"Sister!"

Lying on the bed, Augusta was stunned for a moment, and then whispered to Mathilde what had happened.

"See for yourself!" Princess Mathilde even telegraphed to Queen Augusta's hand.

Empress Augusta, who received the telegram, simply read through it, couldn't help but exclaim: "Oh my God! ”

Because of the high voice of Empress Augusta's shouts, he managed to wake up Crown Prince Friedrich, who was sleeping in the crib next to Augusta.

"Babble, babble!" Crown Prince Friedrich, who was forcibly awakened by his mother, immediately issued a "protest".

Princess Mathilde glanced at Augusta reproachfully as she went to Crown Prince Friedrich's crib and took Crown Prince Friedrich in her arms.

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! Princess Mathilde gently shook Crown Prince Friedrich in her arms while humming a nursery rhyme quietly.

After a while, Friedrich. Bonaparte stopped crying and looked at Princess Mathilde with his big bright eyes, giggling from time to time.

Looking at her nephew who looked like a porcelain doll in front of her, Princess Mathilde's heart was also filled with a sense of maternal love.

Queen Augusta, who was lying on the bed, looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart was also a little surprised.

With the arrival of the "confinement lady", Princess Mathilde handed over Crown Prince Friedrich to her, and then sat back at the bedside of Empress Augusta.

"Sister, is the war really over? Did we really go to war with the Russian Empire? Queen Augusta, lying on the bed, asked Princess Mathilde in confusion.

She could not have imagined that her husband would be able to fight the Russian Empire in such a short period of time and force them to sign a treaty that would humiliate the country.

A few years ago, she could never have imagined that she would become the queen of one of the most powerful countries in the world.

"Your Majesty!" Princess Mathilde replied to Empress Augusta in a solemn tone: "You read that right! The war is over! My little brother ...... (Princess Mathilde consciously broke her promise and hurriedly corrected it), no, Jérôme. His Majesty the Emperor Bonaparte has already defeated the Russian Empire! ”

Truth be told, Princess Mathilde herself felt a little dreamy.

It's only been a few years since they made such a big difference in the world.

A few years ago, the Bonaparte family was an upstart with an empty Bonaparte surname (in fact, they didn't have much money).

In just a few years, they became the masters of France, and relied on the French army and money to defeat the existence that their uncles could not defeat at the beginning.

Mathilde believed that any even the most imaginative bard could have imagined such a legendary experience, and that her brother and the Bonaparte family might really be loved by God!

Thinking of this, Princess Mathilde's face showed a proud smile.

My brother has finally grown into an amazing big man!

Just when Princess Mathilde was proud of her brother, Queen Augusta's voice reached Princess Mathilde's ears: "Sister, should we make this news public now?" ”

Princess Mathilde, who came to her senses, nodded and replied to Empress Augusta, "I think Your Majesty's purpose is for us to make it public!" ”

Later, Empress Augusta begged Princess Mathilde to leave the palace in her place to make the news public!

"I see!" Princess Mathilde nodded in response to Queen Augusta.

Then, after the two had spoken for a moment, Princess Mathilde left Queen Augusta's room.

……

Mathilde, who left the room, immediately sought out Mocal and gave him orders.

"Go to the newspapers now and tell them the news of the victory in France! I need to see this on the front page of the newspaper office tomorrow! ”

"Yes! Your Highness! Mocal hurriedly responded, and then quickly drove the carriage to the major newspaper offices to inform him.

……

Early the next morning, the whole of Paris was awakened by the news of the victory of the French Empire.

"Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers! The newsboy walking through the streets waved the newspaper in his hand and shouted vigorously.

"Give me one!" A passing gentleman called out to the newsboy.

The newsboy hurriedly handed the newspaper to the gentleman, who spread it out and read it.

The first thing that catches your eye is the news of the surrender of the Russian Empire to the French Empire: "...... The surrender of the Russian Imperial Army on the Crimean Peninsula is expected to be completed within a week, and 500,000 troops are feared to be imprisoned by France......"

The gentleman who saw the news had a proud expression on his face, and it had only been a little more than a year since the beginning of the war, and the French army had already won a great victory.

Now it seems that he had made the right choice, and that they would only succeed if they supported the Bonaparte regime.

The gentleman seems to have forgotten that he was against Jérôme. Bonaparte was crowned emperor of the minority.

