A ruler is not a boss

A king or whoever ruling is like a street maintenance unit arranging things for a certain area. People living on that area are not subordinates of them, even though they may respect the needs of that kind of work there. Likewise a gardener cares for a garden and is not a boss of those who visit the garden, even though the garden may be his/her kingdom, his/her opinions there respected but that's it, it is not a question of commanding.
