उत्तर
Your Most Esteemed Highness. I am getting married shortly, and my jewellery was not ready. I had to go to the goldsmith's shop and ask him to work faster. I sincerely apologise if the tinkling of my anklets distracted the potter. It was the potter's fault that he could not concentrate on his work. I did not intend to bother him. However, the Thief was the real culprit.
