I wish to tell you something about myself. In my world, for people like me to give out details about ourselves, it can have serious consequences. I hope you will forgive me for being secretive.
[ Now... ]
France had a monarchy, but the monarchy fell in revolution. [ She probably already knows this, but. ] The leaders of the revolution demanded that the king and queen be executed. The person who put them to the guillotine... was me.
[ He's surprised she doesn't already know his identity, given how he already said his name. ]
I served the monarchy as an overseer of justice, and then the republic after that. I am Charles-Henri Sanson, Royal Executioner of France.
