A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 264

Yara held a glass of wine, raising her eyes to meet Calliope's gaze.

Calliope glanced back, not a hint of intimidation on her face. Instead, she flashed a charming smile to the room.

"Oops, my bad!" she chuckled.

Then, her demeanor shifted. Focused, poised, and exuding an air of confident elegance, she took her place, ready to perform.

Her hands moved with precision, and the sound of music filled the air soon. Her fingers flew across the strings with remarkable speed.

The music she produced silenced the entire room. In that instant, the grand hall was filled only with the sound of Calliope's banjo.

Her playing was extraordinary. It wasn't the usual slow, mournful melody people expected. Instead, it was lively, at times evoking the pounding hooves of a galloping herd, and at others, the fierce clash of swords and shields.

Everyone was utterly captivated.

Meanwhile, in a room on the top floor of the mansion, Silas watched the scene unfold on a monitor, a satisfied smirk playing on his lips. He had always known his wife was exceptional.

Yara had suggested Calliope play an instrument, and though he hadn’t expected the banjo, he had no doubt that she could master whatever she set her mind to.

As the final note hung in the air, the audience was left wanting more.

Even Yara was stunned. She had tried to stump Calliope with what she thought was the most challenging instrument. She had expected Calliope to back down, worried about making a fool of herself. But instead of backing down, Calliope had delivered a flawless performance.

"Bravo, bravo..."

The hall erupted in thunderous applause, everyone unable to resist clapping for Calliope.

"That was incredible!"

"What was that piece? It was so thrilling and intense. I could feel my heart racing with the music, sometimes fast, sometimes slow!"

"I’ve never heard anything like it!"

"She looked so cool playing!"
