Chương 435: The Process

In Napoleon's office, a week later after his announcement to his children about the situation of his health. Napoleon and his chief advisor, Armand, sat across from each other, surrounded by legal documents and historical texts on imperial succession. 

Napoleon, looking weary yet resolute, initiated the conversation. "Armand, we need to thoroughly understand the legal framework for my abdication. The succession of Francis must be seamless and adhere strictly to the constitutional protocols of our Empire."

Armand, well-versed in imperial law, nodded in understanding. "Your Majesty, the abdication process involves several key legal steps. Initially, you must issue a formal abdication notice. This document, once drafted, must clearly state your intention to abdicate and the reasons behind this decision, ensuring the stability and continuity of the Empire."
