Here’s a crazy thought

Well if they’re willing to kill each other to succeed the throne I wouldn’t be surprised if they still did it when he’s dead

I’d imagine there’d be some out of the ten who know they had no chance so they’d form alliances.

At least I’d try to make a deal with one or two people that I would help kill the emperor who murdered our mothers in front of us and then let them be emperor and I leave or get into a decent political marriage to help the new emperor gain power.

It’s easier to kill one person more than 9. Also why not massacre everyone if you could do it in one swoop? Talk about a stupidly drawn out process

I mean if we’re talking about one of them killing the emperor that would create an open spot for one of them to take and since they’re already fighting for it while he’s alive so they’ll most likely still fight and kill each other for it when he’s dead is what I was trying to say and plus I doubt are main girl would’ve been able to massacre all of them maybe now that she has that light power but not before

I’m just under the impression not all the kiddos would have cared for the throne more than their lives. I’d imagine the ones who just wanted to live would prefer to just kill their dad and not each other
