142 Going to Versailles

In the Château de Chantilly, a week had passed since Napoleon successfully staged the coup, ousting the former government, the Directory, and establishing the Consulate. Now, in his bedroom, Napoleon prepared to don the First Consul uniform, meticulously putting on each piece.

Napoleon put on the First Consul uniform. It was a red coat with golden buttons and lining, and the white breeches fit him perfectly.

He looked at the mirror after donning each piece and struck a pose with his hands inside the waistcoat.

A knock on the door was heard and Napoleon straightened himself up.

"Come in," he said, and the sound of the door opening revealed his wife, Ciela, and their two children, Francis and Aveline. Ciela's eyes lit up with pride as she saw Napoleon in his official attire, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Looking sharp, my love," she complimented, walking over to him and adjusting his collar slightly.

Napoleon grinned, appreciating the support of his wife.
