Hey pipi! Hope you're doing okay!
1 - how come Knighter (and probably other puppets) don't like us?
2 - do the puppets think it's an actual kingdom or do they know it's a theatre and just stay in their roles?
3 - what was Crownus like? As in personality-wise. (I assume he was...manipulative at least but I could be wrong)
4 - is the narrator another puppet/creature or something else entirely?
If my questions are too lore revealing, you don't need to answer!
You will find it later (spoiler). But i think for knighter, the reason is quite obvious.
They know it's just a theater. But at the same time, they see the theater as their real kingdom and their home.
You're right. He is manipulative. Someone also mention that he is silver tongue which is also correct.
A puppet
