I am still rather confused regarding who holds/held the true power in wonderland, the two ruling parties being the Playing cards Queen of hearts and The Chessboard Red monarchy.

Now of course they could have ruled over seperate areas, but when the Red King presented Ana as his Queen, he spoke to the 'people of wonderland', and the Red Queen later greatly implied, if not outright stated that Wonderland was hers, Does that maze garden lead to both Palaces? and did Cora ever actually have any real power? im sure it's been mentioned that she took over wonderland which would imply she became the highest authority, though the Red king diddn't seem to like her, though did not Question her power.

Is it that Cora is the Sole holder of 'Queen of hearts' and she herself built the palace, or was their a previous Queenof hearts? Judging by the crown jewlels, it seems plausible that the Red monarchy had been thier for some time and it seems more sociable with the people.

Not sure where I'm going with this, but I would like to hear ideas on how the power in wonderland worked.
