Chapter 137: Don’t Let Me Down Chapter 137: Don’t Let Me Down The harp is elegant but complex.

The violin is expressive but demands precision.

The piano…” She trailed off, studying Nnenna’s face.

“What do you think?

If you had to learn one, which would you choose?” “I’m not sure,” Nnenna admitted.

“I haven’t had enough experience with any instrument to be able to choose.” Lady Rose sighed, but there was no disappointment in her expression, just understanding.

“It’s okay,” she said.

“At least you’ve agreed that dance and poetry are your strengths.

When the time comes, stick to what you know.

Don’t let anyone push you into doing something you’re not sure of.

Remember this.” Nnenna nodded.

She had learned many hard lessons over the years, and one of them was not to let herself be manipulated into competitions she had no business entering.

Her sister, for example, had been trained in music from before the age of six and was exceptionally skilled at multiple instruments.

If given the chance, she would likely try to push Nnenna into an unfair comparison, one that she couldn’t possibly win.

“I won’t let that happen,” Nnenna assured Lady Rose.

“I understand the risks, and I’ll make sure to stick to what I can do well.” Lady Rose studied her for a moment before nodding approvingly.

“Good.

Then we’ll continue refining your strengths.

If you ever change your mind and want to learn any instrument, let me know.” Lady Rose nodded in approval.

“Very good.

I hope you have dresses prepared?” she asked, expecting a simple “yes.” To her surprise, Nnenna hesitated.

“No, Teacher,” she admitted, turning away slightly.
