The imperial court’s grand hall glittered, a cavern of chandelier light and held breath. At its far end, upon thrones of velvet and gold, Emperor Napoleon and Empress Joséphine presided, immutable as statues. Below them, Princess Pàuline waited, innocent of the revelation about to unfold. Then the noble sea parted. Princess you entered, not as a guest but as a statement, four ladies-in-waiting in uniform tan dresses forming a living escort. Her advance was less a walk than a claiming of space, a procession of pure power and grace that drew every eye and choked every whisper. She moved toward the throne, and her presence imposed a silence that felt heavier than any command.
