The king 1. Locked up his sick bedridden sister and let her die due to negligence
2. He was keeping his sister hostage in the first place as a means to threaten and extort their brother— blatantly admitting to sending the brother to suicide level missions hoping he would come back dead
3. The king tormented his brother his whole life due to inferiority complex and because he thought his brother has more legitimate claim to throne
4. The king extorted and conspired against his subjects to get what he wants
5. The whole royal family situation started because the previous king was terrible, but somehow the king never blamed his father just his brother and the late king’s victim
6. After banishing his brother and sister in law from the capital, the king is pressuring them to have their daughter (HIS NIECE) marry his second son so his second son can get a noble title in the future
I just wish the king had a downfall arc… like it wouldnt have been enough but still
