Bab 299: Marshal of the Empire & Distribution of Eagle Standards

Five o'clock in the afternoon. Inside the Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors.

Napoleon and Ciela sat at their respective thrones, with Francis and Aveline standing on either side. Before them were the finest generals of the Republic of France, kneeling to their new Emperor. 

Napoleon rose to his feet, grunting softly due to the weight of the coronation mantle pulling him. But nevertheless, he stood straight. In this part of post-coronation, is one of his important duties. That is, recognizing the gallantry of the generals that served during the revolution, the first and second wars of the coalition.

"I shall now start the bestowment of the rank of Marshal of the Empire. It is the highest honor in the French military, and those who will receive it have shown exceptional courage, leadership, and dedication to the Republic of France,"  Napoleon declared.
