Roses for Rosalind

On the second day, the horse spear competition was still held.Rosie, who was full of worries, tossed and turned all night without falling asleep. When the first ray of sunlight shone into the room in the morning, she sighed irritably and simply turned over and sat up.

After grooming and going downstairs, Baroness Anderson was startled when she saw her. "Why did you get up so early today?" she asked Rosie strangely.My daughter usually likes to stay in bed the most, but today she came down before the last moment, which is really a bit abnormal. "Ah!" She suddenly thought of something and suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, it's the De Niro family's turn to play today, isn't it?" She suddenly winked at Rosie with childish innocence : "So you're nervous? How about it, does he feel good?"

"...You think too much about your mother."

"Ah, yes, I was thinking too much." The baroness showed an ambiguous smile of "I understand everything", thinking that it was her daughter who was shy, so she ended the topic: "Okay, I won't talk about it. "

Rosie stayed up almost all night, her head was groggy, and she had neither the mood nor the energy to refute the Baroness's words.She took a deep breath and sat down at the breakfast table, rubbing her temples with her fingers.

Lost time in the carriage and was dazed for a while, Rosie felt that the carriage had already driven to the Colosseum as soon as she closed her eyes.She dazedly followed Juliet to yesterday's box and sat down, watching the competition in the arena sleepily, with her head bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice.

I don't know how long it took, but the sudden burst of warm applause woke her up from her sleep.Rosie opened her eyes in a daze, just in time to see the referee loudly announce that Alco De Niro had won the game.

Alcor's chest heaved rapidly due to the violent panting.The bundled long brown hair spread out during the fight just now, and several strands blocked his forehead.He stretched out his hand and brushed his hair back casually, revealing his handsome profile. Several ladies who were closer to the stand immediately covered their chests and let out an intoxicated moan.

Alcor's eyes sparkled with triumph.After bowing generously to the audience, he got on his horse neatly and headed straight to the stand where Rosie was with a clear goal.

Why is it that Capulet's grandstand again?People with discerning eyes touched their noses wonderingly, and secretly murmured in their hearts, could things be the same as yesterday?

Arco De Niro stopped under the stands and looked up at Rosie intently.He slowly raised his right hand, and then, as if by magic, a bright red rose suddenly appeared in his palm.

"Now I am not qualified to taste the lips of a beautiful woman." He looked tenderly at Rosie who was smiling stiffly in the stands: "But if the dust from my vulgar hands desecrates your sacred temple, then, I would like to use this delicate rose, shy believer, and hope to get your forgiveness."

"Hurry up, Sissy!" Juliet secretly pushed her hard and reminded her in a low voice.

Rosie took the flower stiffly.

Arco De Niro withdrew his hand in satisfaction.

The blond-haired girl in blue reached out to take the bright rose, and lowered her eyelashes embarrassingly because of her shyness.The heroic knight bowed his head reverently, offering all his love and loyalty to her.

Yeah!Such a script is right!

That scene yesterday was indeed an illusion!

The suddenly enlightened audience started clapping and clapping their hands vigorously, and some good-for-nothings shouted loudly while clapping: "Kiss him!" "Kiss him! Kiss him!"

Alcor raised his hands and pressed his palms down, motioning for everyone to be quiet.When the booing and applause stopped for a while, he smiled and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be helpless: "Although I really hope to get another reward, but there is no way, the lady I like is a little shy , I’m afraid I won’t be willing to do that in public.” He spread his hands helplessly: “So please stop booing, if this lady doesn’t want to see me again after the game, I’ll have to settle accounts with you.”

The audience was boiling again, but this time no one made Rosie kiss Alko again.Arcor bowed gracefully to all present before finally riding his steed out of the arena.

In Capulet's box, Rosie was holding the rose in her hand, feeling like she was sitting on pins and needles.

Although she lowered her head firmly, the scorching gaze from above almost pierced her.Father and mother, the Viscount and Lady Capulet, it should be said that everyone except Juliet looked at her with profound eyes.

"Arco De Niro?" Viscountess Capulet chewed on the name carefully: "If I remember correctly, the fief of the De Niro family is in Milan... Well, this is very convenient."

