Cross Rose Requiem

In the newspaper, there is news about Ram.

At the police station, the two slum gentlemen confessed to taking bribes.Presumably, when the suspicious gentlemen read this newspaper, they no longer questioned Ram's identity.

Two days have passed since the Montrose Manor banquet, and Ram was locked in the basement for two days and two nights.No one was allowed near him without the duke's permission, except Anthony who brought him food.

In the manor, no one would dare to disobey the Duke's words, even Butler Anderson.

Like Ram, this old butler is loyal to the master of Montrose Manor.

In the afternoon, the countess visited.

In the sunny living room full of flowers, Duke Victor entertained the lady well.

"Victor, I'm sorry, Arnold made a fuss at the manor."

Earl Friedrich was very angry at what his third son had done. Now, he is confined to the earl's castle and is not allowed to step out to play.

Duke Victor said: "My dear sister, please don't say such things. You are the lady of the Montrose family."

The Countess looked at the rose garden outside, and she felt nostalgic for everything in Montrose Manor.She said, "Victor, I want you to marry a lady and have children."

Duke Victor replied: "Thank you, I will consider it."

The countess continued: "Victor, there is a place for Ram at the London newspaper."

Duke Victor replied: "Rahm will stay at the manor."

The countess looked at her brother, and she asked, "Victor, I want to know, why did you leave Ram in the manor?"

Duke Victor smiled, but did not answer.

Maybe I and this brother are getting farther and farther away, so they will become strangers.

The Duchess didn't ask any more, she believed in Victor.

After staying in the manor for afternoon tea, the Countess took her leave.

After the banquet, in the end, the oil portraits of the three Dukes were not painted.

Ram was released five days later.

Poor Ram, covered in welts.Anthony sent him back to the room, and the old housekeeper found a doctor for him. Maia sat on the bedside, her eyes were full of tears, and she held Ram's hand with both hands, with a painful expression on her face.

Turning his head to see Maiya's expression, Ram comforted: "Maia, you should be happy for me."

"Why?" asked the poor girl.

Ram said: "Because, the Duke understands my heart."

Maia was startled, her eyes and mouth widened - so, this was Ram's punishment.Because, the duke doesn't accept his feelings.

For a moment, Maia felt sorry for him.

Ram continued: "Maia, I am very happy with the Duke's punishment." It would be terrible if there was no punishment.

Maia said melancholy: "Ram, what if the Duke can't accept your feelings in this life?"

Ram smiled and said, "Lam is content to stay by his side."

Maia is overwhelmed by his affection.She smiled wryly, "You are such an idiot."

Ram said softly: "Maia will also meet a gentleman who loves her."

A doctor from London cleaned and treated Ram's wounds.Poor guy, he won't be able to go out for a long time.And the Duke, as before, acted as if the events of the night of the banquet did not exist.

A month later, the wound on Ram's body healed.He served the Duke as before, the difference was that every night he said "Victor, good night." Then, he kissed the Duke good night on the forehead.

The duke is restrained and even begins to find beautiful young ladies for him on dates.

In this regard, Ram readily accepted his kindness.

In a cafe in the city of London, Ram had a date with a famous lady in front of him at the kindness of Duke Victor.This well-educated and good girl, like other noble ladies, wears a long skirt, a tight waist, gloves and an umbrella.

Ram smiled and said, "It's a pleasure meeting you, Miss Triss."

The lady's father was an extremely wealthy factory owner.

Trissy's beautiful red lips have a temptation to attract men. She said: "Master Ram, you are young and attractive. Many women regard you as a prince."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness."

"Ram, if you want to stay. I mean, become my lover, then you will inherit half of my father's property."

"It was a real surprise."

"so--"

"But, sorry, Miss Triss, I cannot accept your love."

"why?"

"Because I already have a lover."

Triss covered her mouth in shock.Ram stood up, he took her hand and left a kiss: "Thank you for your date, goodbye."

So Ram left the cafe.

Through the busy street, Ram came to a shop.The store is filled with precious jewellery.Walking to the counter, Ram explained his purpose.

"Please make me a pair of silver rings."

Then, he took out a drawing.On the drawing, there are a pair of rose rings, on which are written the size of the rings and the inner lining letters.

The shopkeeper, biting a pipe, took it after seeing Ram Montrose's signature on the drawing.He knew that this was an upstart in London's upper class recently.

