The queen loves her drones but still longs for someone to take place as a form of "king" by her side to help manage the hive.

I actually have several such offers in Papi’s inbox.  The way I see it though, is that Changelings operate under a matriarchy like many hive insects.  A king is completely unnecessary, and actually unwanted.  That doesn’t mean that Papi doesn’t or won’t end up having someone that she ends up loving more than, or in a more intimate way than the other drones, but time will tell on that.
