For centuries in power, his bloodline has treated justice as if it is holy, executing anyone who dares defy Law. Having commenced one too many executions of innocent prisoners in recent time, at a large gathering of many other Majesties like him, he decides he needs some alone time to sort out his feelings.
Until Prince Valentine finds him and immediately recognizes something is wrong.
