Royal Linkage

My father always said I was destined for great things, not because I was born rich or into a noble family, but because I was an exceptional chess player and he believed that it is women with a mind like mine that runs every kingdom.

From behind the throne, behind the fancy gowns and great speeches, behind the men who think they have all the power, behind the curtains and the balls, there is a woman pulling every string, moving every piece on the board.

The true queen.

The silent queen.

She need no crown and will never see the limelight, no one will know her name and no one shall sing around bonfires reminiscing her greatness, history will never remember these women, but they are there and all wise men know it.
