I, the sinner, will never die on the guillotine

Chapter 5 Sorry, I came at the wrong time

"what?"

Louis' face was full of question marks.

What does "can only serve as a partner" mean?
Louis looked at her, and she smiled at his confused look.

"Is that weird? I chose you.

Even if I wanted to get rid of those clingy people, I wouldn't just find someone to take the blame.

The prerequisite for selection is that the person must at least meet my basic mate selection criteria. It seems that I have a good eye for selecting people."

Suddenly, Louis seemed to understand something and swallowed subconsciously.

"Hidden plot?"

In the diary, the original owner of the relationship had only cooperation and shielding relationship with Beatrice. Was it purely because he was unqualified and was eliminated at the beginning?
Should!
No wonder he was nailed as a collaborator until the princess died.

No wonder he always used "Beatrice-sama" in the diary instead of calling her his wife.

Louis thought that the original owner was really so honest and their relationship was denied from the beginning.

Even if I give you a chance, you won’t use it!

But Louis quickly came to his senses, looked at Beatrice, and said bitterly:

"Don't think too much. I can control myself. I just want to live a stable life."

——Refers to the fact that he will not be sent to the guillotine again.

His eyes were a little dazed, and Beatrice seemed to see some emotion in his eyes, which seemed to be... fear.

Her eyes became softer:
"Don't worry, even if the White Tower finds out, they can't touch you now."

——She mistakenly understood Louis’ fear as the aftereffects of the White Tower experiment.

Louis came back to his senses and nodded subconsciously, only then he noticed that she was talking about the "White Tower" instead of the guillotine.

What the two people said are totally irrelevant.

But what’s funny is that we really got on the same radio waves.

But Louis thought about it and realized that it was true, the White Tower was also a threat.

"Is there any way to improve your career level?"

Beatrice nodded: "Level 1 warrior, in the Empire, even ordinary adventurers at your age are almost level 3...

But that's true, you've lived in the White Tower for many years, but you haven't had the opportunity to upgrade your career level.

I have arranged for you to be taught by the royal family. He will take you to practice and see if you can learn the Nine Swords of the Enser royal family first. "

Louis was overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, there was a pleasant surprise: "That couldn't be better."

Beatrice thought of something and suddenly stood up and approached Louis, her slender figure leaning forward.

Louis stepped back subconsciously.

She showed an amused look on her face, lifted his face and said:

"As a price, I hope you can agree to one condition of mine."

"what?"

"Call me Beatrice, not Your Excellency...Louis, do you want others to discover our transaction?"

He could even feel the breath between Beatrice's lips and teeth, as her voice was slightly threatening.

Louis held his breath and nodded: "Beatrice..."

Then she smiled.

My mood suddenly improved.

Yes, that's how it should be.

Just then, there were three knocks on the door of the Chancellor's room and the door was pushed open.

The lady-in-waiting who had just left walked in, with one foot suspended in the air, and watched as the princess she served was cornering Prince Louis.

She subconsciously retracted her feet back out of the door:
"Sorry, I came at the wrong time."

boom!
The door closed again.

After a moment, the door opened again.

The lady-in-waiting came in angrily, grabbed Beatrice and took a step back.

"Your Highness, as your assistant lady-in-waiting and etiquette manager, I must remind you that you and His Royal Highness Louis are not officially engaged yet. Please maintain the proper etiquette of the royal family."

Beatrice smiled awkwardly and was pulled to the back. The lady-in-waiting looked at Louis, who looked a little confused, with a serious expression.

It's confirmed. It must be Lady Beatrice's doing.

She gently pulled Louis to sit beside her, then handed a bag of gold coins to Beatrice.

"Your Highness, I have brought it."

Beatrice took it, turned to Louis and said:
"I heard from the maid that you don't seem to like others touching your tail?"

Louis nodded.

He wasn't a born succubus, so the feeling of having an extra limb was something he was not used to.

"Don't let anyone touch you."

Beatrice smiled happily, her eyes following the swaying tail behind Louis, and after a moment she said:
"In your Prince Trial later, I will have Olivia add the Nine Swords training for you. Also, since you want to go to the second-hand market later, don't hesitate to spend money."

Beatrice took out 100 gold coins from a bag, put them in the bag, handed it to him and said, "Take it and spend it."

"30 silver coins will be enough."

Louis just said this, and then found that his hand had unconsciously taken the gold coin, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

You are so greedy.

Also, isn't it 30 gold coins? Why is it more?
You bad woman, you want to send me to the guillotine, right?
"This is pocket money given to you by your lovely and beautiful fiancée. I'm happy today, so just spend it obediently."

1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10000 copper coins
The purchasing power of 1 silver coin is roughly equivalent to a hundred-dollar bill in Daxia in the previous life.

Beatrice's bag of pocket money... a million dollars.

He couldn't help but think of an emoticon in his mind.

The life you dream of.jpg
The corners of Louis' mouth twitched slightly, and he opened his mouth and tried hard to refuse.

But as soon as I thought about returning the money, the heart-wrenching pain spread.

He gripped the purse tighter.

The power of greed was rebelling against his will.

hiss!
This thing is a bit too scary!

Seeing Beatrice looking at him with a smile and not intending to take the money back, he could only sigh and say:
"I've accepted the money. I'll save it for you. I won't spend it recklessly."

Beatrice smiled even brighter:
"Bring a personal guard with you when you go out and have him hold it for you."

Louis nodded.

Safety first.

But when he walked out the door and saw the bodyguard, his right foot froze and the little tail shaking behind him suddenly shuddered.

It seemed like countless memories were rushing out of my mind.

……

"Hey, Huoguo, don't move!"

……

"When you kicked me out of the Guards because I stepped through the gate with my right foot, did you ever think this day would come?"

……

The words echoed.

He subconsciously took a step back.

It was the soldier who took him to the guillotine.

"Your Highness Louis, this is William Sean, a loyal and brave Iron Guard, professional level 11. He will accompany you to the street later."

How could Louis not know?

It was so painful when he was holding me down.

It was written in the diary that this person was originally assigned to be a personal guard beside the original owner.

At that time, the original owner was still a prince. In the first few years after he escaped from the White Tower, he had nightmares from time to time, so much so that he would be in a very bad mood after waking up.

Once when he was on tour with Beatrice, this bodyguard came to him early in the morning to take on the task and asked him to make a report.

It happened that Louis, who was in a bad mood because of waking up, was in a bad mood. So Louis used the fact that he stepped into the door with his right foot as an excuse, humiliated him, and then directly expelled him from the group.

Louis was shocked when he read the diary.

What a false accusation.
