After a lengthy dinner with his associates, Napoleon wearily returned to his estate. The night draped the surroundings in darkness as he approached the facade of his home, noticing the absence of any lights. It was clear that everyone had retired for the night, leaving the estate quiet and serene.
As he stepped off the carriage, Napoleon turned to Bessieres, who led the escorts of vigilant cavalrymen assigned to protect the newly appointed First Consul.
"Thank you, Bessieres. You and your men may stand down for the night," he said, acknowledging their dedication to his safety.
Bessieres nodded respectfully, "Of course, General Bonaparte. We will be on alert should you need us again."
With that, they turned their horses and rode off into the darkness, leaving Napoleon alone on the grand estate grounds. He took a deep breath, relishing the silence that enveloped him.
As he made his way toward the entrance, he could hear the soft rustling of leaves in the gentle night breeze.
Just because it's epilogue doesn't mean the story is ending. It's just my way of ending the volume, which is the rise of Napoleon. Now that he became a consul, volume 3 will be titled Napoleon as First Consul. In this volume, you will see Napoleon implementing reforms, improving the situation of France, infrastructure projects galore, mostly administration. There will also be war scenes where Napoleon crossed the alps and defeat the Austrians besieging Genoa. And then, there will be Napoleon overeseas colonial ambitions especially in North America and deeper part of Africa. Then war here and there, and arms race. There will be al ot of things happening in this volume. That's all, thank you for reading this book.
