"Three reasons," she said, giving that Rose smile of 'yes, I know this is an insane plan.' "One is that it'll take longer to hold the trials with more people participating which gives me more time to find the second reason - I think she has a half-sibling out there. And half-Dragomir is enough to qualify as 'family' so if I can find the kid, she could be Queen." Rose shrugged. "And three - the people adore her. They look at her like she's a saint or something, and seeing her participate makes them all - the common Moroi and the dhampirs and the lesser royals feel like they could actually have a say in anything."
