Oi, so many offbase comments in here. Why are so many people expecting some kind of personal bodyguard or handholding duty from the king himself?
The king has done as much as any king can reasonably be expected to do, assign the best people available to the tasks related to the saintess', and also directly offered apologies and reparations for the failures of those assigned responsibility in a formal capacity. People need to to remember, he's the king of country, he is NOT the person to have personal connections, cares and worries about specific people.
His actions that people are deriding here, are the very actions of a good ruler that are protecting not only the saintess, but the health and wellbeing of the entire kingdom. Are the decisions easy? No. Are they completely without fault? Of course not, perfect solutions DO NOT EXIST, however from the perspective of a king and a nation, they are perfectly reasonable.
