For ordinary people, of course, they hoped for a wise and benevolent monarch like King Arthur. The Prince had once said that a ruler, especially a new ruler, could not possibly observe all the things considered proper for a good man, because to preserve his state, he was often compelled by circumstance to break faith, show no mercy, act inhumanely, and go against God. Therefore, he had to prepare himself mentally to change at any time according to the winds of fortune and the shifts in the affairs governing him, while departing from the path of goodness as little as possible.
Louis XVI had been a benevolent king. He ordered the Swiss mercenaries not to harm the Sans-culottes. Even before his death, he said on the guillotine, "I forgive those who caused my death. I pray to God that after my blood is spilled, the soil of France will never again be stained with blood."
He was a good man, but a bad king.
On August 10, 1792, when the Sans-culottes stormed the Tuileries Palace, Napoleon had stood among the spectators watching the spectacle. He would never allow the Imperial Guard to become Swiss mercenaries, nor would he let himself be publicly humiliated like Louis XVI. If that day truly came, he would rather drink the poison in the pouch around his neck.
No matter how furious he was, Bonaparte had opened this bottle himself, so he had to swallow it even if it was filthy. The scandal sheets could be dealt with by having the police issue warnings, but silencing those scoundrels was not so easy. Georgiana had absolutely no intention of cleaning up that mess for him.
She had not forgotten that this had happened because she had kept Sieyès in his position as president of the Senate
