After the antics of Jerome Bonaparte and Jean Dulles, time swiftly moved to December.
Carrying a sense of loss, Jerome Bonaparte and Augusta, after inspecting several important provinces, returned to Paris.
Upon their return, Jerome Bonaparte seemed like a changed man, locking himself in his study all day, issuing orders that no one was allowed to approach during this time.
When hungry, he asked Vilnius to prepare some food for him, and when tired, he simply lay down and slept on the table.
If there were urgent documents that needed handling, the secretariat could hand them over to Vilnius directly.
Forgot to mention, Vilnius is still serving as the dedicated secretary to Jerome Bonaparte, while also acting as the lady-in-waiting to Empress Augusta.
Having grown up in the Royal Palace, Augusta naturally understood the relationship between Jerome Bonaparte and Vilnius. Augusta knew that the Emperor could not entirely invest his time and energy only in her.
