so in The King In Yellow, there was some dude (brother1) who was meant to be king, but his brother (brother2) wanted his place (this brother knew of The King In Yellow, and probably worshipped him) and he threatened to kill his ignorant brother1 for it. now brother2 threatened brother1, saying he would kill him, but he could be spared if he went into exile instead.

for some reason (maybe fortune telling), brother2 didnt want brother1 to ever marry (and possibly have kids with) a lady that brother1 has known for a while. brother2 ordered a hit on the lady as precaution to avoiding their marriage, but in the end its revealed that the hit man (who was pretty much doing this hit against his will anyway) flung himself into the public suicide chamber, as he was meant to but only after killing the lady, which he did not. in the end, brother1 learned of this and killed brother2.

now in a different story in the same book, there were two guys, guy1 was in love with a lady and she loved him, but she also secretly loved guy2. she fell ill and during that time confessed that she also loved guy2. guy1 and guy2, (very sophisticated story telling here, good job me) their relationship as friends was severed but not severly, and they were still good friends.

(before the lady fell ill) guy1 had discovered a sort of "new element" type of thing which turns living things into marble in a matter of seconds, turns them marble white while their veins and blood turn blue. only when there is bright flash of light is it safe to take a small marble-ified animal or flower out of the formula. guy1 wanted to try this on something bigger, so he filled a basin (or bath, i forgot how big or small a basin was) normally used for cleaning with this formula, one could easily mistake it for water since it is clear.

(after the lady fell ill) guy2 also fell ill, and during that time he thought he saw guy1 standing over him, but later it is revealed that guy1 had killed himself, so guy1 could never have seen him, and later still its revealed that guy1 committed suicide (via gun) after finding that his lady had fallen into the basin with the formula which she couldve mistaken for water. but in the end its again revealed that the marble-ification is actually only temporary, and also that guy1 left all that he owned (he was rich and with a mansion) to guy2.

interperet this lore however u wish if u even read this i guess...
