Finished but confused with parsing of 26 ac

' overthrow ended. with detention of the confused king.'

I have it as anagram of 'drone' and 'the' but is 'drone' a king? Or more likely am I missing something more obvious!

ended = done , then anagram of the inside

dethrone= overthrow (def)
done- ended
r -king
+ anagram of "the"

sorry ... need R ( king) too

No, it's DONE (ended) with R for king

I can't parse two
24 Depth in error, not fine for mature person
I have ADULT

2od Comrade, loud and clear, capturing hearts of fiery romantics
I have FRIEND

24 d in (f)ault - adult

Doh! Thanks Elle and Kirky......

20d f - loud
rid - clear
hearts of fIEry romaNtics

error - (f)ault
depth - d
D in AULT


loud - F
clear - RID
hearts of fiery and romantic are the letters E and N

F = loud, Rid + clear and the E and N are the middle letters/hearts of 'fiery' and 'romantics'.
