Well, I think the whole deal with the King has intentionally been full of misleading information all along.

The original story we were told seems to have been completely false, likely there to distract V and keep them looking in the wrong direction. Eto played the "King" as Aogiri's leader, keeping them busy and desperate to find her. It probably also played into her plans by putting pressure on Yoshimura, since V figured he was hiding the "King" from them.

Meanwhile, Arima has held the title in a symbolic fashion. He was the final test for the person that would truly take the title and make it real by leading the revolution. And he played the role of the Reaper, being a symbol of hope for the CCG and fear for ghouls......so that his death would have an enormous impact on both worlds.

They played the CCG and V like a violin.
