The premise
Medieval fantasy is rare on Candy Shorts, and The Witch Who Made Me King commits to it: a realm of steel and shadow, a knight with no claim to the throne, and seven days to change that. Candy released it in mid-October and files it under Fantasy. The witch is credited to Vexrated, a character created for the series.
The meeting in the forest
The opener is a single encounter. Ser Garrick is out riding when a voice stops him, and the woman who appears already knows his name and his problem: no one will crown a bastard knight. She sets out the arithmetic. Seven lords must kneel; two already have, and five spit on his name. He says he will win them with his sword, and she answers that she would enjoy watching a stable boy try. Her offer is simpler. If he comes to her at moonrise and submits to her will, a lord will kneel by dawn. The episode closes as the hunting party rides back for him.
All of this is talk and atmosphere, with no nudity on screen.
Six more nights
The synopsis promises a bargain of every kneeling lord in exchange for every night, plus betrayal along the way. Episode two asks for a free sign-up and the last three are locked; we have watched neither, so the series has no ratings here for now.
Locked episodes
Three of them, 12 tokens each: 36 tokens in all.
Other thrones on Candy
The Gods Gave Me My Father’s Wife is the nearest neighbour, another story of a crown and a forbidden pairing, though lighter in mood. For fantasy of a different kind, She’s not real is still the top-rated title in the genre on this site.
Initial take
The most ambitious setting of the October releases, with a clear structure built in: seven lords, seven nights. Viewers who enjoy a dark bargain will know within the free opener whether the witch is worth the tokens.
