It might be lame, but it is the official rule of RP in BattleMaster, handed down from Tom himself in no uncertain terms, that if someone receives a roleplay message, they are completely free to assume they have every piece of information written in that message.
Even if it's only laid out in the character's internal monologue.
True, but simultaneously it is also everyone's right to choose for their chars not to know about it and subsequently dismiss it as a lie and attack anyone who does believe it IC. RP's allow for ambiguity in this way, which creations friction, which creates fun. If you don't like the King for using this RP as info, just say that the peasants lied and you have a good reason to rebel against the King for instance.
