How does the king handle the arrival of the real Wilks brothers? CH 29-33

The new heirs claim to have lost their baggage and are therefore unable to prove their identity. The King and Duke continue pretending to be the real heirs. They are concerned that their charade would be found out but believe in their "acting" abilities to pull off the scam. Both groups are taken to the tavern where Levi Bell and Dr. Robinson grill them for information.

The first information revealed is that the Wilks money has been stolen, which looks bad for the King and Duke. However, they blame it on the slaves and continue pretending.
