Chapter 733

That was precisely why I had been summoned as a Servant. Let me give you one final 'execution'...!"

Sanson said as he charged forward with Executioner's Blade in hand. Only 'death' bound the executioner and the Princess Consort together. To repent for slaughtering an innocent queen, the only way was to let Marie die 'happily.'
