Pawn's Entanglement With The Queen, One Amongst Several.
There's hierarchy within families of every strata. An undeniable heir, the offsprings who have to share, and the fruits equally or disproportionately wanted by the branches of new family trees that are made from the roots of the original.
Bloody ties of misfortune, not red strings of fate, bind some, like puppets, to each other. People can be buried, the same can't be said of their pasts.

And that can be done only when it's revealed...
How much darkness, the light is hiding.
