Cross Rose Requiem

Once the demon thinks, he can't stop scratching his body.Therefore, when he saw the demon scratching his body non-stop for two consecutive days, Ram thought it was sick.

In the Rose Garden, while reading a book, he asked, "Poor guy, are you sick?"

The demon stopped scratching its body. It looked at Ram and asked, "Ram, do you know my name?"

Ram put down the book. He said, "No, I don't know."

"Then, who knows my name?"

"God only knows, I guess."

"God? Oh no. I hate God."

"Of course, you are a devil."

"So, I can't ask God."

"Unfortunately, I don't know your name. So, why are you thinking about your own name?"

Yes, why does it think about its own name?This is really a strange thing for a demon.If God knows its thinking, it will definitely laugh at it.

So, should it think?

Should I know my name?

The devil couldn't help scratching his body again.

"Actually, I want to know more, why did you stay in Montrose Manor, why can't you leave here?"

Ram was more interested in the question than in its name.

"Yes, why did I stay at Montrose Manor? Why can't I leave?"

Watching the demon turn his eyeballs to think, his nails kept wrapping around his body.Ram felt that it wasn't so scary anymore.So, he said, "What do these thoughts mean to you?"

The devil's eyeballs turned, and the bone wings on his back moved up and down.It said: "Thinking like this is meaningless to me."

However, it couldn't help thinking.

Last night, while squatting on the Montrose Manor overlooking the rose garden under the moonlight, it suddenly thought for no reason.So, it ran to ask Ram, do you know your name?

This is the first time it has taken the initiative to ask humans its own name.

Ah, god damn it.It hates thinking!

From the window of the game room upstairs, Duke Victor looked into the rose garden, and Ram spoke to the air in front of him.The young nobleman seemed to be speaking to some invisible guest.

Watch, watch.There was a smile on his mouth.

There have always been legends of demons in this manor. My father said that 200 years ago, the Duke of Montrose saw a withered and ugly demon.After the Duke died, no one was seen in the manor again.The legend, however, remained.

When Duke Victor was looking for a good girl for Ram, there were rumors that Ram had a deep love for some reason in the circle of upper-class aristocrats.So, good girls, began to reject Duke Victor's invitation.

This made him extremely unhappy.

In the library, serve tea to the Duke.Ram sat down and asked, "Duke, I'm very interested in the history of Montrose Manor, please tell me."

Poor devil, almost bang his head against the wall.

Crouching on another table, the demon waited expectantly for the Duke to speak.

Duke Victor picked up the tea and said, "You should date the ladies."

Ram's green eyes looked at the noble man in front of him tenderly: "Victor, you know, my love for you."

Duke Victor paused, put down his tea, and looked at the young man coldly: "Ram, if you can't take back your words. Perhaps, one day you will be sent to the slums."

Ram said with a smile: "If you return me to the slums, I will no longer be a thief."

Duke Victor should know this.He is no longer the thief he used to be.Had he been returned to the slums, he would have been worse than the London thugs.

Because he will become the darkest king in London, and those villains and bastards will be loyal to him and become his lackeys.Then, he would play the London nobles with applause, and even the London police couldn't catch him.

Guns and ammunition, the slave trade, and even the opium trade.

Because, Duke Victor knew what kind of disaster would be brought to London if he was released from the manor.And when the time comes, he will plunder the entire Montrose Manor and take Victor Montrose as his own.

In the past year, it's not that Ram hasn't considered getting involved in dirty business.But the Montrose family, the generations of industry, the accumulated wealth, not a single penny is dirty.

So, he interrupted this thought.

So he said, "Victor, you can't abandon me."

But once he leaves here, he will become a real devil.

At this moment, Duke Victor felt a little regret for keeping Ram.He asked the young man indifferently: "I can still kill you."

This is the best way to solve the immediate trouble.

Ram stretched out his hand and stroked the Duke's face. In the depths of his eyes, there was the same tenderness as Dorothy.It was this gentleness that made the Duke unable to avoid his own face.

Rubbing the Duke's cheek with his thumb, Ram said, "Victor, I will be honored to die at your hands." Therefore, no one can hurt him except the man who is like his father in front of him, not even the devil.

The Duke lifted his hand and took it away, disgusted with him.

