Per the Old King saying during the last Tyngwall that they were “too busy to keep up with the ruleset much these last few weeks”, and the fact that they’ve cast no votes since the 7th. The King being assumed to vote DEF on everything would be fine and keep the queue moving, and is probably better than them abstaining entirely or idling out (which seems likely to break some of the critical King-referencing rules).

This would also put more meaningful focus onto Gilebertus the Hale of Westertownfordshire, who isn’t voting much either.
