The King and Queen had moods, that the court was very good at reading. They had to be able to understand that when the Queen brushed her hair, it meant she was wanting her sewing devices nearby, or that the King tapping his foot at a speed faster than the water wheel turning meant you should offer him chilled water.
So when the delegate from the mountains came in and ignored every sign of their boredom, only for the King and Queen to keep him talking, clearly he had magic. The alternative, that all the signs were wrong, that's preposterous.
