Roses for Rosalind

Under the eyes of everyone, the knight in silver armor riding a black horse stopped slowly and slowly as he passed under the stands of the Capulet House in Verona.

Time seems to be stretched infinitely.

Romeo raised his head slowly.

The helmet on his head was taken off by him as soon as the game was over, and he was holding it casually in one hand at this moment.His face was flushed from the intense exercise just now, and Rosie's black hair, which was always neatly combed in Rosie's impression, looked messy at the moment, and was tangled into strands due to sweat.

But no one cares about that.

From the kings and nobles to the common people, all the people present watched the every move of this handsome knight nervously, without blinking their eyes.But this strange knight has kept the same movement ever since he reined in his horse under the stands of Capulet's house, looking up blankly, motionless.

What's going on here?

Everyone looked at the box strangely, and there were two middle-aged couples and a young black-haired lady sitting in it.The young lady was lowering her head so tightly that she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.The dark-haired middle-aged couple's complexion is obviously not very good, and it can even be said to be livid.

Ah - everyone suddenly realized.

The audience in the stands you push me, I push you, and after exchanging a look, they snickered ambiguously.But before they could boo, the young knight suddenly clamped the horse's belly, turned the horse's head, and urged the horse to move on again.

……what?

What does this mean?

Everyone was at a loss.

The silver armored knight straddled the black steed, walked slowly around the entire Colosseum, and finally stopped under his box.He rode close to the stands, begging his mother for a reward kiss.

Mrs. Montague hugged her son and kissed him gently on the forehead.

There was sparse applause from the stands.Awakened by the applause, although the rest of the audience hadn't realized what was going on, they still started applauding vigorously.Cheers and screams once again filled the Colosseum, as if the silence just now was just an illusion.Romeo bowed to the audience and rode away from the arena.At this time, the announcer once again raised his voice, loudly announcing the knights in the match.

Juliet gently pushed the people around her: "Sissy, haven't you found the earring yet?" She frowned beautifully: "Why so long? Romeo Montague has already left."

That's right, just when Romeo Lema looked up, Rosie found an excuse for nothing, and ducked under the fence of the box.

In fact, it was the wisest choice to sit there openly and pretend to be ignorant, but the moment she met his eyes, her mind went blank.When she finally woke up, she had already used the excuse that the earring fell off, bent down and blocked herself entirely with the fence.

Rosie pretended to touch the ground for a while again: "I found it!" She straightened up and put the earrings that had been secretly stored in her palms back on her ears: "It fell into the gap in the chair, and I managed to find it." Finally found it."

Juliet raised her eyebrows and looked at her thoughtfully for a long time. Rosie was so guilty that she didn't dare to look her in the eyes. She just lowered her head to avoid Juliet's gaze.However, Juliet still didn't say anything after all, she stared at Rosie for a while, and finally moved her eyes silently.

Rosie breathed a sigh of relief.

She heard Viscountess Capulet's puzzled voice: "What does he mean by that?"

"...I thought," Viscount Capulet replied hesitantly, "I thought it was some kind of humiliating method that Montague came up with...but it doesn't seem to be the case?"

"But why did he go around here on purpose?"

"Who knows." Viscount Capulet said that he was also puzzled. He spread his hands and shrugged: "My dear lady, you must know that the Montagues are sometimes so unreasonable."

During this period, Rosie kept staring at her fingers and did not even dare to raise her head.

After about three or four more games, the grand horn was sounded again, this time it meant the end of the war.The king stood up and left first, and after him, the nobles left in order according to their ranks.

Along the way, the two sisters did not speak, but followed their parents away silently.This silence lasted until they returned to the shared room. Juliet sat next to her with a pillow in her arms, glanced at her from the corner of her eye from time to time, and hesitated to speak.

After a few times Rosie finally couldn't take it anymore. "Juliet," she sighed, kicked off the shoes on her feet, and tucked herself into the depths of the chair: "Things are not what you think."

