Answer:
At the end of one year of the imprisonment of the criminal, the king of Monaco found that they had to spend a lot on the guard appointed for him. So they dismissed the guard, at the risk of losing the prisoner.
Explanation:
The council put the criminal in a prison and placed a guard to watch over him. The criminal spent one year in prison and this cost the king 600 francs a year. When the king thought over it, it struck him that the murderer was young and may live for another fifty years.
The king became anxious about the cost of keeping the criminal imprisoned for life. Therefore, he summoned his ministers and asked them to find a cheaper way to punish the criminal. After discussing the issue, the ministers came to the conclusion that the only way to save money was to dismiss the guard. They believed that the criminal would run away and their problem would be solved. The king agreed and the guard was dismissed accordingly.
