Step 1
Reveal the opening clue
Press Hint once on the 5×5 board. It confirms the King in row 1, column 1, giving you a transparent starting clue instead of asking you to guess. Mark the rest of row 1, column 1, and its lower diagonal neighbour.
Your first complete solve.

Step 2
Let the blue realm narrow
Combine the occupied first column with the diagonal block. Keep checking the left-side blue realm against claimed rows and columns until row 4, column 2 is its only legal royal seat.
Step 3
Use line pressure in the middle
Rows and columns now squeeze the peach and sand realms. Row 2 resolves to column 3, while row 5 resolves to column 4.
Step 4
Finish the last open line
Only row 3 and column 5 remain without a King. That final cell also belongs to the only unfinished realm, so all three constraints agree.
Check
Verify all four laws
There are five Kings: one in each row, column, and coloured realm. No pair touches diagonally. The board is complete without testing against a hidden answer.
