12.6 Madness; La démence

July 12th, 1797​

Napoleon looked tired. That was a rare thing indeed, for you to see at least. He was always energetic, full of life and energy.

You sat beside him, as he watched the twins walk around on their own, beaming with pride as they tumbled and rose again, with the energy that only youth could bring them.

"Seeing them reminds me how old I have become." He said to himself, before turning to you. "To think we started as such small creatures, unknowing how we may affect the world, with only our parents to guide us."

You frowned. "This is going somewhere, Napoleon? Isn't it?"

Napoleon did not answer immediately. But he looked to your sons and gave a sigh. "They are brilliant. They are walking when most still have trouble. They are talking in simple words, and they recognize their family."

You realized what he was speaking about. The future. "They are children Napoleon. I think it would be best to keep our ideas on what may be needed of them until they can understand."

Napoleon shook his head. "They are my heirs. They need to be ready to lead if something were to happen to me, to you. I do not need the ship of state to be without a captain if we were to lead."

You were shocked. "Napoleon, listen to yourself, truly listen to yourself!" You raised your voice and forced him to look at you. "You want to subject your sons, our children to an education that may make them statesmen, but they will not be our children! They will just be tools of the state. We cannot force them to be that. We cannot force them to be anything other than our children."

Napoleon stopped for a moment, chewing on your words. "But."

"We are not the Bourbons. We are not Monarchs, no matter you try to style yourself, and place yourself as one!" You said. "We are subject to the whims and fancies of our people. We lead them as a guiding hand, not tyrants."

You felt your hands shake as you paused, cupping Napoleon's hand. "If we will educate our children, they will receive the education they desire. I became a surveyor out of necessity, but a General out of desire, and training. They can learn from us… That whatever their desire, they can focus on it without fear. And become masters of it."

Napoleon paused and stared deeply into your eyes. He was without words.

Then he finally spoke. "You always remind me why I love you. You have wisdom that I cannot comprehend, grounding me to my core." He looked away back to your twins. A deep breath followed. "I'm-"

"There is nothing to apologize for, especially when you realize the error in your ways. Just as I do." You replied.

Napoleon held your hand, looking up into your face. "Will you walk with me, my Empress?"

"Maman." You heard Alex speak as he tumbled forward towards you.

You smiled and picked up your son. "You can come too."

"Papa." Roland said as he touched on his father's trousers.

Napoleon helped him to his feet and held his hands. Smiles on his face. His tiredness gone. Invigorated by his family.

"Of course." You replied.
-------------------------------------------------

Reward: Napoleon has deferred to your wisdom on how to raise his children, and decided to, as you put it, let them choose themselves. They will not be tools of his will, or the State, as so many monarchs use their children for.

But his Children first, and foremost will learn to be children.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

July 13th, 1797​

Napoleon frowned as you looked towards the list of names he has chosen. "I didn't think you cared so much about this matter?"

"I do. Especially because it involves Brian."

(Continued in: To Make Kings: Italian Edition.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You turned to Marshal Severin and felt a great deal of pride from his beaming face. "You are enjoying this far too much."

Severin for his part, did nothing to stop his smile. "You have given me a place to Train Riflemen." He paused as he pulled out his Baton. "I will make them the most fearsome shots in the world!"

The soldiers cheered as he proclaimed that. And in front of the instructors, was Louis, being uncomfortable as usual in full dress uniform, being watched not only by the Archduchess who had requested to watch the ceremony… but also Charles and Gabriella, who stood next to him.

"I still think Louis should wait until he's older to serve as an instructor." You stated.

"Nonsense, the boy's old enough and important enough to take part in this kind of instruction. The fact he's killed men will help greatly in that regard. And it's far safer than being on a battlefield." Severin replied as he knew precisely why you were being so cautious. "He's in my good hands. I promise you that."

You raised an eyebrow. "Every word you speak, and you continue to remind me why I shouldn't trust his life in your hands. I've read the reports from Marengo."

"He disobeyed orders. He seems to have picked it up from one surveyor I know…. Can't remember the name." Severin replied with a small smirk, causing you to give a Grin yourself. Even you could no longer be afraid of what you have become.

"Keep him safe from Politics Severin, I beg you." You said, the grin dimming.

"I can't really stop politics Empress, but I can shoot well," Severin replied looking to the Archduchess. "We can always start another war, just say the word."

You frowned now. "I think I'm done with war for one lifetime." You stated, making your will very clear.

"As you order." He replied with a smile. "Though we can't choose to stop fighting, not with Europe like this. We'll have to win or be destroyed. There is going to be a lot more war before this is over."

"And you hope for it?" You ask.

"No." Severin was very serious as he said that sole word. "But I know no one will accept anything until they are destroyed."