After taking down the pipe, the shopkeeper said, "In half a month, I will send the ring to Montrose Manor."

Ram thanked: "Thank you." Then, he paid and left the shop.

Ram was about to hire a carriage to go back to the manor.A creepy feeling crept up his back.The moment he felt that way, he turned his body sideways.

With a "bang", there was a gunshot, and the assassination bullet grazed Ram's head and hit the head of the man in front.The man's head exploded, and he fell to the ground and died instantly.

In an instant, people on the street screamed.Mixed with the flow of people, Ram dodged under the shop, then drew out his gun and chased in the direction of the gunshots.

Sadly, his murderer seems to have learned that he failed and fled.

Pulling the gun back to his waist, Ram got into a carriage and said, "Go to Montrose Manor."

"Drive—" the coachman flicked his whip, and the horses ran away, leaving the city of London.

"Ram, let's play a game."

In the evening, in the rose garden, the devil stood on the branch with his wings flapping.Ram quickly fired a bullet at it from the gun at his waist.

The demon who caught the bullet "hehe" smiled strangely: "After you came back, you have been practicing drawing your gun—well, or, you have been thinking. I guess, did you propose to the lady you are dating?"

The bullet fell from the devil's fingers like dead branches.

Ram, who continued to practice drawing his gun, said: "Someone assassinated me."

The demon flapped his wings, and the leaves rustled: "You are lucky to have survived."

Ram drew out the gun neatly and quickly, and dropped the gun back to his waist.Back and forth, faster and faster.

He replied to the demon: "Yes, I was lucky to survive." He was lucky Ram.

The demon said with great interest: "Oh, let me guess who is going to kill you? Could it be Arnold?"

Ram said: "Arnold is imprisoned in the earl's castle." This poor young master is almost no different from a waste.

"Then who will kill you? Jie Jie Jie Jie..." The devil laughed excitedly.It made it think of Dorothy's death.

And Ram, will he become the next Dorothy?

If so, it will definitely ask Ram to resurrect him when he is on the verge of death.

Ram finally drew back his gun.

He was never late for dinner with Duke Victor.

Ram told no one that he had been assassinated.Did not go to Mr. Detective to investigate.After dinner, he kissed the back of the Duke's hand to say goodbye, and then he put Anthony in the carriage and left the manor.

Summer nights in London were extremely debauched. Recently, the Ripper "Jack" killed another prostitute.But even so, it can't stop people from having fun.

Anthony drove the carriage and sent Ram to the gate of the playground.After that, the young nobleman got out of the car and entered.There he met Mr. Bazel, the biggest news dealer in London.

Mr. Bazel stood up and stretched out his hand to the London upstart - in the underground amusement park, the story of this young nobleman had already been spread. Luckily, Master Ram had never failed in the game.

Mr. Bazel sat down, and the maid poured them two glasses of wine.Picking up the wine glass, Mr. Bazel said to the noble in front of him, "Master Ram, it's an honor to serve you."

Ram picked up the cup, and the two cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound.He said: "There is no better informed man in London than Mr Bazel."

Mr. Bazel: "Thank you for your praise. I don't know what Master Ram wants me to do?"

So, Ram made his request.He asked Mr Bazel to investigate the man who assassinated himself today.

Mr. Bazel put down his glass and said, "I will give you news in five days."

Ram smiled and said, "Looking forward to your news, this is a commission." Ram put a bag of pounds on the table, and Mr. Bazel smiled and asked people to accept it.He likes this generous nobleman, and of course, prefers to make friends with him.

He believed that this noble gentleman would become a very terrifying person in the future.

Ram stayed in the underground playground to drink and play games until the early hours of the morning.

After returning to the manor, he came to the duke's room. With the moonlight coming in from the window, he looked at the sleeping blond nobleman on the bed.Then, leaning down, he kissed the Duke tenderly on the lips.

"Good night, Victor."

So he went back to his room next door.

In the manor in the middle of the night, a big full moon hangs in the sky, and the devil flies over the manor with its bone wings.

Then, squat on the top of the manor overlooking the beautiful rose garden under the moonlight.

—Ah, it's a demon.

—Oh, who is it?How did it become a demon?

——Why can’t you leave the manor?

——For many years, it seems to have long been forgotten.

The demon opened his mouth and let out a strange cry of "Jie Jie Jie Jie".
