Chapter 3595 The sooner the better
For Helena, abdication was simple, but for the Nordic royal family, it would essentially mean the end of the dynasty.
Now that the throne was in her hands, there was no one to pass it on to. If she insisted on abdicating without an heir, there were only two outcomes: either the royal family would cease to exist, and the Nordic royal family would disappear; or they would simply borrow a king from another European constitutional monarchy.
This was common before World War II, when European royal families were mostly related; if one's maternal uncle's family was gone, it wasn't uncommon for them to send a young person to inherit the throne.
But now, relations were relatively distant, and the nationalistic sentiments among European people were no longer as harmonious as before the war. There was a general prejudice against other countries, making it difficult for the people to accept a member of another country's royal family as their king.
Thinking of this, Helena couldn't help but recall her grandmother's constant emphasis.
The emphasis wasn't that she absolutely had to marry Charlie Wade or anything like that; the emphasis was that she had to have a child.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Grandma was right... No matter what, the royal family needs an heir..."
Seeing her fall silent and look thoughtful, Lin Wan'er stepped forward and whispered, "Does Her Majesty the Queen also want to go to Antarctica with us?"
Helena felt she'd been seen through by the little girl and, embarrassed by her mischievous gaze, awkwardly muttered, "I... I'm not as free as you, going wherever you want. The royal family's activities only have a few days' break; soon we'll be attending various events and making friendly visits to different countries again."
She sighed softly, "I'll call again to confirm when would be a good time for you to arrive in Argentina."
Seeing her absent-mindedness, Lin Wan'er chuckled and didn't tease her further.
Helena quickly returned from her call and told the group, "I just checked, the research vessel is currently in Ushuaia, Argentina, and is scheduled to depart in five days. As long as everyone can reach Ushuaia before departure, there won't be any problems."
Charlie Wade nodded and said, "Then I'll coordinate the flights and depart directly from Northern Europe."
Yun Rugo couldn't help but remind him, "Mr. Wade, don't forget, the Po Qing Society's hideout is on a small island in South America near Antarctica. Argentina is a springboard for their global reach. If we go directly to Argentina, won't we be walking into a trap?"
Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Young Master and I have both tracked a shipping company actually controlled by the Po Qing Society and found that they do frequently have flights to and from Buenos Aires, but Ushuaia has never been mentioned there. Ushuaia is at the southernmost tip of Argentina, and also the southernmost point of South America. It's two or three thousand kilometers away from Buenos Aires. People usually use it as a transit point to go to Antarctica. Since the Po Qing Society has never used Ushuaia..." "The fact that they're in Ushuaia proves their hideout isn't near Ushuaia. Flying directly to Ushuaia, bypassing Buenos Aires, should be much safer,"
Helena said seriously. "Flying from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle will probably take at least twenty hours. Such a long flight is rare, and aviation enthusiasts will definitely be curious about the flight's purpose, even discussing it online. So, if Mr. Wade doesn't mind, I'll arrange the flight. There's a Nordic research vessel in Ushuaia, so we can announce it's an emergency transport of supplies needed for Antarctica to that vessel. That would seem more reasonable."
Charlie Wade nodded and said, "Then I'll trouble you to arrange it."
Helena asked, "When do we depart?"
Charlie Wade said, "The sooner the better."
Helena then said, "Let's return to Osu City first thing tomorrow morning. I'll have them prepare, and we'll take off tomorrow afternoon. Also, I'll have someone prepare a set of Nordic identification for you, making your entry into Argentina safer."
The following morning, Charlie Wade drove a minivan left behind by the Nordic royal family, carrying four women, on their journey back to Osu City.
Because Helena's trip to the Arctic was kept secret, she wasn't escorted by a royal convoy on the return trip. Helena felt completely safe with Charlie Wade and had no worries about her safety.
Most of the route was sparsely populated, so the return journey was very smooth, and they arrived near Osu City a few hours later.
