As Summary. Cora was a power hungry Tyrant, after using her daughter to gain power in the enchanted forest, the daughter (regina) pushed her through the looking glass before Cora could grip any real power. She landed in Womderland, and using her dark powers quickly gained the fear of the people, and she styled herself a Queen, due to her hobby of heart collecting, the Queen of hearts and built herself a palace and raised an army of soldiers to be her styled knights or whatever who were likely mercanaries, convicts and disgraced royal militia, who served her out of fear and the fact it got them money.

She was not ever really in control of anything, the people of wonderlands affections and loyalty where to Wonderlands true Rulers, the Red monarchy, who likely goverened and had true control, Cora was more a powerful tyrant who forced her ideals and self fantasy of royalty onto wonderland why ceremonial pomp, even creating ranks such as knave, holding a truce with the Red King, although he never seemed to like her and she seemed to have a similar position as her daughter did, in that, she had power through fear yet the people likely did not like her, difference being Regina had a right to rule, Cora had none, and likely used influence over The Red Queen in hopes of someday gaining more true power, although the people seemed to like Ana more than regina.

So with Cora gone, I'm assuming that her palace will just remain, unless the monarchy learn of Cora's death after which, they will likely have it removed and her armies will likely scatter.

This make sense??
