Roses for Rosalind

After the dance, the seven-day knight tournament finally came to an end, and the nobles from all over the country packed their bags and started to return one after another.

Life seems to be back on track.But Rosie knew in her heart that her mentality had changed a lot compared to before coming to Rome.And because they have a common secret, the feelings between her and Juliet's two sisters have become more intimate.

As for the matter with Alcor—

"Is there anything you are dissatisfied with, Sissy?" Mrs. Anderson asked suspiciously: "But in my opinion, there is nothing to be picky about Alcor. There can be no perfect person in the world. If there are any innocuous little problems, you shouldn't be picky."

"No," Rosie confessed to her mother, "he's fine, the problem is entirely with me. I... I haven't developed any special feelings for him."

"My silly boy." Mrs. Anderson couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? Feelings can be cultivated. I was very reluctant when I first married your father, but we are fine now?" Speaking of this, The baroness paused: "You know, my dear, you can never find such a good flower in Verona's summer." She said to Rosie suggestively: "Even the ordinary poor Flower seedlings can also produce beautiful flowers after people's careful cultivation."

"Yes, he is indeed a good flower." Rosie replied calmly, "Unfortunately, I am not a good gardener, so this flower is destined not to belong to me."

"I also came from your age, and I understand what your head is thinking at your age." Mrs. Anderson still did not give up: "And the young Alcod Niro is already the most perfect idea of ​​my teenage years."

But Rosie isn't really only 15 years old. "Yes, mother." She said to the baroness with calm eyes and firm tone, "It's a pity that it's not mine."

Her most perfect vision has been someone else.

Knowing her daughter's stubbornness very well, Mrs. Anderson sighed and did not continue to say anything on this topic.

Early the next morning, a letter of apology was sent from Verona to Milan, emblazoned with the seal of the Anderson family.

Everything seems to be developing in a better direction, and Rosie is very satisfied with this.

When Romeo was still in the public school, he lived in the dormitory arranged by the public school, and he did not use his real name, so the chance of being discovered by the two parents was very small.But now that he has returned to the Montague home in Verona, this method can no longer be used.

Later, Romeo thought of a way.He and Rosie changed the exchange of letters to Father Lawrence's church.They chose a remote place in the church, where one hid the letter and the other would fetch it when he arrived.They use this method, and they exchange letters about once every two or three days.

In order to retaliate against what happened in the garden on the first night of the knight meeting, Rosie insisted on changing the name of Romeo from "Carl" to "Honey" in the letter, and plausibly said that even if she was discovered, she could pretend into a correspondence between the two girls.Originally, he wanted to take the opportunity to tease Romeo and see how disgusted he looked.Unexpectedly, Romeo just looked at her helplessly, then shook his head and followed her.

In the letter, she and Romeo made an appointment to meet today, she took Juliet, and Romeo took Benvolio.In this way, this other pair of lovers who have suffered from lovesickness can meet each other, and they can also find an excuse for their respective trips, saying that they are good sisters/brothers who go out for a stroll or something casually, which really kills two birds with one stone.So she came to Capulet's house early this morning, waiting for the time to go out with Juliet.

Unfortunately, when they went downstairs, they ran into Mrs. Capulet in the downstairs living room who was directing the servants to work.

"Good day, Aunt/Mother." Rosie and Juliet hurriedly saluted her.

"Good day, my young and beautiful darlings." Lady Capulet smiled and nodded to them.She noticed the careful grooming of the two of them: "Where are you going?"

"Uh..." Rosie and Juliet looked at each other subconsciously, "Go to the flower shop!"/"Go to the Herb Square!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Well, actually," Rosie swallowed nervously, "We want to go to the flower shop on Herb Square..."

"Huh? There's no flower shop in Herb Square?"

"Yes, yes." Rosie was so guilty that her toes hidden under the skirt curled up nervously: "It didn't exist before, but now, it's newly opened, just last month. "

"Is that so?" Mrs. Capulet's expression was thoughtful: "Then it's no wonder I don't know... Wait, isn't it right?" Her ending voice was raised high, and the hearts of Rosie and Juliet were instantly suspended in the air .They held their breath subconsciously, and looked anxiously at Mrs. Capulet who had a face of "you are lying": "Why didn't I see the carriage at the door?"

"...That, that's because!" The ups and downs frightened Rosie into a cold sweat.But this time she was smarter.Rosie took a step forward, half in front of Juliet.She quietly tugged at Juliet's hand to signal her not to speak, so as not to be in trouble like before: "We are going to walk by ourselves... There is a new batch of lace ribbons in Madam Grancier's shop, we can drop by Go and have a look."

"Ah, so it is."

"……Yes."

"But do you insist, dear?" Lady Capulet eyed them curiously for a moment.She felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Rosie and Juliet today, but everything seemed to be the same as usual. "It's a long way from here."

