Cross Rose Requiem

"Excuse me, Anderson," said Duke Victor.His expression was indifferent, and he didn't have the pleasure of talking with Duke William just now.It seemed displeased with what Sir Salter had done.

So, the old butler asked Maia to leave and go upstairs to the room.

And the prom, begin.The music team beat the music.The gentlemen held out their hands to the ladies, and they all went onto the dance floor to dance together.Sir Salter left without disturbing the two dukes.

The blond young nobleman said: "Duke Victor, you can refuse the 'Dorothy' that the businessman sent you."

Duke Victor said lightly: "No matter how much she looks like, she is still not Dorothy."

Duke William continued: "But you kept her."

"It's just a poor girl," said Duke Victor.

Duke William said: "Then, did you take in that young man with green eyes because of pity?"

"He's a thief," said Duke Victor.

"Thief? How interesting," said the young Duke with a smile. A thief who looked a little like Dorothy.Although, less like Maia.

Ram didn't know that he was noticed by the number one nobleman in Britain.He looked at the dance floor, enjoying it.

Suddenly, Ram's body tensed up.

Yes, that troublesome demon is back!It seemed to be very happy, it flapped its bone wings and hovered over the ball, and said to Ram: "Ram, let's play a game."

After 200 years, it makes him happy to meet someone who can see it again.

Seeing the demon flying towards him, Ram was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to run away.Unexpectedly, the devil grabbed him viciously and threw him into the ball.

The scream of the noble lady came from inside.

Seeing Ram's face buried in the soft chest of the noble lady, the devil smiled happily.

Ram lifted his head from the noble lady's chest, his face was flushed, and he hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, dear lady, I didn't mean it."

With a "slap", Ram received a solid slap on the face.

And the male companion of the noble lady, Master Arnold grabbed Ram by the collar and cursed: "You damned servant! I will let my uncle lock you into the basement and whip you!"

The demon flew behind Ram, it grabbed Ram's hand, then grabbed Arnold's pants and pulled it down hard.

Arnold's trousers were pulled off, and Ram, who was grabbed by the collar by Arnold, felt a pain in his neck and almost suffocated.

The ladies screamed in surprise, and the young nobles laughed and said, "It turns out that Arnold is really a gentleman."

The sluggish Arnold's face turned red first, then blue, and finally pale.He let go of Ram and quickly pulled up his pants and fastened them.Then he was furious like a wild beast, with blue veins on his forehead, and said angrily: "You damn bastard!"

The demon flew up, hugging its stomach and laughing loudly "hahaha".

Seeing Arnold's expression, Ram knew that bad luck was coming.So, he ran away.And Arnold chased after him angrily.The devil happily grabbed the apple and gnawed it.

On the dance floor, one escapes while the other chases.

Everyone had to stop.Under the devil's prank, the unlucky Ram not only touched the tender chests of the ladies, but also accidentally kicked the genitals of the gentlemen.

In an instant, the banquet was in chaos.

Under the intervention of the devil, whenever Ram was about to be caught, it flew over to save him from danger.For a time, no one could catch him.

Duke William, who was sitting on the sofa with Duke Victor, watched with gusto.Such chaos is really rare.Duke Victor didn't make a sound to stop it, as if he didn't see the farce.And the old butler waited on him respectfully.

Sir Salter withdrew from the chaos of the ball, and sat down after paying a gentleman's salute to the dukes.

At the ball, from the farce of chasing Ram, for some reason, it turned into an act of a gentleman molesting a lady.

And the devil, the instigator, is even more joyful.

Those gentlemen who have been wronged may not know that they are being teased by a demon.No matter how they are explained, the ladies will not believe them.Next time, those gentlemen who have been wronged will not dare to come to the banquet at Montrose Manor again.

Ram lay on the ground and hid under the table.The devil reached in, grabbed his ankle, and pulled him out. Seeing his Arnold, he said angrily, "I must punish you severely! I must punish you severely!"

Ram was almost unable to retreat, he gritted his teeth.Then the body flashed, and before Arnold had no reaction, the pants were unbuttoned again.Then he shuttled through the banquet with ease, hid in the shadow of the statue, and ran upstairs.

Ram is an out-and-out thief.

And just now, what he used was the trick of a thief.

Staying in the manor, he was always afraid of being punished, so he dared not resort to any means of thieves.Even a little bit.But now, everyone is chasing him, and in order not to be beaten up, he can only use cunning means to escape.

