The Princess and the Paupers

Chapter 196

The eighth–place winner was performing his original piano composition.

This year’s competition not only tested the contestants‘ piano playing skills but also required them to compose their own music. Many people who were adept at playing the piano couldn’t participate in this year’s competition because they didn’t know how to compose.

At this moment, the eighth–place winner finished his performance, stood up gracefully, and bowed to express his gratitude. And the host started applauding, then invited the seventh–place winner to perform on stage.

Suddenly, Louisa received a phone call and whispered to her two daughters, “Your grandmother has been in a coma for many days, and she has finally woken up. We are going to see her, we’ll be back soon.”

“Dad, Mom, don’t worry about us.” Serena was very understanding, “My award ceremony still has some time, so no need to rush.”

“We’ll try to come back before your performance.” Louisa kindly said, then looked at Arabella, “Bella, call Mom anytime if you need anything.”

“Okay.” Arabella said.

After Kenneth and Louisa left, Serena looked at Arabella with pride and asked, “Sister, have you ever learned to play the piano? Have you won any awards?”

She looked at the stage and confidently said, “I started learning the piano at the age of four, and that teacher Andy, who doesn’t accept students, took me under her wing after watching my performance. Do you know who Andy–is?-She’s a famous piano master in the country. Many people want to learn from her but don’t have the qualification. Under her guidance, my piano skills have improved rapidly, and I have won over–fifty first prizes from a young age!”

Her tone was full of pride as she raised her head and asked, “What’s the name of your former private tutor? Has she won any awards in this field?”

However, Arabella might not have heard her question because she turned her head and noticed that Arabella had already put on her headphones and was fully focused on playing a game.
