Bab 287: A Peek to Napoleon's plan for Expanding France Sphere of Influence and the News

April 5th, 1802. Nine o'clock in the evening. 

In the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon held his newborn son, cradling him gently as he rocked back and forth. The baby, swathed in fine silks, lay quietly in his father's arms, blissfully unaware of the world outside.

Napoleon looked at his son, whom he named Tristan, affectionately. He was almost two months old, having been born on the 12th of February.

"You will become the Emperor of Spain," Napoleon whispered softly to his son before placing a gentle kiss on his forehead.

His wife, Ciela, lay on the bed nearby, her eyes filled with warmth and love as she observed the tender moment between father and son. The birthing had been difficult, and she still bore the signs of her ordeal, but seeing her husband with their child brought a deep sense of contentment.
