When Helena had been born, her father was twenty-five years old, and her grandmother, the Queen of Northern Europe, was sixty years old. 3 At that time, Helena's father was the Crown Prince and the first in line to succeed the throne. She was naturally established as the second in line to the throne.
Later, when Helena's father had discovered Helena's congenital disease, he had not told the royal family about it so that Helena would be able to inherit the throne someday in the future. He had privately sought out the best doctor for Helena and used the best methods for Helena's treatment as he strived to ensure that Helena could live longer.
Helena's father believed that although his chances of inheriting the throne were slim, as long as he could conceal Helena's birth defect and do everything that he could to keep Helena alive until she was twenty-five years old, she would have the opportunity to inherit the throne before she died.
This was because there was only a thirty-year-age difference between him and Helena's grandmother, but there was a sixty-year-age gap between Helena and her grandmother.
Under any normal circumstances, the current queen would usually live up to their eighties.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf Helena could live to be twenty-five years old, her grandmother would already be eighty-five years old at that time.
As long as Helena could last until her grandmother died, she would be able to ascend to the throne successfully. As a member of the royal family, the only pinnacle of life was to inherit the throne.
Therefore, in Helena's father's opinion, as long as Helena could ascend to the throne, even if she were to only be queen for one year or even just one month, her life could be considered complete, then.
Helena's physical condition could be hidden very well in the first ten years of her life. However, when Helena's father had died, Helena was so sad that she had suddenly suffered a heart attack at his funeral due to excessive sadness. She was also sent to the hospital for emergency treatment before they could avoid any danger. 3 As the current Queen of Northern Europe, Helena's grandmother realized that she had been deceived. So, she had decided to strip Helena of the right of succession to the throne and establish Helena's uncle's daughter, who was Helena's cousin, as the first heir to the throne instead.
Helena, who had lost her father as well as her inheritance rights and qualifications, was infinitely marginalized in the internal courts of the royal family.
Even though she was seriously ill, Helena could not escape the fate of being used in exchange for the royal family's benefit. She was forced to have a marriage alliance with the Wade family.
Even though the royal doctors also concluded that Helena would have only three to five years to live at most, the royal family was still unwilling to grant her freedom.
In the royal family's view, three to five years were more than enough. They intended to make good use of these three to five years to try and gain sresources and financial support from the Wade family, which would definitely benefit them a Pot.
The reason why Helena had agreed to all this was also because the royal family was using her mother's future life during her old age to threaten her.
If Helena did not agree to this, her mother would be expelled from the royal family and lose all royal treatment after Helena's death. This would mean that her mother would not even have a pension in the future.
Helena did not want her mother to be sad and lonely with no one to rely on after her death. Therefore, Helena was completely helpless and forced to agree to the marriage.
During this recent period of time, Helena felt as if she had been treading on thin ice.

In that case, she would not even have the opportunity to properly accompany and spend stwith her mother again before she died.
When she thought about this, Helena could not help but shed two lines of tears.
She was all alone in a foreign country, and this feeling of having her fate manipulated without being able to put up any resistance in spite of oneself was truly painful.
At the stime, Helena could not help but think of Charlie.
So, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart as she thought, 'Could it be that Charlie Wade could really tell that I'm ill?' 'I've heard others mentioning that Oskian medicine has the saying 'observation, auscultation,
interrogation, and feeling the pulse Moreover, it seems as though they can diagnose a person's physical condition simply by looking at the person. Could it be that Charlie Wade is skind of Oskian medicine expert?'
As she thought about this, Helen couldn't help but sigh deep in her heart as she thought, 'Sigh. So, what if he is truly an Oskian medicinem expert? Even if he could diagnose my illness; it would not be possible for him to be able to cure me."2 'I've been diagnosed with this illness ever since I was born, and even after more than twenty years, all the doctors all over the world can see what I am suffering from, but they do not have a way to cure it...'
