Cross Rose Requiem

Chapter 2: The Devil in the Manor

Montrose Manor is one of the most famous manors in London, and it is as famous as the Chatsworth Manor of the great aristocratic Devonshire family.In this manor named after the owner's surname, there is a luxurious banquet every month, and London ladies, ladies and gentlemen will wait for this banquet to show their identity and status.

Ram had heard Bernie's exaggerated description of this manor known throughout London, and in his opinion, such a description was a bit exaggerated.But tonight, the 17-year-old thief was caught in this huge and luxurious manor.

The carriage drove into the manor, and Ram was roughly lifted by the coachman Anthony and thrown into the hall of the luxurious mansion.He got up from the ground in embarrassment, and the moment he looked up, his eyes were attracted by the huge oil painting in the middle of the hall leading to the second floor!

The people in the oil painting are so young and noble!

Even if the entire hall is covered with magnificent decorations, it cannot conceal the youthfulness of the person in the painting.

"This man... this man is the Duke of Montrose!" whispering to himself, Ram recognized Victor Montrose who was around 20 years old!

Even though the duke who captured him looked 35 years old, that face could still be superimposed on the painting.

"Duke, welcome home." The manor housekeeper Anderson appeared, and he respectfully said to the manor owner who entered the door.

The Duke nodded to Anderson, then took off his coat and handed it to him.

"Please move to the restaurant, Emily has cooked delicious dishes for you." Taking the coat, Anderson continued.

"Thank Emily for me, her dinner was delicious," the Duke replied.

"She'll be glad to hear from you." So Anderson put away his clothes and ushered the Duke through a door on the left.

Ram, who was left in the middle of the hall, ran out of the gate at a loose pace.

"Ah—" Ram screamed, and flew back to the hall.He raised his head and looked angrily at the coachman in front of the door.

"Your expression is beautiful. If I were you, I would be better than a dog, and one day I would lick the Duke's shoes and beg him to let me go." Anthony said after putting down the carriage and returning.

"Devil!" Ram was furious!

"Hush—keep your voice down. Be quiet if you don't want your soul eaten by a real demon in the manor." Anthony put his hand on his lips and said softly.

Ram suppressed the anger in his heart. He sat on the expensive blanket and raised his head and said to Anthony: "Let's make a deal, as long as you can let me go."

"Oh? What deal?" Anthony became interested.

"I can sell you all kinds of news from London... Well, you know I'm a thief. Not only can I steal pounds, but I can also steal news from great people. If you want, I can even get news from Her Majesty Steal it!" Depending on his identity, Ram's trade item is anything that can be stolen.

But these things are enough. In London, there are businessmen who specialize in selling news, but these people are controlled by others.Ram, who once wanted to steal information and sell, was almost thrown into the Thames River.

"Although I am very interested in what you stole. However, you should save your deal with the Duke! Now, the place you should stay is the underground prison." After speaking, Anthony grabbed Ram and walked together Go to the little door in the corner.

Ram struggled vigorously with his hands tied!How could Anthony let him escape so easily.Drag people into a small door, inside the door is a path, the wall of the path is full of candles.When they reached the end of the path, Anthony took out the key on his waist and opened the wooden door, and then continued to pull the man into the underground prison.

Being dragged down the stairs, Ram's bones ached from the hard stairs!

"Damn it!" Ram cursed.

The underground prison was very dull, and there was a musty smell in the air.It smelled better than the filth in the mouth of a drunk, better than the water of the Thames.

The underground prison has eight door-to-door iron cells, and Anthony threw Ram into one of the iron cells.At the moment of untying the London thief, Rahm sent a fist from the bottom up to Anthony's jaw.

However, he failed!

Anthony threw his head back to avoid the fist, then grabbed his hair and pulled it, then hit Ram hard in the stomach with his knee.

"Hmm..." Lahm's forehead was sweating, and he knelt down in pain with his stomach in his arms.

"Good night, dear Mr. Thief." After speaking, Anthony locked the door and left the underground prison.

It took a long time for Ram to slowly recover. He lay down on the ground, very unwilling.

Is there any way to escape from this manor?Has Bernie abandoned himself?If it is true, once he leaves here, he must find him and beat him up!

The underground prison is very quiet, so quiet that only the sound of his breathing and the sound of mice crawling!

"Maybe, if I stay in this magnificent manor, I can still steal a million pounds!" Ram comforted himself with some distress.

