The Northern European royal family sped along the highway late at night.
The Concorde was already ready for take-off and could take off as soon as Charlie arrived at the airport.
At this moment, it was one o'clock in the morning in Northern Europe time and seven o'clock in the morning in Eastcliff timing.
If things went smoothly, Charlie would arrive in Eastcliff at noon Eastcliff timing. After landing, he would head right up to Mount Wintry first to deal with those members of the Wade family's collateral family who had fled.
Helena was sitting beside Charlie in the car.
At this time, Helena was feeling entangled. She would look at Charlie from time to time, then look out the window at the Northern Europe night outside. She would occasionally purse her lips slightly, and from time to time, she could not help but bite her lower lip with her white teeth.
She hesitated again and again before she finally spoke up, "Mr. Wade, in truth, compared to Oskia, Northern Europe is really too small. The population is not even a third of the city of Eastcliff..."
Charlie laughed and said, "It's really a little small, but i t will become your kingdom soon. You're still very
young, and you have at least fifty years of reign in the future. Many things can be done in fifty years. It is still something that should be worth looking forward t o."
Helena smiled wryly and said seriously, "Mr. Wade, I'm not going to lie to you. In truth, I do not have any interest in the throne..."
After saying that, she looked at Charlie with flushed red eyes and said, "Mr. Wade, my greatest hope is not t o inherit the throne but instead, it is to give my mother a stable life. You have already exiled Olivia overseas, and my mother’s safety is already guaranteed. So, whether I can be the queen or not is n o longer important to me anymore..."
Charlie was slightly surprised, and he asked her," You're going to inherit the throne in three days, so why are you suddenly backing out at this time?"
Helena pursed her lips and paused awkwardly for a long time before she finally bit the bullet and said, "M r. Wade, I think that I might not be able to fill the role o f the queen. As the queen, I will have to sacrifice and compromise many things. It is too much and... and I a m not the kind of person who can be as ruthless as Olivia..."
Charlie thought that Helena was simply nervous and s o, he spoke up to comfort her, "It’s naturally not so easy to become the queen, but it is also not as difficult as you think it is. After all, your symbolic significance to Northern Europe is actually far greater than your actual rule. There are not many decisions that you will have to make. So, even if you do not do so well, it will not affect the actual development of Northern Europe."
