Talk:Kingdom of Lugunica/@comment-87.92.46.160-20170128182911

So after finishing the anime, I noticed that one question wasn't answered (or was it?).

In the beginning of the series, there was some talk about the candidates to become the next ruler of the kingdom of Lugnica. Didn't Emilia say she was one of the 50+ candidates? So, in truth, why were there only five candidates as seen starting from ep 12? Did the other candidates die? Were they unwilling to become the next ruler? Thanks.