"But I haven't said anything yet." Juliet said slowly, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"..." Rosie choked for a moment, and raised her hand to mess up her hair a little annoyedly: "Then tell me."

"Sissy," Juliet also imitated her and took off her shoes, put them neatly head to head, and then climbed to her side and sat down intimately next to her: "That Romeo of the Montague family, does he like you? "

"Nothing, it's because you think too much." Rosie flatly denied it.

"But," Juliet blinked her big black eyes, "after the game, why did he come to our side for a round? He even stopped under our stands, obviously for someone's purpose. It's here. And," she turned her head to look at Rosie, who was half-lidding her eyes, and her slender eyelashes cast a small shadow on her smooth face: "how could your earrings be so coincidental? Did it fall at that time?"

"Juliet," Rosie hugged her legs tightly, buried her head on her knees, and her voice became muffled because of this: "Your father just said that sometimes people in the Montague family are just so unlucky." Li Yu. If he insists on coming here, can I stop him?"

"But……"

"It's nothing special." Rosie interrupted what Juliet was about to say: "Do you remember the ribbon he tied on the spear? It was definitely not from me. I gave it to him yesterday." De Niro. You told me that the ribbon wasn’t just a ribbon. So, he definitely wasn’t looking for me, maybe the owner of the ribbon just happened to be sitting near us.”

"..."

"Juliet," Rosie suddenly raised her head and leaned on Juliet's shoulder, "I'm suddenly a little scared."

"……What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know either." Rosie shook her head slightly, and slowly closed her eyes: "Don't move, lend me a shoulder to lean on." She murmured, "I think I need to rest for a while , maybe I won’t be afraid when I wake up.”

"Okay," Juliet said, and thoughtfully adjusted her posture so that she could lean more comfortably. "Go to sleep," she said, "I think I need to think about some things."

Rosie leaned on Juliet and soon fell into a deep sleep.

After she fell asleep, Juliet adjusted her and Rosie's posture again.Although what Rosie said was quite reasonable, she always felt that there was something wrong with the matter, but she couldn't think of any refuting evidence for a while.Before returning to the room, they had already told the nurse that they would not be called for dinner, so no one would disturb them for a long time.The room was very quiet, she looked up at the ceiling quietly, and soon fell asleep.

————————————————————————————————————————

Rosie hadn't slept so deeply in a long time.

She seemed to have had a long, long dream.

In the dream, there was a little boy with black hair and a little girl with blond hair, but their faces were very blurry.At the beginning, the two children were still young, and their small bodies leaned together, sitting on the lawn and looking at the distant scenery.As time passed, both children grew up.The girl gradually lost the immature baby fat on her face, and her body began to have girlish curves.The picture of the boy is not continuous, but suddenly grows from a small child to a handsome teenager.Scenes of pictures flashed through Rosie's mind quickly like a film film, one frame after another, fleeting and silent.

She opened her eyes in the darkness of the room.

The sky outside the window was completely dark, Rosie got up and stretched, put on her shoes, went to the table and lit a small candle.She was about to take the quilt on the bed and cover Juliet who was still sleeping soundly, but there was a sudden snap, and a sound came from outside the window.

Rosie paused.

Snapped.

Another sound.

Rosie held the candle holder vigilantly, and walked gently along the corner to the window.She hid behind the curtain, waiting for the other party's next movement, but the crackling sound suddenly disappeared.

She held her breath and waited for a while. Seeing that there was really no more movement, she carefully opened the curtains.

A bright red rose in full bloom was lying there quietly.

Rosie's heart skipped a beat.

Rosie leaned on the window frame and looked around, but didn't find anyone.She looked at the rose in silence for a long time, and finally walked over silently and picked it up gently.

She found that there was a small piece of paper under the rose, and on the top of the letter was a font she was all too familiar with.

She reached out and picked it up too.

There was only a short line written on it.

—A rose for Rosalind.

She thought she knew whose name it was.
