Napoleon II looked at Charles-Louis upon hearing those words.
"Are you sure that's happening?" he asked in a serious tone, so serious that everyone's attention was on him.
Elisabeth looked at him with concern, and most probably, she knew it was about his work as an Emperor.
"Uhm, gentlemen and ladies," Elisabeth stood. "I believe the Emperor has something to attend to. Why don't I show you all to the ballroom where we can enjoy the festivities of Christmas eve?"
Napoleon II looked at his wife and gave a short nod.
"Continue without me," he said.
Elisabeth returned the nod without hesitation. She had already taken control of the room the moment she stood.
"Please," she said, turning toward the guests with a composed expression. "This way."
