Charlie the butler slowly led the cart to his mistress's room. He knocked the door once, waiting to be welcomed by the sweet scent of jasmine. "Ms. Karen?" he asked after a few moments of patiently waiting.
Thinking that his young mistress would be sleeping, he used the duplicate keys and entered the room. But then he was greeted by morning rays and neatly made bed. The only thing that stood out the most was the pink letter on the letter with the initials K.M.
"Mr. Tsuruga, the inspector wishes to speak to you." a lady dressed in a maid's uniform entered his study room. He strolled across his room, letting his long legs stretch at full length after being cramped in a chair.
"Inspector Takenori." he said. The man with a little mustache raised his eyebrows. "I must say, you are always on time, Mr. Tsuruga."
"And I presume it's another case?" he inquired.
Inspector Takenori smiled a little, leaning forward on his chair. He laced his fingers and looked straight in the eyes of the black wigged man. "Of course, but this time, the case is quite peculiar."
"And what, pray tell, it may be?"
"Why don't you head to the parlor room with me? Perhaps I could lay down the details quite accurately." he proposed. Mr. Tsuruga nodded and followed Mr. Takenori inside the parlor room.
"Oh, Mr. Tsuruga how lovely to find you in our company," Mrs. Takenori said while serving tea.
He smiled a little before nodding. "It is a pleasure to meet you too." he replied.
"A perfect gentleman like always, how unfortunate you mustn't be married!" she exclaimed. she excused herself and retreated back to her room, leaving the two men in the parlor.
"As you were saying, there is another case I shall..." Mr. Tsuruga said, signalling him to continue.
"Ah, yes. Do you recall the Morris' at Hart field?" he asked.
Mr. Tsuruga thought for a while before nodding. "They had a lovely daughter who was soon to get married to her beloved, Mr. Fuwa Shotarou. However, she was gone the morning before the wedding, leaving a conspicuous letter. The letter didn't mention any reasons of departure, nor did she say where she was headed. It confused the family greatly when they just found initials written below with great haste."
"Do you have the letter?"
"Oh yes, as a matter of fact I was giving it to you as soon as we had finished discussing about this case."
"Why don't you show it to me right now? Perhaps I could look into it." he said, setting the cup down.
"But there was one more thing that was found in the drawer of Ms. Karren Morris's room. it was a document of some sort. When I looked it over, I found few disturbing matters, which later, I confronted the family."
"I presume it has something to do with the daughter who ran away?"
"Oh yes, it was. Actually, I wouldn't say she was the daughter."
Tsuruga Ren looked up, confused.
"I'm sorry, I didn't hear you." he said with an apologetic look.
Mr. Takenori sighed then sipped his tea. "The document clearly stated that the person residing at the Morris residence is actually an imposer, and she was kept in their house as a pretense of the actual mistress."
Mr. Tsuruga looked astonished, and thankfully the cup was on the table. Otherwise, he would have lost the grip.
Author's note:
Yo guys!
I wanted to write a classic story which I got inspired suddenly (Of course by someone) and I will be making this the first multi chapter of Skip beat. So, i hope to see positive reviews, and I would only continue after getting a few reviews.
but don't expect me to post regularly, i'm a very lazy person. But I will try to post as many chapters as soon as possible.
And with that, I leave you.
Enjoy and Bye.
