The Pianist And The Songstress

Alistair and Roxine looked at one another. Sierra had stepped out to help her friend. Hearing what she was proposing to do, they quickly realized what she was trying to do. The audience turned to look at the King and Queen too. 

"A joint performance?" Sierra, what are you doing? I… I can't do this, not to you," Myra whispered to her as she tugged on Sierra's sleeve. 

She didn't want to drag Sierra down with her. 

"You'll be alright, Myra. I promised to be here for you," Sierra added with determination. 

"Very well, Princess Sierra, you have our blessing," Queen Roxine declared to all after a short discussion with Alistair. 

Sierra thanked them with a curtsy and a deep bow. She looked over to Ida who brought out a set of scores. Ida seemed to have understood Sierra as she handed the princess what she needed. 

Placing the scores on the music rack, Myra understood too. 

"Just like we practiced, okay?"
