The Vampire King's Mate: The Missing Queen

The World's Greatest Detective

L stepped out of the limo, Light trailing behind him as he winced at the sunlight. 

"You'd think being vampires, they would have a darker home." Light stated as L just walked up to the front door, knocking on the door. After a few minutes, the door opened and a tall man with blonde old fashion hair style  stood at the door, out from the sunlight's beam. 

"...may I help you?" The man asked. L just stared at him. Light cleared his throat.

"My name is Light, and this is-"

"L." L said holding his hand out. Erwin raised an eyebrow and took L's hand. I one swift moment, L pulled Erwin closer and smelt him.

"What-" Erwin breathed out, shocked by his speed.

"You smell of mint and hair gel. I assume you're the king's right hand man." L said then let go of Erwin's hand and moved back. Erwin still looked surprised.

"...how could you tell." He asked.

"Your poster is straight and you stand with confidence. When I pulled you towards me, you instinctintly  tensed and you kept your balance. Most people and vampires would have fallen or stumbled, which suggested you had practice, I'm guessing military training. Most people would have attacked me by now but you kept calm and mostly collected, meaning you've had dealt with patience which makes me believe you were an executer or torturer. There is no such job anymore since the war between the humans and the vampires which makes me think you could be retired, but that's not it. You must remain in the castle, not as a butler, nor a gardener. That would be foolish for a man with your skills. Who else would better fit the side of being the vampire king's right hand man." L finished without so much as blinking. 

Erwin stared at him in shock, then busted out laughing.

"I expect nothing less than the world's greatest detective. And you could tell all that by my reaction?" He asked amused.

"That and the science of deduction." L stated. Erwin smiled, his fangs showing.

"I like you, please come in, my king is awaiting your arrival." He said moving to let him in. As L came in Light followed behind him.

"And, this is?" He asked gesturing to Light.

"My assistant, every great detectives have one." L said looking around the manor as he walked further in.

"Right." Erwin smirked as he closed the door.

"Please follow me." Erwin said leading L and Light up to Levi's office. He knocked and heard a clear 'Come in.' He opened the door and gestured for L and Light to enter. There sat Levi in at his desk, surrounded by papers and a picture frame of him, Eren, and Marcus. He glared up at L from his paperwork.

"...You must be the famous L. I don't know who your friend is, but I don't give a shit as long as he can help find my Queen." Levi said firmly.

"May I get you anything?" Erwin asked L and Light.

"Two teas and a cake please." L said as he went to sit in a chair, standing in a crouch. Erwin raised an eyebrow.

"Do you mean a slice of cake?" He asked.

"No, he mean's a cake. Like a whole cake." Light sighed as he stood next to L. Erwin smirked before closing the door and left.

"..So L-"

"You had a fight with your wife before he left is that right?" L asked biting his thumb. Levi raised an eyebrow.

"How'd you know that?" He asked curiously.

"You smell of overwhelming regret. I can also see the bruises on your hands, and the scent of freshly painted walls. Normally a man missing his wife would continuously look at pictures of their missing wife or have a piece of their clothes with them. Yet your clothes are disheveled, meaning you haven't entered your room since they've gone missing and you purposely ignore the picture frame of your family on your right." L stated.

"Maybe it just hurts to look at him." Levi glared.

"Not for a vampire to their mate.  It is normal that they will want to be buried in their mate's scent, rarely is it that a vampire would act distant to memories of their mate. Which is why it is more plausible that you feel guilty hence that means something happened the night before he went missing which makes me think it would be a disagreement." L stated simply. Levi looked impressed before frowning.

"...Yes, we had a fight. And I regret it. I wouldn't have started it if I knew." He cut off to hold back a sob.

"Obviously." L said flatly. 

"I would like a list of who was there the night he went missing." L stated.

"....it was my son's birthday party." Levi said frowning. 

"Then we better get started." L said as there was a knock on the door and Erwin came in with two teas and a cake, putting them in front of L. 

"Do you need a chair?" He asked Light. Light shook his head.

"No thank you, I'm fine." He said smiling lightly. 

"Erwin, prepare a copy of the guest list for last night." Levi said firmly, keeping his eyes on L.

"Right away sir." Erwin stated and left. 

"Maybe you'll be able to find Eren." Levi said seriously. Levi sipped on his tea before taking a bite of the cake.

"I am the world's greatest detective for a reason."