Seeing Ram running upstairs, Arnold chased after him angrily.

Ram ran all the way up to the third floor.When he passed the room with the rose mark on the door, he stopped.Thinking that this is the duke's room, if he hides in, the people chasing him will not dare to go in.

So he pushed away from Victor Montrose's room and dodged in.Behind, Arnold, who was catching up, lost his figure.

Ram leaned against the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time he had entered the duke's chambers.The first time, he tried to come in and steal.This time, it was to avoid people.Hearing the sound of looking for him outside, Ram stood up and decided to hide in the Duke's room for a while.

There is nothing valuable in the simple and deserted room.

Oh no.The devil has said that the most valuable "thing" in this room, in this manor, is the Duke of Montrose.Of course, Ram would not steal the Duke away.

"Look, Ram."

The demon flapped its bone wings and entered through the wall.Its withered fingers pointed to the oil paintings on the wall.Ram walked over, and he looked up to see the familiar portrait again.

Blonde with green eyes.

Ram said in surprise, "This is that girl!"

That Sir Salter brought in a girl named Maia.

The demon said: "Oh, no. Ram, take a closer look."

Ram blinked, and looked again seriously."She doesn't seem to be the lady," he said.

Demon Yoyo said, "Her name is Dorothy."

"Dorothy?"

"Yes, she is the Duke's fiancée."

"I haven't seen her at the manor?"

"Dead. Murdered to death on the first snow day 17 years ago.

"... Poor young lady."

"The Duke has been investigating Dorothy's murderer for 17 years."

"He didn't find the murderer? Did he?"

"Yes, dear Ram."

"And you, know who killed Miss Dorothy, don't you?"

The demon "Jie Jie" laughed strangely, and said, "I know. But the Duke must exchange his soul."

"Unfortunately, he can't see you," Ram said.

The demon said, "You can tell him that you can see demons."

Ram said: "No, I won't tell anyone that I can see demons. I don't want to be burned."

The demon sneered, "You are such a coward."

Ram walked over to the duke's bed and sat down. He didn't like being called a "coward".He said: "I'm not a coward. As long as I have pounds, I can become a big man in London. At that time, the servants will lick my shoes, and the noble ladies will throw their arms at me."

He may be afraid of death, but he will never admit that he is a coward.Because, he survived in the slums, and grew up with Bernie relying on "craft".He always dreamed that one day he would rob noble manors and become a superior person.

Therefore, he will definitely escape from here.

Ram, who was sitting on the duke's bed, opened his hands, lay down, and then smiled: "In the future, I will sleep on such a soft big bed."

No longer need to go hungry or cold, no longer need to worry about food, no longer fear the police.

The demon gave a strange laugh, and then gradually disappeared.

Ram closed his eyes, imagining his life as a nobleman in his mind.

Drowsy, Ram fell into chaos, and then fell asleep on the soft big bed.

The chaos created by Ram caused some noble ladies to leave the venue in a hurry.And Arnold is still looking for this daring servant.But he searched the manor, but he couldn't find anyone.The triplets prayed for Ram—the poor fellow who had offended Master Arnold and ruined the whole banquet.I don't know what kind of punishment I will receive tomorrow morning.

The banquet ended early, and the guests left one after another.While the servants were clearing up the work after the banquet, Duke Victor went upstairs.Arnold followed, and he kept chattering: "Uncle, that damned servant made me look bad, I must whip him hard!"

Duke Victor endured his nagging, and said patiently, "Arnold, it's time for you to rest."

Arnold followed his uncle up to the third floor, and he said angrily, "That coward must have escaped! He must have escaped from the manor. Dear uncle, please send someone to hunt him down, and then hand him over to me!"

Duke Victor walked to the door, and when he opened the door and was about to go in, he suddenly closed the door.He turned to this energetic young man and said, "Arnold, if you don't want to be sent back to the Earl's Castle now, I suggest you go back to your room and take a good rest."

Arnold finally shut up.

Then, Duke Victor turned and entered the room, closing the door behind him.

In the room, on his big soft bed, lay a quiet teenager.The boy closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.Completely unaware that the owner of the bed has arrived.

Duke Victor walked to the bed, and he reached out to brush Ram's hair to look at his face.After a while, he turned around and went out to find Anthony, asking him to take him away.

Grabbing Ram from the bed and carrying him on his shoulders, Anthony asked, "Duke, do you need to lock him back to the basement?"

Duke Victor said, "No need."

Nodding, Anthony led Ram back to his room.
