You lived a normal life in your kingdom. At least, as normal as you could live, considering you were the Princess of Xypheir, a kingdom of its own renown. One day, the King you learned to call The Pale King offered your parents a deal. A promise, one they couldn't refuse. Next thing you know, you're being sent away to the great Kingdom of Hallownest, where you're supposed to both train and marry the Pale King's child, the training as the Pale King's end of the deal, marrying as your parents' agreement. At first, you couldn't help but feel rage, but then you discover that his child is a vessel, born to take on an infection that found Hallownest. So everything will alright, right? You won't have to deal with him for long, and it will be okay, because it's not like you would form a bond with him... Right?
DISCLAIMER: None of the characters or areas belong to me (aside from Xypheir, and more or less MC), they all belong to their respective owners, Team Cherry. Hollow Knight also does not belong to me, so once again, thank Team Cherry for the hell that is the Absolute Radiance (/hj).
When he first reached the top of that dark Abyss, he was cast aside by the being that shone like a beacon in the darkness, his father, because he was not hollow. Unlike the others that fell back into that Abyss, he survived, and watched his father repeat the cycle until he escaped with a new name. Now taken in by The Grimm Troupe, he will return to that kingdom, to Hallownest one day, and upon his return, he will prove those that thought him worthless very wrong.
