About indirect speech:

• The sentences that are given in direct speech must be changed into indirect speech.
• When a sentence is changed into indirect speech, the comma and quotation marks must be removed.
• The entire sentence is converted into past tense. That is the verbs take the past tense form.
• The person (pronoun) within the quotation marks must be changed in reported form accordingly.
• The given sentence is interrogative. So the question mark must be removed in reported speech we must used 'asked' because it is a question.
• It is a yes/ no question and so we should use 'whether'.
• As we are changing question form to indirect form of speech, the noun will precede the verb.
• Therefore the answer is: The King asked his friends whether they were angry because they had lost their leader. He added that he was their King and he would be their leader.
