At precisely nine-thirty o'clock in the morning, the heart of Paris buzzed with activity as a Royal Convoy smoothly made its way down the paved expanse of Champs-Élysées, bordered on both sides by towering Haussmannian buildings. Crowds had flocked to the boulevard, enthusiastically waving small French flags and erupting into cheers and whistles as the convoy passed by.
The much-anticipated return of the Imperial Prince, Tristan Bonaparte, and his sister, the Imperial Princess Daphne Bonaparte, was the cause of this public fervor. The event had been publicly announced a week prior, sparking widespread excitement and a palpable sense of national pride among the Parisians, who turned out in droves to partake in the momentous occasion.
Inside the royal automobile was the Imperial Family of the Empire of France. Napoleon, Ciela, Tristan, and Aveline. They looked out of the windows, waving their hands back to the enthusiastic crowds.
