I'm really interested in this particular story. This is a great read.
The king is a good ruler who wants the best for his people. He listened to his subjects and did the best he could to correct his son. Such a great king he is.
As for the son, youthful exorbitance is what is driving him nuts. I hope he learns his lessons after this last attempt, he even escaped being executed.
I hope when his father accepts him when he returns.
