The day had begun earlier than usual for young Arthur, mainly because today was the day upon which his birthday which, funnily enough already passed by as it actually came upon August 2nd of said current month, was going to be celebrated regardless of its now belated temporal coordinate. Oh...bollocks...why must I be awakened at such an ungodly hour of the morning?...This really is troublesome...and to think my family is celebrating my birthday even though it has already passed...Great Scott...they never cease to surprise me...Arthur was musing silently as his set of three, rather well endowed maids, who were triplets and each older than him at 20 years, were already busying themselves with rousing him up out of his luxurious four-poster authentic antique bed made of expensive, hand-carved, teakwood inlaid with silver, gold, and other metals forming intricate decorative designs all over it and with its oh so inviting plush multi-tiered mattress. As he let them start proceeding from step to step in their usual " Arthur's Wake-Up Routine" as he liked to call it, he stifled a yawn that threatened to break past his thin lips, upon hearing the voices of one of the maids as she paused in her duties to chastise him "Now now, Master Edogawa!! You know a young man of such an exalted socioeconomic status as yourself must never let himself fall into such desultory behavior!! Shame on you for ignoring your etiquette lessons! I know you have long since memorized them in every minute detail with that much vaunted photographic memory of yours!"In response, Arthur groaned softly as he looked pleadingly at the other two maids who were snickering at his expense but not lifting a finger to help him and then he remarked to the maid who was chastising him "Aw come on, Rose...give me a break here...it's so... insufferably early...surely, the ceremonial preparations for this birthday bash would not be delayed to any significant degree just because I am a couple of hours late to them?"Arthur remonstrated thus in his usual rich baritone and melodious voice which had a strange mix of British and Japanese accents.

Having a nicer dream of relaxing under a tree in the summer month of August, the young lady would be woken by one of her maids who was a taller dark-haired woman wearing black rimmed glasses. “You better wake up, my dear, as your father is looking for you in the living room.” With the maid’s hand letting go of the pink colored blanket once she was done, Viktoriya would look around for Vera’s presence as she saw the other woman with a headset playing a game on Viktoriya’s own laptop at her desk. Her partner had talked about live streaming for her audience in the morning hour, that bird did enjoy a video game called Skyrim a little too much.[break][break]
“Give me just a few minutes to get ready, Sayoko.” Viki would respond to her maid before getting out of her large canopy bed to make her way to the bathroom. She could hear the sounds of the orange-haired disguised Biyomon talking to her viewers about her character’s skills, but the teenager concentrated only on brushing her teeth and making sure her long hair was neat and tidy.[break][break]
After coming out of the bathroom, Sayoko had spread out her mistress’ fine clothing. The maid would help with undressing the young woman before assisting to put on Viktoriya’s ruffled blouse and skirt. With a finishing touch to the heiress’ hair, Sayoko tied a simple crown braid with two purple hair ribbons. “There we go! You look splendid now, dear!”

