“I have no doubt you’ll come out on top,” Andrew assured her.

Madisyn offered a smile but chose not to reply.

She turned her attention to the blue roses, enchanted by their fresh and unique scent.

“Madisyn, you’re my goddess!” Rosaline burst through the door, her excitement palpable.

“Your performance today was phenomenal! You were stunning! I’m sure you’ll win the championship!”

Lynda and Gerard entered soon after, their gazes filled with admiration.

“The results haven’t been released yet.

It might be too soon to celebrate,” Madisyn remarked with a gentle smile.

Rosaline insisted, “You were the standout performer today.

Everyone saw it.

You’re sure to win this time.

I doubt those from Mafelen have the courage to change the results.

Madisyn just smiled again, remaining silent.

Andrew observed her closely, a trace of emotion briefly visible in his eyes.

An hour quickly passed.

Soon, everyone took their seats as the awards ceremony got underway.

“The third place is awarded to Noble Padilla from Seleni!”

Caught off guard by the announcement, Noble made his way to the stage.

He felt deeply content to achieve third place in such a fierce competition.

The crowd clapped enthusiastically.

However, the tension in the air escalated.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating the announcements for second and first places.

Lynda and her group watched the stage with nervous anticipation.

The host looked at the card he held and said, “Second place is awarded to…”

He paused, then added, “Madisyn Johns from Lorpond!”

The audience went quiet.

A few applauded, but most were shocked.

It was clear, even to those with minimal dance expertise, that Madisyn had delivered the day’s standout performance.

Lynda and her group were visibly upset.

They had just said that Madisyn was bound to win the championship since so many people had seen and been stunned by her performance.

They had not anticipated her receiving only the runner-up spot!

“This is absurd.

There must have been some foul play by the judges,”
