Given the number of enemies he had made over the years the Warrior King would have had more then enough reason to simply hide and fade into history. A king even a benevolent one understands that there are a lot of people want his throne. A poor man fears few men a king fears every man. What enemies? At the end of the war, everyone was ready to bow down to Vale, they made peace with a treaty, and there was no indication given that Mantle or Mistral harbored any bitterness about any of it.

And the kingdoms' governments were restructured, the king left his throne, Vale is now run by a council. The throne - or rather, lack thereof - is worthless. Vale is no longer a monarchy. It seems that some people are interpreting the last king of Vale part as that he was forced to abdicate, yet he was the one who led the government restructuring. And if he didn't want to give up the throne, then why did he even start peace talks? He could've just ruled the world, instead he agreed to pretty much let it go.
