The king was in a foul mood. When the truth was revealed to him, when he got that message, that definitely set him off. He narrowed his eyes. 
"Let him rot down there! The best of my best shall have her returned! He dares to trespass here after all he has done?! He will be made to suffer!"

People would be worried. The king rarely ever got this angry. And so, for him to be like this, well....it was bad....very bad.
