Cross Rose Requiem

If it is said that in the past five years, the only thing that Ram can be proud of is probably only successfully putting the rose ring on Duke Victor's finger, and hugging him eight times—although each time, he will suffer a lot. punishment.

And he has also stepped from 20 years old to 25 years old, and his temperament is even more outstanding.

And Duke Victor has also entered the middle age of 50 years old.A middle-aged gentleman, wrinkles crept up his cheeks quietly, and in his meticulous golden hair, traces of white hair were occasionally found.Even so, the duke's temperament is more dignified and stable.

In the eyes of the London aristocrats, this great nobleman became more and more charming.

In the past five years, not only the Duke and Ram have changed.And Maia married into the Manville family, who gave birth to a handsome boy, and Bernie successfully proposed to Emily - although he had a difficult time proposing marriage, thwarted by the other two twin sisters. of.But he was lucky to be Emily's husband, and they continued to serve the Montrose family at the estate.

Butler Anderson, with black hair, turned gray after five years.

In addition, in the past five years, what made Ram extremely unhappy was that he had experienced four assassinations.Then, lucky Ram escaped crisis after crisis and survived.

Ram investigates, but the cunning enemy is always able to wipe out all traces.After Duke Victor knew about it, he was only in contemplation.

He believed that Ram, a villain, would not be killed easily.

Who is going to kill himself?

Ram has been thinking about this question.

So, in the small room upstairs in the west corner, he reopened Dorothy's case.

And the demon, who knew all the truth, watched Ram doing the investigation with great interest.In the end, he found common ground with Dorothy in Dorothy's case.

That is - he and Dorothy love Duke Victor together.

More importantly, Dorothy was assassinated to death before marriage.

So someone didn't want her to marry Duke Victor.In other words, he does not want Duke Victor to get married.

Therefore, the person who killed Dorothy did not want him to stay with the Duke.

However, Maia, who looks the most like Dorothy, did not become the target of assassination.Is it because she is not with the Duke?

In the back of Ram's mind, he quickly glanced at the details of Duke Victor, recalling what happened in the past five years, and in the back of Ram's mind, Sir Salter appeared.

Could it be this annoying businessman?

Could it be that he killed Dorothy and assassinated himself?

Sir Salter, he regards Duke Victor as a noble lover.It's a pity that no one but him can touch the Duke's finger.

"Ram, just trade your soul to me, and I'll tell you the truth." The devil's language bewitched him.

Ram closed Dorothy's case file and said, "I refuse to deal."

The demon "hehe" smiled strangely: "Maybe, like Dorothy, you will be assassinated to death. However, at the moment of your death, I will definitely appear and make a deal with you. At that time, I believe, You will never refuse me."

The young nobleman smiled coldly: "Unfortunately, you will be disappointed by this. I will personally capture the assassin and send him to hell."

The devil said, "Him?"

Ram said, "Yes, he."

The demon "Jie Jie" smiled strangely: "Then I wish you good luck."

Ram: "Thank you, luck is always with me."

For this, the devil looked forward to it even more.

Before leaving the room in the west corner building, Ram asked one last question: How did the demon who couldn't leave the manor know the truth?Dorothy was poisoned at the feet of Jesus in the church.

The devil replied: It is the obsession deep in Dorothy's soul. She instilled the memory into the depths of the devil's mind.

Because, she always believed that there were demon legends circulating in Montrose Manor.Therefore, the demon saw the truth from her memory and knew who the real murderer was.

And Ram, because he could actually see it, at the last moment of his death, no matter where he was, the demon would appear.In this way, the transaction can be carried out.

This discovery was made by the old prince 200 years ago.But in the end, the old duke refused to deal with him, and in the hospital he grew old and died.

The devil said: "That poor girl finally saw me when she died. She told me how she wished to see someone who could be by Duke Victor's side, love him, and accompany him until death."

Saying that, the demon stretched out his finger and touched Ram's forehead.

Suddenly, in the back of his mind, Ram saw Dorothy.This green-eyed girl seemed to have appeared in her dream.That dream is so warm...

Ram said: "Your last wish, Ram accepts."

Then Dorothy smiled, took Ram's head in her hands, and placed a kiss on his forehead.Then, the memory brought by the last ray of soul disappeared completely.

Duke Victor sometimes wondered why Sir Salter didn't marry a good wife.Today, in a London café, he finally asked the question.

Like Duke Victor, Sir Salter is entering middle age.This businessman, with time and age, has become more poised and capable.You never know if this businessman who is making the business bigger and bigger is counting your pocketbook.