Arthur's desperate remonstrance has no effect in mellowing the strictness with which the first of the triplets was treating him as she finished undressing him. No, the only effect it had was to cause the other two of the triplets who were part of his tripartite personal maid squad to snicker and giggle even more at him. However, in the end, they too calmed down as moved ahead with re-making the bed after Arthur had been dragged out of it by their sister. Of course, these triplets, like every other member of his household, knew how much of an intractable OCD he had for orderliness and how much he absolutely hated entropy of any significant degree, so they made sure to do their clean-up and resetting of his bedcovers as meticulously as they always did on a daily basis. After all of that was done, he was summarily led over to the enormous included bathroom he had in his bedroom and was given a bath by the three, which of course, he allowed as per his usual manner. Once that was over, the triplets dressed him up in the standard Western black suit attire as that was the dress code for this formal birthday gathering that was going to be happening later that day in the evening hours.  "Aww, you look so adorable, Master Edogawa!!"As he heard them call him adorable and that too in chorus, Arthur could feel his eyebrow twitch as he was overcome briefly by exasperation but that was quickly suppressed by the dominant logical part of his mind. Still, he could not help but chide them for it, albeit gently and not harshly "Great Scott, could you three at least do me the favor of referring to me as either "cool" or "handsome". Good grief, Rose...Lily...Jasmine...just what do I look like to you three, some sort of pet animal or something?"While saying so, he bopped each of his triplet personal maids on the head gently with his fist in turn, causing them all to do the " teehee" gesture as if they were in an anime due to their obsession with it that they gained from watching various series of these with him. As he witnessed this, he sighed softly and then refocused his mind now that it had booted up completely, which meant that he was finally ready for the day's upcoming events. Right then, the head maid in charge of all of his personal maid squads came in to check on his preparations with her usual relaxed and yet properly respectful smile on her face  "Head Maid Jeanne, checking in on the stage of your preparations, Master Edogawa. Are you quite ready yet? Your parents and the rest of your family are eagerly awaiting you in the grand hall where the ceremony will be held later today. They would like you to participate in the setup process as well, you know."Then, she looked to the the triplet maids and asked as she usually did everyday while looking over the state of the room "Rose...Lily...Jasmine...everything has been reset to its proper order, I presume? You know how Master Edogawa can get if his...preferences were to be ignored, right?"To that, the triplets responded in the affirmative in chorus while shaking their heads in perfect concert, though with a great deal of exuberantly joyful enthusiasm as was their usual manner "Of course!! Would you expect any less of us, Jeanne?! after all, we three are Master Edogawa's carefully and personally handpicked personal care maid squad!!" Upon hearing this, said head maid Jeanne chuckled lightly, her tinkling laugh cutting through the air like the clear tones of a bell and as he witnessed this nice scene, Arthur was led to smile and chuckle as well, though that presented a rather strange picture when juxtaposed with his hollow-looking black eyes and the noticeable dark bags under them. |

As her maid moved to clear up the bed to a orderly manner and put away the nightgown into Viktoriya’s closet, Sayoko turned to walk over to her mistress’ bedroom door. Opening the door wide, she would wait for the young heiress to get outside with a slight bow. “You wouldn't want to keep your father waiting now, he can get a tad grumpy if you are late.” Finishing her sentence with an amused chuckle, Sayoko walked outside of the room for Viktoriya to eventually get herself outside to the hallway of older framed pictures of previous company heads.[break][break]
The two made the trip to the opulent living room embellished with red carpeting, a large sofa, and a red and gold chair by the inactive fireplace. A lone presence sat on the grand sofa where he was reading a book and next to him was a small wrapped gift, the apperance of her father’s striking dark grey hair, tall height, and formal suit would make gentlewomen swoon back in his day. “Good morning, Father. I see that your usual law book is keeping you occupied.” Viki addressed him once the girl reached where he was.[break][break]
Seeing him look up from his current reading, he spoke to her in an aloof tone. “I was beginning to worry if you’ve slept late. At any rate, we have a birthday party to attend to and since we have the present ready for the young man, our arrival to his estate should not be later than 7:21 pm.” Yes, Viktoriya knew her own father who was a retired prosecutor before he took over the company was one for being on time.[break][break]
At that exact moment, her mother arrived in a stunning black formal dress. Her hair stayed the same right wavy ponytail as the woman smiled over to her husband and daughter. “Good morning to you, Mother.” Viktoriya hurriedly spoke with a small bow if her head before replying back to her father. “I would hope he likes the present that we bought for him.”[break][break]
Once the family of three moved to the dining room where a nice English breakfast was served by the mansion’s personal chef, she had half a mind to call Vera down for breakfast. God forbid how hungry the Biyomon could be if she didn't have food to keep live streaming.

