Cross Rose Requiem

During the spring horse race, Duke Victor took Ram and Maia to go together.Accompanying servants were Andre Steward and Anthony.

On the day of the Jockey Club, the Duke put on a double-breasted coat dress, waistcoat, leather shoes, black trousers, and a meticulous bow tie on a white shirt.Of course, this naturally requires a cylindrical top hat and a precious cane that represents a status symbol.

It was the first time she came to the lively Jockey Club venue, and Maia was a little happy.This lady, who was becoming more and more ladylike, mustered up the courage to make a pastry for the master of the manor after learning from Emily, and gave it to the Duke.

The duke was very indifferent.Although he never took the initiative to talk to her, as long as she took the initiative to approach, the Duke would not refuse.

Realizing this, her uneasy mood finally calmed down.

Came to the cafe at Newmarket Racecourse, where the gentlemen and ladies of London gathered.Coincidentally, they also met Sir Salter.When the businessman saw the Duke, he walked up with a smile on his face: "Victor."

The great noble with the cane said, "Jeremiah."

Victor comes to watch the spring and autumn races every year.In the past, this old friend would invite him to watch together every year.It's just that he didn't receive an invitation letter from Sir Salter this year.Therefore, the Duke thought that the Jazz would not participate in the Spring Derby this year.So, I made an appointment with Duke William Cavendish to watch it together.

But in fact, the Jazz sent an invitation letter, but Ram tore it up.

Sir Salter said: "I thought you went to inspect the land and the business." The Montrose family had large lands, forests, mines, London estates.Huge wealth accumulated and became more and more.

Duke Victor said: "After the race meeting, I will go to inspect the business."

Sir Salter said with a smile: "At that time, how about coming to my house when you are free and having a cup of afternoon tea from France?" In the past, he often made such invitations to the Duke.

At this moment, Ram interjected, "Duke, Duke William is waiting for you."

Nodding, Duke Victor said, "Jeremiah, if I'm free, I will visit your house."

Then leave and go up to the second floor to find Duke William.

Meeting with Duke William, Duke Victor asked Ram to place a bet.

Ram took a bag of pounds from Butler Anderson and went downstairs to bet.

In England, there is a saying among high-class gentlemen - "Wives, Mistresses, and Stakes Books."

Duke Victor had neither wife nor mistress.But the betting register is indispensable.

Downstairs in the coffee shop, there are leaflets and newspapers for today's Jockey Club, with introductions of horses and jockeys.Those who place bets will judge the horses that can win today based on the events over the years and the leaflets.

Ram once sneaked into the Jockey Club to watch the game.He likes horse racing very much.In addition to his dream of becoming a London policeman, he also had a dream of becoming a jockey.

When Ram was looking at the leaflet and was about to place a bet, Sir Salter came over and said, "Young man."

Ram looked up, and he saluted: "Sir Salter."

In the past three months, as long as he was looking for Duke Victor, the young man always found a reason to separate them.Sir Salter said with a smile: "Ram, my company has a good position. As long as you want, I can let you leave Montrose Manor. I believe Victor will not refuse me."

The smile on Ram's face remained unchanged: "Thank you Sir, as a loyal servant, unless the Duke abandons you. Ram will not betray his master."

Sir Salter said: "It seems that Victor has found himself a good servant."

Ram thanks.

Sir Salter continued: "Ram. Victor and I have known each other for many years. We are like brothers, so I hope you will not play those little tricks. These are of no good use to you."

Ram replied with a polite smile: "Sir Salter, please don't misunderstand my loyalty to the Duke. Protecting the Duke is one of Ram's duties as a servant."

Sir Salter reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "In that case, I wish you good luck."

After speaking, Salter left and went upstairs with another businessman.

After the Jazz left, Rahm continued to read the flyers.When he was about to place a bet.A sarcastic voice came: "Look, who do I see."

Ram said in his heart: Today's luck is really terrible.

So, he turned to Arnold and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Arnold."

He was not humble and said nothing, although he still had a young face, but the short-cut hair looked very neat, and the vest shirt he was wearing was very clean and tidy.There is a young master-like temperament on his body.

If he hadn't known that Ram was a servant of Montrose Manor, Arnold would have almost doubted which young master he saw.In just over three months, Ram's transformation surprised him.

Arnold stepped forward, looked at Ram with disdain and said, "Ram, you are like a beggar in gorgeous clothes. You cunning rascal, you don't need a middleman."

This difficult young master is a headache. Regarding his sarcasm, Ram replied: "Master Arnold, you should maintain your dignity, instead of haggling with a servant like me. In this way, you will only lose your identity."

