The Lonely Prince's Lover [Granger x Guinevere Fanfic] [MLBB]

Chapter 9 [End of Pain and Misery]

[Location: The Emperor's Palace]

Napoleon was in his room, thinking about his son and decided to call the other Marshals and ask them about Granger whereabouts. A few minutes passed, and finally the Marshals arrived in the Emperor's room.

Napoleon: A lot has change since I'm gone a year ago, huh?

Davout: Not much, Your Majesty.

Napoleon: Talking about that, did any of you know about my son whereabouts?

Ney: Nothing so far, Your Majesty. The last time we heard his news is he head towards Austria.

Soult: That was a few months ago.

Napoleon: "Sigh" Without him, I'm afraid we will lack of officers in the battlefield later. And he is the commander of the Imperial Guards.

Grouchy: I can replace him for you, Your Majesty.

Ney: You sure, Marshal Grouchy? You lacked the boldness and confidence to command independently. How should we trust you with the Imperial Guards?

Napoleon: Let him, Ney. It's time for him to prove himself worthy to command the Guards. If he think he can, why should we stop him? Remember, there must be a reason why someone wanted to do something, and his reason is to prove himself worthy. And with that, Grouchy, I promote you to become a Marshal of the Empire. I expect you to not disappoint me.

Grouchy: Thank you, Your Majesty. I will do my best to win the war.

Napoleon's mind: If only I can go to Austria... I want to see my son.

Napoleon: How much will the coalition army will head here?

Davout: As far as I know, If we take a battle with them when all of them joined forces, it will be a 1vs4 fight. So I think It's better to destroy them one by one. The nearest coalition forces is the British army commanded by Duke of Wellington, Your Majesty. They camped near Waterloo position, but the problem is, the Prussian army is at the right wing of the British army. If we try to take a fight with Wellington carelessly, they maybe try to flank us.

Napoleon: I have a plan, Marshal Ney, you will be in charge of the left wing, we will take a fight with the British and flank them. If the Prussians wish to counter us, Marshal Grouchy, you play a important role in this battle, try to distract the Prussians by attacking their rear, if they run, pursuit and finish them. If done, regroup with us in the main battlefield. I will command the center army. We will use the Guards as finisher to the British. Our target city is Brussels, everyone understood?

All Marshals: Yes, Your Majesty!

Napoleon: Good, dismiss.

Then the Marshals head out of the Emperor's room.

(Massive Timeskip, near the end of the famous battle of Waterloo. Napoleon release the Old Guards and the arrival of the Prussians. So sorry, I have too many ideas and my head is spinning which one to write.🙏🙏)

(If you want to know, this scene is from a movie named "Waterloo (1970)". Of course the battle itself is longer than this but if I write all of it, it may take a long time to complete this chapter soo I added this video for you to see the epic but bad ending for Napoleon.)

After the scene, the last veteran of the Old Guards formed square formation and was finished by the British artillery skirmish fire. As the quote say, "The Old Guards does not surrender, but dies bravely in the battlefield".(Note: Skirmish means artillery close range fire as far as I know. Since artillery are usually used for long range, a close range can be deadly like shotgun at close range.)

Napoleon retreated back to Paris and blamed Grouchy for not arriving in the battlefield. In the Emperor's room...

Napoleon: WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN GROUCHY??!! I TOLD YOU TO REGROUP AFTER YOU DONE WITH THE PRUSSIANS!!

Davout: We can't blame him, Your Majesty. Intelligence give us a wrong information here. Maybe some of them work for the King and give false information. What we don't know now is, the Prussians divided their forces into 2. The one that Grouchy pursuited is the reserve, while the main forces already arrived on our flank.

Napoleon: There is no use to talk about that now, we lose the battle. Now they will head here. I'm dead.

Grouchy: I'm sorry, Your Majesty.

Napoleon: Do what you want, Gentlemen. This war is over.

After that, the coalition reached Paris and the First French Empire was dissolved. Once again the King rulled France and Napoleon was sended to St. Helena and some of the Marshals were executed but some of them are also free to begin a new life, including Granger who is currently at Vienna, Austria. Becoming one of Beethoven's student playing the piano. Granger title as a prince was striped off to his younger brother, Napoleon II. But it was part of Granger wish to become a normal civilian. The title stript was the most mercy punishment after all he had done.

(Note: All history inaccuracies are a purpose of dramatic story. But I assume you all understand it.)
