The Incorruptible Corrupted
🇫🇷
Just days ago, Maximilien Robespierre was the most feared man in all of France. A mere word could result in a man being sent to his death. Now, the once great orator sits silent and alone in a dark cell, his jaw shattered from a failed suicide attempt and his once-impeccable clothes a grisly blood-stained mess. Shortly before his date with the "National Razor", Madame la Guillotine, he looks back on his life and wonders if he really did do things for the good of France.
OR
In which Robespierre reflects on his life before his execution.

This is my first attempt of historical fiction other than some off Wattpad projects that I've written just for fun. Not everything from this book will be 100% historically accurate. Historical license, if you know what I mean. I also apologize in advance for any incorrect French that I may use. I am not a native French speaker and I haven't taken any French classes. All French words come from the occasionally inaccurate google translator.
Honestly, why am I doing this? This book is so depressing. Oh well. None of you will probably read it... Except for Evanaissante. Because you told me that you were going to read it. So I'm going to hold you to that. Except for not really. And also my boi dance_it_up. Because you had to read it to edit it. I'm sorry that I'm French Revolution trash. No. That's like saying I'm sorry for being Hamiltrash or a Potterhead.
ANYWAY... I'll end this forward with a GIF of happy Robespierre who doesn't want to execute anyone and this awesome parody video that I'm obsessed with. I know. I have problems. Enjoy!
