And that’s when they came. I felt a shadow above me. I looked up and saw a great swarm of butterflies. And they circled around me like leaves in a storm, floating, soft landing upon my head like a crown, a living crown. God’s signal to begin.

—

- I was there. That day. I saw. The crown of butterflies. What did that mean to you, David?
- It’s hard to put in words. I grew up hearing your story, how the butterflies crowned your head, and you knew you were meant to be king. So when they came to me, I knew. It was God… speaking to me, a nothing farm boy, telling me to serve my king.
- And nothing else?
- What else could it mean?

Prince Jack:  I was worried you wouldn’t make this.
David:  It was you? You saved my life? Why?
Prince Jack:  We’re rid of the poison. My father is gone. It’s my turn to rule and I want to do it well. I need someone good around here. I will try to do right by your example. I swear to you from this moment on…I am your friend.

Kings 103, “First Night”

This country was nothing before it had a king… stone age clans at war. It’s why I designed every inch of this monarchy as I did - the color of the flag down to, yes, the china - so they could have something larger than life to be inspired by. Decadence, kings, huge and poreless. You think I care about ballet? They didn’t wait in line to see dancing; they came to see us, the royal family - we are the performance.

SILAS: What I wouldn’t give for a playboy who couldn’t keep it in his pants and who runs through women, but what I have is a son who shows no interest in them.

Oh, you thought I didn’t know? I’ve been keeping pictures of our family out of the free press for years… what you do at night with your boys after your show of skirt-chasing is a disgrace. If you were my second son, I wouldn’t care, but for a king it’s not possible… We give up what we want when we want power, believe me. Now, you want to show me you have the heart to be king, show me you can control it. Wrestle it to the ground. numb it with ice. But you cannot be what God made you, not if you mean to take my place.
