Today is the opening day of the zoo, and also the public holiday "Game Day," so tens of thousands of Parisians gathered here.
However, tickets are limited, and a third of the people didn't get tickets, leaving them anxiously waiting outside—fortunately, the zoo management said earlier that there might be additional tickets sold at 4 p.m.
Dressed in casual clothes, Joseph and Alexandra struggled to squeeze to the front gate, where Kesode handed a bunch of tickets to the check-in staff. The group entered through the gate under envious eyes from countless citizens who couldn't get tickets.
The Russian Princess, who had always adhered to rules since childhood, was pulled by Joseph through the bustling crowd and felt a sense of unprecedented freedom.
This is also why Joseph didn't come here as the Crown Prince, as otherwise it wouldn't be any different from viewing animals in the Versailles Palace Garden. Moreover, the Imperial Guard would certainly cause chaos among the tourists.
