Basically, there's this idea in Daironya (and most other neighboring countries) that "the royal family" is not sacred.  Any purple fairy has a right to the throne if they have the brains or power or connections to get it.  Murder is extremely frowned upon, but trickery and coercion are considered completely legitimate.  As such, the king is hardly an absolute ruler -- he is responsible to all other purple fairies to keep things running acceptably.  If they start to disapprove, he'll be gooooone.
