Chapter 100 The Second Elimination Ceremony

• I continued to hold Susie’s hand as we were led into the staged area for the ceremony. The 14 of us that were left were lined up into three rows.
• Camera crews were setting up in front of us. On the other side, three small stages were arranged side by side, each with their own set of stairs. A throne was arranged at the far end of the room for the King and Queen.
• Sometime after we arrived, the royal family came in together. I tried to catch Julian’s eye, but he wouldn’t look at me. He didn’t look at any of the candidates. His typical bored façade was in place.
