“That note was for no one’s eyes save my brother’s and mine own!” Pierre shouted, snatching the slip of paper. “Did you read it, swine?”

Clarence nodded, unable to lie.

Furious, the drunken pirate demanded that Clarence step outside to settle the matter “honorably.”

In those days, that meant a duel with swords.

What Pierre Lafitte didn’t know was that as a young man, Clarence had served the king of France and was an expert swordsman. In the alley behind the inn, Clarence held his own.

But it was to be no fair duel.

When Clarence’s foil scratched Pierre’s cheek, the pirate’s henchmen grabbed the innkeeper by his arms, stripping him of his weapon. Then Pierre ran him through the heart. When Genevieve darted into the alley to help, he ran her through too.

“I will make my confession to my personal diary,” Pierre declared, dropping his foil to the ground beside the dying Du Valiers. “So you two innkeepers needn’t worry about my soul.” Then he instructed his henchmen to behead the Du Valiers with sabers.

Pierre never answered for the crime.
