Lord Nicolas welcomed the detective, the inspector and the twenty policemen in the front gate.
The detective then says, "Thank you for welcoming us, lord duke.
It was quite a long ride from our station to this mansion.
Let me introduce myself at first, my lord.
My name is Yusupov Povilyia.
By my side is my dear friend, inspector Yaroslav Bogdan."
Then, Inspector Yaroslav replies, "Greetings, my lord and this twenty policemen are my henchmen. We are here to investigate a murder case inside the mansion just like you requested, my lord."
Lord Nicolas replied, "Yes, indeed."
Then, Lord Nicolas thinks in his mind, "So, the culprit is possibly called the authorities by the phone in the mansion and requested them to investigate the murder mystery that happened during the ballroom party event.
WAIT!!, it means that person knew about this incident before it happens.
Because the authorities arrived not so long after the incident, so the culprit must had called them before the incident began. He/She had expected this incident and he/she knew about my plan this entire time.
How could i not noticed this person's move, what do i miss?
Every person i met, i had analyzed them and so far i had eliminated the people that i considered a threat towards my plan, who else other than Mrs.Varvara that i already taken care of and Sir.Igor,
whose his moves have no suspicion for now.
Who else will have an intention to take me down
Who is this person?"
Then, Lord Nicolas says towards Detective Yusupov, "There is a very terrifying incident just happened during our ballroom party. So, please detective, help us to find whose the culprit?"
Detective Yusupov replies,
"Don't need to worry, my lord. We'll finished this case as soon as possible."
Lord Nicolas then nods and says,
"Thank you for your words, detective, your presence calm me down.
Alright, let me escort you to the location of the incident."
Then, they got inside the mansion and Lord Nicolas escorts them towards the ballroom.
As they're on the way to the ballroom, Mrs.Victoria returns to Lord Nicolas's room.
Lady Lyudmilla is still in the room.
Mrs.Victoria goes inside the room and closed the door, but unexpectedly she pulls out a key from her pocket and she immediately locked the door.
Lyudmilla shocked as she did that.
Then Lyudmilla says, "Why do you locked the door, is the situation outside dangerous, what happened outside and what happened to Nico?"
Mrs.Victoria just stay silent.
After that, Lyudmilla has a feeling that is something wrong, which is why she has the key towards Lord Nicolas's room?
Then, she asked towards her, "Why do you have the key to Lord Nicolas's room?"
Mrs.Victoria replies, "Because it is a part of our deal?"
Lyudmilla confused, "A deal?"
Mrs.Victoria then says, "Alright, it seems i have to tell you what's my connection of me with Lord Nicolas."
Lyudmilla replies, "Your connection with him, you are his assistant, isn't it?"
Mrs.Victoria then answers, "No, i am actually a spy."
Lyudmilla surprised, "A spy?!"
Mrs.Victoria replies,"Lord Nicolas once got a task from the Tsar (King of Russia) to have a diplomatic meeting with the Queen of England, your majesty Queen Veronica to tighthen a diplomatic relationship between Russia and England as a sign of friendship
During the meeting, Lord Nicolas requested Queen Veronica to work together to help him taking down the Tsar and gain his throne, as an exchange, Lord Nicolas promised to have greater and closer relationship with England on economy and millitary aspects. He said when he become the Tsar, Russia and England not just be friends, but will be brothers and he believed that both of our nation will be much more prosperous than ever before. And my queen agrees, but she still doesn't truly believed on him completely, thats why she sent the best spy of England, which is me to watches over Lord Nicolas and make a report towards my queen."
Lyudmilla then replies, "So, you are....."
Mrs.Victoria replies, "Yes, i'm England's best spy whose been sent directly by the Queen of England. I'm diguising myself as Lord Nicolas's assistant. But now oddly, he dragged you, a total stranger from a noble family to join force with him, how easy. You are a nobody towards him, but why he picked you to join our organization, what did you do to him?,are you seducing him, so you could used him to get what you want, Lady Lyudmilla?"
Lyudmilla says, "No, i'm not, i genuinely fell in love him, nothing else, i have no intention of anything else other than that."
Mrs.Victoria replies, "I'm not that easy to be tricked, young lady, i had met a lot of noblewomen and most of them are scumbags who just want to seduce powerful men for a wealthier life, most of noblewomen are trash who just wants to get picked up by great men."
Suddenly, Mrs.Victoria pulls out a gun from her pocket and aims the gun to her.
Lyudmilla surprised.
Then Mrs.Victoria says, "I ask you once again, what do you want with Lord Nicolas?"
