Fang Hong picked up the photo frame and glanced at it. It was a portrait of a woman, about twenty-seven or eight years old, with an elegant demeanor, wearing a hat, and smiling. However, that smile was somewhat warm, as if from the heart, making people feel a slight sense of reassurance upon seeing it —
He rarely saw such a genuine smile, unlike Hilveld's, which complemented the innate quiet temperament of a noble lady. She smiled at everyone, but the meanings were different, perhaps just part of her upbringing and manners.
But the smile in the painting was a true reflection from the heart, vividly rendered and touching. Just a portrait, yet it still made people empathize.
Fang Hong turned the frame around, and on the back of the wooden panel, a line of small characters was written in ink: Miranda, 1446 (Year of the Shadow), 6, 11.
