Red River, Volume 17 Book

Nakia this, Nakia that . . . For a single character to cause so much drama, they sure haven't fleshed out her motivations in the past 17 volumes. All we know is that she wants to put her son on the throne for whatever reason, but that wouldn't even secure her a higher position. She's already the highest position for a woman in the land, Tawannana, second only to the king. And the wife of the king does not automatically take that position, as the last king (who was killed by Nakia a few volumes ago) had a wife and never was there any talk of her becoming Tawannana in place of Nakia. So why does Nakia do so much? What really is the goal? Like, demonic possession would make more sense than this. And really, it's holding the whole series back.
