The last feat involves surviving in a tidal-flooded cave. Charlie figures out that air pressure will form a bubble at the top of the cave where he can survive. Before he tries it, he unwisely lets Dzenko know that once he is king he will stop Dzenko's plans for setting himself up as ruler of a smarter and more ruthless version of Olaghi's tyranny. Thus Charlie survives the cavern but is nearly murdered by Dzenko, but holds him off till Hector shows up to the rescue. Charlie is duly crowned, rights various wrongs and sets up a parliamentary monarchy, whose "eternal" (and therefore presumably irreplaceable) absent king will be himself. Then he leaves the planet to the fond strains of "Will Ye No Come Back Again." Though there is a lot of humo,, some heavy-handed, Charlie really does show development from a bookish boy who thinks feudal society is romantic to a more mature person who understands the sometimes grim realities of the culture and feels a genuine commitment to improving the lives of its people, though ultimately by renouncing power instead of using it to impose his own notions on the people he has come to love.