"Hmm... yes." Rosie answered bravely, "but since the Harvest Festival, Juliet and I have been busy preparing for many other things, and we haven't visited Verona for a long time... today It's a great opportunity."

I don't know which sentence hit Mrs. Capulet's heart, she suddenly sighed heavily, and exclaimed: "Sure enough, it's good to be young. When I was a girl, I didn't like being around all day. Staying at home is the most lively and active. But now I want to run, but I can’t run anymore... Go, go, what are you waiting for?” After confirming that they really don’t need a carriage, Cape Mrs. Wright waved her hand to signal Rosie and Juliet to leave quickly: "Okay, let's go, my beloved little pigeons. Just remember not to be too happy to leave."

"Yeah!" Rosie and Juliet nodded desperately.They hurriedly saluted Mrs. Capulet again, lifted their skirts and ran away in a hurry.

"Back then..." Mrs. Capulet stood where she was, looking at their backs and remembering her beautiful years for a while, and finally started to order the servants to work again: "Where's Budpan?" She He called out the butler's name loudly: "Quickly ask someone to put all these folding stools into the room and move this utensil rack away. Oh my God, you must tell them to be careful not to break the plates..."

Rosie and Juliet ran out of the Capulet Mansion in one breath, and finally stopped at the corner of the street. "Scared, scared me to death." Rosie supported her knees and panted heavily: "I thought we would definitely be discovered."

"...Me too." Juliet was also frightened.She took a deep breath, trying to calm her violently rising and falling chest: "Fortunately, we managed to hide it."

"Yes, fortunately." Rosie felt much better. She stood up straight and said to Juliet, "Let's go."

"Ah."

They soon joined Romeo and Benvolio who had been waiting at the destination early.Benvolio suggested that the four of them should separate: "You don't want two people watching you while you're making love to Miss Rosalind, do you buddy?" He winked at Romeo: "I don't know It’s for your sake. But you’re welcome, who made you my dear brother.”

This guy.Romeo couldn't help but give him a "mutual mutual" look.He didn't refuse after all, and pulled Rosie to go in another direction.

"Okay, now there are only two of us left." Benvolio looked at Juliet tenderly, and suddenly hugged Juliet.Juliet let out an exclamation, then smiled and put her hand on Benvolio's shoulder.

"Put me down quickly," she said.

"Don't let go." Benvolio shook his head firmly, and immediately hugged him a little tighter: "I haven't seen you for a few days, do you miss me?"

Juliet lowered her eyes and did not answer.

"Do you want to?" Benvolio gestured to run her away.

"Think, think, think." Terrified, Juliet threw her arms around his neck, begging for mercy, "Put me down quickly."

Benvolio put her down as promised, but his hand was still half around her waist and he didn't take it away. "In the past, Romeo fell in love with your good sister Rosalind bitterly. I laughed at him. He said that I would be cursed by love in the future." He said to Juliet: "Now, his prophecy has come true. I love You, you love me too, if we were not in this status, I would have rushed to your father to propose to him a long time ago."

"...love is a sweet pain," whispered Juliet, "true love never follows a smooth path."

"You're right. It must be because the love between us is too sincere that the road is so difficult." Benvolio held Juliet's face, his forehead against hers, and the tip of his nose against hers. Touching the tip of her nose: "Amen. No matter what terrible things will happen in the future, it will not be worth the joy I get from seeing you in just a few minutes. No matter how those foreign things that erode love will spread their magic hands, As long as one day we can stand in front of the priest and let him unite our souls into one with the holy words, so that I can call you my man, I will have no regrets in this life." 1

"Juliet, Juliet, Juliet." He called out his lover's name one after another: "How I wish I could have a sharp tongue like yours, so that I, who am clumsy in words, can express my love to you." Heartfelt happiness, pouring out the infinite joy you brought me during this meeting with incomparable joy."

"You don't need to belittle yourself, Benvolio, no one else has such a dexterous tongue as you." Juliet lowered her eyes and smiled shyly: "The fullness of thought does not lie in the richness of words, because only beggars can." I can count his belongings. At this moment, sincere love fills my heart...I can no longer estimate how much wealth I enjoy." 2

"Yeah," Benvolio smiled lowly. "You own my whole life, my whole soul."

"Yeah." A crimson blush crept up Juliet's cheeks quietly: "I'm beyond rich."

"...Juliet? Is that you?" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.Juliet's body froze suddenly, she pushed Benvolio away, and slowly turned her head in fear, Tybalt's disbelieving face instantly came into her vision. "Juliet?! It's really you!" Tybalt's expression was distorted due to extreme anger.He growled low through his teeth: "What did this Montague scumbag do to you?!": "What did this Montague scumbag do to you?!"
