While Achille Fuld was receiving the cheers of the members of parliament for the Empire and the Emperor inside the Bourbon Palace, just a few kilometers away at the Tuileries Palace, the French Empire's Emperor Jerome Bonaparte was sitting in his office, waiting for the arrival of Empress Augusta.
When Empress Augusta pushed open the door and entered the office, Jerome Bonaparte got straight to the point and said to Empress Augusta, "Augusta, we may have to endure a year of hardship this year!"
"Your Majesty, what on earth has happened?" Augusta, who had just entered and hadn't grasped the situation, looked at Jerome Bonaparte with eyes full of confusion after hearing his statement.
However, Augusta, having been by Jerome Bonaparte's side for nearly 10 years, understood his meaning within seconds.
