CeciKrone is the femslash ship between Cecile and Krone from The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Cecile and Krone met each other at the Premium Farm of Grace Field they were raised in. They were childhood friends and Krone was very kind to Cecile, always being there to protect her from the boys who bullied her for her weight. The two bonded over the years until Cecile was shipped out. Two years later, when Krone joins the Sister Program, she had to deliver her embroidery project as one of the Program's activities, but couldn't find it. So she starts to panic, thinking it's over for her, that'd she be killed. However, that's when Cecile comes forward to bring Krone's missing embroidery project. If it had not been for her, Krone would've been eliminated and killed.

Later, at lunch time, the two eat their meals together and catch up on each other, after Krone recognizes Cecile as her childhood friend she thought as dead. As Cecile sternly tells her that she has to make no mistakes, to not let her guard down and all she needs to know to survive there, Krone breaks down crying, shocking Cecile. Krone explais her that she's incredibly happy that Cecile is alive and that she's happy to see her again.

During a "briefing" Grandma has, she tells the aspiring sisters that only one will able to make it as a Sister, the other ones being killed. That's when Cecile brings the idea to Krone that they should escape the Sister Program together. After the "briefing", the two girls go to their rooms where they discuss the complicated and risky escape plan, that to Krone, seems like it could work. Cecile even shows Krone a pattern on the back of an embroidery made by various Sisters from before their time, that has lays out the pattern of the headquarters, all outlined in blue thread. Krone agrees to the plan, hopeful that both Cecile and her will escape and survive together.

After setting out their escape plan, the two of them talk about their plans for the future after leaving the plantation. Krones tells Cecile all about her dreams, such as playing more sports. While Cecile, a little bit embarrassed, says she won't says hers. As Krone nags her about it, Cecile finally says that she always wanted to be like Krone. She goes on to talk about how pretty she thought Krone's hair was, and Krone says the same to Cecile about her hair. However, then she says that she not only liked her hair, but also the fact that Krone was always there to protect her. Cecile also says she felt so happy to have someone by her side. When she talks about this, there are shoujo bubbles around her, implying that she has some softer than usual feelings for Krone. And Krone is seen visibly blushing at Cecile's words.

After watching a sister attempt to escape, and killed just moments away from getting her freedom, Krone starts to have second thoughts. Cecile still instills some hope in Krone, telling her that if it's the two of them, they'll be able to escape. That day, Krone attempts to steal the watch Grandma has, planning on disabling their chips and escaping. However, when she meets Cecile at the hall, excited to tell her about the watch, she sees Grandma right behind her. Krone stays frozen is in shock seeing how Cecile betrayed her, and Cecile reveals she's the one who hid her embroidery that one time, and reminds her of something she said earlier: "Everyone's going to do something to stay alive". Krone is taken away, and is now expected to be picked by Grandma to become a mother. She is seen completely devastaded and in tears after Cecile's betrayal.

Eventually, Cecile is revealed to be getting eliminated rather than move up in her rank, due to running an operation of escapees, making the layout of headquarters, and instructing Krone to steal the watch. She is then dragged off, and killed. However, it's revealed in her final moments, that she intended to get caught all alone to let Krone live; Krone was always second when it came to scores and tests, meaning she had a good chance of becoming a mother if Cecile was eliminated. She was also planning on betraying her to make her cold-blooded, which would give her the motivation she needed to become a mother and survive. Cecile's only wish was to protect Krone, to not let her die. She says she completely trusts Krone to be able to survive. Her only regret was never witnessing a truly free sky they both could see after they escaped the farms.