Retracting his hand, Ram said, "So, please don't arrange for me to go on a date with the ladies again."

The Duke snorted coldly.

Ram continued with a smile: "Dear 'Father,' I want to see the history of the Montrose family."

Duke Victor replied: "Butler Anderson, I will find you what you need."

"Thank you, 'Father'." Ram stood up, approached the Duke, kissed his forehead tenderly and intimately, and then left to find Anderson.

After the demon saw it, he flew after him.

On the way to find Butler Anderson, the demon asked: "Ram, I really want to know why you fell in love with Duke Victor." This is really strange for it.

Rahm replied: "Because he's Victor Montrose."

Oh, what a pity.The devil still couldn't understand.

Ram found Butler Anderson, who told him why he came, and the old butler took him to the oil painting storage room.Then, he turned on a switch, and the wall camouflaged as one with the wall moved, and the bookshelf hidden behind the wall was pushed out with the mechanism.On the bookshelf are the biographies and diaries of the successive dukes of the Montrose family.and some of their valuables.

Leaving the studio space to Ram, Butler Anderson left the oil painting storage room.

Following the year, Ram began to look through it.

And the devil was flying in the oil painting storage room, which was hung with the portraits of the Dukes of the Montrose family. It finally landed in front of a huge portrait, then raised its head to look at the person on the oil painting, and stopped moving.

Start with the biography on the top row.

When he saw the biography and diary of the third duke, he saw that in the diary of the duke named Collins Montrose, there was only a name called "Arthur", a profile of a man, and a piece of Pencil drawing of a rose garden.

The young duke, however, only lived to die at the age of 35.Inside, there are almost no other records, as if they were erased by someone.

He continued to read, and in the diary of the fifth duke, he saw that there was a fire in Montrose Manor, and the manor and rose garden were destroyed.After that, rebuild as is.

Until evening, Ram put the bookcase back into the wall.As he turned around, he saw the demon looking up at a portrait of a duke motionless.

Ram walked over, and he looked up.

A young nobleman who looks somewhat similar to Duke Victor.Look again at the signature on the painting - Collins Montrose.

After watching for a while, Ram turned and left the oil painting storage room, and then locked the door.

At midnight, under the moonlight, the devil flapped its wings and flew to the heights of Victor Manor. It looked down at the rose garden and thought.

The next day, Ram continued to stay in the oil painting storage room to read the history of the dukes.Until, he read the diary of a duke more than 200 years ago.

In the duke's diary, he said that he had seen demons since he was a child, but no one believed him.

As a child, this terrible demon frightened him and played tricks on him.Growing up, the demon asked to sell his soul to it, but he refused him.

Until the old man died, the old duke was still thinking about one question—is it true that there are demon legends circulating in Montrose Manor.But why did the devil stay in the manor?

This is like a huge mystery.

In the rose garden, Ram was drinking tea, and he said to the devil in front of him, "Unfortunately, I can't find your name."

The devil moved his bone wings: "I am a devil."

"Yes, you are a damned demon, a demon without a name."

"what a pity."

After speaking, the demon flapped its bone wings and fell into the depths of the rose garden.

Roses are flying up, this garden planted for someone is so beautiful and mysterious.From the diary upstairs, Ram knew that the rose garden had existed for a long time.

It reminded him of Collins Montrose, the names, portraits, and rose gardens left in the diaries of the mysterious duke.

Three days later, Ram went to London to find Mr. Bazel, the biggest news dealer in London.After five days of investigation, the gentleman left a body still in front of him, saying: "Sorry, honorable Master Ram. Your assassin committed suicide."

In other words, this is the same as the case of Dorothy back then.

No head and no tail.

Unlike Dorothy's case, he survived.

Ram was very dissatisfied with this result.

Half a month later, the owner of the jewelry store delivered the pair of rings in person.After getting the ring, Ram took it to the Rose Garden, where the Duke and Maia were having afternoon tea together.

When he arrived, he took the Duke's hand, and as a matter of course took a ring and put it on his finger.

Maia covered her mouth in shock.

As for the Duke, he took off the ring with an ugly face and smashed it on Ram's face.Ram picked it up with a smile and put it away.

He will still put the ring on the Duke's finger.Then, he sat down and enjoyed afternoon tea with the Duke and Miss Maia.
