Upon hearing that Ambassador Kaoz and Ambassador Richard Metternich had arrived, Jerome Bonaparte paused slightly and immediately asked Bashirio about the external reaction to his assassination attempt.
Bashirio informed Jerome Bonaparte that all the newspapers in Paris were reporting the news of him and Augusta being attacked last night at the Paris Opera House; all patriotic citizens within Paris were condemning the assassins who attempted to kill him.
"No wonder they came so quickly!!" Jerome Bonaparte muttered to himself, then turned and asked, "Are Ambassador Kaoz and Ambassador Richard Metternich still at Tuileries Palace?"
"Both ambassadors are still at Tuileries Palace!" Bashirio replied to Jerome Bonaparte, "I have arranged separate rooms for the two ambassadors. Which one would you like to meet first?"
Jerome Bonaparte stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Let's talk to Ambassador Kaoz first!"
