The Princess and the Pauper (Arabella and Romeo) novel Chapter 207

"She can't even remember sheet music?"

"Remembering sheet music is the most basic thing for people learning the piano. It's unbelievable that she can't even remember a complete piece of music."

"And what's more, she can't even play 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.' That's just ridiculous! I could play that when I was four."

"How could someone like her get second place?"

"There must be something fishy about her second place!"

Ashley, a judge sitting in the front row of the audience, took the microphone and said disappointingly, "This year's piano competition not only requires high-level performance, but also your own composition. From the first preliminary round to the top eight in the third round, you have been playing the same piece."

Other contestants would compose several pieces and take turns to perform, showing their better side and getting more points. But Yolanda had been performing 'Misery' from beginning to end.

"At first, I thought you were confident in your own composition and thought you could win the competition with one song. So you performed with one song from beginning to end. I even thought you were confident. I didn't expect that it’s the exact opposite, and you could only play 'Misery'!" Ashley was extremely disappointed in her, "You tried to bluff your way through this serious and solemn occasion. I'm very disappointed in you."

"No, no, it's not like that." Yolanda was almost crying, "I can play more than just this one."

People in the audience mocked,

"Then play it! Show your skills and prove yourself!"

"Maestro Melody plays so well, you're scared, aren't you? You don't dare to play, do you?"
