After reading chapter 7, this is how i view the story. The King, i think he is either really fond of the queen, love her or being protective in term of relationship. I don't know if he truly love her, but I don't think he mean any harm for her, with the scenes where he begs for her mercy at the start, I don't think it's because he afraid to die but thinking why things have to go this way, and he even cares to command the guard 1 more time to not let anyone in.
However, he's definitely a possessive and manipulative person, as the example of how he gives the queen the necklace named fate. It can have many meaning, but fate is the antonym of freedom, it's like a collar, to keep her a faithful wife. I think it's his intention, but I think other people do involve around this controlling freedom game, more specifically, that secret group.
That's group include many old powerful nobles, to some extent, even powerful than the king. The king acknowledges this, and his tone answering to these nobles is not of a king, but sbd who was nervous to displease them. I guess their power had an effect to how the king act to the queen, as other words, keep the queen in the square room and limit her power. The king has to do it, since he's not royalty so he need that support from the group.
The reason why they limit her power, easily because she is the straight descendant of the famous queen Agatha, her mother, right? They afraid their power will be limited as she becomes successful, which they try to control the seed before it grows. So when she eventually becomes the ruler at the first chap, everybody thought of her as a witch, maybe the group spread rumors, she kills the king too, who was too good too perfect for everyone accept her, that's why she was killed, and it was a victory of the old nobles.
However, as I think all of them are old nobles, they'll also fear another groups, the new nobles, that's why that cheerful girl was presented, free and wild as a representative for that new group, and they may be the important factor for her future......
Sr for the long comments, that is just my thoughts :)
