I like the thought that they would engineer a coup using a more loyal individual, it would likely be done through the use of a Class 5 slave of a species known to them as a servant of their "gods". Why do this? Simple. These servants will likely be seen from time to time on the planet anyway, typically near temples, castles and prisons. As such they are well known and if the coup stops being needed (kings keels over on his own or more important concerns crop up) or if it fails or if those involved are no longer useful then they can throw a failed war against the "gods" in the faith they've built up.
Perhpas this "coup" is forcing the King to marry his only child and daughter to thrash's character and making him the defacto ruler?
I did have the thought of them forcing the King to have his daughter marry but not whom, it's a good idea though. We shall see how it pans out.
