#Hollow knight #the pale king #hornet #and this is why she spent a good chunk of her baby years either in the white lady's gardens or with hollow #bc I get the feeling that the Pale Court assumed that the Pale King was this like #untouchable perpetually in control deity #who was always competent and was merely gracing them with his prescence #whereas in reality he's just really distant and reclusive all the time so no one knows he's incompetent with social shit or that he just re #and that reclusion amounts to no one knowing fucking anything about him #including the fact that he has a daughter and that the Pure Vessel is his blood child #like everyone knows Herrah eventually agreed to be a dreamer but the Court assumed it was bc she finally 'saw the light' if you would #only for Herrah's little spiderling to bolt full-tilt at the fucking 'untouchable monarch'#call him dadda #and demand ups #this is why I headcanon the Pale King to pass most of her watching off to the White Lady or the Vessel shcjsjsn #shut up aren
