## Notes and Trivia

* The double masks of her is the public "polite" queen that maintain kingdom lives like keeping the tradition of the wake very diligently VS her hidden "ugly" personality that's hating Lilyth as her son's lover so much that makes her try to do anything to make Leelathae (Lilyth)/Jack distant but all failed especially because how oblivious her son is to anything. Her hidden mask is so heartless of keep repeating to Lilyth that she's ugly without Jack knowing that leads for Lilyth to can't stands the pressure and unwillingly screams to Jack that she didn't want to marry Jack (when in reality isn't). Helena 'congratulates' Lilyth and kicking out her from the stage of story together with Jack. Helena is very surprised and angry at Episode 162 as knowing Lilyth still come back but with confidence as learns the future from the Omniscient clam that all of her children in 3 labors will be 'the most beautiful in all land'.
* She's the smart one in crime partnership in order to not make Lilyth marrying her beautiful son for attempts as such :
	+ Directly after realizing that Jack bringing Lilyth from faraway island, she asks for sudden private word so they could discuss about Jack's decision to bring Lilyth that thoughts as a prank. Helena clearly shows her disagree by pulling out a book with title "The **FAIREST** OF THEM ALL 30 UNDER 30 LIST".
	+ As Jesse gives idea of "all work and no play to makes Jack tired of 'weird' Lilyth" to leads Lilyth need to learns well about their language before even getting existence acknowledged, as well to always remain chaste until marriage.
	+ She try to makes Jack away from Lilyth by asking him to join the wakes, but as Jack wants to bring Lilyth along (which completely missing the point of his parents) but can't - this leads for board game night traditions.
	+ She requesting a portrait of Lilyth in order to shows Jack 'how ugly' his lover is, but although the portrait turns out to be very ugly and creepy - Jack absolutely loves it which makes Lilyth happy to knows Jack truly lovers her.
	+ The ultimate final attempt is to pointing out in tea party setting as Lilyth now frequent in their language - that Lilyth will becomes like The Story of Melusine tragedy which taking role of both the mother that cursing Melusine, as well Melusine herself, which a roundabout way of saying that Lilyth will passing ugliness to Jack's future kids.
* Her name may refer to beautiful Helen from Greek mythology, she was the most beautiful woman of her time and because of her the war of Troy started. Queen Helena is also obsessed with beauty.
	+ It's interesting to know the book that Helena has it's referencing the message which engraved at the golden apple (the early part arc of The War of Troy) as "For the **Fairest**".
