Nope.... you see the dad has the same face has his old self ... that's why he complained at the beginning like why do I still have the same face and what not..... and since the dad has the same face it's like looking at his past self but blonde..... and now he sees the king that has the same face of his bestfriend from his past life..... it's more like a metaphor like dad looks like his past self and now his bestfriend looks like his past bestfriend self ...... I think it's just a reference of the friendship of his past life.....
Ohh Okay thanks :D
Actually I don't think it has to do with the best friend I think the king is this person here from chapter 20 http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/tensei_shichattayo_iya_gomen/nbt/mk_chapter-20/pg-22/
as for the reason why he vaguely recognized him I'm guessing it was because of the contract he made with shiro? this is pure speculation though I might be completely wrong ╮(￣▽￣)╭
Oooooh i forgot about that.... i was basing it more cuz the silhouette looks like the friend from the past life....

But yeah yours is probs right 2 (=・ω・=)
Now that I look at these I’m starting to get convinced it’s the friend
Not reincarnated but transported entirely as himself, warms my heart knowing Will was seeing his friend with the Dragon
checking that page realised it was just the dragon remembering so Will didn't see, wish they could share memories
IF the resemblance is to his best friend, and Will's father looks like his old self...then the King could look like his best friend, but it's actually HIS son who is the reincarnated best friend...i.e. same as Will and his dad.
...If the king has a son...
Or he reincarnated as the king's daughter, ehehe.
His long lost father perhaps?
Maybe, this is actually a "Parallel World" ...Everything is almost similar to his previous world, but it has some differences as well... And his father is actually him in this parallel world, so is the king being this version of his bestfriend.
Spoiler....
Your close but not quite, the king is actually the descendant of his best friend before the isekai
So the best friend of the MC before he reincarnated was also killed but came back as the first king? (Thats what I can deduce from the images....)
What's happening??? Can someone explain why he was resurrected before or if there is any meaning to this?
