"hi..."sophia said awkwardly coming out of the curtains.
"OMG, you two spent the night together?! AGAIN!"Mathilde exclaimed excitedly
"You're not going to tell on us, are you?..."sophia asked awkwardly.
"Of course not, I'm just happy you guys are finally together. I would never betray on you. I love my brother and I want him to be happy, and I can see how happy you make him. Plus, I just think you're really great, sophia. I'd be lucky to have you as my sister-in-law. I promise, I'll do everything in my power to see you too walk out of this together."Mathilde expressed
"I would be the lucky one to be able to call you my sister-in-law. In a lot of ways, you already feel like a sister to me."sophia replied.
"I agree with her, thank you so much for always looking out for sophia."theo replied.
"I think I probably would have just left that first day if you hadn't encouraged me to stay. You really have helped us so much and I'm so glad you can see that my feelings for your brother are genuine."sophia expressed.
"Oh,sophia, the entire country can see your feelings for him are sincere, that's why the other girls are after you so badly . You have something they will never have, a genuine affection for my brother that is reciprocated. They smell blood in water and I'll be damned if I let those sharks tear you apart."Mathilde assured.
"Thank you, really, it means so much."sophia replied
"To both of us"theo added
"Okay, but we do have a serious problem. The second challenge is this afternoon and you guys slept the morning away. So, the entire palace is awake, and all the hallways are full of staff. If they see you leaving here or walking around like that, it will be obvious what you two have been up to."Mathilde informed
"We didn't do anything, Mathilde, we only..."theo said shyly just then Mathilde interupted
"I don't need to know"
"I just need to get her back to her room ASAP before you're caught for real. Beacuse the two of you are about to suggest by your expressions what you two are up to."Mathilde taunted
"Let's go sophia"Mathilde said
"When will I see you again?"sophia asked.
"After the second challenge, but call me when you get back to your room.i'll help you prepare."theo informed
"Enough, lovebirds!"Mathilde interupted
"Go, call me when you're in your room and safe."theo ordered and Mathilde and sophia went from there.
"unfortunately your room is so far away from Theo's, it makes it more likely someone will..."Mathilde said just then the royal Chamberlain interupted
"Your highness, lady sophia...where are you going?" He asked.
"I'm dropping lady sophia to her room."Mathilde replied
"Where have you been so early? And in such...attire"royal Chamberlain enquired.
"Oh, i just took lady sophia to my closet to return some clothing. She borrowed for the challenge yesterday."Mathilde excused
"I see ...is that the case, sophia?"royal Chamberlain again enquired
"Play along, okay? This will be a disaster for us both otherwise."Mathilde whispered in Sophia's ears.
