Special Chapter: The Romantic Legend of Reims
This is a beautiful chapter celebrating love and courage, as well as a perfect hymn for the great French army.
A warrior, for the glory and dignity of France, threw himself before a scalding cannon muzzle without hesitation. A hundred comrades were saved, but he lost his left hand.
However, Miss Corinna, his beloved, did not shrink back in the slightest due to his disability. Instead, she resolutely chose to walk with him to the wedding altar.
Their love, like brilliant stars, illuminated the shadows of death and mocked the impotence of fate.
The Department of Veteran Affairs strictly followed the regulations set by His Highness the Crown Prince, appointing several officers to specifically ensure the warrior received his pension and subsidies, guaranteeing him a stable life for the rest of his days.
Even more heart-warming was that General Masséna personally presided over the wedding for the couple, creating a romantic tale that spread throughout France.
Newspapers from Reims to Paris competed to report this story, warming the hearts of countless people. The French, who value romance as much as life itself, witnessed the birth of greatness in their own way.
At the solemn engagement ceremony, General Masséna, acting on the Crown Prince's wishes, formally announced the betrothal of Sergeant Thwaite and Miss Corinna, while simultaneously announcing the sergeant's honorable discharge.
Thwaite expressed with deep emotion that his right hand was still strong and the edge of his blade remained sharp; he yearned to remain in the legion to fight for the glory of France. However, General Masséna dissuaded him with a regretful yet firm tone, encouraging him to cherish his life, live for his beloved and their future, and remain a loyal, law-abiding citizen, noting that he could still contribute to France in other ways.
