Hello there,
I think i glitched the game.
I have had the queen captured, but then spent the night doing a sleepover cause i couldn't get to bed cause the game wanted me to talk to the queen who i couldn't find. Yeah i know, i found her later on, but back on the topic.
So i found the crown, showed it to Gwen she told me about a veil something castle's throneroom to get a scepter. I learned from forums that this castle would be "the keep". But i can't go there cause they don't like goblins. Have to wait for the princess to take over. Problem is the princess gloats about being queen, but doesn't do shit.
I suspect that by not talking to the dethroned queen when prompted i missed an event and now the queen only tells me she wants to be released.
I know there is an other ending, potentially the main ending, with the princess being queen and the tieves going on adventures. But i'd rather like my character being king with mystical powers and a harem than thief with... an accomplice?
