Ambush of the Quadruplets novel Chapter 1286

Emmeline had no intention of competing with Sonia in singing because she simply couldn’t sing. However, she would gladly sit in the audience and enjoy the show if Sonia was willing to make herself a Thespian.

Sonia, wearing high heels, gracefully ascended the stage.

She exchanged a word with the accompanist, and the musicians began to play ‘Un bel di vedremo.

Sonia positioned herself on the stage, looking the part, and with a clear and bright voice, she started singing. Oscar applauded, “Excellent!”

Emmeline joined in with the applause. “Brava!”

Abel stood by, chuckling.

“Un bel di, vedremo levarsi un fil di fumo sull’estremo confin del mare. E poi la nave appare. Poi la nave bianca entra nel porto, romba il suo saluto…”

As the aria ‘Un bel di vedremo’ continued, Sonia sang with precision and elegance, captivating most of the guests in the garden.

Those who knew her recognized her as the mayor’s daughter, but those who didn’t. whispered to each other, “Who is this new actress singing in the Struyrian opera? Not bad!”

Michaela was initially proud, but her expression quickly fell when she heard the whispers. However, she couldn’t openly confront anyone and had to suppress her feelings.

“Grandfather,” Emmeline poured tea for Oscar. “Sonia’s performance of ‘Un bel di vedremo was really excellent, even comparable to the masters. Is there another piece you’d like to hear? I can request it on your behalf.”

“Let’s go with Libiamo nelieti calici,” Oscar happily suggested, “that one is also beautiful.”

Emmeline stood up and addressed Sonia on the stage, “Ms. Steiner, Grandfather requests ‘Libiamo nelieti calici, please continue!”

Sonia, pleased that Grandfather enjoyed her performance, smiled gracefully and nodded. She gave a courteous gesture to the audience and said in her Struyrian opera style, “Please listen, Grandfather, to Libiamo nelieti calici”.

The accompanying musicians began to play Libiamo nelieti calici”, and Sonia proved that she wasn’t just bragging. She performed the aria with remarkable skill, earning cheers and applause from the audience. When the piece ended, she took a graceful pose to acknowledge the applause.

“I’d like to request another one,” Emmeline said, “how about ‘O mio babbino caro?””
