When Jerome Bonaparte and Franz Joseph's carriage, led by Viereid, arrived near the capital of the Kingdom of Poland, Warsaw, the carriage suddenly stopped.
Sitting inside the carriage, Jerome Bonaparte opened his eyes upon sensing the vehicle had ceased moving, and he quickly pulled back the curtain.
The Polish cavalry riding alongside Jerome Bonaparte's carriage hastily spurred their horses to his side upon seeing him draw the curtain.
Through the carriage window, Jerome Bonaparte asked the cavalry in French, "What happened up ahead? Why have we stopped moving?"
The Polish cavalry immediately responded to Jerome Bonaparte, "Your Majesty, please wait a moment! I will go ahead to take a look!"
"Go quickly and return soon!" Jerome Bonaparte replied to the Polish cavalry, then pulled the curtain closed once more.
After a while, a knocking sounded outside the carriage, and Jerome Bonaparte thought it was the cavalry who had just left returning to report.
