Does anyone else feel that their players kinda fetishize Royalty?

well okay.

then lets back up and do this: the king is mad right? and they serve him unquestioningly right? well what if the king's insanity was getting worse to the point of delusion, and thinks that if they kill him he will ascend and become immortal and godlike and thus orders the party to kill him and serve no one but him even after he ascends? but he is completely wrong and it just screws up everything.

To be fair… the King is currently a teenager so I sincerely doubt he will be THAT mad… yet

I can see him gain that level of delusion after a couple more decades of his mind eroding from paranoia and mistrust.
