The Third Queen (三ノ妃, San-no-Kisaki) is the third-ranked wife of the Mikado. She comes from House Yuguraku[1], but her personal name is never given. Her father is the New Yogo army's General Radou. Riyoshuna was her aunt and Karyou is her uncle.
In contrast to the First and Second Queens, at the time of the anime, the Third Queen has only daughters and no sons[2]. She is the mother of Mishuna. Her daughters are not eligible to inherit the throne, thus it becomes vital for Chagum to be recovered after Prince Sagum's death. Eventually she does give birth to a son, however: Tugum. This makes way for forces to be employed against Chagum once more; factions form in the palace, with Gakai siding with Tugum as heir and Shuga siding with Chagum. The Third Queen speaks rudely to Chagum's face and behind his back, spreading nasty rumors and attempting to turn Tugum against his brother from birth.
