There is nothing so majestic as a king.
The true nature of a king is seen by those he leads. A lion’s subjects are incredibly loyal by choice, not an obligation. They know their king makes the wisest choices for the good of his people, not for himself. These subjects have unending loyalty toward their king, and he knows he can trust them. For any ruler, trusted companions are incredibly rare. This is why the lion’s subjects are called his pride. A lion’s kingship is beautiful because the people choose it each day, not because it is enforced by a dictator.
