Sophia turned to Helene with an easy smile.
"Yes, that's what I suggested earlier… but I never said I wouldn't do it," she replied smoothly. "I was just worried about our safety. We're practically diving headfirst into a fight, Helene. We have to be careful."
Helene stared at her for a long moment, eyes sharp and questioning—clearly unconvinced.
Sophia didn't flinch. She held her sister's gaze, her expression warm and steady, as if daring Helene to challenge her further.
After a tense silence, Helene finally spoke.
"Since we're partnering with them… are you still planning to go through with your plan?" she asked quietly, shifting uncomfortably on the bed.
Sophia's gaze darkened for the briefest moment at the question, but she smoothed it over with a calm breath and a practiced smile.
