‘Ultimately, she decided to marry the king, but not for power or riches...’
Love And Duty
Helena knew that she would one day marry. She'd have someone to spend the rest of her life with. She had yet to know what marriage was outside of having children. She could never know the details either. All she knew was that marriage was a right of passage. Outside of that she didn't know much at all.
She was at the age where she suddenly had in interest in boys. Specifically, one she would marry. She was finally old enough. She hadn't lived much of her life outside of what she knew but marriage was coming. Her mother had the perfect partner in mind. They hadn't met yet but they would soon.
He was tall and kind. They hadn't spoke much at all nor did they ever spend too much time alone. Her parents were so excited for her. Naturally, she was excited too. She had never been in love before but it would surely happen. She'd never had any form of a romantic relationship at all. It was all new to her. She was going to marry the king because it was her time.
