@Koni Depends. Another thought that occurred to me is that it could be an alternate take on the Minor Arcana, as there's a queen and knight card, with Italian decks adding in the maid (as in maiden or female virgin, which a princess would be expected to remain). It'd make sense, as the Demon King Candidates take from the Major Aracna and their subordinates are called "cards". If that's the case, other options for face cards are just the page, mounted lady, and the knave and jack, if the author wants them to be their own thing (some decks use them in place of the page and knight, respectively), though it's entirely possible that plain old number cards could show up with larger groups.
