Its Prince Alistair.
The culprit hisses under his breath and immediately looses his hold from the lady's neck before sprinting to the other direction in a speed of light.
Anastasia on the other hand, cough so hard and tried to gain back the air that had been hold after being choked for a second.
"Doreen are you okay?" Alistair immediately come to her aid.
"D-dont worry a-about me...c-catch the c-culprit." Anastasia said while pointing to where the culprit ran, still catching her breath.
The prince looks uncertain to leave her alone when one of the rooms suddenly went open, revealing the awaken detective.

"Hey...correct my memory if its wrong but...all of them arrive on the commotion earlier with almost at the same time right? Like all of them were present, no one was left out?" Anastasia suddenly brought up, remembering the scenario earlier."Now that you mentioned it, I was actually surprised when I saw that we are completed that time. I even made a head count to check if someone was missing.""Does that mean that...none of us was the culprit all this time?""I dont know...but lets not assume for now." Alistair just uttered. "...and if none of us was really the culprit, then that makes the servants as the suspects since aside from us, they are the only people inside this mansion." He said."But they said its not them. Senorita Laura even defended their servants as an innocent." Anastasia said in wonder."Its not like you were going to admit it if you're the culprit." The prince reasoned i

"And what about it?""Uh...Im planning to ask him to cover for us so we can investigate by ourselves with no interruptions?"Anastasia said in a question, obviously uncertain with her own plan."And what are we going to investigate then my lady?" Alistair asked in a raise eyebrow, completely judging her plan already."The third person? We're going to check if there was really a third person inside these mansion." She said."That's insane." He commented while shaking his head in disagreement."But that's the only way to know if the culprit was really none of us at all!" Anastasia insisted."But Doreen, the thing that you are suggesting is too way dangerous. What if we really saw the culprit one on one? What if he attack us? We cant do anything!"

Anastasia whispered under her breath.They are currently hiding on a wall where they can see the lounge area from their position. And the man beside him keeps on complaining nonstop. He keeps on ranting about 'how this is so unplanned' and 'how reckless her decision is' and etc. Obviously, the man was freaking out."What are you being so afraid of?" She asked him then."For the record, Im not afraid...Im just being careful. What if the murderer caught us? This is too dangerous Doreen." He complained for the nth time.Anastasia rolled her eyes."I know...but still, all of them are in the lounge that time–including the culprit. So he cant caught us Alistair."

"I know that look Alice...you're going to intrigue them dont you?" The actress guesses with a hint of accusation in her voice."Im just going to ask okay?" The detective defended but the way she avoided Louise's gaze says otherwise."Ask what?""Stop asking and just go to your room. You want to rest remember?" Alice reminded and urged the actress to continue their walk to their room which the latter complied. But sadly, she doesn't drop their conversation."I think we should just leave them alone tho. Maybe its just between them and they wouldn't want to share it to anyone...like a secret? And I bet they wouldn't even tell it to you if ever did you ask." Louise said as a matter of fact."But what if–it was related to the case?" She asked back.Louise just shrug. "If its related to the case then they will open up to you with their own will."
