Paris, the French were holding a funeral for Napoleon III. The dense crowd outside was enough to prove the popularity of Napoleon III.
On this day, French workers collectively took a holiday, and capitalists had no choice but to follow suit. The title of "Socialist Emperor" bestowed upon Napoleon III was not a joke, as his influence among workers surpassed anyone else's.
People organized mourning activities spontaneously, and in stark contrast to the desolation in the original timeline, one could not help but see the irony.
While many attended the funeral, there were few guests of significance. The Bonaparte family's poor affinity with others manifested itself thoroughly here.
Royal families from across Europe seemed too busy; aside from those who depended on the French, the rest of the nobility only sent representatives, and some did not bother to send anyone at all.