At last, Arthur was fully ready and so, his head maid ( i.e., Jeanne) and the triplets maids who constituted his personal care maid squad ( i.e., Rose, Lily, and Jasmine) all headed over to the door, lined up on each side of the path to it with two on each side, and then wished him as they usually did everyday, with their usual cheery enthusiasm, and ended it with a brief bow to him "With that, our work is complete, Master Edogawa!! We wish you a wonderful morning and productive rest of the day!!"Arthur smirked as he saw that and then responded in kind to the four maids now that both his body and mind were fully booted up and online in every capacity, though his own greeting was more moderate in enthusiasm than that of the four maids "Indeed, and I wish you all the same as well."After that, before heading out, he made sure to stroll around his bedroom once to inspect the state of everything minutely and thoroughly as was his routine due to the influence of his neat freak nature. He did not find anything out of the usual order and placement that the contents in his bedroom usually had as per his preferences, so he satisfied himself with that and then, he went off together with Jeanne, Rose, Lily, and Jasmine to the grand hall where preparations for his birthday party that was to be held later that day were already underway and his parents were waiting for him with the rest of the elders of his family. It took him a while to arrive there due to the enormity of the main mansion of his family's estate, but eventually he did reach there.  Upon arrival, the four maids with him ( i.e., Jeanne, Rose, Lily, and Jasmine) excused themselves politely and then headed over to the workers and the rest of his family to help with the preparations. For his part, Arthur greeted his parents as was his usual manner "Good morning, Mother...and good morning to you as well, Father. I apologize for the delay, but you know how I am not much of a morning person..."His parents nodded and smiled at him warmly after which they greeted him in turn, again, as was their usual daily routine, both in perfect sync "Good morning, son. I trust you had a nice morning wakeup call as per usual? We know all too well how you are in the mornings, so we went ahead and started preparations on your birthday party that will be happening later. You should also participate in the preparations now that you are here. First, however, comes breakfast."With that, they paused in their dialog and after that, Arthur's mother pressed a button on her smartwatch which then summoned the maids of the chef squad to their side since it sent them a signal on their own smartwatches "Right this way, Master Edogawa and Master and Mistress Doyle. Your breakfast has just been prepared and is awaiting you in the dining room." The chef squad of maids informed them thus and led them to the dining room of the mansion after which, Arthur and his parents had their breakfast in a nice, leisurely manner. At the same time, of course, they also called all of the household maids who had been helping with the decoration of the grand hall for Arthur's party later, to come in staggered lines to join them for breakfast in the dining hall right beside them, again as was their usual routine since they considered all of the maids working for them to be akin to family. In this manner, the morning flew by and so most of the rest of the day. |

For the rest of the afternoon, the family are their lunch. At around 6:50 pm, the older English butler named Godfrey would have a fancy black Lexus car ready to take Viki and her family to the birthday party being hosted by another one of the big company heads of Japan. She would be the one holding the wrapped gift, wondering what could be inside it. Yet, there was no urge to open it anyway. Viki did try talking with Vera if she wanted to attend the party, but got an answer that the other young woman wanted to read super chats once Vera stopped streaming.[break][break]
At last, the butler drove the family to the gates of the mansion which took 25 minutes. A voice from the intercom would ask for an identification from the family itself as the old butler spoke. “This is Godfrey speaking as their butler. I’m here with Mr. Ivan Romanov, Mrs. Elizabeth Romanova, and the young Viktoriya Romanova.” Once the gates opened, the car would be parked near the three shubbery at the front of the mansion.[break][break]
Unbuckling himself from the seat, he opened the door first for her father to come out, her mother was second to get out, and Viktoriya came outside to hold the gift in her hands. From how grand the mansion of the estate was, the teenager could imagine that the halls were immense too. [break][break]
In time, Viktoriya and her parents were invited into the fancy abode where the first sight was the grand hall decorated with birthday decor and a grand piano for a magnificent piano concert.

