King is a mid to end game goal. You wouldn't want to go for it as soon as you start.
If a Kings town was destructible as soon as they took castle literally nobody would be King. The only Kings the realm would see would be nubs who don't know what they're doing. As soon as these nubs are King their town would be destroyed and they'd probably want to quit the server.
There's also a way people could abuse this. If you have somebody on the inside of a town all you need to do is to get them to claim the ancient throne and the town is now raidable. Nobody would invite new players out of fear and the new players would be forced to create their own town (and then they would claim throne and get it destroyed).
