because there's a deterrent.

putin fear the world's retaliation, more specifically the US's nuke. and NATO fear putin's nuke.

but it's kinda clear here that most of people of power(nobles) are on MC's side.even the hero, who's supposed to be a powerful weapon, is weaker than MC.

If you know all of that, you should know that just killing the king is a bad move.

 

[Agoengss]

Will the hero suffer in the future or not?

 

[Mogima]

If you know all of that, you should know that just killing the king is a bad move.

how exactly?
what deterrent do they have?

army? the margrave army is stronger(it's been confirmed in past chapter).
magic? MC is OP on that front.
nuke? they have no nuke.
public opinion? the public is tired of constant tax raise and they hate the king.
recognition of other country? demon country will give it. and in fact, by not killing the king, i guarantee the king will try to negotiate with other human countries to denounce MC's new country. or try to sabotage them somehow.

how exactly is killing the king right there and then is a bad move?

Well there’s a grin that’s about to eat shit

A shit eating grin like they say

 

[Mogima]

Maybe to avoid threatening the "right to rule". It's unclear if this settings have more human countries, however if there are, other states may view more favorably the creation of a new country then rebelling against a king.






Need more

fair point, but they still can kill the king, then go make their own country. it will show the next king(might be his sone or something) that they mean business.

threaten/shut the mouth of everyone present with magic should be doable.

and don't forget that even without foreign countries, the margrave has been doing just fine(except the high taxes issue). not to mention they already have the demon kingdom as an ally.

if other human countries have any brain, they will understand. if not, they have no value as allies anyway.

 

[Mogima]

They are more useful alive. Most of his options at this point will dig his grave deeper, so even if a few people are caught in the crossfire, it'll convince everyone to jump ship faster.

Killing them will cast doubt on the legitimacy of the claims, and allow rebel groups some means of convincing people. Also, they didn't declare war nor trial, which frankly is too much of a bother for these idiots.

thank you for giving me a legit argument and not "just because"

I mean, if the Margrave kill the king immediately without any Trial whatsoever.
It will make a image that he is tyrant who will kill anyone based on his feeling.
While i do agree that he is justified to kill those two because they kill his daughter in terms of morals. But it's really a bad move for someone who want to become king of his own country.
Yes, his own citizens in the domain definitely can justify his action because they love him his daughter, but not for the other noble and their people.

Look at history, if you want to make revolution and kill your leader. Convince the people first to do the same.

Not only that, people who weren't there won't know the whole story, what they'll know is second hand version and rumors.
In politics a bad reputation will ruin you, if Darius killed the king he might have looked as a psychopath who kill anyone who piss him off, and if do that to a fucking king, who to says he won't do it to you?
At least that's how many people in power will think since they won't know the full story neither which version told by others is the truth.

 

[flannan]

Yeah.
I also wonder why Putin didn't bomb Kyiv to Kill Zelensky yet or Why Nato don't attack Kremlin to kill Putin.
/s

Basically, rulers are replaceable. And in case of Zelenskiy and this country's king, it is statistically likely that they would be replaced by somebody more competent. In case of Putin, replaced by somebody actually as warlike as Putin is portrayed by Western media.
As some Chinese general has said, "Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake".

fair enough argument. thx.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

It suddenly became a coup. This kingdom is finished.

 

[Hollow7F]

i like how the king was such trash that the moment another high rank went:
''His leadership sucks, hes bleeding money out of all of you, the was is pointless, im making a new kingdom, u want in?''
and everyone went Yes pls!

 

[Tairo]

why won't they just kill the king and bishop?

Because that would just cause more conflicts.
Most average citizens would not be aware of politics, so if the king was suddenly killed, it'd be easy for power-hungry nobles to start small rebellions all over so they can try for the empty throne.
It'd be better to have a public trial, to show the people why he is being dethrones, and then formally crown a new king at the same time. If the people are made aware and shown that the takeover is reasonable, very few would complain.
Also, by being non-violent, any opposing faction that tries violence in the power-struggle would look like a villain to citizens and get very little support.
