(17th century in France)

It was unusual in the Sanson family for someone to marry for love, like it was with you and Charles.

You knew the risks. You knew you were giving up all your freedom and rights as a woman, you knew how Charles would treat his children and what he would teach them.. But still, you couldn't let go of your love for Charles. You loved him with all your heart, just as he did. He promised you that he would love only you, and he kept his promise.

Now, the heir Charles had been eagerly awaiting was born. He named him Henri.

Henri.. your first child, was a copy of his father's younger self.. An innocent child faces a harsh future, which will force him to work as an executioner like his father.
