Anning drew his sword and placed it straight to the throat of the first Royalist who approached.
Louis XVII angrily exclaimed, "How dare you draw a sword in front of me? Is there no respect for the King's law?"
Anning didn't care about his protests, and with two swings of his sword, he brought down the men who tried to stop him. Then, with a lunge, he reached General Bouyer and with precise, embroidery-like swordsmanship, severed the tendons in his hand.
Bouyer let out a scream like that of a slaughtered pig.
Then Anning took another lunge forward, right up to the face of Louis XVII.
Louis XVII's eyes widened in surprise, his mouth opened to shout something, but that shout immediately turned into a whistling groan.
Because Anning had used the pommel of his sword to strike Louis XVII's throat, physically cutting off his words.
Immediately after, Anning, with the body of a man just past his twenties, charged towards the study's glass window.
