About This Quote
The king is a good man, and an old friend, but it has been a long time, and kings change. Even more than other people, kings change. If the king were to die it would cause problems for the kingdom. Historically, Kings have not been known as great friends and many do not last very long in their roles. This quote speaks to the fact that if the king does pass away then those closest to him will be affected by his death.
