Anning frowned as he recalled the night when he entered the Palais des Tuileries.
He thought of the young Emperor who had a striking resemblance to Christina, arrogantly looking down on him.
This fellow was so bewitched by the throne that he forgot his own surname, staying in France he would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Although many Royalists had been killed, there were still a vast number who had escaped abroad, with significant influence.
Moreover, with rural rebellions like those in the Vendée, France had been the bastion of feudalism in Europe, the most feudal country.
Keeping Louis XVII could turn unpredictable.
So Anning made up his mind: "Tomorrow I will go to the Parliament and directly call for the trial of Louis XVII."
Robespierre: "Are you sure? He is your brother-in-law; this will label you as a kin-slaying beast. Maybe we should handle it."
Anning: "Are you confident in sentencing him to death?"
