King's Landing in France

Chapter 293 The Hunter and the Prey

During the whole ball afterwards, Josephine waited for the opportunity to be close to Napoleon.

Of course, you still have to dance, because you keep turning around while dancing, it's not good to keep staring at Napoleon.But as soon as she emerged from the dance floor, Josephine immediately confirmed Napoleon's position.

Josephine discovered that the Corsican didn't seem to like dancing too much. He had been sitting on the sidelines, drinking champagne, chatting with Chief of Staff Berthier who also didn't like dancing.

Thanks to this blessing, staring at Napoleon is not too difficult.

Finally, Josephine got the opportunity she had been waiting for.

Napoleon got up suddenly and walked towards the terrace.

The main terrace of the Royal Palace, like the terraces of other palaces, can enjoy the night view of the garden, so everyone can go to the garden to breathe in the garden if they feel bored at the ball.

Houses in this era do not have ventilators, so many people are having fun in the hall, and every individual feels stuffy at times.

Napoleon was no exception.

Seeing Napoleon go to the terrace, Josephine immediately stood up and followed.

When we arrived at the terrace, several people were already ventilating outside. When they saw Napoleon coming out, they all came up to say hello.

Then a clever ghost saw Josephine following him, and immediately coughed, interrupting everyone.

Now everyone saw Josephine, and they logically understood that the two saw each other and came to the terrace to chat.

So everyone took their leave politely, leaving Napoleon alone.

Napoleon also saw Josephine, leaning against the balcony railing, waiting for Josephine to come.

"What do you want from me?" Before Josephine could speak, Napoleon spoke first.

Josephine: "Tomorrow I have a tea party at the Château Malmaison, so I wonder if M. Bonaparte can be invited?"

Napoleon looked Josephine up and down: "It's because I couldn't invite Andy, so I decided to invite me instead?"

Josephine: "You misunderstood, I was also very interested in Napoleon Bonaparte, the famous city defender who captured Emperor Shinra's younger brother."

An Ning did not hear this at the scene, otherwise she would definitely have laughed out loud.

Napoleon became a famous defender of the city. It's funny to mess up history.

Napoleon was very appreciative of Josephine's flattery, but he still humbled himself and said, "I just opened the city gate and charged at the right time, and I didn't actually do anything serious."

Napoleon in another time and space is very good at bragging - good at self-packaging, he will always exaggerate the merits of one point into ten points.

For example, in Austerlitz, according to Napoleon, a large number of enemies were bombarded by the heavy artillery of the French army when they escaped through the icy lake, and the ice surface collapsed, and countless people drowned directly.

However, according to the records and memories of other contemporaries, there were indeed people who ran onto the frozen lake and the ice broke, but the number was much smaller than what Napoleon said.

In short, Napoleon was very good at self-packaging, that's for sure.

But Napoleon in this time and space, not only did not self-package, but also humbled himself.

The flapping wings of An Ning, a butterfly, had already caused changes visible to the naked eye.

Josephine is very good at grasping other people's pain points to start a conversation. Now he always feels that this seems to be Napoleon's pain point, so he said: "You can tell us all about the battle in Sedan at the tea party. I want to participate in the tea party Ladies and gentlemen will love it very much.”

Napoleon curled his lips: "Well, that sounds good. So you invited Andy just to let him tell stories about the war?"

As soon as Josephine heard Napoleon's answer, she immediately realized that this was not Napoleon's pain point.

"We want to see the most powerful general of the Republic on the battlefield." Josephine slightly corrected Napoleon's statement.

Napoleon: "Okay, Yingzi. Why not, I can go and tell you the story, and have some tea and a snack along the way.

"However, I made it clear beforehand."

Napoleon suddenly put on a straight face and stared at Josephine: "Don't do anything that harms Andy's interests, if you do, I will blow you to pieces with grape bullets!"

Josephine smiled and said, "Then you can rest assured, I don't have any bad thoughts."

Napoleon: "Huh, you are like a spider, hiding in the web of human relationships, waiting for the prey to take the bait."

Josephine: "Spiders eat their prey and I get eaten. That's the difference."

In another time and space, when Napoleon first met Josephine, he was still a young man, and his heart was immediately captured by the big sister.

But this time and space is different. Napoleon in this time and space is familiar with La Salle, and La Salle took him to see the vastness of the world.

So he did not!none!sense!Sleep!
In fact, although Josephine's appearance is not bad, in the eyes of Napoleon, who has seen Italian beauties, "it's just that".

So Napoleon responded unceremoniously to Josephine's hint at this time: "Don't treat yourself as a delicacy, even if you are really a delicacy, I still have the right to choose not to eat it."

Josephine felt a little discouraged for a moment, and she couldn't help wondering whether the Royal Palace was a place that was against her, and why nothing went well after arriving at the Royal Palace.

She quickly adjusted her mentality, stepped forward and leaned on the railing next to Napoleon, looked at the garden under the night, and continued the topic by pretending to ask a casual question: "Your sister is wearing a military uniform. Did you send her to the military academy?"

Napoleon: "Isn't that nonsense? I sent her to the Brienne Military Academy."

"So you don't plan to let her marry in the future?"

Napoleon touched his nose in embarrassment: "No, it's actually an economic issue. In 1790, the Great Revolution had just happened. I was just a small second lieutenant, but I had to support my whole family with a meager salary. At that time, I thought I was sure I couldn't afford my sister's dowry, so I agreed to her request to enter the military academy.

"I'm not Andy, how could I have predicted the current situation, how could I have predicted that I would become the confidant of the commander-in-chief of the entire French army."

Josephine raised her eyebrows and asked casually, "Frost actually predicted the current situation?"

As soon as Napoleon said this, he became energetic, and all the previous precautions were left behind: "Of course, you don't know how amazing he is. In 1781, in Brienne, he predicted to me the occurrence of the Great Revolution! "

Josephine noticed with great joy that this was Napoleon's pain point!

So she put on a mixed expression of shock and curiosity: "What? Really?"

Napoleon was still ignorant, and was dragged away by the nose: "Of course! Let me tell you, he also predicted..."

Napoleon spoke happily, and Josephine listened with an expression full of curiosity.

Like a hunter quietly approaching his prey.