...Auntie, don't act like I'm married, can you? qaq

"Yeah, that's what I thought at the time." Baroness Anderson said that the hero had the same opinion: "It doesn't take a day to get there by carriage."

"Has he proposed yet?" asked the Vicomtesse again.

"Not yet, but..." the baroness dragged out her tone meaningfully, without finishing her sentence.

"I see it soon." The Viscountess also smiled ambiguously: "Some things can also be prepared."

The four adults all laughed tacitly.Rosie was dying of embarrassment, but she couldn't argue, so she just sat there stiff and hypnotized that she didn't hear anything.

After lunch that day, Rosie excused that she was not feeling well and said that she did not want to attend the afternoon game.It doesn't matter to the baroness, because they have already watched the De Niro's game in the morning.And in fact, apart from the opening ceremony on the first day and the carnival dance on the last day of the Knights Conference, it doesn't make much sense to be there or not at other times.

The caring and gentle Juliet stayed with her.

The two sisters spent the afternoon doing nothing in the room.When the evening was approaching, Viscount Capulet sent his servant a message, saying that he was going to attend a party and that he would not return to the house for dinner tonight.

So Rosie and Juliet went back to the room after dinner, and each of them found a book of interest from the bookshelf, and read it intimately on the chair.

Rosie turned a page of the book in her hand, and suddenly there was a knock on the door of the room. "Come in." She called without looking up.

The door opened, and a maid in Capulet's uniform appeared at the door. "Miss," she bowed to Rosie and Juliet, "A gentleman came downstairs and said he had something to do and wanted to see Miss."

"Who?" Juliet closed the book in her hand: "Is it De Niro?"

Rosie felt her head ache again.

The maid shook her head: "I don't know either, miss." She said: "The gentleman refuses to say."

"...I'll go down for a while." Rosie put on her shoes and stood up: "You wait for me here, I'll be back soon." She said to Juliet.

"Uh...Actually," the maid added with some hesitation: "The gentleman specifically emphasized that both ladies should be invited down."

"Both of you?" Rosie raised her eyebrows in surprise, "You mean you want both of us to go down? Did he really say that?"

"It's true, miss." The maid said hastily.

"What on earth does he want..." Rosie said blankly.

"In this case," Juliet also stood up from the chair, "I'll go down with you."

Following the guidance of the maid, Rosie and Juliet came to the gate of their residence in Rome.Following a path paved with cobblestones, they came to a relatively dark courtyard.

"Sissy," Juliet tugged at the corner of Rosie's clothes, motioning her to look forward, "Is there someone in the front?"

"Hey." Hearing Juliet's voice, the man turned his head and greeted them with a smile: "Long time no see."

It was a handsome face both of them knew so well.

"It's you!" A moment later, Juliet let out a scream of surprise, and then rushed up and threw herself into the arms of that person. "Benvolio!"

"My beautiful little pigeon." Benvolio smiled and hugged Juliet and turned around in a circle, touching Juliet's forehead with his own affection: "I miss you so much."

Juliet put her arms around his neck tightly.

Rosie stood by and silently watched the two of them kiss me for a long time. "I said," she shuddered, rubbing off the goose bumps on her arms, and finally couldn't help but say, "Xiu En'ai, please pay attention to the fact that there are people waiting by the side...so you put the two of us together." What did you call me down for? Uncle and aunt are not here tonight, so it doesn’t matter even if my smoke bomb is not here.”

"Ah, actually." Benvolio put his arms around Juliet again before gently putting her on the ground.He held Juliet's waist with one hand and refused to let go, and snapped his fingers with the other hand: "There is really someone who wants to see you."

Rosie looked in the direction of his finger, and felt as if struck by lightning.

The moonlight was very weak tonight, and the sky was so cloudy that she couldn't see the figure standing against the wall not far ahead.The figure was shrouded in the shadow of tall buildings, so it was blurry and couldn't be seen clearly.Perhaps hearing what Benvolio said, the figure moved, took a step, and walked this way.

The brilliance of the silver moon fell on his cheeks, presenting a well-defined, handsome and familiar face like a marble sculpture.

"Sissy," said the man.
