"Don't You Suspect Her?"

Cynthia walked down the corridor, originally intending to explore the room Tristan had mentioned as holding various treasures. But she found herself captivated by a painting hanging on the wall. The painting depicted a beautiful estate, resembling a fairytale-like floating garden.

The castle-like manor was surrounded by countless blooming flowers, and in the glow of the setting sun, it appeared dusted in a faint golden sheen, mysterious and dreamlike. It was easy to imagine that the real place was even grander than Backingham Palace.

Just then, footsteps echoed behind her. Standing at the stairway corner, she turned to see a group entering from the main door. Tristan led the way, followed by Jimbo Cartman, Sean Liam, and an unfamiliar woman.

"What are you looking at?" Tristan stepped forward, glancing at the painting behind her with a barely noticeable frown. "Interested in this?"

Cynthia descended the stairs slowly. "Just looking around."
