Chapter 6238

In the past, the royal family primarily served as a symbol and occasionally as a puppet for the ruling government. The government would invite the royal family when necessary, but during other times, they had no opportunity to involve themselves in political matters.

However, Helena’s clout in Northern Europe is remarkable; she has earned an outstanding reputation not just in Europe, but worldwide. By enhancing the international image of Northern Europe, she has also attracted considerable investment. With the support of such a queen, the current Nordic government can alleviate much of its burden, which has led them to regard her with significant esteem, even allowing her a certain degree of participation in state affairs. Her advice is taken seriously, and her recommendations are implemented as much as possible, granting her a measure of actual power.

The Nordic government quickly embraced her recommendations regarding this incident. They are acutely aware of the public’s resentment toward extreme environmentalism and the frustration felt by citizens who are angry yet silenced.
