Getting The King's Heart

"Why do you want me to be King Louis' consort? If you know, King Louis doesn't want him at all. The King has had two consorts before. They seem more worthy of being side by side with King Louis than with me who is just a farmer's kid."

Finally, Helena had let go of all her questions. So far, she had not gotten any clarity.

All of Helena's encounters with Queen Revania in the hospital are a strange coincidence.

Revania laughed, hearing Helena's words just now, after a while laughing satisfied. Then she took another sip of her shisha, and a puff of smoke suddenly reappeared.

"Dilara and Emira, idiotic sisters. The people of Aarez even think I chose them both. Hh! Queen Marie is very good at making up stories." Revania said while snorting, annoyed.

"They've been here for almost two years, were it not for King Louis' mother, who chose them. There's no way they could be here." Revania's facial expression has changed as if there is hatred when she remembers the previous queen.

"You know, even when their marriage was only a month apart. Louis? He didn't give a kiss to them at all. And until now, Loius didn't want to touch either of them." Revania continued and chuckled in satisfaction.

"Queen Marie Louis, you mean? She just died a few months ago." Helena replied.

"What do you know about Queen Marie, Helena?" Revania asked with high interest.

"Queen Marie Louis is the seventh Queen to lead the State of Aarez. After we separated from the State of Antarez a few years ago,"

"Queen Marie made many changes to the economic sector. Together with King Stephen Louis, Queen Marie led the country of Aarez very well."

"Even her name into the top fifty. Influential women in the world," Helena said explaining.

"You just mention the advantages, then what are the disadvantages?" Revania is still fishing for Helena. So, she will continue to bring out her hidden abilities.

"Uhm..?" Helena looked doubtful.

"Say it, Helena. I'm the only one who heard it. She's also dead. You don't need to worry for speak out," Revania tried to convince.

"Unfortunately, too many gaps in the Aarez country. Indeed, our country's economy is growing fast."

"It's just that the distribution of agricultural products and state taxes are too large for the lower economic class."

"Like farmers and manual laborers, because they are the ones who feel the impact," Helena said. But she was afraid of her explanation.

"Very clever. You are right, Helena. And now my husband, King Louis. He is trying his best to fix it," said Revania pride.

"Because he knows if we keep doing this. Then there will be conflict, and many more people will be displaced." Revania put down her Shisha.

"I'm so glad to be married to Louis. We love each other. At that time, I was 22 years old, and Louis was 25 years old."

"But....!" Revania see on Helena's face with sadness.

"I couldn't give a kid for Louis. And that's what I found out after the third year of our marriage." Revania started talking, and Helena was still listening seriously.

"A year ago, before the death of my mother-in-law, whom I love dearly," Revania said with her irony sentence.

"Queen Marie appoints the Chayton's daughter. Dilara and Elmira, to become Louis's consorts." Revania's hands clenched tightly. There was a sense of anger she was holding back.

Helena is increasingly showing fear. Who knows, Revania is also upset with her.

"The Chaytons, a respectable family. Because James Chayton is a royal adviser, and confidant of my in-laws. Too bad the brains of his two daughters aren't as great as his father's," Revania smirked.

"Then. Why are you still looking for a consort for King Louis, if you still love him? And why do you want me... Mmm... So that I can sleep with the King?" Helena asked carefully. She didn't want to hurt Revania's feelings.

"Hhh..." Revania sighed slowly.

"This country has rules that must obey, Helena." When Revania stopped speaking, Helena saw the queen who was holding something back.

For some reason, Helena was sure she had seen Revania's teary eyes when she told the story.

"A strange rule, that the King must have offspring. And... If the Queen cannot give offspring, then the King must choose one of his consorts, to have a successor from the King." Revania continued.

"But... If that can't be done. Then the King must abdicate. The throne can be given, to a younger brother or another lineage. The problem is, there only him, Louis Aarez." Revania looked at Helena, waiting for her. Draw conclusions or opinions.

"I know about the regulation. King Louis must have a child. Unfortunately, King Louis also lost his brother when he was in a conflict area. Hhh... I'm sorry, Queen Revania. This must be hard for you. But, regarding has a child, I'm sure you can do it..."

"Helena..." Revania interrupted quickly.

"I'm sick, and I don't have much time. Does Louis know that my life may only be a matter of days, weeks, months? He's... even willing to abdicate! Instead of having children from his two stupid empresses! But... all his struggles it will be a waste." Revania displays a very serious expression.

"As you said, the poor people in this country are quite numerous and neglected. I can't be that selfish, letting them suffer. Whereas I lived happily in my last days with the King." Revania grabbed Helena's hand and held it tightly.

"Queen Revania?" Helena looked confused.

"I am wrong, Helena. Because I'm really dying, Helena. This makeup helps me to look better." One of Revania's hands pulled her hair.

Helena watched in confusion. What was the queen doing?

"Ohh...My queen... you?" Helena was surprised when she found out that Revania was wearing a wig.

Currently, there is not a single hair on her head, and Helena's heart was touched to see Revania's poor condition.

"You know the worst thing is because there are no more descendants from Aarez. Then, the throne can fall into the hands of the king's adviser."

"Do you understand what I mean now?" Revania said, and she returned to styling her wig.

"Hah?" Helena covered her mouth.

"Having or not having children of the Chaytons... Still, the throne and victory are on their side." Helena made her conclusion.

"You're right, Helena. That's why I have to find an empress for my husband. Save his position as a king, even though I have to give up my heart." Revania said, and a single tear had managed to escape her cheek.

"And you, Helena? You are the right person to replace me. I'm so sorry I have to use your grandmother. So you can obey my orders. But don't worry, according to my promise, if you succeed in getting the king's heart. I will bear all the costs of your grandmother Helena's treatment. " Revania said again.

Helena was silent for a moment. She had got all the answers to her questions so far. But why? It was heavy.

King Louis loves Queen Revania. Wouldn't it look evil if Helena openly won the king's heart?
