There's no reason to resort to violence immediately, and to do so would be against the tenet of preservation of life.If, however, you already know (or soon discover) that the king is evil and could not possibly be dissuaded from his bird-genocide, then I'd say yes, at the very least you'd have to add the king to your list of People Who Must Be Stopped, even if you decide (out of self-preservation, another Ancients tenet) not to take further action in the moment.It's not about upholding every single subsection of the oath every second of every day.
