As she contemplates her grandmother’s advice on the importance of heirs, Maria Lin subtly inquires about her joining a trip to Antarctica. Meanwhile, Charlie plans their departure to Ushuaia, Argentina, a location Jeremiah warns could be a deliberate trap set by the Broken Qing Society.
Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7420
For Helena, abdication was a simple matter, but for the Nordic royal family, once she abdicated, the royal family was basically destroyed.
Now that the throne has fallen into his hands, there is no one else who can inherit it. If he insisted on abdicating without an heir, there were only two possibilities: the royal family would perish and there would be no more Nordic royal families; or they would simply borrow a king from another constitutional monarchy in Europe.
Such things were common before World War II. At that time, European royal families were mostly intermarried. If no one from a maternal uncleâs family remained, it was not uncommon for the family to send a young son to inherit the throne.
However, today, human relations are relatively strained, and the concept of nationality among European societies is no longer as harmonious as it was before the war. They generally harbor prejudice against other nations, making it difficult for the public to accept a member of another countryâs royal family as their monarch.
Thinking about this, Helena couldnât help but remember the main point her grandmother always emphasized.
The point wasnât that she had to marry Charlie or anything like that; the point was that she had to have children.
He couldnât help but sigh inwardly, âGrandmother is right⌠After all, the royal family needs an heirâŚâ
Seeing her fall silent and seem to be thinking, Maria Lin stepped forward and whispered, âDoes Her Majesty the Empress also want to go to Antarctica with us?â
Helena felt like the little girl had seen through what was really happening. Embarrassed by her mischievous gaze, she muttered awkwardly in a low voice, âI⌠Iâm not as free as you guys, going wherever I want. The royal family only has a few days off. Soon, weâll be participating in various activities and going on friendly visits to various countries again.â
After saying that, he sighed softly, âI will call again to confirm and see which day is more convenient for you to arrive in Argentina.â
Seeing him distracted, Maria Lin chuckled and stopped teasing him.
Helena immediately hung up the phone and said to the group, âI just checked. The research vessel is currently at the port of Ushuaia, Argentina, and is scheduled to depart in five days. As long as everyone can arrive in Ushuaia before departure, there will be no problem.â
Charlie nodded and said, âThen, I will coordinate the flight and depart directly from Northern Europe.â
Jeremiah Yun couldnât help but remind him, âMr. Wade, donât forget that the Broken Qing Societyâs hideout is on a small island in South America near Antarctica. Argentina is a springboard for them to spread their influence around the world. If we go directly to Argentina, wonât we be falling into their trap?â
Maria Lin smiled and said, âYoung Master and I have tracked down a shipping company actually controlled by the Breaking Qing Society. We found that they do have regular flights to and from Buenos Aires, but Ushuaia was never mentioned. Ushuaia is located at the southernmost tip of Argentina, and also the southernmost point of South America. It is two to three thousand kilometers from Buenos Aires.â
âPeople usually use it as a transit point to get to Antarctica. Since the Breaking Qing Society never uses Ushuaia, this proves their nest isnât near Ushuaia. Weâll bypass Buenos Aires and fly directly to Ushuaia, which should be much safer.â
