Capítulo 393: Today's Reports

October 30th, 1821. Palace of Versailles, French Empire.

It was late autumn in France. The trees around the Palace of Versailles were shedding their leaves, now turning shades of orange and yellow. The weather was getting cooler, a sign of the coming winter. Inside the palace, the daily routines of the court continued. The halls and rooms of the palace were busy with nobles and officials going about their business. Outside, the gardens showed the changing season, with fewer people visiting as the days grew colder. 

Armand walked down the ornate hallways, heading to Napoleon's office. He was carrying files important for the upcoming meeting with the Emperor. As he moved through the corridors, he passed various courtiers and servants, each engrossed in their own tasks. 

As they noticed him walking, they would pause their work and give him a respectful bow. Armand acknowledged their gestures with a nod, maintaining his brisk pace.
