What is revealed about the king as he accepts the purple robe from his oldest daughter in paragraph 6?

6 The king was very surprised with these gifts. After some deliberation he said, “Purple is the most indispensable thing for a king. If he no longer wears purple, he is no longer king and is as common as other humans. Because you have perceived this, my oldest daughter, you shall be decorated with royal purple. Come to me and receive my blessing!”


He expects his daughters to submit to his rule.
He thinks that being a king is more important than anything else.
