Kapitel 90: An Angel's Song

King Duncan and Prince Ibarra almost have a heart attack. "Father, why don't you ask Amaya to come down?  She doesn't need to perform and embarrass herself." 

Marx pursed his lips and it took him a lot of effort not to go up the stage and drag Amaya down.  He regretted not convincing her not to play.

Prince Raquim extended his hand to get back his guitar but Amaya glared at him.

"Sorry, I made a mistake earlier, but I already corrected it and the tune should be fine now,"  Amaya said while smiling broadly.

Prince Raquim was dumbfounded.  'Is this princess tone deaf and dumb?'

The audience held their breath and were preparing to cover their ears with their hands.

Amaya started plucking the strings one by one very gently.  A sweet but melancholic sound filled the air and a hush descended in the banquet hall.  Amaya started humming as her fingers moved nimbly from one string to the other.  When the timing was right, she started singing.
