In this scenario, the real King is very unlikely to have a role powerful enough to justify avoiding the lynch of mafia. There are only a couple of roles that I would hesitate to trade for a member of the mafia, like cop or doc, and the King is unlikely to have one of those.
You could be something like "King's double" who has a safe fake claim, made to lynch/kill you instead of the real King. If I was the King I surely wouldn't claim it like you did.
So just so we are clear, you are saying that you would have lied? Glad that we know your motivations here.
And if I was the King, I wouldn't counterclaim you, better you get lynched than me. It's better for the town...
This makes no sense. The whole point of counterclaiming is to ensure that the other person gets lynched. If you were King and you counterclaimed him, BuJaber would be insta-lynched as a matter of policy. You would know that he was lying and therefore probably scum, so it would make sense. You wouldn't be at risk of a lynch, you would be if anything at risk of a mafia night-kill.
