The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella) novel Chapter 1580

It wasn't until that very moment that Alma pieced together the puzzle. The voice she heard in her head, Summer's soulful melodies, held an uncanny resemblance to Arabella's everyday chatter. Sure, when belting out a tune, Summer's vocals packed an unparalleled punch, with a power that could pierce through hearts and walls alike.

She had never seen the connection between Arabella and Summer before.

All she could think was that her cousin had truly outdone herself.

Jossie, stationed discreetly at the side of the stage, whipped out her smartphone to capture a candid shot of David and Arabella, their silhouettes etched against the spotlight.

Who would've guessed that Arabella, seemingly so frail, harbored such tremendous vigor within? She navigated the treacherous highs and lows with such finesse that it was nothing short of breathtaking—a sound that seemed to transcend, cleansing the soul.

As the final notes of "Angel" faded out, David's eyes shimmered with emotion. "Let's give it up for tonight's headliner, Summer, and her flawless rendition of this song," he announced.

He opened his arms and embraced his sister in a heartfelt hug.

The fans erupted in applause, a thunderous ovation that seemed to roll on endlessly, filled with warmth.

"This song is dedicated to my sister. What did you think when you first laid eyes on it, Summer?" David asked, his voice a mix of hope and nerves as he awaited Arabella's response.

"It's beautiful. I bet every little sister in the world, hearing this song, would be reminded of the good in their big brothers," Arabella said, her gaze locking with David's, her voice laced with gratitude. "You're a great brother, your sister is so lucky."

David's smile broadened at her affirmation.

"It's because my sister is extraordinary." he said, his sincerity palpable. "She truly is the best sister in the world. I adore her. And right here, I want to tell her, just be herself. Like the lyrics say, her big brother will always have her back, shielding her from storms and paving the way for her triumphs."
