(I'll post my reply to this here as well so others can see it)

I agree with you, the crucial emptiness is obviously referring to the Void, otherwise that entire conversation that Hornet has with the Knight does not make any sense at all. After all, Hornet calls the crucial emptiness "such darkness" in the next line, therefore both "darkness" and "crucial emptiness" have to refer to the Void.

And yes, Hornet is referred to as the Gendered Child only because all of the Pale King's other children (the Vessels) are non-gendered. She is not called "Gendered" because she supposedly is the only Void being with a gender. I think most people who think so don't know that Hornet and the Vessels are half-siblings.
