Chapter 1431
Queen Julia slowly turned around her eyesnding on the woman ying the piano on stage. Her
pupils contracted, and her lips quivered uncontrobly.
The sound of the piano seemed to float in from a faraway ce, entering Julia’s ears, seeping
through every pore of her skin, flowing into her body, and resonating deep within her soul. Who
was she? Why was she ying this piece?
The soulful tune matched the melody in Julia’s heart perfectly, without the slightest deviation, Julia’s
heart nearly stopped beating. She held her breath and stared intently at Chloe, not daring to blink.
Your Majesty…”
Lea noticed something was off with Queen Julia and gently patted her. With a sigh of relief, Julia’s
body went limp, nearly copsing on the spot. Luckily, Lea and Barbara were there to catch her in
time. Seeing the way the Queen was looking at Chloe, Barbara felt a twinge of unease. She was
wary of Queen Julia showing Chloe any special treatment.
Julia’s eyes started to redden involuntarily, and her body was still shaking.
Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Barbara asked in a low voice, her brow furrowed.
Julia didn’t respond but tightly gripped Lea’s arm, hurriedly making her way to the stage. She
moved in a rush, clearly impatient.
The performance had been grand and majestic so far, but now a light and lively piece had emerged.
Although Barbara’s piece had been yed before, Chloe’s was more popr.
After all at a state banquet like this, everyone was on edge. No one had expected such a rxing
moment. The power of music was just that magical. Compared to Princess Barbara’s piece, the
guests preferred this one.
However, as everyone was immersed in the music, some people noticed Queen Julia being
escorted off the stage in a fluster. All eyes were drawn to the Queen, faces filled with confusion
“What’s going on?”
The reporters present also turned their cameras towards Queen Julia.
Barbara froze in ce, her scalp tingling. “What are you doing? This is a state banquet, you should
be careful…”
Julia didn’t seem to hear her, pushing Barbara aside and moving forward with Lea.
What about the asion? She didn’t care about the asion. Nothing was more important than
verification.
For the so–called “asion,” Julia had always been cautious. Now, all she wanted was to find her
Jasmine, no matter the cost.
As Queen Julia took the stage, all the guests began whispering amongst themselves.
“What’s going on?”
Barbara stood there,pletely at a loss.
What was happening? Was there something special about the piece Chloe was ying?
She listened and listened, but technically, there was nothing outstanding about it! But why had
Queen Julia suddenly acted this way?
Chloe was unaware of the unusual atmosphere off stage. Her only task at the moment was to finish
ying the piece at hand.
This piece was just an ordinary piece, nothing special, not likely to offend anyone, in and simple.
She had no reason to suspect that this piece would cause her any irreparable problems.
As the piece was drawing to a close, Chloe looked up and suddenly saw someone slowly standing
next to her. Chloe’s expression froze for a moment, but her fingers continued to y swiftly,
sessfully bringing the piece to a wless end.
Chloe stood up and nodded at Queen Julia. “Do you have any questions?‘
Queen Julia’s gaze lingered greedily on Chloe’s face, her excitement puzzling Chloe.
Chloe smiled gently and said softly, “Would you like to y the piano? I’m done. I can give up the
seat for you.”
As she spoke, she picked up her skirt to leave, but was stopped by a hand grabbing her arm.
Chloe paused, turning back to look at Queen Julia in confusion. “May I ask…”
“Why did you y this piece?‘ Queen Julia asked Chloe with aplicated look in her eyes.
Chloe stiffened, a shock going through her heart. “You know this piece?*
Queen Julia smirked slightly. It seemed that Chloe was a cautious one, but she reacted fast. A
normal person would’ve just answered her question, right?
“You don’t want to tell me?”
Chloe quietly stared at Queen Julia’s face, her smile, her eyes, filled with profound meaning. After a
while, Chloe finally said, “It was taught to me by my mother…”
Chloe could clearly feel the grip on her arm tighten instantly. Ice–cold sweat covered Queen Julia’s
palm, and she couldn’t control her shaking or the excitement on her face. Her thoughts were a
whirlwind.
“Your… mother…” Julia muttered to herself, seeming a bit dazed. “your mother…”

Chloe slowly nodded, looking into Queen Julia’s eyes, and said slowly, “Yes, my mother. This is
the piece my mother taught me. She said… it’s a unique piece in the world, only to be yed for
those who can understand…”
A tear fell from Queen Julia’s eye.
“Only for… those who can understand…” She repeated, shaking her head, her face a mix of
emotions.
Excitement, joy, shock…
Bryson’s words echoed clearly in her mind at this moment, and Chloe’s hands clenched tightly.
“Um… My mother once told me that this piece should only be yed for those who can
understand… So, did you understand it?”
Chloe looked at Queen Julia, unsure of what her current emotion should be, or what kind of emotion
she should have. Before deciding toe to the Y Country, she had noticed something off about
Yasmine. Yasmine had always refused to tell Chloe why she had only given her this melody.
Chloe’s arms were suddenly grabbed tightly, a sharp pain bringing her back to reality. Julia was
looking at Chloe with anticipation written all over her face, totally thrilled. “What’s your mother’s
name? Where is she now?”
Chloe wet het lips, giving her aplex look. “Your Majesty…”
“No! Don’t call me that, child… Julia was somewhat losing it, and her words almost came out as a
growl.
Seeing this, some of the spectators down below even stood up from their seats.
