Magvel love

Why is it that most writers make Innes king after the end of the war?

I can see a few reasons for making him king; they rather want to write about Innes than Hayden, after the war Innes is a hero and Frelia might like to have a war hero as king, etc.

But.

Innes was not the one who stayed in Frelia and tried to keep the order, protected the country from invading forces and even helped his neighbouring country to keep Grado at bay. That was all Hayden. Yes, Innes helped defeating the Demon King, but how much do the Frelians care about that? Wouldn't they rather have a king who fights for them in their land to keep their property safe than a king who wasn't in the country when it suffered? I'm not saying that Innes deserves to be viewed that way, because he did a mighty good thing, but... In the eyes of the population Hayden would be placed above him, wouldn't he? It's natural for a people to care more about their immediate safety rather than the future safety of Magvel (especially since they didn't know about the Demon King). And even if they later heard about the Demon King situation I still think they would want to keep Hayden, because he was there for them. It's a matter of distance. Their focus is on "what happens to me here at home" and not on "something happens at the other end of Magvel that concerns us as well".

Also, wouldn't it be an advantage if Innes stayed prince for a few more years? As a prince he would have more freedom and could leave the country more often on diplomatic missions. As king he couldn't just leave Frelia to have a diplomatic discussion with Ephraim in Renais. Not when Frelia needs rebuilding as well (it's not comparable to the destruction in other countries, of course, but from the viewpoint of the people, they'd rather see a king who cares about them first). In my opinion the best solution would be Hayden stayed king and looks after Frelia while Innes is an ambassador and concentrates on the other countries. It just seems more economic to me.
