Basically, as we have been saying time and time again, the story can't go to the King's realm, because Karakura needs to be destroyed for that to happen. Not to mention that there is no point in having eliminated every character in existance to clear the way just for Ichigo to beat Aizen if we're going to introduce the Royal Guard.
