I Transmigrated To A Mafia Character From A BL Dark ! - Chapter 137
R-16 (Contain insinuation scenes from [email protected], caution is advised when reading the chapter).
Bishop Darcy looked all the more imposing for being taller than most of the men present there, and his superior look made the others bow their heads a little intimidated, while others admired how protective the bishop was to his students.
Who didn’t want a teacher, benefactor, or teacher who would be so protective and help them with their problems?
Rutger saw all this and almost ground his teeth, how that boy behaved like a little bitch following his client.
“Oh, if it isn’t young Giovanni. How have you been? I heard that Father Lattanzio was like a mentor to him… It must have been difficult to deal with the grief ”
Rutger approached and spoke in a tone that seemed too kind to the others, but Giovanni only felt a hint of menace and mockery from his tormentor.
“Father Rutger knows the young man?” Father Marino arrived at the small group seeing for the first time the unusual agitation of Bishop Darcy.
The large group was made up of 20 priests and the small group was made up of 7 people, there were a total of 27 priests in the hallway, almost no one going to work, but as novices and a few priests were supervising them, then Matteo Abbey still was working.
Of course, Father Marino was just waiting for the two doctors to leave the victims’ rooms to take them to Abbot Eurico soon, thus ordering someone to remove the bodies and disperse these unoccupied priests.
The other priests were now paying attention to the scene, some gossiping about some things they had heard from others about Giovanni and Rutger having an intimate and quite carnal relationship.
Which caused the hubbub among the priests to increase, some snide comments could be overheard by Emery and the separate group, but he didn’t show any expression of displeasure, or disdain, or disgust, just a quiet indifference to the others.
He put his arm around the thin shoulders of the 18-year-old who seemed to have been lessened by hearing such absurd gossip that the others were scattered about, this movement caught everyone’s eye.
“Father Rutger knows my apprentice?” Emery asked calmly, but everyone seeing the man’s protective attitude towards the novice showed the importance of Giovanni to others.
“Yes, old brother Lattanzio introduced us shortly before he died,” Rutger said in an emotional voice as if he was very sorry for the death of the old priest. Even though he hated that old man so much, he knew how to act as the environment asked.
“This is something very interesting, the two promising exorcists of the Church of the Rising Sun have friendship with this little novice, I wonder if there is something special about this person” a priest commented with certain malice in his voice.
What made Giovanni embarrassed and with his low self-esteem, he thought that there was no value for Bishop Darcy to offer help, other than his body… But Bishop Darcy could have anyone he wanted, rich, handsome, and powerful.
“Wake up boy, you have me now. Let’s say that Bishop Darcy found a hidden treasure” Yani said consoled Giovanni, who soon perked up a little, after all, he had an Ace up his sleeve that could help the bishop.
“Yes, he is quite talented. I’ll take him to the Aurore Empire, there he’ll have a better education.” Emery spoke with the same calm and indifference as before as if the other person was just an insect.
“That’s right, Giovanni is a very talented young man. Old Brother Lattanzio told me a lot about him, how dedicated he was and how much more he liked the silence…” Rutger started to say some things that Father Lattanzio had said about Giovanni.
Remembering that at the beginning very old Father Lattanzio wanted Giovanni to interact with younger people and have a protector, he thought Rutger could do that, but the man’s apparent obsession made the old priest stay alert and keep Rutger away from Giovanni, but he couldn’t keep an eye on the young man all the time.
So with the excuse of being a “colleague” of the old priest he had access to Giovanni for some time until he gained the boy’s trust and his obsession got out of control causing a fateful night of violence.
Giovanni felt a deep unease as he listened to Rutger’s praise of him. It was with those sweet words that his trust had been gained and he let his guard down for a moment.
Just remembering those flattering words also reminded him of the vicious and poisonous words as he suffered kneeling on the floor begging for mercy while being violated.
Giovanni’s body began to shake as a reaction he couldn’t control, biting his lip and his skin turning paler, he gripped the sleeve of Bishop Darcy’s tunic.
But people didn’t pay attention to him, as they were watching the rant between Emery and Rutger, all very polite, but the cold layer the bishop threw on the priest’s every sentence made it clear that there was something wrong with the two men.
“Human, the other human doesn’t look good.” Arabeth caught Emery’s attention.
Even Yani trying to console him didn’t do much good, he well knew that it took him a long time not to shudder when he thought about what happened that night, with the help of the demon that accompanied him he managed to improve himself becoming strong to not be afraid anymore.
Giovanni was still far from that level, the violence happened 4 days ago, the pain was recent and the fear could not be easily subdued.
“We’re going out into the garden now, the smell is too heavy,” Emery said suddenly interrupting Rutger from speaking.
“Oh okay. I’ll still be waiting for the brothers Aldo and Mario right here” Father Marino spoke politely.
He was relieved to see that Bishop Darcy would come down and the mood was even lighter, because of the suffocating feeling he got from verbally sparring with Rutger.
Everyone looked strangely at Father Rutger, but he was more focused on the frail back of Giovanni who disappeared as he descended the stairs to the ground floor.
“Brother Rutger?” Dante called to him seeing the man standing looking down a long time to the hallway exit to the stairs.
“What does Brother Bernardi want?” Rutger came to, noticing what a fool he looked like looking at nothing.
“Do you want to go down too?” Dante asked curiously as he saw the man staring at the stairs for some time.
“We must?” Rutger said looking around seeing the priests meeting in small groups and theorizing about possible causes of death. Father Bianco, who didn’t want to be near the crime scene, retreated to the building that was intended for guests, so there was no way the priests outside would know what had happened inside the rooms.
“I think they’ll take some time in there, I saw a priest coming down to call the novices who assist the two priests at the funeral services,” Dante said calmly and wondering a little Rutger didn’t see the priest coming down.
It could be that the priests responsible for the laboratories are called to also examine if there is anything other than what would be considered non-supernatural.
Father Rutger thinking that Bishop Darcy and Giovanni were now together and having some kind of warm moment felt the urge to go along and mess up.
“Then let’s go down”
He agreed with Dante, the two said goodbye to Father Marino and the others, they went down the stairs and into the garden, but they didn’t see Bishop Darcy, just Giovanni sitting on a bench talking to another novice.
Mattias Basile was taking his time off after cleaning the floor of the corridors in the east wing with his colleagues. He was tired and a little distraught because of what happened in the old cabin.
He had been thinking about Bryan all the time, even when he got a deserved scolding from the priest in charge of the dormitories that he had slept in a nearby warehouse because he went out at night to fight the demons.
Of course, it was a lie made up at the time. However, it was not uncommon for novices to go out in pairs or in threes to explore one place or another in the evening or just before the first mass.
The youth’s desire for adventure and of course the desire to meet a real devil and take justice into their own hands was something that some priests enjoyed and abhorred by others, but they as the foundation of the new exorcists and holy knights were on the right path.
However, that didn’t mean that it was explicitly allowed, especially after such a terrifying attack by the demons that some had died.
Mattias received some sweet fruit from his colleague who worked in the kitchens, the fruit would be bad the next day, which would not be good and the novices would end up being punished for wasting food.
