I just thought of a possible "sacrifice"

Obviously, people want to believe that Rose killed the queen just because they need a scapegoat. What if she can't get out of it? I was thinking, what if Dimitri says he did it just to get her off the hook? It wouldn't be that hard to convince people because they are all wary of the changed-back strigoi anyway. Also, maybe Dimitri would feel that he should sacrifice himself because of all the stuff that he did to Rose when he was Strigoi.

What do you guys think?

That would a very Dimitri thing to do. If he does that he and Rose will be back in the same situation. Not together and I just don't want to see that happen.

Neither do I. I want them to be together too. But, with the title and all, I dont know. It does sound like something he would do, especially for Rose.

I can see that happening but you have to remeber that Dimitri was being watched my gaurdians. If he had escape, the gaurdians would have known, and he would more than likely be behind bars not Rose.

But I've been thinking. What if Victor found a way into the Court and be undetected. He could be setting Rose up while he is trying to accomplish his evil plan, which I think is to throw the Moroi world into chaos and then take the throne and bring change. I'm thinking it might be him because Rose dropped her Stake back in Las Vegas when Dimitri attacked. So what was preventing Victor from wrapping his shirt around his hand and picking up her stake?

Or I was thinking Ambrose. He was suppose to talk to the Queen about the age decree. What if he got so mad that he lashed out at the Queen?

omg! all those possiblities are possible and somthing dimitri would do i hope he doesnt tho then they could'nt be together would suck i think it was victor but idk...

Im not saying Dimitri did it, I know that he didnt, but I thought he would lie and say he did for Rose's sake.
I dont think Victor did it. I think that would be too obvious. Plus, the queen has a lot of guardians. I know he couldve used compulsion to get past, but isnt it true that compulsion cant be used on more than one person?
I think it was Nathan Ivashkov. The guards wouldve let him in to see the queen. He never really liked her. I think he resents the fact that she likes Adrian more. Plus, he doesnt like Rose either, so that would explain him setting her up.

hmm that is true so many possibilties im glad the queen is gone but at the same time not...i wonder who will be be the king/ queen now.

I really want Lissa to be, but that seems a little unrealistic. The other council members will probably think she's too young. She would do a great job though.

I think someone tatiana trusted did it. who else could get that close to her without someone noticing. I'm suspecting Nathan Ivashkov.

I think that Adrian is gonna have to be killed off. Maybe Dimitri will lose his control and lash out. He's obviously lying to rose about his feelings because he wouldn't sacrifice spending time with her unless he felt he needed too. Or maybe Lissi will do something crazy with her spirit. Is it possible that one of the spirit users went crazy at Tatiana(?) when they were with her and attacked her. But that doesn't exactly explain the stake. Maybe there's a group of guardians plotting against her.
AND i think that maybe since Rose is shadow-kissed, she can't die. Or has to die a certain way, like naturally or maybe since she came back she has to be killed by Moroi magic or by spirit because that's what bound her and that's what has to set her free. Maybe only the person who bound her can set her free unless she becomes Strigoi. It was assumed that shadow-kissed Anna committed suicide, but maybe she had Vladimir set her free or something.
And what about Dimitri's family? They think he died the death of a hero, not became a strigoi. someone has to tell them that he's alive. I type alot lol

I think one of the Ivashkov want to the next king\queen.
It could be Nathan dealing with 2 problems simultaneously.
He doesn't like Rose and he wants power.

But another Ivashkov won't necessarily be the next King/Queen...they don't always pick from the same family. If it was someone wanting to be king or queen they're taking a massive gamble for their own family being pick. I guess if they're that desperate they won't stop at killing the next king/queen until the person they want on the throne is there...but then that'd be slightly obvious if all the new monarchs got killed too.

Emliz: Didn't Robert's shadow-kissed person/guardian get killed? That's why he sort of went crazy? And Anna, Vladimir's bond, killed herself. So I don't think they have to die in certain ways.

And I don't think they'd accept Dimitri's confession if he ever confessed. Because of the Guardian's always around him, even if he said he did it then they'd be able to testify that he didn't. Though it might make them question why he wanted to save Rose that way, maybe it'd make their relationship more public?

I wonder how they'll go about trying to find Lissa's sibling. She obviously can't get on the Council without him/her, so her chances of being Queen would be seriously limited without family. I've been wonderind though. For Lissa's sibling to be included as a Dragomir, does that mean Eric Dragomir's affair was with another Royal Moroi so that the bloodlines weren't washed out? Or does it just count because Eric was male? Christian and Lissa had worked out if they ever had kids there'd be enough Dragomir blood to make the kids Dragomirs too, so I guess it'd make sense. Except Victor's in the same position, sort of. Robert was illegitimate but he didn't get the Dashkov name, or maybe his mother didn't have the right bloodline. Also, would Victor already know about this child? He seemed very close to Lissa's family, so is this the sort of thing Eric would have already told him?

An Ivashkov can't be the next monarch. I think it was stated in one of the first books. The next ruler can't be from the same royal family as the previous one. I guess its still possible that Lissa could be queen. It seems unlikely given her age. But if you think about, throughout the whole series there have been hints that she will be queen. Her future in Shadow Kiss said that she would be a great leader. I just have a hard time believing the council would appoint someone so young. Well, I guess its a moot point now anyway until they find the other Dragomir so Lissa can even be in consideration for queen. By the way, I think lissa's sibling is a spirit user in the prison Victor was in...

Yeah even tho lissa is you g I think she could do it I'm so curious to find out who her sibling is!!
