be chose they hold trails, to see who is better physically and mentally fit. In the book it’s going to be the kings last transfer, when he dies one of his daughters will take over for him. To decide if one of the daughters should rule she’s placed in charge of choosing who’s the fittest to die because her dad thinks she’s to overrun by her emotions. However, her childhood crush joins the competition in order to try and save his sister (she can no longer eat the nutrition pills because the daughter had been giving her bits of real food, she was one of the people they made pills from) but in the end he ends up being the most fit, even though the girl tried to rig it so he would loose. So at the end when the power transfer is happening she decided to flip the switch on her father instead of the boy she loves. It’s revealed that’s what they wanted her to do because her father wouldn’t have survived another transfer anyways and she becomes the queen.
