Page 38-40. A question with two answers: Why would a person be called a King on the day he is crowned if he hasn’t yet done anything, or even thought about what he’d do, as a king? Answer 1) Because that event draws out from his essence (שלימות הנפש) the possibility to govern. Answer 2) He may already have drawn Kingship out of his essence and considered the possibility of being a King, This is reinforced when he is crowned.
