Just one and a half hours after Jerome Bonaparte and Valves boarded the train to Paris, Minister Dico and Toulon Mayor Jacob arrived at Jerome Bonaparte's residence.
Led into the living room by the servants inside the residence, Dico and Jacob discovered that the living room was completely empty.
Looking at the empty living room, Jacob nervously said to the minister beside him, "Sir Dico, have we come too early? His Majesty and Minister Valves seem not to have gotten up yet!"
"That shouldn't be the case!" Minister Dico furrowed his brows and mumbled softly, then turned to Jacob and replied, "Let's just wait a while in the living room then!"
"Is this really okay?" Jacob still felt a bit uneasy.
"What are you afraid of!" Minister Dico patted Jacob on the shoulder to reassure him, "His Majesty has decided not to pursue the matter of the Maritime Transport Commission!"
"I..." Even though Minister Dico said so, Jacob still swallowed hard.