Reward:

The Riflemen's Collage has been formed, commanded by Marshal Severin, in addition to his duties as Commander of II Corps

Units of Riflemen can now be formed, and existing units can be retrained with only a loss of one unit of experience, though they can gain that experience back at only 2 battles instead of 3.

Rifled Cavalry can now be created as well.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vienna was everything you had heard about and more.

It was also terrifying to be without Napoleon watching your back.

But at least Julian was there to show you that yes, there was some fuckery about. "I can assure you, I am not a spy, I am protecting Charlotte Auclair, the Empress's daughter." He said once again as he saw you. "Oh… Uh… Empress, I can explain everything, once you get me out of these irons, and get me back to my Princess!"

This was going to be difficult, wasn't it?

(Continued in: To Shape Europe, An Austrian Affair Mini Arc)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were starting to think someone would never create something that could preserve food.

God Dammit.

Failure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Marmont took a breath and felt like he was about to die. "Empress, are you sure this is appropriate?"

You shook your head. "I'm asking to talk to you, over coffee, nothing more, what is so inappropriate about that. So speak plainly." You said, annoyed. "I'm asking you what you think about the new Corps System."

There was a pause before he spoke. "I don't really believe there has ever been a revolution in the military organization since…" He scratched his head. "Well, I'd say the roman legions, but that is clearly not right, or accurate, in the scale of Warfare. The fact that now, the organization of an Army can be placed into separate, independent commands, with a supreme commander, that being the Emperor over it... Christ, the number of possibilities that this has created can revolutionize how war is fought."

"Yes, and I've heard that numerous times," you stated. "Are you not the least bit angered that you are not commanding a Corps?"

Marmot sighed. "I do not feel worthy of such an honor. I have betrayed France, I cannot lead one."

"And If I were shot, wounded… killed?" You asked. "And one of my other commanders didn't know? What then?"

He frowned. "I-"

"If destiny comes do not hesitate. I didn't." You replied. "And I was lucky because I feel like my choice was made for me."

Reward: Marmot is now available as a Battlefield commander in VIII Corps.

He will take command of the Artillery if you do not automatically.

Unknown Effect on his rolls.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Davout did not allow you to meet you, as he was. Too busy.

You didn't realize he loved your name that much to spend an entire week with his wife and his staff, and their families, playing games.

But by God, you enjoyed the fact he enjoyed it.

Failure:

As it turns out, making a war game that is very accurate, as much as you can, means that he really likes playing it when not training his staff.

Rightfully so, as… You had a lot of fun creating it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You smiled as you looked at the confused Marshals among you. "Well, Gentlemen. We have two different Expansions, three new rulebooks, and of course, new scenarios."

The Marshals looked terrified. "You have three days to prepare before the tournament." You smiled. "Good luck."

"Why is the United States so overpowered?" Marshal Kellerman asked. "And riflemen gain an additional advantage at over 200 yards?

"Read the rules." You replied. "Now, onto the Brackets."

(Continued in: The Marshals War Game Tournament)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You had your family, and that was all that mattered to you at the moment.

And Brian's dog was so cute!

(Continued in: Family Time: The Uncle and Sons)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
De Lisle smiled as you tasted it. "So, you like it?"

You tried not to gag. "Tastes strong."

De Lisle took a breath. "Thank god, I'm not the only one who hates the taste. But it will keep for a long time, and it hydrates well."

"Can you produce it on a scale to supply an Army?" You asked.

"Now?" He asked. "No. But with-"

"Tell me what you need?" You asked.

He did.

Reward:

You have invested in De Lisles "Soldier's Wine"

This invention in 8 turns will be mass-produced and given to all units in the French Army, as a ration to keep them hydrated in emergency situations.

Supply Rolls will now have a +20 to their effectiveness for the remainder of the Quest.

Disease Roll will now only go up by weather and disease in the area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ladies, I was not expecting to use my husband's spy network to find out how much people like my book, but we decided that it was the most productive way to use them at this moment in time."

You then opened up the Pamphlet. "Please turn to page 5 for the reviews."

(Continued in: By Storm)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What is it with Politics that you despise so much?

The fact that everyone is a lying sack of… well the children would never forgive you for swearing.

Failure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Murat and Bessiere had some pointers to inform you of.

And you took the advice in Stride. Even though you lack true talent.

Reward: +1 to Cavalry command.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, you did not expect this kind of… both skilled planning from your Marshals.

And utter… improvization.

Were these men drunk while that made this plan?

They had to be!?

But it was utterly Brillient!

Click to shrink...

