The Olsen estate was bustling with activity as the staff worked tirelessly to prepare for the big day.

Every corner of the house was being scrubbed to perfection. Monbatten, the king, was expected to visit today, and the atmosphere was charged with anticipation.

The Cobb family had even sent their own people over to ensure there would be no missteps—any mishap could lead to a diplomatic disaster.

In the midst of this whirlwind, Keira finally descended the grand staircase, holding Amy's tiny hand. She handed Amy an iPad, the screen already playing old videos of Keera and a much younger Amy together.

Amy's face lit up with excitement. "Mom! When Dad gets here, I'm gonna show him this!"

Keira smiled faintly. "Good idea."

She had heard Sean mention it before—Monbatten once confessed that he remembered a pair of eyes, eyes filled with a warmth and resolve he had never seen before. Keira's gaze lowered briefly. She and her twin sister, Keera, may have looked alike, but their eyes betrayed their differences.

No matter how well Keira could mimic Keera's timid demeanor, the quiet strength in her sister's gaze was something she could never replicate.

That's why those who knew Keera well—like Mary—could tell Keira wasn't her.

But since returning to the Olsen family, Keira had stopped pretending altogether.

Even if old acquaintances sensed something was different, they chalked it up to "Keera's" newfound confidence after reclaiming her heritage.
