It seems that Jerome Bonaparte's irresponsible remarks in the restaurant deeply hurt Augusta's fragile psyche, leading Empress Augusta to maintain a cold war with Jerome Bonaparte in the following days.
Even though Jerome Bonaparte tried his best to ease the relationship, each time Empress Augusta brought up the question from the restaurant, Jerome Bonaparte responded with silence.
Through Jerome Bonaparte's attitude, Augusta also understood that her husband was determined to perish with the Empire.
So, on the day before their reconciliation, Augusta also made up her mind to tell Jerome Bonaparte.
If one day the Empire was truly doomed to collapse, then she would face death together with Jerome Bonaparte.
Naturally, this stance was met with Jerome Bonaparte's opposition, and he immediately discouraged Augusta, saying, "Augusta, when such a time comes, you must bear the heavy responsibility of educating Friedrich!
You cannot die, you must live well!"