……

As soon as the news of the victory of the French Empire over the Russian Empire broke, the very small number of die-hard Orthodox and Republican members lurking in Paris became desperate, even if they were unwilling to accept Jérôme. Bonaparte, too, realized that it would be difficult for them to overthrow Jérôme in a short period of time. The reign of Bonaparte.

The victory in the Crimean War made Jérôme. Bonaparte had once and for all the foundations of the empire (now the Paris newspaper only published the war in which the Russian army surrendered in the Crimea, and the republicans and orthodox did not know the price paid by the Russian Empire in the Crimean War), and there was nothing more convincing to the French people and army than a series of victories.

Even if they used the conspiracy to kill Jérôme. As long as all the Bonapartes are gone, the army and citizens will still be loyal to the Bonaparte family who can bring them victory.

And if they are traced, then the whole Orthodox/Republican will bury them.

Although the current French Empire does not allow orthodox and republicans to participate in politics on the surface, it still secretly allows republicans to participate in the management of the empire, and many moderate republican members have become part of the empire.

Members of the Orthodox faction also gathered around Empress Augusta and became an indispensable part of the imperial court.

Therefore, many Orthodox and Republican members immediately warned the extremists when they saw the news of the victory in Crimea, ordering them to give up.

Among the warning crowd was the once orthodox mainstay of lawyer Bailier and the republican "savior" Kafenjak.

The next evening, a grand banquet will take place at the Tuileries Palace.

The people in charge of organizing the banquet were none other than the two hostesses of the Tuileries Palace, Queen Augusta and Princess Mathilde, and the people invited to the banquet included not only the Bonaparte, Orleans, and Republican celebrities (the Monthills and Blanqués were not in the mainstream at all), but also ambassadors and generals, who could be said to be full of friends.

Before all the invitees arrived at the Tuileries, the Tuileries Palace was in a state of gold.

The candlelit gold and silver glowed brightly, as if silently flaunting the wealth, glory and power of the empire, and since the news of the end of the Crimean War, no one has despised the owner of this palace.

Now the whole of Europe will be prostrate under the Bonapartes, and the political center of Europe will return to Paris.

Once everyone had arrived at the Tuileries Palace, the feast began.

Everyone at the banquet looked solemnly at the Empress Augusta and Princess Mathilde, who were dressed up, and the Crown Prince Friedrich, who was quietly held in Princess Mathilde's arms. Bonaparte.

"Thank you for ......"

Before the banquet began, Queen Augusta thanked the guests who had been able to arrive at the Tuileries Palace, as was customary.

Then, the banquet officially began with loud music.

The Bonapartists, the Orthodox and the Orleanists arrived in front of Empress Augusta in turn to greet Empress Augusta and Friedrich. Dauphin Bonaparte sent his high wishes.

Empress Augusta thanked the visiting celebrities and praised them as pillars of the empire.

Part of the Orthodox faction (the Duke of Broy) and the Orleanists (Odillon. Barto) and even received an invitation from Empress Augusta in the hope that they would become the Crown Prince's teacher.

In the face of Empress Augusta's naked wooing, many members of the orthodox faction began to lean towards Friedrich. Bonaparte (note that it was Friedrich. Bonaparte, not Jérôme. Bonaparte).

The nobles, including the Duke of Broy, began to wonder if they would change their allegiance to the monarch.

Although Bonaparte did not have Bourbon blood, his merits are indeed obvious to all.

In contrast to the Count of Chambor, to whom they were allegiated, Jérôme. What Bonaparte lacked was orthodoxy.

And the new crown prince Friedrich. Bonaparte perfectly compensated for the lack of legitimacy in the Bonaparte dynasty.

However, after thinking for a moment, Duke Broy refused Empress Augusta's invitation.

Although Duke Broy declined the invitation, he recommended an orthodox nobleman for Empress Augusta who could be the Crown Prince's teacher, and hoped that the Empress would reward her son with a half-official position.

Duke Breuy's actions were undoubtedly a gesture of favor to Empress Augusta, who immediately made a decision to make Duke Breuy's son the crown prince's attendant military attaché.

After Duke Breuy left, the ambassador of the Papal States appeared before Emperor Augusta, who also relieved Empress Augusta of Pope Pius IX's blessing and informed him that Pius IX would come and send his blessing to the crown prince when the moon was full.
