How I understand the lore concerning Grimm and his troupe is that grimm is being reborn in the grimmchild. Basically he and the Grimmchild are one and the same. The Knight is helping him fill grimmchild with the nightmare flame to mature his new ,,vessel" and in the proces The Knight also gives some of his essence to the grimmchild. In short grimm rapes the Knight. Now why you must kill The Nightmare King. I believe that in order to be reborn completely Grimm must die that will release his ,,flame" and that flame is subsequently absorbed by the grimmchild. The White Lady also remarks on that while wearing grimmchild in his final form. She implies that The Knight is her spawn (could be interpreted multiple ways), but that Grimm will never be the King of hallownest. Its like a very complicated family tree.
