It reminded him of Melody’s silence in the past month. Melody did not speak much, so he thought she
knew nothing. Melody was more sensitive than anyone else. She knew that something had happened
to her father. She just couldn’t articulate it in words. She was frightened and restless every day.
But now, her fear had passed since she had finally seen her father. She could now play this piece
calmly. When the fear passed, the music turned lively. The reaction from the audience also changed.
When the two excellent pianists played, even they could not immerse themselves in the music
completely. But this little girl, who was only four years old, made them feel the fear and anger and
sadness of the composer.
The little girl’s piano skills may not be perfect but the way she conveyed emotions in the music was
outstanding. It was no wonder Albert had accepted her as his student. The piece slowly came to an
end. Everyone was shocked and amazed in equal measure. There was thunderous applause in the
concert hall. The two pianists sitting on the side had underestimated the little girl.
The more they listened, the more they found that she was extraordinary. When the performance ended,
the two pianists rushed to her.
“Young Lady, may I know your name? Can we have a brief conversation?”
Melody got down from the tall bench and hid behind Alden shyly.
“Sorry, but my sister is very shy. You can tell me if you have anything to say,” Alden held Melody’s
hand. George stepped forward.
“If my sister holds a piano concert in the future, I can give you tickets.” Harold stood in front of Melody.
“Don’t trouble my sister, or I’ll fight with you.”
The two pianists did not know whether to laugh or cry. Adina in the audience was proud. A long time
ago, she had accepted that her daughter was reserved and silent and might never go out of the house.
But now she saw that her little girl had grown up. She slowly learned to speak and began to
communicate with the people around her. Today, she played on a stage and shone brightly.
Melody made Adina proud.
"You taught your children very well.” Queen Mavice turned around.
“When my daughter was her age, she was willful, naughty, and disobedient.She's almost an adult now,
but I'm still worried about her.” Adina remembered the news about the queen’s only daughter who had
started dating when she was twelve years old and liked to get involved with street gangsters. The
media had reported about it at least a dozen times.
It was indeed a headache to have such a child. She smiled and said, “I came to Yggdra for a trip. I
heard that there was a piano concert here, so I brought the children along with me. I didn't expect to
meet you, Your Majesty. I'm Cairnstanian, but I often see you on the news. I admire how well you can
manage a country.”
“It's my duty to govern the country.” "I wonder if I can invite you for an afternoon tea, Your Majesty?”
Adina asked hesitantly.
“I admire you a lot. If I can have a cup of coffee with you, I'll be most honored. It will also make my
friends very jealous when I return home." Queen Mavice chuckled.
“Am I that famous in Cairnstan?”
“Of course.” Adina smiled.
“There's a saying in our country. Women hold up half the world. You're the ruler of a country, so you
become the center of our topic. There're still many interested in your governance. I wonder if you would
like to chat with me?” Queen Mavice stood up happily.
“Sure, let's have a cup of coffee together.”
