章節 302: Diplomatic Talks

According to the schedule, Napoleon was about to meet with the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Talleyrand. The time stood at five minutes to ten, affording him a brief window to make final preparations.

Having relinquished his role as the First Consul of France, he had shed the once-iconic red sash and uniform that had symbolized his leadership during the Consulate era. Instead, Napoleon had opted for a more contemporary and meticulously tailored ensemble.

His attire consisted of a refined gray suit, complemented by a matching long-sleeve button-down shirt, a discreetly cut vest, a neatly knotted necktie, and an emblem denoting the Legion of Honor tastefully affixed to his suit's collar.

It was a gift from his wife, Ciela, after his coronation. He liked the style and so he decided he'd ask her for more later.

Napoleon ran a hand through his hair, ensuring that every strand was in place. And with a final adjustment of his tie, Napoleon was ready.
