The king didn't like the fact that the military seemed to have more control of the land than he did and he had tried to turn the country to be more economically focused.
At first it seemed as though it was starting to work in his favor but the reality soon came to be that they couldn't make it without the military because at the end of the day the military were the ones who were respo9nsible for. Keeping the piece.
However it seemed as though the peace in the country never seemed to last long as rebels and unexpected battles and twists and turns seemed to be faced by the people at any given.
The truth was that the country need the military to keep the peace and to reduce the friction at the boarders and so because of that reason although the king wanted to put his foot down and show that it was his land and he was the one in charge it was hard for him to do so.
