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 h e 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.
If 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.