As the time went by through the day, morning had given way to noon, noon to afternoon and eventually evening came to pass and the hour of reckoning was upon all parties involved, that is to say, it was finally time for Arthur's much talked of birthday party, though the word did not really do justice to the occasion given the scope of the preparations and the venue involved therein. All that aside, as the guests started arriving one by one, Alfred, the head butler in charge of all the other butlers in service of Arthur's family, greeted each of the families in turn and then let them pass. When Viktoriya's family came and their butler ( i.e., Godfrey) announced their arrival, Alfred responded in kind in a perfectly practiced but yet natural sounding polite voice which was a rich and resonant baritone voice which was melodious to all who heard it "Your identities have been positively confirmed and acknowledged as per the guest list for this evening's festivities. This is Alfred speaking as the head butler in charge of the Holmes House's butler corps. I welcome you all to young Master Arthur Edogawa's birthday celebration. Please, do proceed inside the premises and park near the set of three large shrubs you see out in front of the main mansion. After that, please feel free to make your way in an orderly manner to the grand hall. The receptionist maids will escort you all the way there and I hope you all enjoy a wonderful evening.” With that, just as he had directed the other guests who arrived alongside Viktoriya's family, so too did Alfred direct her family to the grand hall. It took a while for all the guests to reach there due to the distance and the number of people in attendance, but eventually all of the invited guests managed to make it to the grand hall successfully. Said venue was, of course, as grand, richly furnished and impeccably maintained and more importantly, prepared for the evening's celebration as thoroughly as were the rest of the premises of the estate owned and inhabited by Arthur and his family. Upon arrival of the guests, Arthur and his family made their entrance, strolling, slowly and in perfect synchronicity, down the ornately designed and decorated staircases which flanked the grand hall's rear portion. After they had finally come down to floor level, Arthur and his parents ( i.e., Uther and Kushinada) proceeded towards all the guests and greeted them in alphabetical order and finally came to Viktoriya's family. Here, Arthur took the lead in the greetings as was the plan for the occasion, and though his greeting was the same that he had done for all the other guests before them, it still had the same impeccably practiced and natural politeness and cordiality to it as could be expected of the son of any affluent family "Greetings, Mr. Ivan Romanov, Mrs. Elizabeth Romanova, and to the young Ms. Viktoriya Romanova. I am Arthur Edogawa and these are my venerable parents, Uther Holmes and Kushinada Holmes. I thank you for doing me and my family the distinct honor of being in attendance at my birthday celebration tonight and welcome you and yours most heartily to this joyous occasion. It is truly a great pleasure to make your honored acquaintance and I hope you have a wonderful time during these festivities tonight." Arthur spoke in that distinctive and naturally rich, resonant baritone and yet melodious on the ears voice of his at a not too slow not too fast pace as he did before and had a cordial smile on his face as he did so after which he and his parents fell silent to allow the guests, including Viktoriya's family to respond too. Needless to say, Arthur like his parents, was dressed in formal black-tie attire, his being a three piece suit Of course, despite how snazzy his suit was, Arthur had not been able to hide the noticeable dark bags under his jet black eyes nor the hollow look in them, though naturally the hollow look was not because he was bored with any of the proceedings, but was rather because that was their innate appearance. |

For a while, the time that it took to greet the other rich families that walked in in an alphabetical order from the Edogawas was a bit lengthy. As the young man came forward to extend his greetings to her family, the heiress came forward to bow forward in return for the hospitable greeting. “Thank you for your hospitality towards my family, Mr. Edogawa.” She replied kindly in her Received Pronounciation accent before moving to join her family and Godfrey over at the refreshments table. The older butler stood guard near her parents, always making sure they were both very safe from danger.[break][break]
“Should I take that gift from your hands, mistress? I don't ever want to worry about your hands getting tired after all.” He asked Viktoriya first before she would nod, his hands would take the gift to hold it. Though her partner had to stay behind at her house, Viki would wonder if the bird was having a nicer time reading all those super chats later. Messages that held a sum of money were pretty nice for Vera to keep her basic needs in her budget.

Arthur nodded in acknowledgement to Viktoriya's thanks for his greeting and for his party hospitality while remarking with the same cordial smile on his lips from before
"You are very welcome, Ms. Romanova. Please do feel free to partake of the refreshments with your parents and butler until the main course dinner banquet is brought in later. I will be with you shortly after making the rounds."
With that, their exchange was complete and he watched briefly as Viktoriya and her family took him up on his offer and went to wait by one of the tables with the refreshments on them and to pick some of them up to eat and drink while waiting for the main course. After that, the other guests also dispersed to various areas of the grand hall with the many different types of refreshments on them, so Arthur and his family started making the rounds, engaging in various conversations with each of the guest families, again in alphabetical order. It took a while, but finally, Arthur and his parents made their way over to where Viktoriya, her parents, and their butler were standing. Upon reaching closer, Arthur noticed their butler Godfrey asking to hold the gift that Viktoriya had in her hands currently, so he discreetly signaled to his parents who understood the meaning and thus, excused themselves politely to go up to the stage with the large piano on it and made an announcement
"Alright, now that everyone has had a chance to settle in, we do sincerely hope everything has been to your liking thus far. Furthermore, regarding any gifts that you, our honored guests may have brought to give on this happy occasion, please feel free to lay them upon the table in the center of the room at your leisure."
Of course, there was no table there just yet, but Arthur's father pressed a button on his smartwatch and the large oval panel in the center of the room slid back, revealing another authentic antique, delicately hand-carved and decorated table complete with the festive decoration for the birthday party rose up out of the space in the floor and came to a halt once it was in full view. Then the floor closed back up securely under it, leaving no obvious sign that there was any hidden mechanism like that at that spot.
Without missing a beat after that little show, Arthur headed towards Viktoriya's family and started to engage them in the usual cordial conversation that could be found at such high-brow occasions
"Please do accept my sincere apologies for the delay in coming to attend to your family, Mr. Romanov, Mrs. Romanova, and Ms. Romanova. My parents will be with us shortly as well. Is there anything you require in the way of additional refreshments or entertainment to be brought in at this point? If so, all you need to is ask and I shall arrange for it accordingly."
He asked with the same cordial smile on his face in that same rich, resonant baritone and melodious tone which was natural to his voice which had a distinct British-Japanese mixed accent to it and then fell silent, awaiting whatever reactions and responses they might have to his introductory remarks. While he was waiting, he pressed a button on his smartwatch, which sent a remote signal to the waitress maid squad members who were awaiting their instructions, and then they started streaming in slowly and steadily with each of them expertly holding sterling silver platters each of which had a handful of special order Swarovski crystal goblets filled with champagne, various top-tier vintage wines, and of course soft drinks for the minors among the party guest's children. They then started making the rounds towards Viktoriya's family as well as the other guests in the hall and began to offer them beverage refreshments they could take if they so desired it.

