'Madira you shouldn't be doing it' Sophie said as she sat beside her on the mattress, Madira would have ignored her sister's warning the whole time but she couldn't she know very well that they shouldn't be doing this.

'you mean I... ' she replied drawing the syllable indignantly while pointing to herself, she knows how easy it is to manipulate her little sister.

Sophie has nothing to do with this but because the only thing she is good at apart from sewing and stitching is being nice and humble so when she had first brought the idea and explained everything Sophie had no choice but to support it and also upgrade her simple decent dress into a perfect fit for the occasion and even a perfect cover up for their parents until she returned from her famous rendezvous.

'no, that's not what I mean ' Sophie responded quietly her eyes darting with guilt. She will never want her dear sister to think she is criticizing her decision or that she is attaching all the blame on her. Madira smiled sweetly at her, pink artificial blush camouflaging the hypocritical purpose beneath it.
'what is it then' she asked for the first time dictating her attention away from the mirror.

'I mean...God forbid...what if...what if....' Sophie stammered not sure what the right words not to provoke her big sister will be at this moment, she tried to search those words in her eyes but instead lose her complete confidence she was willing to talk her out of this plan.

'did you actually know who Ambassador. Sadah Gaboni is' she finally said releasing her breath, Madira was enjoying this way too much. She had bravely hidden her wild amusement at her sister. 'that's the real deal Soph, that's the actual point, Mr. Sadah! did you know who he is' she ended with the same question Sophie had asked but on her side with much enthusiasm.

Sophie in reply just nodded 'what if... What if you know...something happened, what if he did something to you' she added.

Madira sighed shaking her head disappointed on her sister's pure innocence she would have tried to impact some little wisdom in her head if she had had the energy or the time besides she wouldn't want to corrupt her lovely sister any further, making her lie to their parents was even more than enough.

Sophia read her silence as a sign of withdrawal and take it as her queue to continue. 'see, following rich men like him is not the best idea... What if he took advantage of you and there is nothing you can do since you went there yourself and...- but something in the way Madira was looking at her shut her up she knows she had exceeded her limits.

' am going to be fine, Soph' Madira said looking at her dear sister with sweet power in her eyes the type of power she had always used to dissuade her the power of the strong love Sophie had for her.

'trust me, I got this beside am the only girl for the job' she said remembering what kamy had told her ' that's why kamy choose me' she added shrugging.

Indeed the only girl sufficient to be connected to a powerful rich political mogul among her outrated peers is her. The thought of it alone brought immense joy and pride to her.

However, innocent Sophie had other thoughts instead she huffed in spite of herself with slight annoyance 'kamy? is this all about that....' she went silence checking her vocab for any profanity at hand, she couldn't think of any words to describe kamy, rather the only thing she knows was kamy had always been behind all of Madira's misconceptions and rebel acts.

'is this all about that rebel kamy huh, why not she do it herself' Soph said folding her arms with mild fury but not towards her beloved sister.

'Hey, calm down, will you' Madira reached out and touched her shoulders tentatively she knew she had to deflect her technique, bringing up kamy will totally not make Sophie more comfortably as she is not already.
