The galloping carriage took less than 10 minutes to reach their destination, Ahir. The mansion of Baron Fuld, in front of this mansion known for its luxury, Jérôme. Bonaparte once again felt the charm of money.

The mansion surrounded by iron fences on both sides covers an area of approximately Jérôme. The Rhine inn where Bonaparte lived was nearly 10 times the size, perhaps a god (or money?). The two proletarian revolutions in February and June did not cause any damage to the mansion, but the private buildings on both sides of the mansion were smashed by some revolution.

"Tut-tut! It seems that the shells of capitalism will also go around the rich! "Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't help but blurt out a wicked taste.

Jérôme. Mathilde, beside Bonaparte, did not speak, and pointed her slender fingers at Jérôme. Bonaparte's mouth pinched hard so that his younger brother could have a better memory.

"Shhh

Until Jérôme. Bonaparte rolled his eyes in anguish before Mathilde stopped her rude movements.

The two came to the entrance to the mansion, where the two guards guarding the entrance blocked Jérôme. The Way of Bonaparte and Mathilde.

"Beautiful lady, please show your invitation!" The guard spoke politely to Mathilde, his gaze fixed on Jérôme. Bonaparte's expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Jérôme. Bonaparte could only smile and nod at the guard, and Mathilde handed the invitation to the guard and said, "This is my brother Jérôme, and since he only arrived today, I pulled him here temporarily!" ”

After looking at Mathilde's invitation, the guard quickly knew that the person in front of him, who had some resemblance to the emperor, should be the son of Prince Jérôme, one of the most sought-after candidates for the presidency of France. Bonaparte.

For such a Parisian nouveau riche, how could they stop it.

The guard respectfully returned the invitation to Mathilde and made way of the way.

Jérôme. Bonaparte and Mathilde walked through the garden in front of the mansion to the bottom of the steps of the mansion.

At this moment, as the organizer of the party, Ahir. Fuld was standing on the steps of the mansion waiting for his guests.

Due to the image of the lack of light at night, Asher was made. Fuld didn't see that the visitor was Princess Mathilde, so he didn't care.

Until Mathilde and Jérôme. As Bonaparte gradually walked up the steps, Archer. It was only then that Fuld could see clearly that it was Mathilde and Jérôme next to Mathilde. Bonaparte was momentarily shocked.

In the hierarchy still retains the remnants of France, Achill. Fulder's behavior can be said to be a "humiliation" to the Bonaparte family, especially Mathilde's side and Jérôme. Bonaparte.

Ahir. Fuld quickly ran to Jérôme. Bonaparte bowed in front of Princess Mathilde and said respectfully, "The prince and princess are really rude!" ”

"Hmm!" Princess Mathilde held her head up as haughtily as a peacock, and her expression was unmanned, as if she was telling her displeasure with her hands.

Ahir. Fuld also knew that he was upset by neglecting the princess, and he could only wait with his hands crossed in embarrassment.

"Sister!" Jérôme. Bonaparte gently squeezed Mathilde's palm, then stretched out his hand and smiled at Archer. "Mr. Baron Fuld, thank you very much for inviting us to this banquet!" ”

Ahir. Fuld instantly grabbed Jérôme. Bonaparte's hand was enthusiastic about Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Thank you, Your Excellency, for being able to come to my banquet with a beautiful face! From you, I seem to see the emperor reborn in the world, and this country can only get out of the dawn of chaos by relying on the emperor! ”

Ahir. Fuld's excessive enthusiasm impressed Jérôme. Bonaparte couldn't get used to it for a while, and he could only follow Achill. Fuld's words continued: "God forbid! When we lose the throne, France can still have people like you who are attached and loyal to the Empire! However, times are advancing! We can't keep an eye on the Empire, there are still many elites like you in this Republic, and you can bring the country back to normalcy by working together, but I am confident that your loyalty will be rewarded! ”

Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Achill in an official style. Fuld said perfunctorily, at this stage he can't always talk about the restoration of the empire, he must wear the cloak of the republic.

"Your Excellency, look at the current republic, it's a mess, a mess of people gathered to discuss a nourishing topic! They are simply ruining this beautiful France! "Ahir. Fuld was indignant at Jérôme. Bonaparte said.

"The republic always has to progress! A newborn republic, we should give it a certain tolerance! "Jérôme. Bonaparte continued to answer in official words.

"I still think that the empire should be re-established to put an end to this chaotic situation!" Ahir. Fuld heard Jérôme. Bonaparte's estrangement, he did not believe that the prince did not have the ambition to restore the empire, but because he had only met him for the first time, and he believed that as long as he persisted in courting the prince, he would accept him.

Mathilde, who was standing on the side, suddenly spoke: "Baron Fuld, I think the party is about to begin!" ”

Ahir. Fuld looked at his pocket watch, and sure enough, there were less than five minutes left until the party opened at 11 o'clock.

"Quick! Come in! Come in! ”

In Ahir. Under the leadership of Fuld, Jérôme. Bonaparte and Mathilde entered the grand golden drawing-room.

"Gentlemen! Ladies! Let me introduce you to today's guest, Jérôme. Prince Bonaparte and Princess Mathilde! "Ahir. Fuld introduced everyone in the room.

All eyes were on Jérôme. Bonaparte with Princess Mathilde.

Despite wearing the same black corset as his uncle, Jérôme. Bonaparte was out of step with the attire of the whole banquet, but he still cared and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, and the image of Emperor Napoleon in people's minds was similar to that of Jérôme. After the image of Bonaparte was contrasted, the appearance of the two coincided.

During the banquet, several generals who had served under Emperor Napoleon couldn't help but shout softly: "Your Majesty! ”