"If you can trade your soul to me, you can not only get a million pounds but also get out of here."

The sudden sound made Ram turn over in fright, and he was stuck against the wall!

An ugly demon appeared in front of his eyes!

This, this manor really has demons!The coachman didn't lie to him!

"Can you see me?" There was surprise in the demon's voice.

"You, you are a devil!" Ram asked stammeringly.

"You can really see me!" the devil became interested.

God!What a demon is in front of me!

ah!Look at him, he is uglier than the number one devil in the Bible!

It has a pair of bone wings, and its whole body is shriveled than an old woman!

The demon opened his mouth, as if glad someone could see him.

"After 200 years, I meet the human being who saw me again. Look, it's still a 17-year-old kid."

"I hope you are a kind-hearted devil." Ram tensed up, he was a little afraid that the devil in front of him would take his soul!

"No, on the contrary, I am a greedy demon. Besides, your soul attracted me here." The demon stretched out his haggard fingers and stroked Ram's cheek.

"My soul is filthier than the rats in London's stinking sewers!" Seeing the devil's face getting closer and closer, Ram said hastily.

Ram leaned against the wall with his face sideways, his eyes squinting at the devil's hideous face.

"Please let me go!" Ram said loudly.Just when Ram thought he was going to be eaten, the demon opened its mouth and stretched out its long tongue to lick his face.

"Your soul is delicious." Withdrawing his tongue and face, the demon flapped his bone wings and kept a certain distance from Ram.

Ram, who was stuck to the wall, slid to the ground, his legs were weak, and he seemed to be relieved that he could escape the fate of being eaten.

"Dear child, don't make a fuss about my unreasonableness. This is what every devil can't help but do when he meets a delicious soul. If you make a deal with me, you can not only take this manor, but also have inexhaustible riches and beautiful ladies." The demon said in a hoarse voice.

This transaction is full of temptation.

But how can the whispers from the devil's mouth be believed?Ram is cunning and hypocritical, but he is not yet bold enough to believe the words of a demon.

"You're right, it's true. But allow a poor man like me to refuse your deal."

"What a bad boy, you can change your mind at any time."

"No, I won't change my mind!"

The demon let out a strange laugh and disappeared before the darkness. He said, "This manor is interesting because of you." Then he disappeared into the darkness.

Ram curled up in the underground cage, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Ram had a terrible dream. In the dream, countless demons were raging in London, and then his soul was taken away by the demons!

"Hey~ Wake up!" The maid Emily took the bread and water and put them outside the cage, and she beat the iron prison.

Ram, who was deeply in the nightmare, woke up with a start. He opened his eyes wide and saw that the outside of the iron prison was not a demon before he calmed down his racing heart.

"Hi miss, you are so beautiful." Ram said casually.

Emily was delighted by his compliment: "Thank you for your compliment, here is your food today." Then she pointed to the water and bread on the plate.

"Can you tell me your name?" Ram stood up and walked forward to face Emily, then glanced past the prison key in her hand.

"Emily, I'm the maid of Montrose Manor."

"Ram, a poor misunderstood man."

"Anthony said that you are a cunning person. You will not only strike up a conversation with me, but also try to cheat the key from my hand."

Ram showed a pitiful face: "My kind lady, do you think I will cheat you of the key?"

"Anthony told me not to trust you."

"Emily, I just want to be your friend. I don't know if I have the honor?" Ram held out his hand to Emily.

"Of course, I like to make friends." Emily held Ram's hand.

"Mr. Anthony is right, you shouldn't believe me!" Ram pulled the unsuspecting Emily closer, and deftly removed the key from her hand with the other hand.

Emily, whose key was taken away, screamed, "Are you lying to me?!"

"Thank you, Emily. Now, you go to Mr. Anthony, and maybe you can catch the cunning thief." He turned the key in his hand and held it firmly.

After hearing his words, Emily screamed and left.

At the moment she turned around, Ram quickly took the key and opened the cell door for himself, then stepped over the bread and water in front of the door and escaped upwards.

As soon as he stepped out of the underground cell, Ram heard Emily's screams and Anthony's footsteps.He quickly hid himself behind the statue, and after avoiding them, he sneaked up the side stairs to the second floor.

As a thief, this luxurious manor is to him the treasure in the forbidden area.If he could find a golden staff or a precious sword inside, he could spend as much as any other noble boy.
