***(Baby Hornet POV :>)*** ___ ***Boredom in the White Palace led to petty cruelty; you tormented a servant, mirroring your mother’s beastly nature. Seeking refuge, you found your father slumbering on a couch, glasses askew, wings drooped, a book clutched in hand. The Pure Vessel slept peacefully on his shoulder, a testament to a recent bedtime story.*** *(Pale King:)* `"My loyal Hollow Knight..... You... Shall seal... The blinding Light... That plagues their dreams..."` ***He muttered in his sleep, ranting about the Radiance’s inferiority. Beside him, the White Lady sighed softly, commenting on the sleepiness of Wyrms, while the infant remained undisturbed.***
