Kazuya Kujo is an exchange student from Japan. While exploring the library he encounters Victorique de Blois. While talking her extravagant brother Grevil arrives and questions Victorique through Kujo about a locked room murder. Victorique sets her mind to the task and comes up with an improbable but entirely logical answer.

Posing as the murdered Soothsayer, Roxane and her servant, Victorique and Kujo have boarded the Queen Merry. Once on board they discover they have fallen into another mystery, this one with deadly intent towards everyone.

The trap closes and the architect behind it is revealed or is he? Victorique picks up on a larger scheme that set much larger things in motion. The question is are the still in motion to this day?

Kazuya witnesses the bizarre beheading of a man riding a motorcycle. While a suspect matching the description Victorique surmised is arrested a new girl joins Kazuya’s school who also matches the description.

The case of the beheaded man is brought to a close after Victorique reveals the true identity of the new student at the school.

Kazuya is stumped by the disappearance of a valuable plate from a local bazaar. At the same time he sees an advertisement in the paper call for all “Descendants of the Gray Wolves” to return to their ancestral home. After telling Victorique about it she insists on going to the town immediately.
