It had been raining continuously in Ajaccio for the past few days, and even the sea appeared to be wet. The thick and sticky rain pelted down the bay from the heights of the seemingly never-ending sky. The sea rose up in the muddled bay like a gray, soft sponge. However, in the continuous rain, the surface of the water did not appear to move; there was only an imperceptible, wide oscillation from afar, raising a hazy vapor on the sea. Whatever direction one went, it seemed like all one breathed was water, and the air was finally drinkable.

In the midst of this watery atmosphere, Joseph Bonaparte, the oldest of the Bonaparte family, long and thin as a bamboo pole, was walking along the beach of the coast towards the cliff that jutted into the sea, holding an umbrella. The cliff, now dyed greenish-gray like the sea by the endless rains, reached out like an arm into the bay. During the dry Mediterranean summers, Joseph and his younger siblings would come here to fish from the reef beneath the cliff or to hunt for various shells and oysters. The family's second youngest would take a book and run to a natural cave in the middle of the cliff to read at this time.

"How come it's raining now?" This isn't to make people worried about the guy; can't he go back to that cave? Joseph walked towards the cliff's edge, muttering to himself.

That uneasy man was his second brother, Napoleon Bonaparte, who was destined to leave a lasting impression on history. But, at the time, His Majesty, the future Emperor of Europe, was still a bumbling little boy.

Napoleon was the most troublesome of Joseph's seven younger siblings. He was probably a little odd because he was constantly mocked for not growing tall enough. Not many people, including his siblings, get along with him well. Napoleon was a small man, but he was also a violent maniac. When he is mocked, or when he is in conflict with other people, he prefers to use direct violence to resolve the conflict.

To be honest, Napoleon's size makes him unsuitable for use in this manner. Because, theoretically, fighting this thing requires strength, and strength and size are inextricably linked. Otherwise, why are weight classes used in boxing competitions? Because size and strength alone are insufficient, Napoleon was eager to use violence to solve problems. As a result, the little man devised two strategies to compensate for his lack of strength.

The first step is to attack weaknesses through unconventional means. For example, when people are defenseless, they can bite with their teeth or attack someone's vital point with their knee.

The second strategy is to be "the first to sue." This method is commonly used to deal with their brothers. There is no one who has many brothers who did not fight with their brothers when they were young. When there was a fight and Letizia, the mother, came to stop it in a panic, Napoleon was the first to complain and make a face that said, "I have suffered a lot." And because Napoleon had already practiced pretending to be poor and deceiving his mother many times before acting, he was always the one who hit the other brothers first, but it was the other brothers who were scolded by their mother in the end.

The brothers did not like Napoleon in this way, but they were all afraid of him and did not want to go against his wishes. There was only one person who was not only unafraid of Napoleon's methods, but could frequently dominate him. Joseph, Napoleon's elder brother, is the man in question. This is because, according to previous practice, when Napoleon and Joseph had a conflict, Napoleon first, when Joseph was defenseless, kicked Joseph in the small stomach. The defenseless Joseph was kicked backward, fell to the ground, and the back of his head hit a sharp stone, leaving him unconscious and bleeding all over the ground. Little Napoleon was also taken aback and terrified. He hurriedly dialed his mother's number......

Joseph was unconscious for two days before waking up. He didn't recognize his family when he awoke, and he couldn't even speak. No, he couldn't speak the Corsican dialect, a type of Italian, and opened his mouth in a strange language that no one could understand, which sounded similar to English but with many differences. His family believed he was possessed by the devil. According to Catholic records, Joseph's father, Carlo, was a nobleman, albeit a small, declining nobleman, and Joseph would have ended up in a tragic situation. Carlo requested that Bishop Minnie perform an exorcism ritual on Joseph.

The ritual was so powerful that even though Joseph had not fully recovered - he still didn't speak Corsican and his memory had not returned - he no longer spoke that strange, frightening, possibly hellish language.

"The devil was expelled from him," said Bishop Mignonette. But, like a house on fire, we put it out, but what's left is probably just rubble," said Bishop Mignone. When the devil takes control of a person's body, he can cause as much or more damage than a fire. It is a difficult task to rebuild the house now that the devil has been expelled, and it is up to God's will whether the damage will eventually be restored.

"Amen!" This was said by Carlo, Letizia, and Joseph's brothers and sisters all at the same time.

Then Carlo made a thirty-franc donation to the parish, which was a substantial sum in those days, and asked Bishop Mignonette to bring Joseph to the church for a period of restoration. After all, in a sacred church, the devil's damage should be repaired as soon as possible.

Carlo's decision was obviously sound. In church, Joseph recovered quickly, and within three months, under the bishop's tutelage, he had relearned how to speak and write Italian, as well as use Latin. Bishop Mignonette was fond of taking Joseph with him and telling everyone about him: "How wonderful is God's will, you see, that the devil has taken over this man's body." When I cast the devil out of his body in the name of God, all I saw was a burned-out wilderness. But God's light shone on him, and the wilderness grew back into a sapling, and the sapling grew quickly, and it will grow from a sapling to a real tree in the blink of an eye. God be praised, the Almighty and the Good." In his opinion, Joseph's restoration was both a manifestation of God's grace and, in some ways, a manifestation of his piety.

"Amen." He who heard this said so, while reaching out his hand and drawing a cross on his chest.

Bishop Minerva asked Charles to take Joseph home after being convinced that he had been fully restored. Everyone was relieved to see that the kind Joseph they had grown accustomed to was back. Only he was much quieter than before, and he had developed a reading addiction. He even started learning French on his own.

Letizia, the mother, was overjoyed at her son's transformation. She concluded that her son's health and well-being were due solely to God's grace. She gave a Mass to express her thanks to God for this. As a result, she could no longer listen to anyone who said anything negative about Joseph to her. How could her son, who had received God's grace, do anything bad?

As a result, Napoleon's evil tactics were no longer effective against Joseph. If Napoleon had tried to blame Joseph for something bad, Letizia would have reached out, twisted his ear, and sent him to the Virgin's icon to apologize for slandering his brother.

Napoleon, the wise young man, quickly realized this, so he had to make a compromise and respect his older brother Joseph.

Of course, Napoleon's attitude toward his older brother Joseph has shifted not only because he now has his mother's unconditional trust. It was also because his older brother had changed dramatically. In the past, despite his generosity, he was a fool. Yes, extremely stupid. As stupid as a nerdy goose. Big brother, on the other hand, has completely changed; his own little thoughts, which frequently just emerge, big brother can see through. But, even though he saw through it but did not reveal it, never step on Napoleon's trap. Furthermore, the elder brother has grown in knowledge; he has read a lot of books and knows a lot of things. Napoleon had a lot of things he didn't understand, so he could ask his brother, and his brother could also give most of the convincing answers to those difficult and strange questions.

Of course, the brother has a lot of changes that people dislike; one of the most disliked points is that, when answering Napoleon's questions, Joseph always likes to reach out to rub his hair, and will appear such a sentence: "My stupid brother, this question, it is so......."

Napoleon got into trouble again today when he beat up the neighbor's child Paul. He smacked him so hard that he passed out. One of Napoleon's own lessons in fighting was that if you do it, you must be bold and not hold back.

Mr. Giovanni, Paul's father, is Carlo's friend, and he only has one son. When Napoleon saw Paul passed out, he realized his father would probably beat him up for it, so he ran away before anyone could react.
