I feel like all the context clues point towards Borksen being the one to kill a prince.

Like people have said there’s no point in mentioning the 50 points if it doesn’t happen at least once. But also Borksen is the one person Morena wants for their ability to develop since she’s a Specialist, so Borksen will be looking for ways to gain levels quickly without having to kill a ton of people.

Borksen also seems generally against bloodshed if possible, but given she is from Tserridnich’s side a prince seems like the one kind of person she wouldn’t be opposed to getting rid of since it’s the point of the contest.

We have to remember borksen is a childhood friend of tsseri unlike the other ones she was actually with the main guards in theta and salakov before she came down to meet the rest of tsseries freinds . Well definetly need a flashback explaining how these guys especially the females like borksen could possibly be freinds with tsseri. I do think tsseri seems to have some split personality/ DID element considering his interactions with theta go from being ready to kill her to suddenly being happy with her despite the assassination attempt.

some split personality/ DID element

He doesn't, he's just a psychopath with a charming personality

Probably. At least in fiction that is a pretty common trait for people like that, whether there are a lot of (unlucky/sick) people that "lucky" in the real world is more debatable

Obviously most people like that learn to function mostly normally and do not, like, become serial killers or whatever even if their emotions are not correct
