"Let me come with you."
"No you will not."
"You're not the one I am talking to."
"Who said I was talking to you?"
"Then why are you answ-"
"Both of you, can you please be silent for once?!" Alice uttered in annoyance.
But that's understandable. Afterall its still early in the morning, still raining heavily outside and still having their suppose to be 'peaceful breakfast' when Lady Doreen(Anastasia) and Prince Alistair started bickering at each other again.
It started when Alice announced that she will going to continue the investigation later and probably needed to see the body again so she ask Señior Victor if she can go to the basement. Then Anastasia ask if she can come with her but the prince contradict it and that's how they start arguing nonstop.
And Alice have enough.
"How about both of you will come with
"We need to go back." Alice instructed with urgency and the rest immediately followed her."What are we going to do now?" Anastasia ask anxiously, knowing that there was a possibility that someone will die again. And who knows when the killer will probably attack again."Lets talk when we're already complete so the others can also hear it." The detective replied instead.After going through on so much stairs, the four of them finally arrived at the ground floor.Alice approach the maid who was passing by and ask her if she can call the other guests since they are going to talk about something important. The maid immediately obliged."Whats with the sudden call detective? And why the four of you look so dejected. Did something happened?" Madame Leticia instantly ask when she arrived. The other guests are behind her."Please take a sit everyone we're going to discuss about s
Anastasia learn that the man's name is Nicholas Montenor when Lord Gilbert introduce him to the other guests. She also learn that the Montenor manor was just a few kilometers away from Señior Victor and Señorita Laura's mansion. And finally, she notice that the man was very touchy and quite obsess to Doreen Garcia.And it is somehow alarming given the fact that she's trying to stop herself from punching the man who keep on touching her."So the two of you we're really dating. I thought its just a humor." Madame Leticia said.Nicholas smiled and put his arms around Doreen(Anastasia) making her gasp, not in surprise but in annoyance."Yes. Ofcourse we are. Right my lady?" He said then look at her, waiting for her response. Anastasia just fake a smile and deliberately change the topic."Earl Monte–" she stops when the man gives her a loo
Madame Irene was dead.Once again, they're too late to stop it.Detective Alice sigh, close her eyes tightly and hands coming up to rub down her face from too much frustration."Detective get a grip. This is not the time to mourn and cry." Prince Alistair remind behind her."I know." She said before walking straight to the lifeless body.Alice wear her gloves and carefully place her hand on the body's wrist, checking the pulse. She sigh once again when she realize that they were really too late. The body's temperature is starting to get cold means the crime happened about an hours ago. Also, based on the body's posture, it is no doubt that the culprit used a poison to kill the victim.Alice scan the room and notice the bottle of wine and a shattered glass on the the floor."The victim was poisoned." She announced.Madame
"So you were saying that Madame Irene ask you for a bottle of wine?""Yes detective.""What do you think is the exact time she ask you that?""Around 8-9 in the evening we think." The maid answered.That's how the conversation is going when Anastasia arrived at the living room where Detective Alice is currently interrogating the two maids. She silently sit on one of the chairs and listen to them."B-but I swear we delivered the wine unopen and safe. W-we really dont know what happened." One of the maid defends."Detective, I assure you that our beverages including wines are safe." Señior Victor informed and the detective just nod her head at him in understanding.As much as possible, Alice is trying not to suspect the married couple that she known for years and treated like a real family. She hope that her trust for them will not be wasted.
Anastasia heaves a sigh while staring at her reflection from the mirror. As expected, her eyes is so red and swollen because of too much crying from yesterday night.And now she cant face the others with this sight.Grabbing a towel, she decided to take a bath for the meantime to refresh herself and do the other morning routines that she always do. After that, she goes back to the mirror to check herself and huffs an annoyed sigh when she notice that the redness of her eyes is still there.No choice. She doesn't want to show herself in this state but she also doesn't want to starve herself to death. So she look for the bell that Señorita Laura told them to use if they needed something. It is a bell that is connected to the servants room in case the guests called for them. As much as possible, Ana
Metamorphoses, the phenomenal author who instantly got famous because of his/her first ever published mystery-fiction book entitled 'Belladonna'. The Belladonna novel have found an immense popularity, critical acclaims and become one of the most successful book worldwide. The book attracted a wide adult audience as well as younger readers. Since then, Metamorphoses wrote more mystery novels and became popular with that specific genre.But the thing is, no one ever met or even actually see the author in person. Even the publishing company that publishing his/her book doesn't see him/her in person nor doesn't know the real gender of the author. But that only makes the author more mysterious and everyone is curious to know him/her.And Anastasia was not an exemption. She's been eager to know the writer since the day that she read the book that later on became her favorite 'The Book of Murder'. For her, every book that the author is w
"Move aside!" Anastasia immediately shove the prince to the side since he is blocking her way and move closely to the body or more particularly, at the bloody letters.M V M J S U N PThere's a space. And that space must be a missing letter.And that letter is letter E! Means Earth!"I knew it." She said and snaps her finger in realization making the other scoots closer to her, also curious."Really? What is it?" Alice ask her immediately."As you can see, the series of letters has a space between letter V and M. Which only means that there must be a missing letter. And I think the missing letter is letter E." She said."How can you tell?" Prince Alistair ask.Before answering, she gave the prince a look 'I thought you're expert on making mystery novels how can you not know about this?.' But the latter just frown at he
"Eli! Aren't you going to eat? You been locking yourself on your room for days. Im getting worried."The man inside the room tiredly open his eyes and blink it for a few time to adjust his sight. He yawned while stretching himself and immediately notice his dirty surroundings.And the dirty surroundings is no other than his room."Eli!" Someone called from outside again that was followed by a loud knocks."Coming!" He shouted.He was about to stand up when he saw a file of papers on his table. Then everything came back to him.That's right. His work is still not done. He has so much thing to do. How dare him fall asleep like that.There was a knock again so he sigh in defeat and decided to finally open the door. He immediately saw his mom."Hi mom–aw! What was that for?" He ask while holding his head that his mom eventually hit the m
