Without knowing too much with regards to the background of the story it could go either way that the king was the one who was going back on his words thus the bad one or him who may have put the dragon scenario and made such a situation that potentially the king found out / figured it out thus had him chased and put to death.

Alternatively it could be both of them, basically he plotted it and the king also was being the bad who who went against what he promised.

But either way he could of had any other wish but deciding he wanted to marry the princess hinted more towards he was already a bad person. Most likely if the king only had her as a child then he probs thought if he were to be the husband the throne will be his eventually.
