I'm a bit confused about the ending. I'm aware it's supposed to be a bit of a mystery but is commander Rip and the Kind of the 4th the same person? Because when Midas is negotiating with the king it makes it sound like both the commander and the king are in the room and thus two different people. Is this a split personalities thing? Because the comment that Rip said, 'make a choice before the king comes' seems weird.
