What can you generalize about the feelings of the people of Copenhagen towards King Christian X? It is in the Number the Stars book.

The people of Denmark love King Christian and give him their complete loyalty. Annemarie's father says he would die for his king.

How the people of Denmark loved King Christian! He was not like fairy tale kings, who seemed to stand on balconies giving orders to subjects, or who sat on golden thrones demanding to be entertained and looking for suitable husbands for their daughters. King Christian was a real human being, a man with a serious, kind face.

"You too, Papa?"

"Yes."

"And Mama?"

"Mama too."

Annemarie shivered again. "Then I would too, Papa. If I had to."
