Uh... I don't really know about kings, but I guess Alphas are kinda the same idea...

I guess... They kinda have to understand that sometimes it's not just about what a treaty—or a law actually says, it's about the spirit of it, too. And they can't be the type of wo—person who's willing to lead the people following them to certain death. I mean, sometimes people die, and that's life, but if you know that everyone will die or get seriously hurt, and you won't win...

[no, he's getting carried away.]

Yeah. Anyway—that's what I think.
