The Mother Queen of the Anthill is no ordinary insect – and certainly no ordinary ruler. She is the founder of Antazonia, its ideological inspiration and spiritual guide, a mother not just in name but in spirit. She embodies something far more complex and painful than tyranny: she is the believer, the visionary who builds a system in the hope of uplifting her people – only to witness that system become a nightmare.

At first, she is everywhere and nowhere. Her presence dominates the anthill through her nightly speeches – projected on giant screens, filled with pathos and fanatical conviction. She urges her children to give everything for the homeland. Her voice is passionate, resolute, and – most importantly – sincere. She believes.

But when Anne and Pouchy reach her inner chambers, they encounter a different Queen: isolated and quiet in her despair. Their meeting stirs doubt in her. When, after speaking with General Antolini, she realizes the scale of his abuses, it is not a political blow – it is a personal catastrophe. Her utopia has become a prison.

And then the illusion collapses. With the help of Anne and Ben, the Queen delivers her final speech – not a call for labor, but a cry for truth. She pays for it with her life. But it is already too late. The ants rise in revolt.

Her role is not to rule, but to believe – and to lose everything when that belief is betrayed.

– Crown = power born of idealism, not tyranny

– Screens = distortion of truth through media power

– Throne = isolation at the heart of propaganda

– Voice = faith turned into a weapon – and finally released

– Death = martyr’s deliverance, the price of truth

There are good reasons for this, Antolini. Lately, more and more rumors have reached my ears – that out there, things are going too far with... discipline. Lately, even children are being hunted like criminals, if what I hear is true.

It’s true that I believed – and still believe – in everything we once repeated like a prayer, my son. But tell me, what is the connection between our former ideals and what’s happening out there now? What kind of freedom will we speak of to children who receive beatings instead of knowledge at school? To workers who live in ignorance? To engineers who tremble with fear at every foreigner, because he might be a spy or a terrorist?

But this... this is... madness. Not even the greatest goal can justify a single tear from a child. Is that really so hard to understand?

Tearful words! Do I speak tearful words – I, who for years sent my best sons to their deaths in countless wars! And all in the name of the future and progress, in the name of that ant strength and will which you now so proudly wave above your head! Antazonia above all! Antazonia above all! How many times I have repeated those words, blind with pride and foolishness! How many times!
