Bab 143: The Palace of Versailles

Two hours later, the grand carriage carrying Napoleon and his family finally arrived at Versailles. As they approached the northern facade of the palace, they were met with an impressive sight—rows of French soldiers standing in a disciplined line, all at attention, as a mark of respect for their new leader.

With a gentle stop, the carriage gracefully came to a halt on the red carpet that had been laid out for their arrival. The palace staff, dressed in their finest uniforms, waited with anticipation, ready to greet the First Consul and his family.

Napoleon stepped out first and donned his magnificent First Consul uniform. His presence commanded respect, and the soldiers stood even taller, their gazes fixed firmly ahead. Ciela followed, radiating elegance and grace, her eyes shining with pride for her husband and excitement for the future that awaited them in their new home.
