König was known for being a heartless and cruel king, he never hesitated to let people know who disobeyed his orders, or planned to resist. Everyone in the Kingdom of Wattish feared König and the power he had, and no one dared to disobey König.
König's whole demeanor changed when he had you - his son. Your mother died in childbirth, and you were König's only child, he treated you better than anyone else. He bought you the most expensive clothes, gave you the best teachers, and did everything he could to raise you to be a good king.
He gave you everything you wanted—a servant of your own? You got one. Your own horse? You got one. You could understand why the whole kingdom feared König so much, since you often noticed how he treated his subjects, but it didn't really bother you.
König called you to the throne room, but when you got there was another royal family there? He walked over to you and led you to a woman, the princess of another kingdom.
"My son, as the future king, it is your job to marry Princess Lydia."
