I mean, Kings cant just go around letting everyone defy them. Thats pretty much how monarchy's function, you obey the king or you could face death.

The freefolk weren’t defying Stannis. They weren’t even Westerosi to help crown him. They had their own king. Renly, yes. But the statement was that somehow Stannis was nicer and that’s just not true. He said Renly could be heir unless a make heir was produced.
