Beach/ Private Suite on "Beauharnais" yacht
Alexandra: Ohh you are back! Right in time. It's time to dress up. You don't want to be late to His Imperial Majesty's birthday party, do you?
*silence*
Alexandra: Ekhm How was your spa day? Did you enjoy it?
*silence*
Alexandra: That's enough! What's wrong with you? You barely speak to me! Are you still mad about my late home return?
Hadrian: You think that's the reason why I'm mad? Honestly Alexandra you never cease to amaze me...
Hadrian: All this time I was calm and supportive. I knew you had a rough time. I stepped away when I thought you needed it. I took you for picknics, romantic weekends,holidays,spa etc. I was there for you. And you know what ? I've never heard a 'thank you' from your ungrateful mouth.
Alexandra: I don't think it's the right time for those sort of conversations. There is not much time left...
Hadrian: For you there is no such thing as "the right time"... *Alexandra walks away*
Hadrian: Ohh sure, run away from your problems! That's so you.

The morning after his return to Versailles, Napoleon V joins Charlotte at the Petit Trianon for what appears to be a peaceful breakfast. But beneath the quiet intimacy of the moment, the Regent calmly confronts her husband about the scandal caused by the photos published in Voici. Already familiar with Laura Delcroix from their years at Polytechnique, Charlotte refuses to see the young woman as a romantic rival and instead condemns Louisâs irresponsibility for dragging a serious and discreet naval cadet into a humiliating media scandal. Ashamed, Napoleon tries to apologize, but Charlotte ultimately chooses to end the conversation without drama, revealing a disappointment far colder.

After learning that his nephew has been frequenting nightclubs, Imperial Prince Henri sternly reprimands him about his responsibilities, reminding him that he is no longer merely a student, but a sovereign and soon-to-be father. He then informs him of an upcoming state visit to Thornolia in order to strengthen diplomatic ties with King Aurélien. Later that afternoon, Louis confides in his mother, Empress Marie-Joséphine, about Laura, who now refuses to speak to him after he confessed his feelings to her. Devastated, the Emperor admits that he loves Laura and acknowledges that she has become his closest confidante since the death of his father. Marie-Joséphine then tries to reassure him and encourages him to speak calmly with Laura once they are both ready.
FRANCESIM & THORNOLIA: Two French-Speaking Monarchies
H.I.H Imperial Prince Henri: It is a very protocol-conscious kingdom, rather isolated. Its origins and royal family line are deeply connected with Thalia, which as you know is a country who sought independence from us back in the 15th century.
The Kingdom of Thornolia has maintained a complex relationship with the Empire of Francesim for centuries. An island kingdom, Thornolia is renowned for its almost obsessive attachment to protocol, diplomatic discretion, and a certain form of aristocratic isolation. Yet behind its immutable traditions lies an old history deeply intertwined with Francesim.
The origins of the Thornolian dynasty can indeed be traced back to the ancient royal houses of Thalia, a territory once under French influence before the wars of independence in the 15th century. Following Thaliaâs separation and the conflicts that followed, several French-speaking noble branches sought refuge on a island, gradually giving rise to the Thornolian monarchy. This shared history explains why, despite their profound cultural differences, the two crowns have always maintained a mutual respect.
Over the centuries, Thornolia became one of Francesimâs most steadfast diplomatic allies, particularly during periods when imperial legitimacy was uncertain. During the 1980s and 1990s, when the late Emperor Napoleon IV sought to consolidate his accession to the throne prior to the Imperial Restoration, King AurĂ©lien was among the first sovereigns to officially recognize his coronation and provide discreet yet essential support on the international stage.

Laura finally admits that her feelings for Napoleon V date back to their years at Polytechnique and confesses her confusion after Louis openly declared his love for her. Until now, their relationship had remained unspoken, allowing them to pretend they were only close friends despite their growing emotional attachment.
Concerned for his sister but touched by the sincerity of her feelings, Adrien encourages Laura to stop sacrificing herself entirely for others and to confront what she truly wants.

Overwhelmed by media scrutiny and still hurt by Louis's behavior, Laura decides to leave their shared accommodation at the Naval Academy of Poulmic. As her brother Adrien helps her pack up her belongings, Napoleon V arrives hoping to speak with her. Upon discovering that she is leaving, he is overcome with emotion. Beneath his anger lies a deeper fear: that he may lose Laura forever.

After a tense discussion with Joachim in the operations center of the training ship, Napoleon V follows Laura into the corridors of the vessel. Shaken by the press article that has suddenly exposed her to all of Francesim, the young officer cadet feels completely overwhelmed. Laura refuses to become a threat to Charlotte, whom she deeply respects, and accuses Louis of losing himself in grief, scandals, and the confusion of his own feelings.
But Napoleon finally admits that his attachment to her has existed for months. Despite his marriage and his imperial duty, he always finds himself coming back to her. Torn between his role as sovereign and his emotions, he finally confesses that he loves Laura, whom he considers the only person around whom he no longer feels trapped by his life.
Just as they finally give in to a first kiss, another officer cadet abruptly interrupts them: the commander is demanding their immediate presence in his office.
