Jérôme. Bonaparte at the sight of Friedrich. After Bonaparte, a slightly tired heart was instantly healed.

Empress Augusta's smile widened, and she asked Jérôme again. Bonaparte's dinner tonight, do you need her to attend!
"It's up to Alphons. Rothschild over there! If he brings his wife with him, then he will have to ask the queen to lead his wife to another restaurant! "Jérôme. Bonaparte replied to Empress Augusta.
"Buy it!" Empress Augusta nodded to Jérôme. Bonaparte said, and then she glanced at her clothes and asked Jérôme. Bonaparte said, "Should I change my clothes!" ”
"Queen, no matter what you wear, you can reveal a noble and elegant temperament!" Jérôme. Bonaparte again boasted absurdly about Augusta.
