After two days of rest from Windsor Castle, Cavour was ready to set off again.

However, a sudden heavy snowfall completely imprisoned Cavour, who was already preparing to leave, in London and could not move.

The howling cold wind sent snowflakes from the clouds to every corner of London, and in just one night, the whole of London was already in a white world.

The streets, the houses, and the River Thames are all covered in snow.

Ships docked at the docks on both sides of the Thames were forced to dock in the frozen waters of the Thames because of the sudden heavy snowfall.

Knowing that he could not leave London smoothly, Cavour had to stop and hide in the hotel waiting for the "recovery" of the Thames.

The bored Victor Umberto also decided to take advantage of the snow that froze the River Thames to visit London.

Cavour's own identity was too sensitive to accompany Victor Umberto.

So, Victor Umberto traveled around London every day on his own.

Cavour also understood that children of Victor Umberto's age were themselves at a playful age, and Cavour did not mean to stop Victor Umberto.

Just "advised" Victor Umberto to be cautious when visiting Britain.

At the same time, Giuseppe Garibaldi was told about Victor Umberto's trip, hoping that he would be able to send someone to protect Victor Umberto.

Giuseppe Garibaldi readily agreed to Cavour's action, and he sent an entourage to keep Victor Umberto safe.

However, Cavour and Giuseppe Garibaldi could not have imagined it.

It was this entourage that exposed Victor Umberto, as well as Cavour, who had been traveling in a low-key manner.

The secret police, who had been lurking in London to spy on the French Republicans residing in London, recognized Victor Umberto's entourage as Giuseppe Garibaldi's companion at a glance when they spotted the retinue next to Giuseppe Garibaldi.

[PS: Although the mission of this secret police is to spy on the French Republicans, because the French Republicans living in London often communicate with Giuseppe Garibaldi and others, they also know Giuseppe Garibaldi and his deep retinue. 】

When the secret police discovered that Giuseppe Garibaldi's entourage was actually protecting Victor Umberto, they immediately became interested in him.

The secret policeman carefully wrote down Victor Umbato's appearance, and then returned to the secret base to draw Victor Umbato's general appearance.

The leader in charge of the secret stronghold immediately asked who the person in the secret police painting was.

The secret police shook his head and told his leader that he didn't quite know who the portrait was, but he saw that Giuseppe Garibaldi's entourage was protecting the child in the portrait, and he decided that the identity of the child must not be simple, so he (the leader) wanted to look it up.

After hearing the request of the secret police, the leader of the secret stronghold did not hesitate in the slightest, and took advantage of the fact that there was no one at night to secretly enter another secret stronghold and wait for the military attaché of the French embassy in London.

Since the military attache and the secret police agreed to meet every few days, and the most recent meeting happened to be today, the secret police quickly met the military attaché.

As soon as the two met, the head of the secret police wanted to meet with the British ambassador and said that he had something important to reciprocate.

The military attaché was certainly reluctant to allow the ambassador to meet with such a secret police.

Because plenipotentiary ambassadors are different from military attachés, once they are involved in a spy incident, it will bring great trouble to France.

After receiving a refusal from the military attaché, the captain of the secret police had no choice but to give the portrait to the military attaché, hoping that the military attaché would give the painting to the ambassador.

Their guess is not simple as the identity of the person in the portrait, since the person in the painting is Giuseppe Garibaldi

Entourage Protection!

The military attache opened the painting and examined it carefully, but unfortunately did not recognize Victor Umberto, so he had to take it back and tell the captain of the secret police that he would pass it on to the Great.

When the time comes, the ambassador will hand over the portrait to Paris.

The military attache quietly left the stronghold and returned to the French embassy alone.

When the military attache returned to the French Embassy, he immediately went to the Ambassador's room and knocked on the Ambassador's door

At this moment, the new French ambassador to London, Pessini (who was re-appointed by the emperor as the French ambassador to London due to his pro-British position), was about to lie down in bed and rest, and when he heard movement outside the room, he immediately rushed to the door and said, "Please come in"

The military attache respectfully entered the room, and Pesini then asked the military attaché, "Is there anything wrong with you at such a late hour?"

