LORE SPECULATION (THEORY ON THE IDENTITY OF THE PRINCE/PRINCESS, SPOILERS)

I believe that the Lost Sinner is the Princess and the son of the Old Iron King is the same Prince connected to this covenant.

There are two Belfries in the game, the Princess' bell is in the Lost Bastille and the Prince's bell is in the Iron Keep.

The giant mutants in the water leading to the Lost Sinner's boss room drop bell-keeper shields. Additionally the doors to the left and right of her boss room can only be unlocked by using a key that is only obtainable by going through the Belfry Luna.

Here is what I think happened.

The Old Iron King and the Prince are trying to fight the undead curse by imprisoning and locking them up.

Enemies in the Iron Keep are remarkably similar to those at Heide's Tower of Flame. The fire element and the intention of locking undead up also connects the two. Remember that the Tower leads into the wharf where undead were shipped to the Bastille for imprisonment. So I think that Heide's Tower is connected to the Iron Keep. Perhaps the real name of the Old Iron King or the Prince was Heide.

The Princess (Lost Sinner) has clear connections to the Witch of Izalith and her sin was also that she attempted to reignite the first flame.

So the Princess tried to help the Prince and the Old Iron King break the undead curse by attempting to reignite the first flame.

This failed and created the demons that we fight in this game, perhaps even transforming the Prince into the Smelter Demon, who then led his father to flooding the Iron Keep with lava.

The Princess (Lost Sinner) locks herself away out of guilt in the Lost Bastille.

She fights in the dark because the symbolic deprivation of light/fire is part of her punishment.

Thoughts?
