מְחַל לָנוּ מַלְכֵּנוּ כִּי פָשָׁעְנוּ

מחל לנו מלכנו כי פשענו
ABSOLVE US OUR KING THAT WE HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT

The chief sin against a king is the refusal to accept his sovereignty. For this we ask Hashem to absolve us for our disobedience, כי פשענו. In this case, we don’t ask for the unconditional forgiveness of a father, but rather for the pardon of the King, which is only on condition that we accept upon ourselves the great yoke of מלכות שמים.
