Sure, Midas wanted to sound like a saint. He wanted to be a ray of hope in the darkness of the shadow that he had cast.
This was the method that won him over the mosquitoes after all.
However, he did not want anyone to mistake his intentions.
'If you side with me, I will treat you like my child. I will make you feel loved and reward you for acting in such a way. But... I can not reward you, nor talk to you in the same kind tone, if you go against me. I must punish that behavior so that you don't keep acting like it.'

It was their killing intent. Both were separate feelings, but they made Midas understand their thoughts almost immediately.
Both parties tensed up slightly as silence ensued.
