Cross Rose Requiem

After listening to Mr. Ethan's words, Sir Salter comforted: "Don't be afraid, my friend, he is just scaring you."

Mr. Ethan had a painful expression: "Sir Salter, this makes me feel uneasy."

Sir Salter poured Mr. Ethan a glass of wine: "You need a glass of wine to calm down."

Mr. Ethan took it and drank it in one gulp, his restless heart finally settled down a lot."Sir, I don't want to lose everything right now," he said.

"Of course, you have nothing to lose. You are a great artist, and one day people will sing your praises."

"But Ram Montrose crawled into my lair."

"He's just a bug. Mr. Ethan, I'll get this sorted out quickly."

Under the comfort of Sir Salter, Mr. Ethan finally calmed down.Sir Salter kept pouring him wine, and soon he was so drunk that he forgot about Ram Montrose.

Send Mr. Ethan downstairs and hire a carriage to take him back.Sir Salter returned home, took out a pen and paper, and began to write a letter to Duke Victor.

In the woods near Chatsworth House.

Sitting on a horse, Duke William Cavendish and Ram went hunting with a gun.In the woods, an adult male deer sensed that danger was approaching, and it ran quickly.

Ram picked up the gun and aimed at the deer. After a gunshot, the deer fell down.

Duke William applauded him: "Ram, your marksmanship is more accurate than the London police."

Ram smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment."

After that, the two hunted several prey together.As a matter of course, Ram stayed at Chatsworth Manor and had a pleasant dinner.

After dinner, Ram took leave of Duke William.He went to the London Underground, and Mr. Bazel told him: "Ethan Walterport, he went to Sir Salter's house. And, you asked me to investigate the day Miss Dorothy was killed, Sir Salter Where is it? I found out that this knight is missing."

Ram's green eyes were as cold as a poisonous snake, and he said, "Missing?"

Mr. Bazel said: "Yes. He disappeared the day Miss Dorothy died. No one knows where he went. What he did that day."

Mr. Bazel knew that the terrifying noble in front of him might be about to investigate the case of Dorothy's death.

Ram took out the pound and put it on the table: "Thank you, Mr. Bazel."

Mr. Bazel readily accepted: "Master Ram, Bazel is willing to serve you."

So Ram took his hat and left the underground playground.

When they returned to the manor, Duke Victor had already fallen asleep.After Ram entered the room, he walked to the portrait of Dorothy.He said to the young lady in the portrait: "Dear Dorothy, very soon, your case will be revealed."

On the bed, Duke Victor slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Ram's back, then continued to close his eyes and fell asleep.

Ram spoke to the portrait of Dorothy, and after speaking, he smiled, then took off his clothes and went to Duke Victor's bed.Before going to bed, he kissed Duke Victor's soft lips.

His eyes were full of tenderness: "Good night, Victor."

Then, hugged the Duke and fell asleep.

The next day, Ram waited for Duke Victor to get up as usual.

For the past two or three days, Ram felt something strange about Duke Victor.And the source of this feeling was that Duke Victor no longer pushed him out of bed.Therefore, Ram believes, Duke Victor accepted him and fell in love with him.

With such a happy mood, Ram began to hire people and decided to clean up Sir Salter and Mr. Ethan.

At that time, even if Duke Victor interceded, he would not let them go.Especially Sir Salter, the cunning businessman who loved the noble Duke Victor, killed Dorothy and assassinated him in order not to let anyone stay with the Duke.

Ram hated the merchant, especially knowing that he had a crush on the duke.This humble businessman thought that if he killed Dorothy, the Duke would grow old alone, and he could use this to stay by his side.He also sent Maia to the Duke, but the purpose was to use this to visit and get close to the Duke.

Because, he knew that Duke Victor would not regard Maia as Miss Dorothy.

Now, Ram, Sir Salter has been seen through.

Trick Duke Victor, kill Miss Dorothy, send Maia to the Duke, and assassinate herself.All this has long been out of his control.

Ram knew that Sir Salter would soon be unable to sit still, because only by killing him would it be difficult to hide everything.

On the fifth day of early July, in the evening, when Ram went out to clean up Sir Salter.Duke Victor stopped him.

Duke Victor handed him the land lease in his hand: "Ram, the land leased by Mr. Lewis has expired, please go and negotiate the lease."

Ram took over: "Okay, I will let Mr. Lewis continue to lease the land." Sir Salter should thank God that he escaped today.

