Thanks for the chapter!
Looks like the King is in charge due to his noble spirit, charisma, and wild ideas while his staff keep the country running smoothly and do damage control for his antics. Be interesting to see what happens when Blade hits puberty and actually starts to notice the charms of girls. Although isn't this the first time his torso is exposed to everyone, so why aren't they asking him why he has so many scars? That many, along with the big one, shows that he's been attacked numerous times and almost died often which isn't normal for a kid.
