I wouldn't say Viktor's fear is unwarranted, and even Limalicia points this out in Volume 2. Seven retainers who each hold prestige and positions directly beneath the king, each of them holding power equivalent to a thousand knights, all with their own goals and agendas? Definitely enough to make most leaders tremble and cower with fear and paranoia.

Tigre's response to the hypothetical question posed to him, however, was just hilarious.

Brune's king, however, was completely useless, even before the loss of the Prince. He did let the Dukes Tenaldie and Ganlon run amok with their territories, and basically split up the country among themselves for their own self-interests.
