Due to the visit of Her Highness the Princess of the Two Sicilies to Paris, the French Guards, as part of the Paris Garrison, naturally assumed the responsibility of escorting her along the way.
And General Besanval, the commander of the French Guards, became the busiest person.
He had to ensure that all officers and soldiers remembered every step of the reception, along-the-way vigilance, and escort process before the princess's arrival.
Such affairs could not afford any mistakes. Therefore, he had to personally oversee the troops, repeatedly practice the entire reception and escort process along the princess's predicted route, and only then could he feel reassured.
Thinking of the upcoming visit from the Grand Duchess of Tuscany, he felt a headache coming on.
