Cruel King 👑

Cruel King is the monarch of the Blackrock Kingdom.He took the Ice Dagger (which was previously held within Blackrock Castle) Throughout his dialogue, he appears to be only acting to save his kingdom and is dedicated and loyal to protecting the inhabitants of his kingdom. He fights solely to protect the home of his people and even holds the information of Blackrock's fall to maintain peace at the cost of his "restless nights". The perspective that the player intends to "tear down" his kingdom is influenced by the manipulative voices of the dagger. While it is not clear his kingdom will not be torn down, there is no mention of the player directly causing its fall by taking the dagger beside Cruel King, who has become an unreliable character due to "the voices" manipulating him.The perspective that the player intends to "tear down" his kingdom is influenced by the manipulative voices of the dagger. Cruel King seems to be a reasonable and just ruler, even before the Ice Dagger's influence.He is merciless in protecting his kingdom and determined that with the power of the Ice Dagger, he will save his people from their impending doom, as the voices have told him his kingdom will fall should the dagger be in the player's possession since he mentions "Blackrock Kingdom will cease to exist in your future." He kept hearing voices in his head tormenting him, voices that could have come from the Ice Dagger.....
