The broken king went serching for the greatest bugs of many lands but this time it was not about, strength, willpower or magic control. This time it was about the knowledge of the bugs and the respect they had.
They were:
Lurien the Watcher
A bug that lived in the capital of the city in his tower watching everyone and everything.
Monomon the Teacher
A bug that lived in a temple that was in a canyon filled with mist were no one could find it. inside the temple she would study the signs of the infectrion and try to find a solution to it
Herrah the Beast
A great bug that lived in a place were the king wasn't accepted as a ruler, this place was called "Deepnest" and it was mostly known because they tried constructing in it but hte construction got shut down as the progress they were making would be inmediatly nullified by the local bugs. But this bug seemed to be the ruler of all the "intelligent" kin of bugs they called themselves "Weavers"
Most of these bugs accepted with no doubt but Herrah wouldn't accept saying things like if she accepted they would overtake the small tribe that she had built with her own hands. The king said that if she accepted he would give her everything she wanted Money, Fame, Knowledge, Soldiers Anything
So she accepted but she chose that the king gave her a child to keep her small kingdom alive
So the king accepted this treaty and gave her a daughter. when The Ex-Queen heard these news she wanted to go back to the kingdom and see if the king had changed but, she didn't, as she knew that if the king had gone that low it was because he had a plan that was unsightly.
The plan to contain the infection once and for all was seal the hollow knight in the temple of the black egg forever with the help of three Powerfull bugs. This was done if the chosen bugs were put in a state of "coma" for eternity because if the seals would be broken an infected killing machine would be free, and it would be the end of "Hallownest" .
After some discussion the powerfull bugs accepted but their people didn't and started to attack the kingdom and city, the king didn't know what to do so he locked himself up in his castle and waited for the "Dreamers" a name he had given them, to go to sleep forever.
Monomon And Lurien did it inmediatley but Herrah didn't want to go to sleep she was looking for some one to take care of the daughter that the king gave her, but time was running out the king was the only one that knew the seal spell and his own people wanted him dead.
Herrah quickly gave her daughter "hornet" to a group of loyal weavers in a secret place were she would grow up and be the ruler of the kingdom her mother left for her, She gave this message to the group of weavers and completed the ritual.
And so the seal was completed the hollow knight would never see the sunlight again but the "Radiance" wouldn't stay like that forever, before it was sealed , when the king took it down to show the hollow knight his origins he managed to infect a small creature that would secretly expand the infection, and it went to the mountains full of the precius cristal and inserted itself in the cristals all of the people of the capital wore and completely nullified the king's plan to beat the infection
The king that had again failed to his people fled into his castle and then he the castle and all of the guards that the king had deployed in the city disapeared forever.
