"Louis Monegasque," he squeaked, "You have been charged of treason against his majesty and furthermore convicted of committing villainy, thievery, and murder. Due to these abominations before man and God-"
Louis stopped listening. He had indeed committed all that he was accused of but his treason, villainy, thievery, and murder had only applied to the tyrannous, villains, thieves, and murderers. His gallantry was the only thing that condemned him now.
"... should you repent before God and divulge the names of your companions, your life will be spared."
Why not? Louis thought, All of my companions are dead, so it is of no consequence. Just one little lie and I will be allowed to live.
"No." Louis finally said.
"Then I here-by sentence you to death."
louis has got to be my favourite name ever :P
