The king has power. Indeed a king's realm is defined by the territory over which he has absolute power.
Except, revenge is sour: the king has power only over that which would have voluntarily done it. The realm can only get the king it deserves. It gets the king it prays for, the king it demands. If you're king, it's because you're going to order them to do what they wanted to do anyway.
They say the king and realm are one. Yup. Exactly one. Realm comes first, grows a king to help you understand what kind of realm it is. E.g. america has secret kings because it is a Satanist realm; a realm of Namelessness, where you can't Name the king.
When a king appears to be in conflict with the people, it can only be substantially true if he's not the king. A king can no more be in conflict with his realm than a circle can have corners. If he's truly the king, then he's committing offences against his people because they want to be offended. If a tyrant did not exist, they would have to invent him. If the domestic tyrant refuses to oppress, they will seek oppression from foreigners, and they will get what they desire.
A realm can only get the hero they need, provided they need justice. Degenerates can get the leader they need, provided they need to be tortured and destroyed.
