Chapter: 3830

Although Helena felt gratitude towards Leaf Chen like no one else, she also had her own proud bones and didn't want her grandma to appear like an old beggar in front of Leaf Chen, which would only make him look down on them.

Therefore, she gently counseled: "Grandma, this time's auction has very high standards, our Northern European royal family doesn't have the means to keep up, it will only show that we're overestimating ourselves. It's better to keep a low profile..."

As she was speaking, Helena added: "Currently, Mr. Leaf's niece is representing the Leaf family and actively developing cooperation with the royal family, which is also a great opportunity for the royal family. Our current energy should be used to properly cooperate with the Leaf family, as for the auction of Spring Revival, I think it's okay to skip it for now."

The old queen thought of saying something, but after thinking about it, she still swallowed her words and went back.

Regardless of what Helena said, her longing for Spring Revival deep within couldn't be erased.

However, every word Helena spoke was real, making her unable to refute, so she could only accept it silently.

At this moment, she saw the pair of beautiful eyes that were filled with worry in Helena's gaze, and couldn't help but ask: "Helena, are you not thinking about Leaf Chen?"

But she didn't know how, suddenly a feeling that couldn't be suppressed emerged deep within her, so she let out a soft sigh and whispered: "What's the point of thinking about him? After I ascended to the throne, my identity became extremely sensitive. Where I go, who I see, what I say, and what I do are no longer under my own control. I even dream of going back to Hua Xia to see him, but now it's impossible for me to bypass diplomatic channels. He won't come to North Europe again anytime soon, and after that, I'm afraid I'll never get to see his face again……"

As she said this, Helena's eyes were already brimming with tears, which had even started to trickle out from the corner of her eye.

She hastily turned away, quickly wiping away her tears before speaking up again: "Grandma, let me tell you something. The reason I want to be an empress is not just to save my mom, but also to take revenge on Oliviea. Now that Mom is safe and sound, Oliviea has received the punishment she deserved. At this point, being an empress means nothing to me……"

The old empress repeated several times: "Don't be silly! The royal family no longer has a direct-bloodline heir apparent! You can't even think about abdicating!"

Helena looked at the old empress, unconsciously asking: "Grandma, do you want to ascend to the throne again?"

The old empress immediately waved her hand and said: "No! I don't want to! Moreover, there's no such thing in this world. If it were true, the royal family would lose face……"

Helena sighed deeply, still troubled and worried, saying: "When will we finally have a suitable heir apparent?"

The old empress looked embarrassed and said: "This depends on you... The North European royal family has never been robust, and you don't even have a first-rate heir apparent. If you abdicate, I can only go to another country's royal family to borrow an heir apparent……"

As she spoke, the old empress solemnly admonished: "Helena, if you want to get rid of the constraints of being an empress as soon as possible, the best way is to have a child quickly and then make him the crown prince. Then, when he comes of age, you can abdicate."

I......" Helena's expression was like that of a sulky daughter-in-law, whispering: "If Leaf Chen agrees, I'm willing to give birth to a son for him. When the time comes, I'll raise him in the palace and let him inherit the throne when he grows up."

The old empress's expression was frozen, and she covered her forehead, wincing in dismay. "You... you must be out of your mind! If you're going to have a child before marriage, how can the royal family explain this to the entire nation?"

Helena said seriously, "What's wrong with that? As long as Leaf Chen is willing, I'll get pregnant and tell everyone about it myself. I'll be honest with everyone, and I'm willing to give birth to a child for my loved one - that's my freedom, no one has the right to interfere."

She sighed mournfully, "The only thing I fear is that Leaf Chen won't agree. Even if he does, even if the whole world laughs at me, I just don't care."

"Alright, alright..." The old empress pressed her temples and lamented, "I think we should be more realistic. Starting next year, I'll arrange a marriage for you with someone of similar age from another royal family."

"No." Helena rejected immediately without hesitation, "I won't get married unless I marry Leaf Chen."

The old empress asked her back, "Leaf Chen has already been married, and you yourself said he has many red-hearted women. Which one knew him longer than you? It's the same as the order of succession in the royal family - even if he gets a divorce, you're not the first in line to inherit the throne. In that case, it might be difficult for you to rank among the top ten. Are you really going to remain single for life just because of him?"

Helena said seriously, "Remaining single is fine; it's better than marrying someone who doesn't love me and having children with them."

The old empress said sadly, "If you don't get married, when I'm gone, the entire North European royal family will be left to you alone! Have you ever seen such a miserable royal family?" JrNovels.com
