[Location: Paris, The Emperor's Palace]

Inside the Emperor's room...

Granger: I need some fresh air... Want to take a walk outside, dear?

Guinevere: Can you walk? Standing up is already hard enough for you.

Granger: I need to go to a place, the place that I will always remember...

Guinevere: Alright then, anything for you, dear.

Guinevere helped Granger to stand up.

Granger: Let the maids take care of the babies. It will be hard for you to take care three of us if you bring them along...

Guinevere: We'll just bring some maids to hold the babies, they will follow us wherever we go. Is that okay?

Granger: Alright...

Then they went out and call the maids.

Guinevere: Maria?

Granger: Yeah, one is enough...

Maria: Where are you going, Your Majesty?

Guinevere: Can you help me hold the babies and follow us?

Maria: With pleasure.

Maria went inside the room to take the babies, and went outside. Guinevere closed the door before all of them leave. They walked downstairs with all person in the palace looking at them, worried.

Oudinot: Your Majesty? Where are you going?

Granger: Just want to went out to take some fresh air... "Coughs"

Oudinot: We'll escort all of you, Your Majesty. Grouchy, call the Old Guards.

Grouchy: Right away.

Granger: We'll be waiting outside... Come on, let's get outside dear...

Guinevere: Okay.

Granger: I forgot to say, Oudinot. Don't prepare the carriage, we just want to walk...

Oudinot: Yes, Your Majesty.

Then Granger and the others went outside while the Guards are preparing to escort them.

Guinevere: We ready to go, dear?

Granger: Let's go, the sooner the better...

Then they walked outside from the palace's gate. They keep talking each other while on their way to destination, Granger is showing the path, while the others just follow what he say.

Guinevere: So, dear. Why do you want to take a walk if we can ride a carriage?

Granger: It's because I want the citizens think we are just like them, ordinary citizen with no special thing about us...

Guinevere: "Sigh" You have changed, dear.

Granger: Nothing changed, I'm still me, and you are still you, dear...

And finally they arrived at the place, it was a cliff, with blowing winds and birds chirping.

[Location: Somewhere not far from the palace]

Oudinot: Huh, this place...

Granger: We arrived, at last...

Oudinot: Why are we here, Your Majesty?

Granger: Memories... A good one... All of you, I need to tell something...

Macdonald: We are listening, Your Majesty.

Granger: After I'm gone, I want you to tell my uncle to help other countries with their economy to repair the damage caused by the war once... I wish there will be no more war...

Grouchy: Why would we do that, Your Majesty? Some of the monarchs still hate us from the previous war. They may refuse for our help. They also destroyed our place when they invaded our border, killed citizens, executing your father's best friend.

Granger: Were we so different?

And everyone remain quiet for a while.

Granger: We also destroyed their homes, killing their citizens or taking them as slaves... We also killed some of their best officers, brutally... It is a nescessary help, we cannot let them pay for our doing once...

Oudinot: ...

Grouchy: ...

Macdonald: ...

Granger: You guys know? My father once bring me here, telling something that I will not believe... He said there is a legend about a person being revived from dead... And that person is one our my ancestors...
He said it was a talking tree or something, my memory is fading, ughhh... Maybe it can revive me?

Oudinot: Your Majesty, I'm sorry to say this, but maybe your father was just teasing you, you are still a kid that time by the way, Your Majesty.

Granger: Huh, maybe... But if there is one thing that I know about my father, there must be a reason why he say something... He is not a cheerful father...

Guinevere: A talking tree... Did your father tell you where is it?

Granger: You believe it dear?

Guinevere: Yes, I believe... I will do anything for you to stay alive... Including giving my life...

Granger: There is a reason why god pair us together dear, we have a same thinking, I also believed it... How unfortunate my father didn't tell me about where is it, I think the name of that talking tree is starting from B letter... Yeah I remember my father saying that... I can't remember the full name though... I believe you will find it out one day dear...

Guinevere: B... B letter... Who could it be?

Oudinot: I don't believe it but, we all will help you, Your Majesty.

Guinevere: Good.

Granger: Alright, let go back... We are done here...