Hearing the words from Uther that a table in the center had a label which said gifts to be placed on it, Viki turned to Godfrey as the old butler nodded to her before going over to the center table to place the gift as informed. A short time later, Godfrey returned to her family’s side where he would happily take a glass of champagne to drink from a maid offering them beverages. Both Ivan and Elizabeth took two glasses of wine while Viktoriya would gratefully take for herself, a glass filled with lemon lime soda.[break][break]
Arthur asked if there was any additional refreshments or entertainment they needed and that her family could ask. “That would be all, thank you nonetheless. Your parents are very wonderful hosts for the party.” The female heir responded to the Edogawa heir kindly, a little hopeful that she could get to know more about his own parents.

Arthur nodded once more in acknowledgement to Viktoriya's reassurance that they were all well taken care of for the time being and responded
"Ah, very good then, that is heartening to hear, indeed. I shall convey your regards to my parents and..."
Just then, his parents, Uther and Kushinada, came to join him in conversing with Viktoriya and her family as well
"Pardon the delay, Mr. Romanov, Mrs. Romanova, and Ms. Romanova as well. I am Uther Holmes and this is my beloved wife and co-CEO of the business conglomerate ran by our family. It's a pleasure and honor to meet all of you."
Arthur's father introduced himself thus and then Arthur's mother, in turn, introduced herself as well
"And I am Kushinada Holmes, it is both a distinct pleasure and a honor to meet all of you as well. Both of us and Arthur look forward to getting to know all of you better in the days to come and thus we..."
She was about to say more, but then a brief beeping noise was heard from somewhere on Arthur's person and so, he touched a spot behind his ear to activate the mini-Bluetooth comm. device that he was wearing to listen to the message given from it and then apologized to Viktoriya and company
"Ah, my apologies, please do feel free to continue this conversation without me, it would appear I must excuse myself temporarily to handle...a...situation that has unfortunately cropped up tonight. I shall return soon to your side so that we three may continue to entertain all of you further."
Arthur informed them with a brief bow along with an apologetic smile on his face and after briefly whispering to his parents, he pressed a button on his smartwatch, causing a panel in the floor behind him to open up, awaiting him to drop down into the space below.

Arthur’s parents had come over to her family’s side to introduce themselves where they were both co-owning a conglomerate together. “A pleasure to meet you both, my name is Ivan Romanov and my wife here, Elizabeth, is the co-owner of our company. Before I inherited it from my own father though, I was a decent prosecutor who lived in England with my relatives before coming back to Russia after the Soviet Union collapsed.” Ivan bowed before the couple in respect as the man replied to their introduction.[break][break]
Elizabeth curtsied towards Uther and Kushinada as her response came after her husband’s. “My family was in the House of Lords, so I believe most of our members were barristers working for the British courts. I think we will all get along so splendidly, Mrs. Holmes!” Looking up to notice that something stopped Mrs. Holmes mid-reply, the noblewoman was reassured from Uther and Kushinada’s son that Arthur will be back shortly for a task to finish.[break][break][break]
Viktoriya could hear the chatter of other rich families talking with one another though she could talk with Arthur’s parents while their son was off doing business. For now, she would listen to the conversation between the parents.

