When Helena heard her grandmother’s question, she was instantly stunned.
Before the shyness that she felt in her heart could make her blush, she was immediately crushed by her sadness.
Helena originally wanted to instinctively deny it, but for some reason, she suddenly felt a deeply unpleasant feeling in her heart. So, she sighed softly and said quietly, "So what if I miss him? Ever since I ascended the throne, my identity has become extremely sensitive. I can no longer make my own decisions on where I want to go, who I want to meet, what I want to say, and what I want to do. I dream of going to Oskia to see him, but I know that I will not be able to bypass the diplomatic channel to go to Oskia now. He will not be coming to Northern Europe anytime soon, either. I’m afraid that I will not even be able to see his face in the future..."
As Helena spoke of this, tears suddenly filled her eyes and even overflowed out of the corners of her eyes.
She hurriedly turned her head, quietly wiped her tears, and then said again, "Grandma, to be honest with you, the reason why I wanted to be the Queen was because I wanted to save my mother and also because I wanted to take revenge on Olivia. Now that my mother is safe and sound and since Olivia has also
received the punishment she deserves, the position as the Queen no longer holds any meaning to me anymore..."
The old queen said sternly, "You should not think of such nonsense! The royal family does not have any more direct blood heirs to the throne! You cannot abdicate the throne even if you want to!"
Helena looked at the old queen again and subconsciously asked, "Grandma, do you still want to b e the queen again?"
The old queen waved her hand immediately and said," No! I don't want to! Besides, there is no such thing in this world. A queen who has obviously abdicated the throne only to be enthroned again... If that were to truly happen, the royal family would also be embarrassed!"
Helena sighed and said sadly, "When will there be a suitable heir to the throne, then?"
"Alright, alright...” The old queen pressed her temple a s she sighed and said, "I think that you should be realistic. We will find a match for you of similar age amongst the royal families of other countries starting next year."
"No.” Helena refused flatly without even thinking about it. "I will not get married unless I'm getting married to Charlie."
The old queen questioned her in return, "Charlie has already been married since long ago, and you also said it yourself that he has more confidants that you can count, all who have known him longer than you. This i s the same as a royal succession. Even if Charlie were t o get divorced, you're not the first in the line of succession, and you might even be ranked outside the tenth. In this case, if you insist on getting married to him, aren't you simply making it clear that you will be single for the rest of your life?"
Helena said seriously, "I'm fine with being single for the rest of my life. It would be better than marrying someone I did not love and giving birth to a child for someone I have no feelings for."