After speaking, Ram got into Anthony's carriage and left Montrose Manor.Not long after he left, a carriage entered the manor.After Duke Victor put away his gun, he got into the carriage and left the manor.

Standing at the door, Butler Anderson watched the Duke leave in the carriage.

Sir Salter sent a letter to Duke Victor, who invited him to dinner at his house.

Today, the businessman placed roses on the table.Then, personally make the Duke's favorite steak and black tea.While preparing, Salter smiled.He recalled that when he met the Duke for the first time 30 years ago, that youthful aristocratic young man surrounded by noble young masters was so handsome and charming.Sir Salter, I will never forget the moment when I saw him for the first time.His pure smile is heart-pounding.

It was this noble and charming nobleman who made Sir Salter sink.

In his eyes, Duke Victor is the most beautiful and dazzling gem, and no one is qualified to stay by his side.And he is not qualified.In his eyes, Duke Victor cannot be desecrated.However, he couldn't protect his holiness, let him be dusted, or even defiled by others.

This made Sir Salter feel extremely painful.

He thought that Duke Victor would live alone.In this way, he can often visit him, drink afternoon tea with him, and play chess together.Every spring, we can go to the Spring Jockey Club together.

This kind of life, for him, is great.But things were out of his control. The inconspicuous bedbug grew into a poisonous snake in the blink of an eye.

Under extreme contradictions, Sir Salter wanted to destroy the poisonous snake that had defiled Duke Victor.But the poisonous snake spit out its letter at him and bared its fangs.

Sir Salter knew that when the truth was revealed, Duke Victor would not forgive himself.Moreover, he would lose the Duke's trust forever.

Such thoughts made him suffer as if he had fallen into hell.

Now, he has nowhere to go.

Today, he wants to have the last supper with Duke Victor and express his heart to him.Tonight, whether Duke Victor is angry or sad, he will keep him.

When Sir Salter was ready, there was a knock on the door.He couldn't help but smile on his face, he walked to the door and opened it, and when he saw the visitor, he said, "Dear Victor, thank you for coming to the dinner I cooked myself."

Duke Victor replied indifferently: "Thank you, Jeremiah."

Sir Salter took Duke Victor's cane himself, and led the man in.

It is not the first time that Duke Victor has come to Sir Salter's house.Since the businessman collected a lot of property, he bought a real estate in London from him as a residence.

Duke Victor sat down, and Sir Salter brought him steak and black tea as before, and the Duke thanked him.

Sir Salter sat down and said, "Victor, I'm glad you're here. It's been a long time since we had dinner together."

Duke Victor cut a piece of steak and said: "The masters of the Montrose family are always entangled in various things. But I believe that many people are willing to spend dinner with Sir."

"But I just want to have dinner with you alone."

"I'm glad you said it."

"Victor, the only thing God has blessed me with is meeting you. Therefore, you are the one who redeemed me."

"God will not be pleased with your words. Jeremiah, you have earned your fortune and your fame."

"But I didn't win the person I love the most."

"what a pity."

"Victor, I want to express my love to the person I love the most."

"he?"

"Yes, it is him."

"So you love a man?"

"Yes, and the man I love is right in front of my eyes."

Duke Victor put down his knife and fork, and he took a sip of black tea.His dark blue eyes looked at the knight in front of him: "Jeremiah, I am embarrassed by your words."

Sir Salter's expression was a bit painful: "Victor, I can accept your rejection, but I cannot accept that you are with Ram."

Duke Victor said indifferently: "This has nothing to do with you."

Sir Salter said bitterly: "So you are in love with Ram? In love with that terrible viper?"

Duke Victor looked at him coldly: "Jeremiah, this has nothing to do with Ram. Whether I fall in love with Ram or not, I will not fall in love with you."

Jeremiah's lips trembled a little: "Why?" He always thought that he had protected Duke Victor's nobility.

Duke Victor said cruelly: "Because, I don't have any love for you."

Sir Salter's face became gloomy, and he said, "Victor, your words make me feel pain and sadness."

Duke Victor said coldly: "Maybe. Jeremiah, God is watching us. I wonder if Dorothy was killed by you."

"That poisonous snake in Ram told you the truth?"

"No, he didn't tell me anything. So, I wonder if it was you who killed Dorothy at Jesus' feet."

After a long silence, when Duke Victor picked up the black tea and continued drinking, Sir Salter said, "Yes, I killed Dorothy."
