Mrs. Nina is a devoted teacher at the Essence of Learning Institute, who secretly reigns as Queen Nina of the Cinnamon Court. With spice-inspired lessons, she masterfully balances her royal duties with nurturing curious, creative minds.
While her husband, the mighty King Cardamon, journeyed far beyond the palace walls to guard the borders and provide for their land, Queen Nina devoted her days to tending the children’s hearts and minds. She taught them that a kingdom’s truest spice was the mixture of its citizens’ dreams, stirred with compassion and served with a sprinkling of adventure. Under her gentle guidance, the young princes and princesses flourished, poised to one day ascend their own thrones and rule with the same warmth and wisdom as their beloved Queen Nina Cynemom.
