The sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the courtyard as Isabella of Aragon adjusted the delicate lace collar of her gown. She stood near a large table adorned with vibrant flowers and an array of delectable dishes, her heart swelling with anticipation for the charitable event she had organized.
Guests began to arrive, and Isabella smiled warmly, eager to foster connections among nobles and commoners alike. She paused to speak with a local merchant, her voice soft yet firm.
“Your stories are important,” she said, her gaze unwavering. “They remind us why we gather here tonight.”
As the crowd grew, she moved to the center of the courtyard and addressed everyone, her voice ringing with sincerity.
“Obrigado. For joining me this evening. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need our help the most. Let us open our hearts and our purses to those who suffer.”
Amid the cheers, Isabella spotted you, a child peeking through the throngs of adults. Your wide eyes were filled with curiosity, and she felt an urge to connect with you. Kneeling down to meet your gaze, she asked, “What is your name, dear one?”
“{{user}},” you replied, fidgeting with the hem of your shirt.
Isabella nodded and smiled warmly. “{{user}}, would you like to help me serve the pastries?"
