@Rubio Maybe it's time for another hint?
 
probably.
 
I'd post one myself, but it probably wouldn't prove very helpful.
 
You could hint that the 9th letter is
 
Oh, yeah, nice one. Okay:
CCCC hint: The ninth letter is
Wait, wasn't hint 1 T.......?
 
oh well that's unfortunate
CCCC hints 1 & 2: T...L...
 
5:50 PM
Can't... unsee...
 
Nothing happened there
 
Okay, that gives me an idea... but not sufficient to get it. Specifically, I think we were talking about the wrong genre earlier and another song from the king is meant... but I don't see how the wordplay works.
Well... there are Dutch castles called ter Such-and-such. Apparently it just means "the". But if we allow "the Castle" as a clue for TER — which seems wrong to me — then we've "the King" = R in {TER about endless HILL(s)} = "Thriller", a song.
 
6:28 PM
I wouldn't use a Dutch word unhinted like that. Not only because eww, but because I don't know any Dutch words. :)
 
It's (h)ILL(s) inside (TH(R)E + R) (rook, castle).
 
@MOehm And so it is.
 
Phew.
 
Hard, but fair, I hope?
 
The construction is fair, but a bit piecemeal. I thought about the TH(R)E and also of R as rook, but I should have investigated songs of the King of Pop. Never mind.
The "king in the castle" surface is pretty good.
 
6:43 PM
Hehe. I enjoyed that the King was both surface and cryptic relevant.
 
CCCC: Sword fights where the witch came from: At first, a king is installed, later a king leaves (5)
 
7:10 PM
hm, interesting - I think I know how this one works, but I can't get the wordplay
 
7:23 PM
@Rubio yep. Very nice. For some reason, I never think to remove both ends for "endless".
 
7:40 PM
@msh210 I had to bite my virtual tongue so hard when you got the right answer but not the construction. :)
 
@Rubio I hope it didn't virtually hurt you too much. :-)
 
I’ll live hehe

@MOehm Solution to your CCCC is ENDOR (where the witch came from) with K at the start and R removed from the end, making the martial art of KENDO.
but it may be a while before I can post a replacement
