Same thing I was thinking, he will pretend that he died or got severely wounded from being betrayed.

1. This will give the Sorcerer Kingdom good enough reasons to: Invade the Holy Kingdom to avenge their king, for the Holy Kingdom's betrayal

2. Will push the hostile nations, individuals, and rebels to attack the sorcerer kingdom. "Officially" giving the kingdom viable reasons to wipe them out (through self defence)

3. To determine those who are truly loyal and believe in his power at the end of all the conflict.
