Spoiler for :

Just ignore that, it's irrelevant to the story because it takes place in an alternative timeline where the kingdom ends up being defeated.

The MC and the princess corpses were never found so the king thinks the MC was able to read ahead enough to escape, but it really doesn't matter either way because that timeline got reset.