"Your Excellency, our secret police deployed in London have made a new discovery!" The military attache came to Percini, whispered a word to her, and handed over the portrait given to him by the secret police

Pesini took the folded portrait with a suspicious look on his face, and unfolded it.

With the help of the faint candlelight in the room, Pessini could see the person in the portrait clearly.

Looking at the familiar person in the portrait, Pesini couldn't help but say, "How is he!"

The military attache looked at Pesini with a puzzled expression and said, "Mr. Ambassador, what do you think is the person in the painting?"

Pessini raised his head and looked at the military attaché, and asked the military attaché word by word, "Where did you get this painting?"

The military attache reported the situation to Pesini, and after listening to the military attaché's report, Pesini's expression became extraordinarily remarkable.

"If it's really him, then things are bad!" Persini muttered quietly.

"Your Excellency, can you tell me who the person in the portrait is?" The military attache couldn't help but ask Pezini.

Pesini glanced at the military attaché and replied lightly, "If the secret police who painted this picture is not wrong, the person in the painting should say that Victor Umberto, the son of King Victor Emmanuel of the Kingdom of Sardinia!"

It's normal that you don't know him, even I met him by chance!"

"Why would a crown prince of the Kingdom of Sardinia stand with Giuseppe Garibaldi's retinue!" The military attache couldn't help but ask Persini.

"That's why I just said bad!" Pesini frowned and said to herself, "It stands to reason that when someone of Victor Umberto's status comes to London, the London authorities should pay attention to it!"

Why was Victor Umberto never received by the London authorities, and Victor Umberto should have been surrounded by his own entourage!

Why only Giuseppe Garibaldi's retinue followed!"

"Your Excellency, do you need me to order them to follow them carefully?" The military attache made a proposal to Pesini.

After a moment's silence, Pesini nodded and replied, "Yes!"

Later, Pessini added, "But tell the stalking agents!

Be sure to keep yourself safe and track!!"

"Understood!" The military attache responded.

……

Soon, the military attache conveyed Pesini's orders to the secret police lurking in London.

The secret police were to take part of the tracking of Victor Umberto, and soon they had information about the hotel where Victor Umberto was staying, as well as information about Victor Umberto's entourage.

The secret police saw the information they had gathered in the hands of the military attaché, who in turn forwarded all the information to Pesini.

Based on the information gathered by the secret police and his own speculation, Pesini determined that the entourage that followed Victor Umberto should be Gavour, the former prime minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia.

Cavour, who had been recognized as a reclusive by the outside world, has now sneaked into Lun

Tun, while Victor Umberto was accompanied by Giuseppe Garibaldi's retinue.

This forced Pesini to link Cavour with Giuseppe Garibaldi.

Considering that Giuseppe Garibaldi had already received financial aid from Britain, it seemed that he was now preparing to go to Sardinia for a big deal.

Pesini suddenly felt that the Kingdom of Britain seemed to be about to unite with the Kingdom of Sardinia to do something.

Pesini immediately encrypted the message and sent it to Paris via telegram from the embassy.

After nearly three hours of transmission, Pessini's telegram finally reached the Tuileries Palace in the early hours of the next morning

At this moment, the Tuileries Palace is silent, and only a few rooms in the whole palace are still bright.

The telegraph operator who was dozing off by the telegraph immediately came to his senses when he heard the ticking sound in his ears.

They hurriedly took the quill in their hands and carefully recorded the Morse code on paper.

After all the information was recorded, the telegraph operator found a document in a drawer to decipher the encrypted code and translate it.

Soon, all the ciphers from Britannia were translated.

The telegraph operator glanced at the cipher in his hand, then turned his head to look at the time, and he thought that he would wait until after dawn to report.

In this way, nearly five hours later, a cipher from Britain appeared in Jérôme Bonaparte's study.

Jérôme Bonaparte took a closer look at the contents of the cipher, and a gloomy expression immediately appeared on his face.

It was only after a while that Jérôme Bonaparte summoned Basilio to his study.

"Your Majesty!" Basilio looked at Jérôme Bonaparte in front of him and replied respectfully.

"Go to the docks of Orsay now, and tell the Minister de Ruiz that I have something to look for him, and I hope he will come as soon as possible!" Jérôme Bonaparte to Basilio.
