I speculate two things for the future:

1. Simon is not going to get Estevan's shard, we've already been teased with the possibility of another IK beating Simon to the punch and taking the shard, and now we also need to add the possibility that Ginasta would get the chance to destroy it, and the possibility that Ginasta is being manipulated somehow, perphaps the power she got that she thinks will destroy a shard would simply transport it to some place in the Tower, giving it to her manipulator. I say this because from a gameplay perspective, Simon getting another shard wouldn't make much sense, he hasn't even finished absorbing the one he got from the Incubus Emperor, we would need yet another big time skip before it starts having any effect. Also things would get a bit dull at that point, according to the Empress, Simon would already be able to dominate her, and so it would be easy to assume no other IK would be able to challenge Simon head-on, and that'd be too easy.

2. The Lustlord IK will get another shard, while he isn't weak by any means, he isn't regarded by many as a real threat either, according to the Empress he was basically the Skullcrusher of that generation before the world destroying entity attacked, none of his actions in the tower have concerned the Anak so far, and he doesn't seem like the type that would be able to completely outsmart and deceive those two for so many years. So if he's going to be any kind of villain he will need a raw increase in power, hence, another shard. It's possible that he would get Estevan's shard, but I'm leaning more towards him getting the one from the Lord of Blood if he ends up being a victim to the new world destroying entity.
