Elijah's heard quite a few fairytales about kings. He also would really like to be a prince, and for that reason likes to pretend that his parents are a king and a queen, especially since his dad's name means "little king." The following conversation will make more sense in this context.

Daddy: Depends on the king.
Mommy: In some countries there's a king but you don't have to do anything he tells you.
Daddy: That's true.
Elijah (after a pause): Daddy is that kind of a king...
