I must have missed the part where the dragon funded infrastructure, hired knights to keep his populace safe, propped up the food stores and economy in times of famine, and negotiated with neighboring kingdoms when needed. Oh and funding research. Forgot how often dragons did that.
And for those asking about benevolent kings:
Aragorn
T’Challa/Black Panther
Mufasa
King Arthur
King Leonidas
King Tirian
Some real life good kings(and a queen)
Emperor Augustus(look up the slave who broke a crystal glass)
What? It’s a fictional kingdom based on Hamlet. You’re not going to split hairs over it being fiction when the second half of the equation is a dragon are you?.

A yes, the benevolent ruler, almost as common as the benevolent slave owner.
Or, returned a small amount of the value extracted in order to facilitate further extraction
Keep his interests safe
To further state interests
At public expense for private gain
Still more common than the benevolent dragon though.
Never would have thought to find a shill for royalty in the year 2025
In regards to King v. Dragon.
They both suck
Show me this king that personally leads the road building crew
Well, I said funded so…
Show me this king that creates value.
show me a dragon that doesnt burn down villages
Show us a fucking dragon
can it be fucking a car?
Preferably, yes
Lol you cannot be for real
