@fiore @hijabicatgirl What no the Pale King was the good guy. He made the bugs smarter and sealed away the Radiance, but he cared about the Hollow Knight too much which made him weak and caused the Radiance to seep out and start infecting bugs again. The issue with the Pale King is the methods through which he tried sealing the Radiance away. Terrible he had all those failed vessels made.
