"Please come in, Detective," the maid beckoned, yet she couldn't help but discreetly glance up at this famous noble detective from Totnes.

So handsome!
That one look sent the maid's heart fluttering, her mind involuntarily captivated as though he possessed a special charm.
"The gentleman has finally arrived!"
A shout startled the maid out of her reverie. Before she could turn around, a large figure stepped out—the owner of the house himself.
