Title: n°5 World of Purity and Impurity
Someone: Simply heartbreaking.
This execution is going to be of a young 12 year old newlywed girl------...?
There is nothing at all that can be done about it.
It is the fate of the Sanson Family
to obey the king's orders and coldly perform executions no matter who it is------'
That is right. My son, Jean-Baptiste,
feast your eyes on what a magnificent man your son has become.

Page 142:
Char: Whether they are aristocrats or not, it has been established that women and children can only be executed by 'hanging'...
What we need to be cautious about this time is-----
Char: since the criminal is only 12 years old, her body is very light.
Because not enough pressure will be pushing on her neck,
it is likely her neck bones will not break immediately and she will writhe in agony for a prolonged period of time until she dies...

Page 143:
Ann: Exactly, Charles-Henri.
That's my grandson!!!
It may just be a hanging, but you cannot make light of it.
The criminal will struggle and you may also have a hard time securing the rope.
Baptiste: What's more, it is an extremely thin child.
Make a large knot with the rope to make sure it puts pressure on her carotid artery.
Charles, failure is not allowable. You must not damage the Sanson family name.
Louis: Big Brother, this reminds me of that lively dinners from back then.
I remember what Father and Grandmother decided in the end and they said something like this...

Page 144-145:
Louis: The Sanson Family is an honorable family that has been given a duty by his majesty the king.
We should hold our heads up high and strive to do our jobs well in order to punish crime and give order to the people---------------

Box: Chalres-Jean-
Baptiste Sanson
The Third Head of the Sanson Household
Due to paralysis of half of his body, he is currently under medical care at the Brie Comte Robert villa
Box: Anne-Marthe Sanson
Charles' Grandmother
The "Iron Law" of the Sanson Family when Charles was a boy
Henri: Th... That can't be true, can it?!
Hélène, right when she just had a baby, is going to be hanged......?!
Th... Then Father...
Why did you save Hélène's life?!!!

Page 147:
Char: It was all what his majesty the king commanded.
She was to be kept alive so the execution could be performed. What other reason would we need?
Henri: Wh-What...?
Charles: Some wine.
Guy: Yes, sir.
Henri: Don't you feel bad, Father?
Killing the mother of a newborn baby...?!!

Page 148:
Charles: Because the newborn baby was a boy,
it was arranged that we receive 5,000 livres as a reward.
That is a natural reward for giving medical treatment.
Mom: Henri, the clothes you wear,
the food in front of you,
all of it is paid for like that.
Henri: ......!!!
Char: By the way, Marie-Anne,
how is his majesty's condition lately?
Mar: It seems to be less than stellar, dear...
Char: I see...

Page 149:
Somebody: Hélène Villeneuve's execution for the crime of killing her husband will take place 1 week from now-----
at the Place de Greve!!!
Box: 1 week later
Place de Greve
H・el de Ville de Paris
Guys: What the? Today's convict is just a kid, ain't she?
They're sayin' she killed her husband.
I was expectin' a real sexy Madame, dangit.

Page 150:
Guys: Looks like a daughter of a fallen aristocrat.
Like her folks wanted money, so they sold her off to a common member of the bourgeoisie...
They say you're not allowed to execute someone while they're pregnant,
so they had to wait till they were two separate bodies.
Those Sansons are quite merciless...
I feel bad for her....
Hel: I can see my own feet.
The baby really is gone from inside my belly now, isn't it...?

Page 151:
Guy: Die!!!
Just die!!!
I don't want to give birth to the child of a dirty peasant like you!
I want it dead!!!
Guy: Stop, what are you doing to my child?!!!
Your belly is simply a vessel!
If anything happens to the child that will carry on the La Clayette family name, I'll never forgive you!!!
Helen: ...!!!
Guy: Hmph.
Is there something you're dissatisfied with?

