The banquet continued from seven o'clock to nine in the evening, and upon Jerome Bonaparte's suggestion, everyone moved to the second-floor lounge of Tuileries Palace to play poker.
Unknowingly, everyone battled from nine in the evening till midnight.
When the brass floor clock in the corner of the room solemnly chimed twelve times, Jerome Bonaparte put down the poker cards in his hand, yawned, and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's getting late, let's end today's entertainment and head home early to rest!"
Achille Fuld and Barroso swiftly stood up and bowed to Jerome Bonaparte.
Sitting on another sofa in the room, Mr. Beimini, upon seeing this, also paused his chess game with Empress Augusta and apologized to Augusta.
Empress Augusta smiled understandingly, "Mr. Beimini, I hope we have another opportunity to continue playing chess with you next time!"
"Your Majesty the Empress, I'm honored by your affection!" Mr. Beimini humbly replied to Empress Augusta.
