Chapter 527: Bold Genius or a Soon to Crash Comet?

"Honestly, Ava, I knew you were dramatic, but I didn’t know it was a talent!"

"Mum!" Ava groaned dramatically. "You make it sound like I start fights in markets!"

"Do you not?" Arthur asked without looking up.

Ava gasped in offense. "I’m a creative, thank you very much."

Carl chuckled from the back. "She’s not wrong though," he said, turning his attention to Ava now. "You’re a very talented actress, Ava. But I have to say... I was genuinely impressed."

"I practiced more with my teacher after I saw how dedicated Nnenna was in her own major," Ava admitted with a half smile, nudging Nnenna lightly with her shoulder. "She’s been working like a possessed person. I couldn’t let her outshine me that easily."

Nnenna laughed softly. "Oh please. I saw your final pose. You were born for the stage."

Somto shifted slightly in his seat but said nothing. He was still a bit tired having rushed over to watch Nnenna and Ava perform. Still, Carl noticed the faint nod that followed, subtle, but a rare show of approval from their resident stone wall.

Queen White wasn’t done. "And Nnenna, my dear," she continued. "That dance! You floated like a feather but hit every beat like a drumline. You should have seen the judges’ faces!"

"She was great," King White added from behind. His tone was soft, but his words carried weight. "Precise and expressive. That’s not easy to balance."

Nnenna smiled quietly, soaking in the praise.

"I thought the girl was going to summon rain at some point," Arthur said, deadpan, eyes still on the window. "All that skirt twirling."
