Euler's equations for a rigid body express the change in angular momentum in the inertial frame $\vec L$ with respect to the non-inertial rotating system, butframe coordinates. See relationships (2) and (3) and the torques are expressed forassociated discussion in the answer by @David Hammen. You use relationship (3) in David's relationship (1) which is in the inertial system, where no fictitious torques are present. For

For example, see the explanations in Goldstein, Classical Mechanics or in Symon, Mechanics. This was confusing to me in my first Mechanics physics course.
