September 2nd, 1821. At the Palace of Versailles.
It was late afternoon when Napoleon and Ciela walked arm-in-arm in the royal garden. Their eyes swept as they scanned the beautiful floras around them. It was their routine to walk in the afternoon together as it was the only time where they could enjoy each other's company as their presence was demanded in their work. Napoleon being the Emperor of the French Empire doesn't need an explanation and so does the Empress of the French Empire whose duties extend to managing their enterprises.
Trailing behind them is Daphne, her personal maid trailing behind her. She too enjoyed the view of the royal garden. It was more beautiful and exquisite than the garden in New France.
As Napoleon and Ciela walked, they talked about a topic discreetly.
"So you heard Tristan wanting to get Joseon by himself. As a father, what would you do? Are you going to let him do it?" Ciela said.
