Chapter 224 - The Performance

    Abigail pov


    As if the dazzling stars havee down on earth. The room was full of sparkle and dazzle. Though I have seen this kind of function in the past, this was the first time I have be part of it.


    Red carpets, the hall covered with dim lit candles and big chandeliers focusing only on the stage. The whole hall was filled with nobles while the esteemed guests were given balconies. though Be was not sure, as the eminent duke family of the empire, her mother was still invited to attend the event.


    That was why Be was attending the function as thedy of the house and I was standing behind the curtains with Oliver, though I would leave too. I have to be with the prince. But after yesterday, i was not sure if i would be able to stand there nonchntly like before.


    "So, did you like my preparation?" asked Amayra with a smirk. I must say that the woman was perfect in her work and I nodded.


    "In a few minutes the show would start. Do you want to see the girls with jewels and dresses." asked Sharron as she joined us and I nodded.


    We all walked towards the backroom where girls were getting ready. The dresses were looking beautiful on them with the jewels, they were looking no less than fairies.


    "Why are you looking so worried, everything is looking perfect?" asked Amayra and Sharronughed awkwardly.


    "Well, the musicians were still not here. And they could not perform without music. Especially the new way of walking you have taught them. They only practiced it with music."


    "What time was given to them?" asked Amyra and I felt uneasy. A foreboding filled my heart.


    "I have called everyone early dawn. There must be some problem. I have asked my side to look for it. She has gone personally to bring them." she replied with a sigh and Amayra rubbed her arms to assure her.


    But before I could ask anything further, a girl came in with hasty footsteps and walked straight to Sharron.


    "Mydy. There is a big problem." I did not need to inform that the girl was the aide that Sharon had sent to bring the musicians herself.


    "What happened, E." The girl looked at the crown hesitantly. Her face was white and she was fidgeting with her dress.


    "The musician''s carriage overturned suddenly and they had an ident. Though it was not a major one, their hands got injured and they would not y the piano now." she replied in a single breath and a lot of gasps could be heard in the room.


    "What will we do now?" asked Sharron looking at Amayra who was lost in thoughts just like me.


    Amyra rubbed her forehead and sighed, "well, I think we have to cancel the show and present the jewels in showcases like we do every year. There would still be spare showcases in the storeroom. If we use all the staff we can still disy them there." she announced and the dancers that were looking too excited just a while ago looked at each other''s face with despair.


    "Wait.. i have a solution to it.'''' They look at me with both frustration and hope.


    "Lady Abigail, we do not have time to experiment. The guests have already arrived. Evn the crown prince and crown princess visited today. A single mistake can ruin my name and image, I have made in years." said Amayra in a sharp tone and even the sweet Sharron nodded.


    "I am not going to do anything different. I just have another musician in my mind that can take their ce.'''' They both looked at me with a glimmer in their eyes. Even the dancers who were about to take off the jewels stopped and looked at me.


    I just hope that Be did not freak out when she knew this.


    "It is my sister, Isabe. She can y the piano and his friend Oliver can help her too."


    "Are you sure? She is too young to handle it and it is not about ying but she had to y it on stage too." pointed Amayra and Sharron nodded.


    "She can do it. I am taking the responsibility of the whole matter. So you do not need to worry." Though they were still reluctant, I could see Sharron getting convinced.


    "Amayra, we do not have any choice. We have already written about the performance in the letters. It will affect our image if the show does not happen." she added as Amayra stood at her point adamantly.


    "And if things did not work well, you could always me it on us telling the family of the duke to have requested you. So, you could not say no, only we were to be med then!" she sighed and finally nodded her head.


    "But would your sister be able to y the symphony the girl has practiced on? It is not like she can y any song of her choice here." she added as she pointed at the keynotes that were hung on the piano.


    "Well, she can do so by looking at the notes. Wait, let me call her.`` Instead of sending Beth, I personally went to the balcony and called her.


    "Be, I need your help. Would youe with me." she looked at her mother who was frowning but looking at my worried face, she nodded and followed me.


    "Can you y a symphony by seeing its keynotes?" she nodded her head in confusion and I sighed.


    "Come with me, we have a show to perform." She looked at me with widened eyes but I held her hand and started dragging her down there.


    "Wait, are you serious? You want me to perform in front of so many people and also for a new song. I can not do that. What if I missed a beat or turned nk looking at their faces.. I have never performed in front of more than 4-5 persons whom I personally know."
