The next day, it was finally time for the coronation ceremony.
Every prince and princess woke up early and prepared their best; after all, today determined their fate for the future, either they would die or be on top of this kingdom's hierarchy today.
Even if they survived today, once they didn't win, the crown prince/princess would obviously not let them live, as there was always some chance that they could be overthrown. And who wants to take that chance?
So even if you did survive the coronation without winning, you could confidently say that even if you don't die, your life would be a living hell, most likely deported to another kingdom if you are a woman; if you are a man, then…
Sophie must have known that, as long as she survived, she would eventually be deported to another kingdom. Grey, however, could only see her as naive, especially after his investigation of the five spies and countless others.
