That evening, Keira told Lewis about the situation.

Lewis listened, his reaction calm as always. "Got it," he said plainly, offering no further comment.

Keira assumed he'd given up on the idea entirely.

But the next morning, Matthew arrived and handed her two cruise tickets.

Keira looked at them in surprise and asked, "Who's the other one for?"

Matthew answered in his usual detached tone, "I'm going with you."

She blinked. "You?"

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. "Yes, you may be 'Keera', but there's a lot you don't know. Sure, you left the South family when you were three and don't remember much, but over the years, I've maintained contact with them. Without my help, you wouldn't be able to pull this off. Besides…" He paused before continuing, "You're going to need Keera's account credentials and password, right?"

Matthew explained further, "The final round of the competition requires an entry ticket. The South family has implemented strict measures to prevent imposters, so you'll need the account credentials to verify your identity. DNA verification might also be required. Since you and Keera are identical twins, your DNA should be similar enough, but you don't know the credentials—only your adoptive mother does."

Keira frowned and took a moment to process this. "Can guardians board the ship too?" she asked.

He nodded. "They can."

She sighed. "Alright then."

Her eyes dropped to the cruise ticket in her hand.

It was for a luxury cruise spanning Europe, set to sail for two weeks. Curious, she asked, "Where exactly are we supposed to disembark?"
