The minister replied “I do as your wish majesty, I think, the Painter is the culprit, who have given you the various collections of paintings”. Then the King ordered the minister to arrest the men who had given that.
The minister and the guards rushed to that men home and arrested him. Then the guards brought him to the palace court room.

King investigated the men, “Why you did this to me..? Are you trying to revenge me..? Tell me the truth, Why you inserted the spirit into the painting..? Who said to do that..?” king angrily asked.

“ If you refused to say, I will kill you” he said.

That men panicked and he said the truth “Your majesty, I am innocent. I didn’t do this to you. The nearby country Rich men's son James has did this. He  is who told me to send this painting to your daughter. Please forgive me majesty, I am not the culprit, I don’t know anything about the ghost.

So  i missed the chance to marry the Isabelle. I become angry on her, I decided to revenge the her. I went to the witch and told about this, The witch has given me idea, to insert the ghost inside the painting. She has used dark magic spells to insert the spirit in the painting.

Witch said,  “DON’T LOOK AT THE PAINTING, IF YOU LOOKED INTO IT, THE SPIRIT WILL BEGAN TO BOTHER YOU. I called of that men and asked him to deliver the painting to the princess”...
