The king’ authorities could not get the ** ** as per the king’ orders because there was neither a guillotine for cutting heads nor an **** in their kingdom. Then, they tried hiring a guillotine and an ** from their neighbouring countries. When they realized that it would cost them a large sum of money which had to be recovered from the people through additional taxation, they decided to ask a soldier to cut the **’ head. But, when they ** to find a soldier who would be ready to cut the ****’ head, they altered the **** sentence to one of imprisonment for life.
However, when they found that the cost of maintaining a prisoner in prison with a guard on duty cost the king dearly, they dismissed the guard and asked the **** to run away. But, when the **** told them that he had nowhere to go and no work to do, they offered him a pension of 600 francs and sent him away.

He visited the gaming tables and staked two or three francs, sometimes winning and sometimes losing. He lived comfortably and peaceably like the others.
