At this moment, Minister Dico is not relentlessly supervising the construction of new ships as the Paris Navy Department imagined, but is instead residing in a castle on the outskirts of Toulon, enjoying long-awaited time alone with his wife.
Of course, this situation was not initiated by Minister Dico himself, but rather forced upon him.
Currently, Minister Dico is "confined" by his wife in the castle, enjoying a long-overdue "vacation."
Although Minister Dico is very reluctant to idle away, this vacation is not something he can decide on his own.
After all, he had infuriated his wife recently by staying up all night.
As a result, his wife invoked the authority bestowed upon her by the Emperor, forcing him to take a break.
Fortunately, his wife announced the Emperor's order privately rather than forcing him to take a break in front of everyone at the shipyard.
Otherwise, Minister Dico's reputation would be completely tarnished at the shipyard.
