Right. Ilya was literally the backbone of the people of Hanu for like 7/8 years when they were under tyranny of the older brother. He found refugees taught people skills, comforted the people the best he could and acted as what he thought was his duty as a monarch should be when Khalid was recovering/in hiding and he was unaware of it. The people ADORE their omega queen. And omegas there are considered highly among the people so like the people won’t stay still when they think their queen who has done so much for them may be in danger . XD his family has no freaking clue how loved Illya is in Hanu. XD

He didn’t just marry into royalty or be born a divine omega. He supported and led the people in wartime, civil unrest, and societal collapse. He earned the loyalty of his people by putting his life on the line for them. Even if Khalid did nothing, once the public found out what happened they would riot until he had no choice to bring him back.
Lmaooo they don't know how the citizens of Hanu will go to war for him ┑( ̄Д  ̄)┍
