In general, I'll agree with you here. However, if the headcook did say that
to keep out children because they were being cautious, they should have
said it was their rule. Not try to blame it on some nebulous kingdom or
Society rule.

It may be more diplomatic or easier on the headcook, but
is unfair to the kingdom and Society officers. They get blamed for
enough that is there responsiblity already. I consider it rather
unchivalrous of that headcook if it was an intentional lie.
