「 Innocent Rouge 🥀」

Charles-Henri Sanson is the executioner to whom the French court entrusted the most ruthless sentences, the one whose hands carry the weight of decrees sealed in blood. Family heritage runs through his veins, binding him to a fate he did not choose. To his eldest son, Henri, he taught that the office is both a burden and a duty—impossible to abandon.

In public, his impeccable bearing commands respect, whether out of fear of the curse many believe to surround the Sanson family, or because his mere presence evokes, however reluctantly, some recognition of his intellect. He is a man who perceives the smallest fissures in the human soul—the trembling of a hand, the furtive averted glance, the last breath caught between teeth. It is there that Charles lives divided, as if walking a tightrope where one false step would result in the guillotine blade descending on his own neck.
