the delicate curve of his lips indicates empathy - the young duke has seen nowhere as much as she has , save for the ugly scars of his father’s grognards , a lifetime ago. but he understands , for he has seen the paintings celebrating campaigns disastrous. “ i , ah , understand. war is something terrible , isn’t it ? ” // anne carson sentence starters ; not accepting.
tyrans , tremblez ! vous allez expier vos forfaits ! // ind. hamilton!napoléon bonaparte.

WINGS BROKEN ; young napoléon never escaped from gilded cage crafted by austria. wither he does , like a delicate flower torn from its native soil - he has been dying for a long time. & so the bonaparte dynasty is gone before it could properly begin. peace he has found with himself , only regret remains - regret that he will never be able to live up to his father , regret that he will only be a name in history , nothing more.
melancholy smile offered , he knows she won’t leave. “ at least i shall imitate father in one way , to die in exile. tell metternich he has won , finally. ”
METTERNICH TRIUMPHANT ; but in death it matters no more - to rejoin his beloved father , that is the singular thought on his mind. pet bird flaps it’s wings mournfully , sitting on the cupboard. the duke raises an arm , points it to his bird. “ you will take care of him , will you ? ” ( an unspoken plea - do not die. ) // @criedhard , cont.
eagletmother.
It was so often disconcerting for Marie Louise to see her eldest son, her only son as far as he knew. He had her fair hair and her light eyes, and he towered over many having grown so much he was more than half a foot taller than his father had ever been at just 16 years old. Even with all that, his face reminded her so much of his father’s that it was startling, like looking at a ghost from the past. His passion for the military didn’t help either, as he sat across from her in his immaculate uniform.
“Franz, it is a complicated situation, you know that,” she told him, forcing herself to focus on the young man in front of her and not to let her thoughts stray to Albertine and William at home in Parma with their father.
“I was brought up to hate France, to hate everything associated with your father,” she went on quietly, twisting the bracelet she wore on her wrist, “I was not much older than you are now when I was asked to marry him, though in reality I had little choice in the matter.”
the eaglet’s jaw ( his father’s jaw ) tenses , he stands up, kicking the chair behind him. the TEMPER is not from his habsburg blood - above all things , he is a bonaparte. “ my name is napoléon ! ”
the duke starts to pace to and fro , hands folded behind his back , head tilted - focusing on the floor. truly , ‘tis an uncanny resemblance. “ yes ; opening your legs for neipperg is what we call a complicated situation - couldn’t you have stayed true to father ? neipperg is an austrian ! an austrian ! metternich’s S P Y ! ”
WHEEZING ; young napoléon stoops - but it remains only a brief interlude to his T I R A D E , “ i must go to saint-helena ! i must see his grave , return it to france ! please mother , let me not wither in this prison ! it is my duty to return to france , to RECLAIM her from the bourbon pretender ! i must continue his legacy ! ”
in the top ten of things that make me sad : the testament of napoléon
2. It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well. 3. I have always had reason to be pleased with my dearest wife, Maria Louisa. I retain for her, to my last moment, the most tender sentiments—I beseech her to watch, in order to preserve, my son from the snares which yet environ his infancy. 4. I recommend to my son never to forget that he was born a French prince, and never to allow himself to become an instrument in the hands of the triumvirs who oppress the nations of Europe: he ought never to fight against France, or to injure her in any manner; he ought to adopt my motto: “Everything for the French people.” 5. I die prematurely, assassinated by the English oligarchy and its assassin. The English nation will not be slow in avenging me. 6. The two unfortunate results of the invasions of France, when she had still so many resources, are to be attributed to the treason of Marmont, Augereau, Talleyrand, and La Fayette. I forgive them–May the posterity of France forgive them as I do.
honestly the face of franz ii freaks me out like
thats one big head you got there dude

“ must i end so young a life that is useless and without a name ? my birth and my death – that is my whole story. ” / ind. napoléon ii , pretender to the imperial throne of france. inspired by the play l’aiglon by edmond rostand.
Must I end so young a life that is useless and without a name? My birth and my death – that is my whole story.
Napoleon’s son, the Duke of Reichstadt (via shannonselin)
“The question isn’t why or how it could fall, the question is how did it last that long.” ;))
FURY ; eyes blinded - franz’ ceremonial sword is unsheathed : pointed at the man before him. ne’er shall he forget he is a prince of FRANCE , his father’s last wish. “ REMEMBER ! you are speaking to his son - i demand you take back those words ! as for your question - ”
FIERCE words are interrupted by a cough ( constitution not FORGED out of iron ) yet he DISMISSES it , “ he was a man of great nobility , embodiment of the revolution & universally loved by his soldiers. i still remember their hoarse shouts : vive l’empereur ! he was born to be a leader ; a leader like no other european nation has known ! i am proud to have his blood - even if he was but a mere corsican lieutenant to the english. ” // meme : shit someone’s history prof said , accepting.

“ But in vain, would they try to separate me from my BROTHER; while he proclaims morality and is the TERROR of scoundrels, I have no ambitions of other glory than that of sharing his GRAVE. “
oh god this is just so cute
he truly is his fathers’ son & with becoming older , his relationships with his mother have become tense at moments , if not strained. parbleu , he misses his beloved mama quiou. a frenchman rather than an austrian - franz ( he still hates the name ) wishes to break free from gilded cage , escape to the memories of the empire’s grandeur. “ mother , why is it you talk so little of father ? what was he like during the grand days of the empire ? please , i must know ! do not fear von metternich , his spies are not here ! ” // @eagletmother liked.
