The Former Holy Knight. Having Lost My Job and Childhood Friend, I Decided to Start a Dark Guild - Chapter 67.5

Prince Raymond was raging in front of Louis Capone, the head of the Capone Family.

“How can this be the result, after I, a prince, have offered my utmost cooperation!? Not only did we fail to kill that senile old fool, Duke LeBlanc, but we also failed in the minimum achievement of kidnapping Elena LeBlanc! How do you intend to take responsibility, Louis Capone!?”

The scheme that took place at the LeBlanc residence the other day was a joint plan between Prince Raymond and the dark guild “Capone Family.”

The plan was as follows:

Knights close to Prince Raymond from the Holy Knight Order and members of the Capone family dressed in the armor of the Holy Knights would instigate a rebellion at the LeBlanc household. During the chaos, a heretic belonging to Capone would kill Jean LeBlanc and kidnap Elena LeBlanc.

Given the circumstances, killing Jean LeBlanc in front of Cecil was challenging, but kidnapping Elena LeBlanc was considered the bare minimum for success by the Capone side.

Killing Jean LeBlanc on the spot would have been the best outcome, but kidnapping Lady Elena would still be a significant victory.

Considering how much her uncle adored his niece, he would accept any demand to save Lady Elena. Forcing him into retirement from the politics of the capital and making him retire to the LeBlanc territory seemed easy enough for Prince Raymond.

Naturally, by allowing the rebellion of the Holy Knights and the kidnapping of Elena LeBlanc, Cecil would retire from the Holy Knight Order. And with the troublesome uncle gone, advancing his marriage with Cecil could be hastened. Prince Raymond thought the days of holding Cecil Wave every night and bestowing his seed upon her were soon to come.

Prince Raymond slammed his fist on the table.

“Why don’t you say something, Louis Capone! I’m sparing my precious time for you lowlifes!”

Louis Capone calmly exhaled a puff of cigar smoke before speaking.

“It was unexpected for us too. An unknown powerful private soldier from the LeBlanc family intervened, and the Captain of the Holy Knights, Cecil, left the LeBlanc household to protect Lady Elena. The scene was filled with unforeseen events.”

Indeed, the first miscalculation was the appearance of an incredibly capable private soldier from the LeBlanc family.

The heretic assigned to kill Jean LeBlanc possessed a high-level self-regeneration skill. Even if they couldn’t defeat Cecil, they were supposed to buy as much time as possible with their regenerative ability. The more time passed, the closer the injured duke would come to death.

However, the appearance of the LeBlanc family’s private soldier swiftly demoralized the heretic with a single blow, as if manipulating the heretic’s heart.

Another miscalculation was Elena LeBlanc escaping the mansion swiftly with the agile LeBlanc family’s private soldier.

Despite sending heretics to pursue immediately, Cecil leaving the ongoing battle in the mansion alone to protect Elena LeBlanc was an irregular occurrence, leading to the failure of the kidnapping plan.

Prince Raymond was unaware of how Cecil managed to protect Lady Elena afterward, but what Louis Capone revealed was beyond his imagination.

Louis Capone, with a delighted smile, presented a picture. “Who would have thought that the saintess herself would appear in such a place.”

With a puzzled expression, Prince Raymond took the picture and was astonished.

Although her face was hidden by a cape, it was unmistakably Cecil. What surprised him was Cecil’s attire.

Dressed lightly in a thief-like manner, only covering her chest and waist, much of Cecil’s skin, which Prince Raymond yearned to touch, was boldly exposed. Especially her mystical and ample chest, which stirred the imaginations of the men in the capital, caught Prince Raymond’s gaze irresistibly.

Mesmerized anew by her divine beauty, Prince Raymond’s feelings vanished when he saw the man Cecil was looking at.

The man also had his face covered with cloth. It was unclear who he was, but Prince Raymond recognized the look in Cecil’s eyes. Cecil always had that look when staring at Leon Stein. The more he looked at the man concealing his face, the stronger the suspicion that this could be Leon Stein grew.

Such suspicion was solidified further by Louis Capone’s words.

Louis Capone said with great amusement, “Even if she was pursuing Lady Elena, to think the saintess would come to a lodging operated by us, what an honor indeed.”

“Lodging house…?”

Indeed, the building in front of Cecil and the man advertised itself as a cheap inn with the sign “Rest for Three Hours, Twenty Silver Coins.” It appears the two had entered this establishment.

Prince Raymond exclaimed loudly, “What did the two of them do here? They didn’t sleep together, did they?”

“Prince, please remain calm. Surely, the Captain of the Holy Knights wouldn’t engage in such activities, especially while on a mission. They were pursuing Lady Elena, after all.”

“Is there any evidence!? How long did the two of them stay in this vulgar place?”

As Prince Raymond pressed for answers, Louis Capone’s smile vanished, and he spoke dismissively.

“After that, there was an explosion in the District of Divine Will, our territory. The city was thrown into chaos, and we lost track of what happened to them. Truly, an unpleasant situation.”

For Prince Raymond, the explosion in the District of Divine Will was inconsequential. The image of Cecil and Leon Stein together in that lowly inn expanded rapidly in his mind, igniting an unimaginable jealousy that seemed to scorch his very soul.

As if reading Prince Raymond’s emotions, Louis Capone said, “There’s no need to fret so. Soon, Saintess Cecil will be yours.”

“What do you mean?”

Louis Capone took a small bottle from his chest and placed it on the table.

“The item you requested is ready. This is a powerful aphrodisiac made by a top-class heretic. It’s unlike any aphrodisiac you’ve seen before. Forget about the Duke LeBlanc or the Holy Knight Order, just have her drink this, and quickly impregnate Cecil Wave. The cost is on the house.”