A. NAT. FUCKING. ONE! We didn't just write the most cringe, disturbed, incoherent, torturous, sin-against-writing piece of smut since *insert Amazon distributed self-published book of choice*, we were utterly crap at everything. The pseudonym was terrible, a child could decipher it. The local feedback laid a trail to us and undoubtedly outed our protagonist as being a total degenerate. Getting the book into English and subsequently European markets is blatantly done by the Imperial bureaucracy.

And only by the nigh-godly intervention of others is the empire not permanently tarnished by SV being Horny On Main, and Napoleon subsequently never seen without a bat.

 

[ThatGuyWithIdeas]

Magoose doesn't really do interludes for critical fails IIRC (though I could be mistaken here), and we had a +40 omake bonus on the book (and a +20 from character traits), on a DC 20 action. So, in this case, I think we've barely managed to negate the roll of 1 and turn it into a success (if not a particularily spectacular one). Let's wait and see the contents of the "By Storm" interlude before we talk more about the Novel roll.

[Magoose]

By Storm:

You were horrified with the final results of the novel. Yes, you had taken to following the instructions of the women's club, who were greatly helpful in the structuring, and the overall plot, if not the more minute details of the narrative itself.

You had just used your talent and personal experience to describe a scenario where Lancelot, the greatest of Arthur's Knights and the Lady Guinevere… decided to get together, where Guinevere decided that, after years of fruitless marriage, lack of respect and power over her own life, began the dalliance affair of love, and acceptance. Angering King Arthur, and causing Scandal in his court, to the point where Lancelot was exiled, and Guinevere secluded herself into a monastery for the remainder of her days, to never be with another man again.

You did not want the three sex scenes that were at the beginning, middle, or end of the novel to appear, that took away from the entire doomed romance and the narrative and politics you were trying to weave in. You felt they were forced, especially in the beginning scene, where Arthur all but raped Guinevere, which sickened you to no end.

You much rather would have never had them at all.

Yet the women requested you keep it, to show much greater, and more shocking detail of the abuse that Guinevere suffered from, and give a much more clearer picture to what forces her to find Lancelot's chivalry, respect and courage give to her so enthralling.

You found your best writing was not in the great bombastic moments between Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, but of the quiet scenes between Lancelot soliloquizing about Guinevere's situation, showing a clear empathy that no other person in Camalot gave to her, not Morgan, not Merlin and most certainly not the other knights, save for maybe Percival.

It was terrible. You thought it was terrible, but the Ladies of the Club were adamant that this was truly a work of greatness and that you needed to publish it immediately.

So you did and translated it too, asking Brian for Help with it, with his skill in Italian, English, and newly learned German.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brian: 7

https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwigcrsa

Brian was not amused with the finished product. "I didn't know I taught my sister how to write to use it to write this kind of… literature?"

"Brian, you know for a fact I did not intend for this to be like this, my original drafts were quite-"

"You narrative flow is horrendous, your grammar needs work, and I must truthfully protest the fact you gave Guinevere almost no agency, despite being the viewpoint character. Making her very reactive and boring." He critiqued. "I say scrap the whole thing and just make something better!"

"Brian, I've already promised the Women's Club i would publish it, at this form. I just need help translating it."

Brian's face was red. "Fine. But the next time you write something, anything like this again… I am the sole editor."

"Done." You replied.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Women's Society was ecstatic with good wishes and great greetings as you finally took the front stage and the podium.

It had been several weeks since the book was published, under the pseudonym "Fredrick Moncey." The name was actually a suggestion from Marshal De Moncey himself. Saying he wanted revenge on those British bastards who were hurting his Irish comrades.

And stealing his guns.

And that humiliation of the British was a good first step.

You cleared your throat. "Ladies, I was not expecting to use my husband's spy network to find out how much people like my book, but we decided that it was the most productive way to use them at this moment in time."

You then opened up the Pamphlet. "Please turn to page 5 for the reviews."

Britain Reviews:
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwi36ny0
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwi370o5

The Women of the British Empire loved the entire story. Without question, they adored the tale of a Heroine… being rescued by another man, even a french one who respected her wishes.

They found the story, much to your cringe, empowering to them, being able to take a bold risk of making themselves known in the relationship for their husbands and family.

Men Review:https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwiffsuc

Parliament immediately try to ban the book, as the men, for a lack of a better word, felt emasculated by some french writers' attempt to make them feel bad and ruin their myth.

But there were so many in circulation, that was impossible to do.

German reviews: https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwih8m9d
https://rolz.org/embed?jgyx2ov3nq:kwih8qzw


In Germany, the Women just find it an interesting read, while the men were just… laughing at it, calling it an unrealistic fantasy.

But a trash fantasy that has made many young men try the things that were described with their girlfriends.

To many successful pregnancies and teenage hijinks later.

And it's free for the French army.
