After you pick the first card there will be left 51 cards in the pack.
The second pick will deal with the remaining 51 possible events and the events associated in picking one of the 4 kings. The problem is that in the first pick you may have picked a king...
Now:
if the first card was a face card different from a king we get that there are still 4 kings in the pack and so:
p=451=0.00784 or 7.847.8% probability to get a king;
if the first card was a king we get that in the pack we have only 3 kings left, so:
p=351=0.00588 or 5.885.9% probability to get a king.

Explanation:
We need to consider two scenarios:
The first card is a face card, not a king, and the second is a king
The first card is a king and the second card is a king.
P(F,K) or P(K,K)
=(852×451)+(452×351)
=322652+122652
=442652
=11663
Probabilities are usually given as a fraction.
As a percent this would be 1.66%
