Just so you know, you missed the scene where Marle tries to kill the King.

When they first fight, if you visit him with some Jerky in your inventory, you can offer it to him. It's one of his favorite foods, and Marle gives it as a peace offering. But he rages on, pointing out that Marle knows he has high cholesterol and needs to watch his diet, and that she must be trying to kill him.

I love this quest. It's just so fun. Plus, it's full of hints about the fake chancellor, such as the fact that the enemies near the Rainbow Shell are all enemies from the Church in 600 AD, or the mentions about the family grudge.
