Chapter 1826: No successor

Hearing her grandmother's question, Helena was stunned for a moment.

The inner shyness hadn't had time to make her blush before it was immediately crushed by that wave of sorrow.

Originally, Helena instinctively wanted to deny it.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt a need to vent deep in her heart, so she sighed lightly and said gloomily: "What's the use of missing him? Since my ascension, my status has become extremely sensitive. Where I go, who I see, what I say, and what I do are no longer things I can decide myself. I dream of going to China to see him, but I have no way to bypass diplomatic channels to go to China now, and he won't come to the Nordic region again in the short term. I'm afraid I won't even be able to see his face in the future..."

Speaking of this, Helena's eye sockets were already filled with tears, which even spilled from the corners of her eyes.

She hurriedly turned her head and quietly wiped away the tears before saying again: "Grandma, to tell you the truth, the biggest reason I wanted to be Queen was to save my mother, and secondly, to take revenge on Olivia. Now that my mother is safe and sound, and Olivia has received the punishment she deserved, this position of Queen has no meaning to me anymore..."

The old Queen said repeatedly: "You must not have wild thoughts! The royal family now has no direct bloodline successor to the throne! It's impossible for you to abdicate!"

Helena looked at the old Queen and asked subconsciously: "Grandma, do you want to be Queen again?"

The old Queen immediately waved her hand and said: "No! I don't! Besides, there's no such thing in the whole world. If one were to abdicate and then ascend the throne again, if that were really the case, the royal family would have no face left..."

Helena sighed and said sorrowfully: "Then when will there be a suitable successor to the throne?"

The old Queen said embarrassedly: "That depends on you... Our Nordic royal family was never prosperous in terms of people. You don't even have a first successor to the throne now. If you abdicate, then I can only go to other countries' royal families to borrow a successor..."

As she spoke, the old Queen warned with a serious face: "Helena, if you want to get rid of the shackles of the throne early, the best way is to have a child quickly and then establish him as the crown prince. After he comes of age, you can abdicate."

"I..." Helena's expression was like a wronged little wife, and she said resentfully: "If Ye Chen is willing, I am willing to have a son for him. When the time comes, he will be raised in the palace, and after he comes of age, he will inherit the throne!"

The old Queen's expression froze for a moment, then she covered her forehead and sighed: "You... you've gone crazy... If you have a child out of wedlock, how will the royal family explain it to the people of the whole country?"

Helena said seriously: "What's the problem with that? As long as Ye Chen is truly willing, when I get pregnant, I will personally explain it to the people. I will honestly tell everyone that I am willing to have a child for the man I love. This is my freedom, and no one has the right to interfere."

Speaking of this, she sighed melancholically: "The only thing I'm afraid of in this matter is that Ye Chen won't agree. If he agrees, so what if I'm ridiculed by the whole world? I don't care at all."

"Alright, alright..." The old Queen pressed her temples while sighing: "I think it's better to be realistic. Starting next year, I will look for a marriage partner of similar age for you among the royal families of various countries."

"No." Helena refused decisively without hesitation: "I won't get married, unless I marry Ye Chen."

The old Queen asked her back: "Ye Chen has long been married, and you yourself have said that his confidantes are too many to count, and each of them has known him longer than you. This is the same as the royal succession order. Even if he gets divorced, you are not the first successor. If things go wrong, you might even be ranked outside the top ten. If you insist on not marrying anyone but him in this situation, isn't that clearly wanting to be single for a lifetime?"

Helena said seriously: "Being single for a lifetime is nothing. It's much better than marrying someone I don't love and having children for someone I don't love."

The old Queen said with a face full of sorrow: "If you don't get married, when I die, the entire Nordic royal family will be left with only you! Have you ever seen such a miserable royal family..."

Helena said seriously: "Grandma, if the royal family has no suitable successor, then the Nordic region can completely abolish the royal family after I die and change from a constitutional monarchy to a presidential republic. As for us, we can just take care of ourselves. Why worry too much about the aftermath?"

The old Queen sighed long and said: "If the royal family is forced to be abolished because there is no successor, then I would rather you have a child out of wedlock and have a child with Ye Chen!"

Helena smiled and said: "Look, Grandma, we have finally reached a consensus on this issue."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The old Queen seemed to have given up resistance and said gloomily: "Everything you say is right. The problem now is, how can you get pregnant with Ye Chen's child? If you get pregnant, and then give birth to a Eurasian mixed-race child, the royal bloodline will be damaged by half. How will you explain it to the people?"

Helena said seriously: "How to get pregnant, we must first have a chance to see Ye Chen. As for the things later, we have to wait until I'm pregnant."

"Hey!" The old Queen sighed: "I don't care anymore... You can handle it yourself..."

After finishing, thinking of the auction, she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "If only I could have the opportunity to participate in the Rejuvenation Pill auction, and by the way, help you ask Ye Chen when he has time to come to the Nordic region..."

Helena shook her head helplessly and was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

She looked down and saw that it was Ye Chen calling, so she immediately said excitedly: "Ye Chen called me!"

"Really?" The old Queen was also a bit excited and hurriedly asked: "Can you talk to him about the auction?"

Helena replied casually: "I'll see what he wants with me first."

As she spoke, she stood up and walked to the window while pressing the answer button.

She didn't really want her grandmother to hear the content of her conversation with Ye Chen, so she avoided her a little.

After she answered the phone, she suppressed the excitement deep in her heart and asked softly: "Master Ye, why did you suddenly call me?"

Ye Chen smiled casually: "Oh, it's nothing, just saw the registration information for the Rejuvenation Pill auction and found that the Nordic royal family also signed up, so I called to tell you."

Helena hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Master Ye, the registration was handled by my grandmother. She didn't discuss it with me beforehand."

Ye Chen smiled: "It's okay. I called mainly to tell you that according to the normal approval process, the Nordic royal family's asset amount didn't reach the top two hundred."

"Yes..." Helena said somewhat embarrassedly: "The Nordic royal family's financial strength is not strong. It's estimated that it just met the minimum threshold for registration. It's definitely impossible to enter the top two hundred."

Ye Chen gave a hum and said: "It doesn't matter if you can't enter the top two hundred. I have reserved a few VIP seats at the venue, and I will save one for your grandmother when the time comes. I will have someone mail the invitation to the palace, so let your grandmother pay attention to checking it." ===== CHAPTER 1827 =====
