Mesmira's Role in Conan the Adventurer

One of the most confusing roles of Conan the Adventurer was namely Queen Mesmira who is called to be the Queen of Stygia.  If she is the Queen of Stygia, then why is she serving the high priest Wrath-Amon unwillingly?  So her, here seems to be the theory provided that the writers of Conan the Adventurer had ported this plot from Robert E. Howard's version of Stygia into the show considering that much of Conan the Adventurer pays tribute to the violent novels:

Robert E. Howard's Stygia:

Stygia was a theocracy controlled by the priests of Set, the Serpent-God. The administrative capital and seat of the king was Luxur, lying inland and south of the Styx on an important caravan route. We may presume that when the climate was wetter, the River Bakhr was navigable up to Luxur. In Conan's time it was not. The greatest port and religious center was at Khemi, on the estuary of the Styx. Sukhmet and Kheshatta were apparently caravan cities that serviced traders from the black nations. From the coast, it was possible to take a caravan trail all the way to Sukhmet and presumably beyond.

So in a sense, Wrath-Amon since he is the high priest of Set the chief god of Stygia while Mesmira is the Queen of Stygia, so Mesmira is merely symbolic while Wrath-Amon the high priest of Set is the actual ruler.  Also what's creepy is that why Mesmira of noble birth would lust after Conan a barbarian, she might be a horny queen of sorts lusting over Conan's manly beauty.

Apparent inspiration:

Apparently Mesmira didn't come from the line of Robert E. Howard novels but rather from the Conan the Destroyer villain Queen Taramis (in the novels, Taramis was the name a good queen with an evil sister named Salome so don't confuse them) who sought to revive the demon god Dagoth.  Taramis was queen of Shadizar and Mesmira was queen of  Stygia.
