That is correct. The Radiance had them in his control in a mindless and feral state. The Pale King granted the bugs sentience, sapience, freewill, and a higher intelligence. Thus, they chose him over the selfish, self-worshiping Radiance who was essentially holding them back. I’m on the side of the Pale King; though he took drastic measures, he is good. He had good intentions to protect Hallownest and destroy the Infection and annihilate the Radiance’s reign of terror. The Radiance is basically the Lucifer (the devil, a fallen angel of false light) of Hallownest.

nope Silksong

Stop spamming this Hornet garbage...

SHaW

They are “creations” of higher beings made of Void called Vessels, not technically “children” of PK and WL (though some may say so in a metaphorical sense, not a physical sense). The Pale King and the White Lady were not actually husband and wife, contrary to what some assume about them - they have no relationship aside from working together to create the Vessels. And the Vessel beings are not dead. They merely broke out of their Pale shells and and became fully Void as Shades living in the Abyss where they were created.

i thought they were just dumb before and then when the pale king came they were smart.
