Solution
- Goldsmith: He designed the ornaments for the Moneylender's daughter and the Queen. He followed and feared the King.
- Hangman: An executioner who hangs convicts. He merely follows the king's commands. He lacked skill; despite being the hangman, he couldn't even tie a proper noose.
- Sage: The Sage of Ghangor Forest was knowledgeable. He made a clever plan to save his disciple from being hanged and expected the king's reaction.
