Lyl has just come face to face with loving someone who doesn't love you in the same way in two very different extremes in a matter of minutes.
A sad truth in life is that someone you love, who you trust, can ruin your life by betraying everything you thought about them. It is as much that the horrible action is taken by someone you thought would never hurt you as the act itself that causes the trauma. Shock and pain are mixed with fear, not merely because someone hurt you, but because something foundational to your life, to everything you knew, was shattered- Trust.
Good people don't escape bad things by being good people. People who seem like good people can do bad things. Family. Friends. Lovers.
Even if you, yourself, would never hurt another in the same manor, and even would help someone overcome such an act, some will still see that as weakness and attack you. It is very sad, and very true.

Most people are a shade of grey when it comes to being a good person. Most people have a little bad, but mostly good, and then there is a second, very large part of the human race who are dark with a little bit of light. There are unfortunately also a very small minority who are purely black-hearted, and this is all my opinion, but this book, and the people Lyl encounters throughout her journeys, display all these shades, and how I/Lyl understand them.
There are some people who are not Darth Vader, but who are his Master, and though Darth in the end still did have some good in him, his Master could never be turned toward goodness ever again. The proof was in years of unremorseful evil committed; prolonged atrocities with the only change being even worse actions of the same putrescence.
The king was the same.
There are some, very few, people, who if allowed to continue to live, would only wrought more harm with their life, and never any good. They will never add to society, only take away, never help anyone, only harm, and never even regret what they have done to their dying breath. It is sad, but true.
This king is not unforgivable because the Light would never reach out to him as much as that he would never seek forgiveness, and will always spurn the Light.
The only good thing that someone so foul could ever do is inadvertently helping another grow as a person from their abhorrence of the one who embraced only evil, and/or the inspiring of a peoples to unite and combat the unanimous wrongdoing.
