What is the Goldsmith’s excuse?

The Goldsmith's reason was that the King had directed him to set aside all other work and focus on completing the Queen's ornaments first. In order to follow through with this instruction, he was forced to delay the delivery of the Moneylender's daughter's bridal jewellery.