After explaining the situation to his parents discreetly and assuring them as well as Viktoriya and her parents that he would be back before too long, Arthur leaped backwards nimbly and dropped down into the space that had opened up behind him, closing the floor panel behind him. Once that was done, the secret passageway transported him swiftly over to the security maid squad's departmental HQ within the estate wherein he was met by the head of the security maid squad, a young woman named " Sakuya Miyamoto" who was also in her early 20s and who was a world class martial arts practitioner ( both of the weapon and non-weapon varieties).  "Apologies, Master Edogawa, for disrupting your evening festivities as I do realize this is your momentous 19th birthday. However, I felt that these intruders must be dealt with swiftly and without mercy for the crime they have committed in trespassing on your property and also for attempting to steal the research data hidden away in the technology department's archives and so..."Arthur nodded, waving Sakuya's apology off and reassuring her that he did not mind the interruption "Not to worry, you have not disrupted anything in the slightest, Sakuya. After all, these vermin DO indeed deserve punishment for their unforgivable insolence, and not to mention that research data is invaluable to the success of this upcoming business deal between us and the Romanov family..."He paused for effect there briefly and then continued his remarks "Furthermore, allow me to correct you in one aspect of your report...this estate...and everything in it is not only my property and that of my family, but also that of you, your subordinates, and everyone else who works for us. Do I make myself clear? You are ALL equally valuable parts of my household. Now then, onto the business at hand, give me a rundown of what the ground situation is right now between our forces and those of the intruders."As he spoke thus, Arthur could see the surprise briefly flicker in Sakuya's eyes but it went away as quickly as it had come and she was once again focused on the task at hand and to his query she started reporting "As for now, the enemies have managed to break through the first defensive line of the estate and are on the way to the second as we speak, so they do possess some modicum of training in this regard. My Group E subordinates are en route to intercept them under the command of Commander Alfred as we speak. I stayed behind here on his orders to keep you abreast of all incoming situational developments and also to relay your instructions to them in turn. Given their numbers and tactics thus far, I do believe employing a hammer and anvil counterstrike will suffice to deal with them."Arthur listened intently to Sakuya's report and nodded while giving Sakuya the green light for employing the strategy she suggested, but modifying it a little while also giving a strict warning "Indeed, though I would suggest that we modify your plan a little and instead go with a trident formation for our counterstrike. That way, they will have no quarter to which they can retreat safely as the only waiting for them in the rear are the automated defenses of the estate. Most importantly, however, I will NOT tolerate any deaths whatsoever among our ranks or among the intruders!! Is that understood?!"In response, he saw Sakuya nod once and relay his instructions accordingly to the security maid squad members handling communications relays a few feet away from her in a swift and precise manner. ------- Meanwhile at the party, Arthur's parents ( i.e., Uther and Kushinada) were listening intently to what Viktoriya's parents, Ivan and Elizabeth, were narrating to them about their background. At the end, Arthur's father ( i.e., Uther) nodded in acknowledgement and remarked with a cordial smile and respectful bow of his own to Ivan, aka Viktoriya's father "Ah, I see, I had heard of a legendary prosecutor of prodigious talent that many fondly refer to as "The Prince of Prosecutors" when me and my family were dwelling in England back in the day. So then, that was you, eh Mr. Romanov? What an honor it is to stand in the presence of such a famous professional. As for me, my family hails from a long line of famous mystery authors, business magnates, and well-known detectives who were all based in London, England as far back as my family records go. As for me, I was a decent mystery novel writer and competent police detective before I retired from that line in order to inherit and begin running this business conglomerate that I had inherited from my own father, not unlike yourself, though not exactly in the same field of course." Besides them, as Arthur's mother ( i.e., Kushinada) saw Viktoriya's mother, Elizabeth, curtsy to her, she returned the favor by curtsying to Elizabeth as well and also by concurring with her and describing her own ancestry as well "The House of Lords, you say Mrs. Romanova? My, that's quite the illustrious ancestry you have then. I too believe that we shall all get along swimmingly and as for my own heritage, my family hails from a long line of famous Japanese mystery authors, business magnates, as well as even famous warlords if one goes further back in the records. Currently, a fair few of our family are working in the National Diet of Japan, so like you I too have come from a rather privileged stock in the same manner as my husband." |

