How is she supposed to stand for herself against the crown prince who she works for?
Well the crown prince already has her favor and likes her so when helena stands up for herself , will the crown prince be mad? No , but there may actually be a possibility he might get mad more like hurt though . .
You can read the other comments if ya don't get it :D
but her mother told her to sit quiet and act dumb though?? idk but being told that constantly during your childhood, it affects the child's mindset
Exactly.

Cause girl you is just making me annoyed of you and ya ain't even standing up for yourself , and oh boy Helena gurl your just basically like those Cliche FL who gets ML's so easily and then they go ahead and follow you like a Good Dog. . .
