Queen or not, Cinder is in charge of Mercury and Emerald. Pawns have value but once they use that up  they become disposable. Mercury and Emerald are safe for now but you just know that sooner or later Cinder is the type who would cut ties with one or both of them if they became a liability.

Between these two who do you think is the one that Cinder cares for  whether it's genuine (it would make Cinder more human if she had someone she actually cared for) or to be used as a tool? What does she see in Mercury or Emerald? Why are Mercury and Emerald loyal to her? What would make one them become a liabilty for Cinder?

Also, in order to make Mercury and Emerald have more depth, what would make them betray Cinder if it came down it besides being left for dead? Could it be possible for them to have their own set of standards when it comes to commiting evil deeds? For all we know maybe Emerald has a soft spot for little kids and doesn't want to put them in direct danger if she can control it. Maybe Mercury loves Cinder and will kick you to a pulp if you try hurt her. Of course these are just example so feel free to use you imagination.
