Something caught Mabel's attention. She came to an abrupt stop in front of a giant painting. The artwork portrayed a woman with flowing blonde hair and mesmerizing purple eyes. The woman in the painting exuded beauty, her smile radiant and her attire elegant.
"Nanny, who is this?" Mabel inquired, her small hand delicately tracing the contours of the painting.
The exquisite woman in the portrait emitted a solemn presence that Mabel couldn't quite decipher, but it felt oddly familiar.
Clara, approaching the painting and seeing the curiosity in Mabel's eyes, displayed a hint of nervousness.
Despite this, she managed a gentle smile. "This, Mabel, was the Empress of the Isindor Empire," Clara explained, her gaze fixed on the painting with a hint of nostalgia.
