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 tand 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 tto time, then look out the
window at the Northern Europe night outside. She would occasionally purse her lips slightly, and from tto
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 it will becyour 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomething that should be worth looking forward to."
Helena smiled wryly and said seriously, "Mr. Wade, I'm not going to lie to you. In truth, | 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 to
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 | can be the queen or not is no 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 tbefore she finally bit the bullet and said, "Mr.
Wade, | think that | might not be able to fill the role of the queen. As the queen, | will have to sacrifice and
compromise many things. It is too much and... and | am not the kind of person who can be as ruthless as
Olivia..."
Charlie thought that Helena was simply nervous and so, he spoke up to comfort her, "It's naturally not so easy to
becthe 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."
Helena said softly, "Actually...
Actually, | think that since grandma is so obedient to you now, you can actually let her be the queen for a few
more years first. This way, will also have more preparation time..."
Charlie looked at her and said,
"Helena, if you truly want to have your own life, you have to seize this opportunity right now. You might
temporarily be unable to adapt to it, but this is just a transition. If you cannot even cope with this O transition,
how are you going to deal with it when you encounter an
enemy like Olivia in the future, then?"
Helena was speechless for a moment.
The reason why she was backing out at this twas because the convoy was getting closer and closer to the
airport. This meant that her separation from Charlie was also getting closer and closer. The more it was like this,
the more Helena was certain that she did not want to say goodbye to Charlie like this.
She did not want the intersection of her life and Charlie's life to end here.

It was just like two intersecting straight lines that only met once at the only point of the intersection before going
their separate ways, and then growing further and further apart.
Helena wanted the straight line of her destiny to change directions at the intersection point where she had met
Charlie. It would be best if, from this point onward, she could be tightly intertwined with
Charlie's straight line so that Charlie would have her company in his future life.
These words kept coming up several times, but she suppressed them and forced them back again every tshe
wanted to say them.
It was not that she did not dare to confess to Charlie, but she was just afraid that Charlie would reject her.
If this suspense was retained, there would at least be a glimmer of hope that she could look forward to in the
future.
Charlie did not know the real reason why she was backing out.
He looked at Helena and said
emotionally, "In truth, | was the sas you are now about a year or so ago. | was also at the lowest pointin my
life and at that time, and the Wade family suddenly approached me, wanting to givea company with a
market value of a hundred billion dollars and ten billion dollars in cash. At that time, | had also wanted to
retreat..."
