White Masquerade (Part 1)
(Sid x MC) MC name: Melissa
Want some mystery? Here’s one for ya!
Warning: Death scenes! So yes, gruesome scenes!
Summary: Sid was trying to help King Byron for information about killing of criminals. Apparently, King Byron had found death of criminals when he got the the crime scene. He asked Sid to find some information on who killed those criminals. But the more he found, the more bewilder it gets...
______________
“That’s all?” Byron asked.
“Yes, Your Majesty,” Albert said. “The criminals that murdered Duke Henry was dead when we got there. We also found this.” Albert handed a envelop contained several papers. “Those are the evidence that this criminal had murdered Duke Henry.”
Byron frowned, “Someone got there before us again.”
Albert lowered his head, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Byron scanned the paper and stood up, “Al, send me Sid here please.”
Albert blinked in confusion but quickly nodded, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Hey, tomorrow is your day off, right?” Sid asked.
I smiled, “Yes. Is there something you would like to go?”
“How about you come over to my manor tomorrow? We could do something fun,” Sid winked.
I gasped, “Jess! I missed her already!”
Sid rolled his eyes, “You ruined the mood!”
I giggled and kissed him, “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Sid smirked, “See ya.”

When Sid got home, he saw Sir Albert was already outside of his manor. Frowning, Sid walked up to Albert.
“You need some-” Sid started but Albert cut him off.
“King Byron need to see you. Now.”
Sid frowned even deeper, “Man, if he’s calling me that late...”
Albert scowled, “Yes, I know. I will increase the expenses.”
Sid smirked, “A deal is a deal.”
______________
Byron handed Sid the envelope. “The criminal who murdered Duke Henry was killed by someone unknown.”
Sid read the content, “Isn’t this person unknown did the same for the last few criminals?”
Byron frowned, “I’m not so sure. That’s why I need you to investigate this for me. Starting tomorrow.”
Sid widen his eyes, “H-hold up! Tomorrow is an exception!”
Albert frowned, “And why’s that?”
Sid sighed, “Tomorrow, the princess has her day off and I want to spent the day with her. So, no. I can’t do tomorrow.” Sid stood up.
“I will increase you expenses.” Byron tried to persuade Sid.
Sid shook his head, “no means no.”
“Alright then. You start tonight if you can’t do tomorrow,” Byron said.
Sid looked at Byron with disbelief, “Tonight?”
Byron nodded, “I want to track where this mystery person is. I want to know who and why he would do this.”
Sid sighed, as if a signal that he had lost, “Fine. I’ll start tonight. But tomorrow is a no.”
Byron nodded, “Do what you see fit.”
Sid nodded, and both had made an agreement.

Sid frowned as he looked at the evidences of what happened to the criminals. All the death of the criminals has one thing in common: They were killed in a specific manner. All were brutally killed, which involves lots of blood spill. The death are normally caused by a dagger, either stabbed on the chest or sliced through the abdomen. But certain death contained poison in the dead’s body.
“The poison may be an act that if the person hasn’t died from the attack yet or to make sure that person is actually dead. If he wants to make sure that the criminals are really dead, then that means... he doesn’t want his idenity to be discovered.” Sid thought to himself. “But why would he kill those criminals?”
As the night falls, Sid had discovered more: The criminals who were killed by the mystery person had either killed another human being that was a father with a family.
However, the more Sid found, the more it doesn’t add up. There were pictures contained the evidence that the criminal had committed the crime. As if the mystery person knew it was coming.
“Why would he take pictures and didn’t save those people who were being murdered? What is he trying to do?” Sid frowned in confusion.
Suddenly he found something when he heard a knock. Sid jumped from the sudden knock. “W-who is it?”
“Sid?” An angelic voice came from the other side, “It’s me.”
Sid stared at the door with disbelief. It’s morning already? I didn’t get any sleep at all!!
Sid opened the door and meet an angelic smile.
______________
I stood at the door as Sid stared at me in confusion. I started to worry, “I-is something the matter?”
Sid quickly replaced his confusion with a smirk and walked to the hallway and closed the door behind him as if he was hiding something, “Nothing. It’s nothing.”
I nodded, knowing he was lying but I will let it slide it for now.
Sid cupped my cheeks and looked at my eyes.
I blinked in confusion, “Sid?”
“Did you sleep well?” Sid asked.
I smiled, “Not really. I was too excited to see you today.”
Sid smirked, “Excited, huh?”
He kissed me softly, “How about we visit the town?” He whispered.
I smiled, “Sure!”
Sid smiled back and held my hand, “Let go.”
Sid and Melissa was walking around the town when they saw a group of people.
“There’s a murder again!” A women exclaimed.
Sid’s eyes widen. It’s the murder? Is it the same person who caused it?
Sid hurriedly went to the crime scene, dragging Melissa with him. Once he got there, there was a man laying on a pool of blood.
Sid heard Melissa gasped and she turned around as her face turned pale.
Who did this? and Why?
