Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s recent massive update has added even more fuel to the fire for Hans and Henry’s romance, as a poem can now be found under a bed that’s clearly referencing it.

Perhaps unsurprisingly considering the history surrounding the first game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 has faced a fair bit of controversy since it launched. While most agree that it’s a fantastic game and a big step up from the first, it still ended up being a big part of the ongoing culture war due to some of its inclusions.

Perhaps the biggest example of this that really riled a certain crowd up was the optional romance between protagonist Henry and Hans Capon. Despite being completely up to the player and also a perfectly wholesome ending to their relationship, it’s still caused some backlash and many claims it wasn’t “canon”. Well, the latest update has dashed that idea.

Lord Hans Is Clearly Thinking About His Love For Henry In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’s Update

Earlier this week, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 received a massive update that added a number of things, most notably an option to change Henry’s beard and hair. As great as that is, though, perhaps the most talked-about addition is a poem that can now be found under Hans’ bed in Devil’s Den.

Over on the Kingdom Come: Deliverance subreddit, Redditor Fun-Ad-2823 shared the poem in full and confirmed that it can now be found under Hans’ bed after the latest update. The poem is a romantic one, which refers to a knight and squire sleeping together and playing “with each other’s swords”.

A knight in battle attire,

got into bed with his squire.

Instead of conquering forts,

They played with each other’s swords.

While the book, referred to in-game as “A collection of somewhat bawdy poems”, can be found in other areas of the game such as Trotsky Castle, the fact that it was hidden under Hans’ bed is a nice nod to his feelings for Henry that suggest they’re canon whether the player makes that choice or not (even though they totally should).

To nail the point home, Hans’ bed also has a stamina-increasing Buck’s Blood potion hiding underneath it, which I’ll let you figure out the meaning of. Even though the poem likely wasn’t written by Hans like some have suggested, it’s clearly supposed to be a nice nod towards his true feelings.
