February 17th, 1801. Palace of Versailles. Napoleon and Ciela stood near the main entrance, their gaze fixed on the five elegant horse-drawn carriages approaching.
The moment had arrived for Napoleon to engage with the ambassadors representing the countries bound by the Second League of Armed Neutrality. These nations included the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, the Kingdom of Denmark-Norway, and the Kingdom of Sweden.
Napoleon adjusted his uniform, feeling the weight of the impending discussions settles on his shoulders. It was time for diplomatic exchanges that could shape things up. Ciela stayed put, adding a calming presence.
As the carriages rolled to a halt, the palace staff moved into action, assisting the ambassadors and their entourages to alight from the carriages.