Page 152:
Guy: I payed a hefty sum of betrothal money for you.
Your parents used that money as a dowry to wed your big sister to Duke Guido.
Those dirty fallen aristocrats needed to sacrifice you to preserve their honor!!!
Helen: ......!!!
No!!
I could never give birth to this thing!!!
Guy: !!?
UWAAAAAAAH!!!

Page 153:
Henri: Hélène does really seem sad.
I guess she's lonely now that her baby is gone...?
Hel: Pff...
Kukukuku...
Henri: !?

Page 154:
Hel: AAAAAAAAAAH Hahhahhahahah!
Oh, this is so refreshing!
My body's so light! That dirty commoner's blood is finally
completely purged from my body!!!
Henri: Hélène...!!!
Guys: What's with that aristocrat girl?!
She's looking down on us commoners!!!

Page 155:
Hel: ......!!!
Henri: Hélène!!!
Hel: Don't get near me, you dirty little kid!!!
There's no way in hell I'm going to beg some commoner for my life!
Now hurry up and tie the rope!!!
Henri: Hélène...
Your legs are shaking...

Page 156:
Char: We will now commence with the execution of Hélène Villeneuve!!!
Fasten the rope!!!
Remove the ladder------!!!

Page 157:
Helen: -------------!!!!
Ku...
GUGUH...

Page 158:
Char: It's as I predicted. Her body is too light, so it seems the rope can't strangle her...
Normally, it is allowed for the family of the convict
to pull from below on her to put him or her at ease more quickly...
Guy: The Madame's biological family refused. Not one of them has come to the execution.
They say they do not want any involvement in a daughter of theirs that has married a commoner...
CHar: I see...
Then is there anyone here from the family of the husband?!!
Or anyone blood-related to her that would like to release her from her suffering?!
Someone: Stay out of this!!!
Char: !!

Page 159:
Woman: Hey, boy, look!
Look at the face of our hated enemy that killed your father!
Burn the image of that aristocrat girl's suffering
into your eyes as long as you can!!!
Hel: It... It hurts... I didn't think dying would be this painful...
Someone... Help... me...
Henri: Poor Hélène. She was alone when giving birth
and now she's alone again...
Char: If there's no other choice, I suppose I'll have one of my assistants pull her...
Henri: I'll do it!

Page 160:
Henri: Sanson hands are proud hands.
They're even hands that can save people-----...

Page 161:
Henri: Hélène,
I'm here by your side!

Page 162-163:
[Aw, ain't that nice.]

Page 164:
Henri: I am the 5th Monsieur de Paris.
I will be with you in your final moments.
Louis: Big Brother.

Page 165:
Louis: Even at only 6 years old,
your son already had good groundings for being an executioner...
And he has the same merciful heart as you do-------
I suppose
I really am no match for you...
You are sure to be
a great Fifth Monsieur de Paris...

Page 166:
Char: The hanging of Hélène Villeneuve is now over!!!
Would the next convict please step forward!!!
Guy: M... Master!!!
His royal highness's condition has stabilized
and he's told us to pardon all of the convicts...!!!
Char: ...Is that so?
Henri: Huh?

Page 167:
Char: All convicts are released!!!
Thanks to his majesty the king's mercy, Paris will close its eyes to the crimes of convicts for the next few days!!!
Henri: Wh-What?! If the execution was just one hour longer
then Hélène would've been spared...?!!
Char: Only the foolish attack themselves, Henri.

Page 168:
Char: Hélène committed no crime, she was a victim of this hierarchical society.
Until this world is upended, this same tragedy will likely repeat again and again------
I extended her hospital stay one week waiting for the pardon,
but it seems we didn't make it...
Narr: Hélène's 'Caesarian Section" was the world's first painless surgery
but because the Datura that was used to put her into a state of general anesthesia lowered her blood pressure, the pregnant woman was put into a dangerous situation. It had a very high risk to it.
Charles took that risk into account, so he sealed the use of Datura as a secret to the Sanson family
so that great act did not go down in the annals of history.
Bottom: *In the real world, in the Edo period, the wife of the doctor Hanaoka Seishuu lost her sight due to the side effects of Datura.
