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).
This novel depicts the full story of Hollow Knight in the perspectives of 5 different characters, which are represented in 5 long chapters. Many things in the Hollow Knight lore are very unclear, so we had to fictionalize some things. Please dont get mad because some events appear that are not 100% confirmed to be accurate. Im not Team Cherry. I dont have the lore bible. I dont work at ICE anymore.
This isn't your typical fan fiction where everyone... ya know... does the nasty.
This is a (mostly) lore accurate depiction of the Hollow Knight story (I hope. Could be dead-ass wrong tho). Like I said, we had to implement some of our own theories because many things aren't clear.
Have fun reading and stuff.
Also this should be obvious but