The international airport in Ausu City is located in the northeast of the city. Charlie Wade and his group drove south from the north towards Ausu City, passing right by the airport.
Charlie Wade originally planned to take Helena back to the palace first, and then take Lin Wan'er and the other two to the airport. However, when they were almost at the airport, Helena, sitting in the back seat, said to Charlie Wade, "Mr. Wade, the royal staff are already waiting at the airport with the documents for Miss Yun and Miss Song. The plane is ready for takeoff. I've also arranged for someone to purchase the daily necessities Miss Lin needs, which have been packed and loaded onto the plane. Once we arrive, you can take off directly."
Charlie Wade asked her, "Shouldn't we take you back to the palace first?"
"No need to trouble yourself," Helena said. "I can't waste the time of all four of you because of me. I can also go to the airport to see you off. After you leave, I'll go back with the royal staff."
Charlie Wade nodded slightly. This was indeed more reasonable; otherwise, he would have to go to Ausu City first, make a detour, and then return to the airport.
So he said, "Thank you, Helena."
Helena smiled and said, "Mr. Wade, there's no need for such formalities. Once you arrive in Antarctica, if you need anything, please contact me immediately, and I'll try to coordinate a solution."
Charlie Wade nodded, no longer bothering with Helena, and drove directly onto the ramp leading to the airport.
As they got closer to the airport, the previously unobstructed road suddenly became much heavier, and the speed of the cars steadily decreased.
Charlie Wade found the road ahead completely blocked, and his car could only slowly slow down until it came to a stop on the highway. He muttered to himself, "Why is it so congested? Is there some kind of traffic accident?"
Helena leaned over to take a look. The traffic jam stretched for at least several hundred meters, and the cause of the congestion was completely unclear from the viewpoint. So she said to Charlie Wade, "Mr. Wade, please wait a moment while I ask about the situation."
After saying that, she took out her phone and sent a message. A moment later, she said with a grim expression, "Mr. Wade, there are environmentalists protesting ahead. They have completely blocked the road to the airport and demanded that no one drive through. Some passengers who are in a hurry to catch their flights have already gotten out of their cars and started walking."
Charlie Wade said in surprise, "Your country also has such extreme environmentalists?"
Helena smiled bitterly, "The most famous one, the environmental activist, is a specialty of our neighbor Sweden. In recent years, under her influence, many young extreme environmentalists have emerged in Northern Europe. And the most troublesome thing is that there are many extreme environmentalists from all over the world..." Inspired by them, they traveled a long way to join their protest. This wasn't their first time blocking roads and staging protests; a few days ago, they did it in Ausu, blocking the main thoroughfare for a full 24 hours. Police subsequently arrested over a hundred extreme environmentalists, more than sixty of whom were from abroad, nearly half.
Charlie Wade asked in surprise, "Won't this also take 24 hours?"
Helena said, "Generally, in these situations, the police can't arrest people directly. They have to create a sufficiently large negative impact before making arrests to reduce public pressure. I estimate that even if it doesn't take 24 hours, it will at least take several hours, or even a dozen hours."
She sighed helplessly, "The situation in Northern Europe is rather awkward. Many people have very strong left-wing views. Take global warming, for example; the simplest solution they can think of is to protest in the city center, block roads, and force people to walk. I suspect the theme this time will be the same."
“There are all sorts of weirdos out there,” Charlie Wade sighed helplessly. He glanced at the navigation, which showed that they were still nearly five kilometers away from the airport terminal. He said, “Five kilometers shouldn’t be a problem for us to walk there, but as the Queen of Scandinavia, won’t you be recognized if you walk with us?”
Helena immediately tied her long hair into a bun, put on a dark blue bucket hat, completely covering her hair, and then took out a mask and sunglasses. She smiled and said, “Look, people are getting off the bus one after another. With so many people walking, no one should notice me. Besides, once they start, it’s unlikely to stop anytime soon. We can leave the car here and arrange for someone to come and take over.”
Charlie Wade nodded and said, “In that case, let’s get out and walk!”
