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).
Sometimes two people have to fall apart to realize how much they belong together.
If I knew what time it was that night, would I have still met him?
"I love you." He says, and I look at him with teary eyes, but it isn't before I notice how drops of liquid fall from behind his mask. He's crying. "Dream, you know, you can't love me."
Y/n, a lost girl who reunites with her brothers in L'manburg. A girl who has grown to fight, living on her own, but a girl who has forgotten how to love. With a hidden identity, she meets someone special. A friend who was told to be the enemy. Was it more than just a friend though?
Her love life is spent figuring out whether or not this person can be trusted. A person from her past that she had shared with the same and only person she'll be with, but when something so tragic happens to come her way, she loses everyone and everyone loses her. Were they really friends? Or were they sworn enemies? And what will be the outcome?
"Why do you lie to me?" He asks, softly. "Because I don't wanna like you more than I already do." I whisper, hesitantly.
Do they allow fate to take over what should be theirs? Or do they let go of something they thought they never had?
