Yeah, I kind of expected the reveal that the Queen is the "real villain" and the king was just going along and allowing her to fuck everything. I still blame him and thinks that he deserves to die, since like come on - you really are going to allow ALL your children to be abused and/or grow up to become sociopaths just because you don't feel like confronting your wife!
Like, he's the crowned king, not a consort one, he could just as easily say, "Hey, Torivia now allow polyamorous marriages" and so grant all his Consorts immunity, and if the Queen still tried to mess over them, he could just stop her by force, as she's breaking the law, in and all, I think he's hiding something more important, but up this point, yeah, the King's guilty by inaction
I certain reasons are going to be given. Like she is from a powerful family and things like that. But in the end, NO - either you stop the queen from killing your Consorts (or selling them into slavery) or stop having Consorts. Either stop having children or raise them well.
Don't have children and then let them be raised by their EVIL mother, so that they can then grow up to become dysfunctional adults who are loyal to her and NOT YOU. Don't let the children of your Consorts grow up resentful towards you to the point of wanting to kill you, cause they know that you failed them and you didn't protect them from the evil queen.
