At the end of the corridor, there was a long gallery, with court guards in medieval attire standing on both sides.
Audrey stepped into the gallery.
Only VIPs could attend this masquerade ball, so the guards did not stop Audrey; they allowed her to tour.
On both sides of the gallery hung oil paintings, many from the medieval period, including some world-famous works, but mostly portraits.
Rows of candles flanked both sides of the gallery, casting a peculiar glow on the paintings in the candlelight.
Eventually, Audrey stopped in front of a portrait of a woman.
If the portraits here were all of Western figures, then this woman's portrait was decidedly of an Eastern woman. Moreover, there was something familiar about her face.
The woman was very beautiful, especially with those almond-like eyes...
That's right, Mom had those eyes.
But this woman's eyes weren't quite like Mom's.
Uncle?
Yes, Uncle! Those were Uncle's eyes.
