HappyNovelChapter 290 A Symphony of Ten Fingers The melodious piano music echoed through the banquet hall like a sprite, lifting one's spirits, making troubles seem miles away.
What was meant to be just background music for the event had transformed into an intimate concert. All the guests stood still and looked back, captivated by Sadie's piano performance. In a corner, a pair of ice-blue eyes watched Sadie intently, filled with unexpected admiration and surprise.
Mason paused to listen for a while but soon shifted his gaze and hurried to the back hall. He hadn't recognized Sadie on stage, so he went to the back hall to look for her.
Soon, the piece ended, and thunderous applause resonated throughout the room.
Sadie rose and took a bow, then sat back down to start the next piece, Chopin's "Grande Valse Brillante".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis piece was light and joyful, like a maiden in love performing a solo ballet by the lakeside, awaiting her beloved's arrival...
The mood brightened, and everyone gently swayed to the music, unable to stop smiles from spreading across their faces.
Even Micah, normally so stern and cold, allowed a slight smile to grace his lips. He had never had the chance to appreciate her music fully in the bar before. Now, he realized that this seemingly clumsy woman wasn't useless, after all. At least, her piano skills were genuinely gifted.
"Is it really that good?" Amelia muttered under her breath. "What's so great about these college students from music academies with subpar talent?" "That kind of skill is rare in the world, and you call it subpar?" Micah rarely showed such scorn towards Amelia. "You just don't appreciate talent!" "It's not that, Micah-" "Hush!"

But as she started the intro, she noticed the bottom half of the sheet music had been torn off.
Panic struck her.
She had played this piece before, but after four years away from the piano, the notes had escaped her. Now, the music was as foreign as a distant memory. 'What to do?' She kept playing the upper half, but she was quickly nearing the torn edge, forced to rely on her fading recollections.
Soon, something felt off...
Several guests in the audience noticed as well, their enchantment with the previously flawless piano performance turning into furrowed brows. Seven began whispering amongst themselves. Fear gripped Sadie as she contemplated stopping.

Together, their fingers danced across the keyboard, four sprites playing in seamless tandem.
Overwhelmed with relief, Sadie looked to her side, only to be taken aback.
Beside her was a striking young man, his classical features flawless his Snow skin as pale as snow, and his ice-blue eyes clear and penetrating...
He was like a prince out of Greek mythology, radiating an innate m e aristocracy.
With a heavenly smile that seemed to bless all in its glow, he diverted her dher ΟΠ focus back to the keys with a nod of his chin, and she turned her attention back to the concert. Thunderous applause erupted from below. Micah watched the duo with a complex expression, knitting his brows.
Amelia was caught off guard and whispered, "Is that..."