After speaking, Ram turned to place a bet.

Arnold was proud, but when he realized that Ram "called him" a villain, he was furious.

Ram bet all his pounds on a horse.After that, go upstairs.Just before the start of the jockey meeting, he followed his master downstairs to the racetrack outside to watch the horse race.

Most of the spectators at the Jockey Club were dignitaries from London.It is difficult for inferior people to enter such a grand occasion.

Ram was lucky, he bet on the horse.Won fifteen hundred pounds for the duke.After a morning's jockey meeting, the Newmarket horse racing venue gradually ended.Ram, who won the bet for the duke, was rewarded with five hundred pounds.

This was the first money that Ram had gotten at such a young age.

Duke Victor looked at him.He found that Ram was calm and calm.Not only did the boy not show a greedy expression, he was also not excited.He just smiled and thanked him.

Duke Victor was pleased with the teenager's performance.

After collecting the first sum of money, Ram made a request to visit Duke William on the way back to the manor.Duke Victor agreed.

It seemed that Ram didn't care whether he would escape or not.

Because, for Duke Victor, this boy who crawled out of the slums, for now, would not betray him.Therefore, he was not worried about whether Ram would escape.

After returning to the manor, Bernie quietly found Ram and asked him about the Jockey Club.When he learned that Ram had won sterling for the Duke, he couldn't help but enviously said: "Ram, your luck is really good."

Ram said proudly, "Of course. Please call me Lucky Ram!"

The demon that appeared sneered, "It's the cowardly Ram!"

Bernie said enviously: "If only I could get five hundred pounds!" Five hundred pounds would buy him a lot of good food and good clothes.

Ram patted him on the shoulder and said, "There will be such a day, my friend."

He then went to the library to write a visiting letter to Duke William Cavendish.Soon, he received a reply.

Knowing that he was going out to visit for the first time, Butler Anderson arranged an outfit for Ram.The young and handsome boy has become more temperamental after being handled by the old housekeeper.

Three days later, Ram bid farewell to the Duke.

Before leaving, he boldly took the Duke's hand and kissed it, then went downstairs.

Downstairs, after Ram got into the carriage, Anthony swung his whip and drove the carriage to Chatsworth Manor.

"Rahm and the Duke are becoming more and more similar." In the kitchen, Emily said, who was making snacks.The image in her mouth is not in appearance.But temperament and language.

Perhaps it was because Ram was taught by the Duke himself?

"Since Ram came, the Duke doesn't seem so lonely." Rowling said with a smile.

"That bastard will become a noble person in the future," said the irascible Katie.

The triplet maid talks about Ram.A green-eyed boy who looks a bit like Miss Dorothy.But Miss Maia is the more similar one, isn't she?But the Duke was even more indifferent to Miss Maia.

Bernie, who came over quietly smelling the fragrance, hid outside the door.Hearing the words of the triplet maid, Bernie screamed in his heart: Ram is a devil!

Anthony drove the carriage all the way to Chatsworth Manor.When he arrived at the manor, the servants of the manor asked him to enter, and then led him to the living room.

Ram entered and found a group of nobles inside.

Duke William said: "Ram, today is your lucky day."

As soon as Ram heard it, he understood—to get in touch with the upper class nobles, to blend in with them, and to become a part of them.

Ram thanked politely: "Thank you, Honorable Duke William."

Duke William then introduced Ram to the noble gentlemen.Said he was the noble young master of Montrose Park.

Noble gentlemen, you are interested in Ram's identity.Seeing the color of Ram's eyes and Dorothy's somewhat similar face, some people couldn't help guessing whether this was the illegitimate child of Duke Victor Montrose and Dorothy.

Although he really wanted to know Ram's true identity, the first nobleman, Duke William Cavendish, said this. He believed that this noble boy would become one of them in the future.

Ram's performance was better than Duke William had imagined.This made Duke William couldn't help but suspect himself: Ram was originally a nobleman.

In the morning gathering, the gentlemen and nobles chatted about what happened in London.Ram learned some secrets from these people.These are things that have never existed before.This also means that this group of nobles accepted him.

After lunch at noon, everyone came to the game room.In the games room, the Duke of William laughed and told Rahm: "There's a Game of Thrones tonight."

After hearing this, Ram couldn't help looking forward to it.He had a vague feeling that the "Game of Thrones" at night would bring him something.

Of course, he finally really began to come into contact with the upper-class aristocratic society.He will definitely seize this opportunity.
