A Question

Here is another question I have in KoA. It's after the assassination, in the king's room:

"If he'd been stoic and denied the pain, the entire palace would have been in a panic already, and Eddisian soldiers on the move."

l read the sentence  again and again, but I can't understand why if Gen deny the pain, then the palace would panic? I think that if the king was calm, the palace wouldn't panic.

And then "He'd mean to deceive them, and he'd succeeded."  Deceive them what? I totally can't understand these, so I am all confused about following things as well. May someone explain it for me? But just those two sentences. I'd like to try to figure out the following by myself. Thanks!!

I think Costis will be Captain of Gen's Guard. As well as being sent off to deal with the Medes (because Gen cannot strangle N. with one hand...). And I think the visit to Mede Land is the actual "special duty".
