Purest of sins (pure vessel x reader(male)

The Encounter

        You are walking through the empty streets of the city when you come across a memorial, on the plaque it says " Memorial to the Hollow Knight, In the black vault far above. Through its sacrifice Hallownest lasts eternal."  In front of you is a statue of the hollow knight, his large figure looming above. the infection has been banished from hallownest, but the hero who did this feat sadly lost their life in the process of defeating the radiance. You stand there staring at the memorial as rain falls around you, and you take a moment to remember what it was like. LIGHT! CONSUME!, you can almost hear her voice in your head still commanding you. You were once a mender someone who fixed all of the signs of the city, but since the infection and its recent downfall the city has been silent for all but a few voices. Many died due to the infection driving them mad, but many survived still left with the remnant of the radiances voice in their head. 

         You continue on your way to Lem's shop when you notice a tall and thin figure with large horns coming into view, was it truly The Hollow Knight himself? I bowed out of respect, and saw his flowing white cloak come closer. "Rise, there is no need to bow. I am not your king." his voice soft yet strong. "yes, of course." you say with a shake in your voice as he reaches for you. He softly glows a pale glow, his shell a luminescent white. "what is it like, you know, being famous and all?" you ask. he stops to think before saying " i'm not famous I was just doing what I had to, and even then I failed to contain the radiance." speaking with remorse. "the radiance plagued mine and many others minds for years, before the other vessel came to my rescue. if it wasn't for them we would all still be trapped in that terrible mindscape." you are quite shocked, The Hollow Knight is denying his efforts as insufficient and saying that he failed. " im sorry, I kind of let off a big emotional load on you. how about you come over to the white palace with me?" he said in his soft and low voice,and you gladly oblige.