A chuckle came from Ivan as he replied to Uther. “Yes, I was the “Prince of Prosecutors” back when my career was at its prime. For a man with good lineage of being a police detective and a mystery novel author, you have my own respect.” He rarely smiled though there were maybe some instances where a family member could see him smile at something that was an accomplishment. [break][break]
Elizabeth’s eyes lit up at the mention of her new acquaintance’s lineage and responded back once Kushinada was done talking. “My, it does look like you have history within your own family. I hope you’d get to talk with the family members who work at Japan’s Diet.” While Viki’s parents were having a very nice talk with their prospective business partners, the heiress would be wondering off to the courtyard’s garden outside.
Seeing a wooden practice sword at a rack where the other practice weapons were kept, she would take it to use for her training session with the art of fencing. Every thrust she made was precise and calculated with her movements flowing with the breeze. A sudden noise made her jumpy and with the wooden sword in her hand, she called out to whoever intruded onto her own time alone and got ready to strike.[break][break]
“Who’s there? It’s so impolite to scare a lady like that.”

In response to Ivan's praise, Uther smiled in return and graciously accepted it while tanking him
"You honor me with such high praise, Mr. Romanov. I do believe we shall both get along splendidly henceforth, so here's to a long and mutually rewarding friendship between us and our respective families."
Meanwhile, Kushinada responded to Elizabeth's remarks with a friendly smile as well and mirrored her her husband, Uther, in his wish
"Indeed, it is quite the weighty one, to be sure. However, I bear it proudly and of course, I do get to meet those members of my family who are members of the Japanese Diet, albeit more infrequently than I would like, but such are the hectic schedules of those who rule from on high, I suppose. here's to a long and mutually rewarding friendship between us and our respective families, Mrs. Romanova."
Just then, Arthur returned to the grand hall after the matter of the intruders was settled for the most part, this time striding in thru the giant, heavy, and ultra-solid doors that guarded the entrance to said chamber. As he made his way through the throngs of guests, he made sure to make light conversation before disengaging at each step as he was met by said parties among the guests. Ultimately, he made his way back to where his parents, Uther and Kushinada, were conversing with Viktoriya's parents, Ivan and Elizabeth. Upon arrival, he noticed that said young heiress was missing from the scene and so he gave his parents an inquiring look to which they responded
"She must have gone to explore the grounds, perhaps. There happens to be a gentle, cool breeze tonight after all...and there is quite the enthralling to look at full moon as well, son. We trust you can handle the matter from here on, so sally forth and come back with the princess."
Arthur nodded while respectfully bowing to Ivan and Elizabeth and reassuring them just in case they were worried at all
"Please do not worry, Mr. Romanov and Mrs. Romanova, I shall find young Ms. Romanova and bring her back safely and as swiftly as possible after she is finished doing whatever she has set out to do."
With that, he took his leave the same way as he did the first time by opening up a panel in the floor and leaping down through it and programming the passageway to lead him off to the majestic, expertly arranged, and considerably spacious courtyard. It did not take him long to arrive there, but since the hidden trapdoor which served as the exit to this version of the passageway was located right beneath the large alabaster sculpted water fountain right beside, he ended up popping up out of the space created by the entire fountain setup sliding off to the side with a ponderous dragging noise that cut through the still night air. Consequently, he startled Viktoriya unwittingly which led to him being less than an inch away from her outstretched wooden sword. So, he quickly did a basic sword-catch technique on the wooden sword she was currently pointing at him and smoothly shifted it to the side without missing a beat before stepping out fully into the moonlight while apologizing
"Ah, it would appear that I have made the faux pas of startling you, albeit unwittingly, Ms. Romanova. Please, forgive me for being such a boor towards you in this manner."
As he spoke thus, the naturally rich baritone, resonant, and melodious tone of Arthur's voice caused it to linger ever so briefly in the air due to its stillness. After that, he fell silent, let go of her wooden sword, and stepped away a couple of paces so as to put a respectable degree of distance between them as per the usual social norms that he had been taught during his high society etiquette lessons.
