Prologue
January 28th, 1888 "And that's how to hide the body, put it in a hidden room with an entrance in the form of a large bookshelves. Anyone want to ask?? Come ask, I won't bite~ " The cheerful speech of an ivory-white masked girl covering her eyes caught the attention of people who were currently gathering in a library room with one of the bookshelves open, exposing the body of a girl who had turned purple wrapped in a shabby dark brown dress, lying lifeless in the middle of the secret room. The girl's yellow iris with pointy black pupils stared at one of the men looking at the secret room with a not-so-obvious pale face - "If no one asks, I'll ask hideton's young master" the brunette man snapped when he was called by the masked girl who was now walking near him. Her bright blue long-sleeved dress followed in the masked girl's footsteps until it finally stopped, right in front of Hideton's young master, Mervin Hideton "My question is very simple, where were you on January 27th yesterday, at 21:00?" "What right do you have to ask where I am? Don't you know who I am!?“ Mervin Hideton's loud voice makes the girl squeal as she looks at him with an annoyed look. It's always like this  "You didn't answer my question, Mr. Hideton. I'll give you one more chance to answer" "What if I don't want to answer!?" A thin smile appeared on the girl's petite face as she heard a question from the man with the title of royal child. Her fingers covered in white gloves patted the shoulders of young master Hideton whose facial expressions were seen still displaying an exasperated expression "Then,... with a heavy heart that I say that you were arrested for the abduction and murder of the missus in the dark brown dress" as soon as the girl finished speaking, a boisterous atmosphere occurred. A beautiful woman is seen fainting in the arms of a man in a long black tuxedo who is looking on in anger at the masked girl "THERE'S NO WAY MY SON'S THE KILLER! I WILL SUE YOU FOR DEFAMATION!!" the roar is loose, spread until it can be heard to the first floor of the Hideton family mansion. The wavy golden blonde-haired girl simply smiled thinly, looking at Lord Hideton's anger before returning to stare at Mervin's clearly pale face - "So, do you want to answer my question??" the girl's question was only answered by the young master Mervin's slow nod, clenching his fists, as if trying to swallow his shock. The fingers overlaid with white gloves were raised, telling everyone to shut up for a moment "Go on, young master Hideton" "The 27th yesterday, I,.. I went to the Duke of Walton's house for a book club meeting and then I went home at 10:00 p.m." he said quietly. "You didn't make it up??" "No" "Is that it?? Because it's a lot different than I heard, you came to the Duke of Walton's house at 6:00 p.m., but you didn't live there until 10 p.m., that information I got from your clubmates. They say that you left there at 8:15 p.m. with a girl that young master Lyle Walton knew as the waitress girl who worked at his house. Then I wondered to all the waiters there and finally I found the name and address of the servant girl, took time indeed but it was reciprocated with the information I got " "N,... Not!! You made it up! There's no way I'm with a waitress girl! I'm Mervin Hideton! Son of Lord Hideton!! I can't possibly be with a lowly girl like Zora Chandler!! “ "Huumm,.. Then how do you know her name is Zora Chandler? “ As if struck by lightning, the brunette stared at the masked girl with both eyes wide open. His body was shaking and his mouth was open, seemingly wanting to say something but it didn't seem so and a second later moved quickly, trying to escape from the library room but he was stopped by people with police badges. "I WILL SUE YOU!! YOU HAVE TARNISHED MY SURNAME!! YOU WILL REGRET IT!! "shouted the young master Hideton as he tried to escape the clutches of the police who are currently dragging him away. Meanwhile the masked girl simply looked at him with a knotted smile printed clearly on her face. The bead turns to stare at Zora Chandler who is still lying lifeless before she approaches a man with a police badge "My fee, Inspector Knightley" Chuckling quietly, a middle-aged man with a cigar tucked between his mouth reached into his suit pocket, pulled out a small bag containing pound coins, shillings and pence and handed it to the masked girl " All total 500 Pounds, 10 Shillings and 10 Pence. No less, nothing more " said the middle-aged man to the girl who is currently peering into the small bag he was holding. Hearing the words, the black bead stared at the man in front of him with the witty look of "Take it easy, I trust you Inspector Knightley" he said while putting the small bag in the pocket of his blue satin dress "All right! My job is done and have good day, Inspector Knightley."
