Jerome Bonaparte, sitting by the fireplace, received a document from De Luyis with a solemn expression on his face. As Jerome Bonaparte perused its contents, De Luyis reported to him.
"Your Majesty, this is a telegram from our embassy in the Ottoman Empire!" De Luyis said to Jerome Bonaparte.
As Jerome Bonaparte flipped through the telegram, he murmured softly, "Interesting! The Persian envoy Farokh Khan Amin met with the American ambassador Carol Spencer in Constantinople!"
After saying this, Jerome Bonaparte looked up with a serious expression and asked De Luyis, "Can you tell me what exactly is going on with the Persian envoy? I recall they are at war with Britain! How do they have the leisure to engage with the United States of America?"
"It's like this!" De Luyis quickly explained to Jerome Bonaparte the events that had recently occurred.