To Duke Victor's questioning, Sir Salter said: "Victor, the one I love, has become someone else. Therefore, I cannot love anyone."

Duke Victor nodded lightly: "But your estate needs an heir."

Looking at the silver ring on Duke Victor's finger, he asked, "What about you? Montrose Manor also needs an heir."

The Duke of Victor replied: "Montrose Manor has never lacked heirs."

The Montrose family is a big family.Not only him, but also the relatives of the Montrose family who created their own industry outside.Therefore, the estate never lacks heirs.

As for the duke's title, unfortunately, no one can inherit it.

Duke Victor was in a clear mood. He was probably the last Duke in the Montrose family.

Sir Salter took a sip of coffee, and he looked deeply at the Duke: "Victor, I want to know why you accepted Ram's ring."

Two years ago, Duke Victor had a silver ring on his finger.And on Ram's finger, there is the same ring.This shocked the whole circle of high society.

Everyone thought that Duke Victor "raised" Ram.Because, someone thought, Ram and Dorothy looked a little alike.

But they didn't understand why he wanted to marry Maia. Wouldn't it be best if she could become the mistress of Montrose Manor and give birth to the future little duke?

Everyone guessed, but no one dared to ask.

Because, Ram is terrible.This kind of horror is based on his method of killing people without blinking an eye.

In the first two years, the London real estate property of the Montrose family was calculated. Afterwards, he not only sent the nobleman to prison, but also tortured him to death.

So far, no one dared to attack the huge industry of the Montrose family.Of course, some people are close to him, and others are naturally alienated from him.But in the eyes of the noble lady, he is still a charming gentleman.Even if he wears the same ring as Duke Victor on his finger.

When the nobles thought that Duke Victor "raised" Ram, only Sir Salter knew that it was Ram, the poisonous snake, coiled on Duke Victor.

In eight years, the boy in the slums has now become a terrible youth.

Sir Salter wanted to know why Duke Victor had chosen Ram.

When Duke Victor asked him a question, he only glanced at the ring on his finger, and said coldly, "Jeremiah, this is a boring question."

Ser Salter said, "Maia is a good girl, and it is a pity she cannot stay with you."

Duke Victor's dark blue eyes looked at the old friend: "Jeremiah, you know that I can't fall in love with Maia."

Yes, the Duke cannot be in love with Maia.That is why the Sir sent her to his side, hoping to bring the Duke out of his grief.But the existence of Ram broke everything he imagined.

Oh, what a mess.

Sir Salter poured himself another cup of coffee and said, "Victor, Ram will bring disaster to the Montrose family."

Duke Victor replied: "Yes, he is an out-and-out villain."

"I don't want to hear about your accident."

"Jeremiah, Ram is just my dog."

After thinking about it, Sir Salter suggested: "Victor, as long as you need, I will help you and let Ram leave the manor."

Duke Victor looked at the businessman and said seriously: "Thank you, my friend."

A cafe in summer is always a good place to go.The two chatted all afternoon.It reminded Sir Salter of their youth.At that time, the youthful Duke was so eye-catching, he was like a treasure, and people couldn't take their eyes off.

At that time, the 20-year-old Duke Victor was so young and handsome.

But now, at the age of 50, he is even more attractive.

Whether it was before or now, in the eyes of Sir Salter, Duke Victor will always be a noble existence.

The two gentlemen were still chatting when Ram arrived at the café.He stepped forward and said politely, "Duke, Sir Salter."

The Duke picked up his bowler hat and stood up, and Ram handed him his stick, which he took and said goodbye to Sir Salter: "It was a pleasure to spend tea time with you. Goodbye, friend."

Sir Salter stood up: "Goodbye, Victor."

So, he watched Ram and Duke Victor leave with complicated eyes.

After getting into the carriage, Anthony raised his whip and sent the two masters back to the manor.

In the carriage, Ram smiled and said, "Your friendship with Sir Salter is truly enviable."

30 years of friendship, at the beginning, relying on this friendship, the businessman's business can grow.At least, it must be very difficult for a small businessman of the lower class to sell his products to the upper class nobles.

Victor replied coldly: "Jeremiah is a good businessman."

Hearing his words, Ram smiled.

A good businessman, but no longer a good friend?

Hand, can't help holding Duke Victor's hand.The Duke struggled, but failed to open it, so he stopped struggling.

When you are put on a ring on your finger by someone day after day, year after year, no matter how patient you are, you have already taken the trouble and are too lazy to care about it.
