The banquet lasted nearly an hour before it finally ended. Leaving the banquet, Jerome Bonaparte was personally arranged by Victor Emmanuel II to stay at the Turin Royal Palace.
After Victor Emmanuel II personally escorted Jerome Bonaparte to his room, he asked Jerome Bonaparte with a serious expression how he intended to end this confrontation with dignity.
Jerome Bonaparte replied to Victor Emmanuel II with a calm demeanor, "Victor, you just need to be at ease and wait!
I will ensure both sides end the battle with dignity!"
Since Jerome Bonaparte was unwilling to say more, Victor Emmanuel II did not press further. He offered a last piece of advice, "Jerome, have a good rest!"
After Victor Emmanuel II left, Jerome Bonaparte paced alone in the room.
Although he had just confidently told Victor Emmanuel II to wait for good news, he understood that the key to ending the war was not Albrecht but Franz Joseph.
Without Franz Joseph's consent, ending the war would be a pipe dream.
