Chapitre 187: Napoleon's Ambition

As if on cue, Beaumont entered Napoleon's office and announced,

"The Minister of Foreign Affairs!"

Napoleon nodded in acknowledgment and turned to Audrey, "It's time for me to attend to my duties with the Minister. Beaumont, please accompany Mademoiselle Audrey to her quarters."

Audrey got up from her seat, curtsied politely to Napoleon and the Minister, and replied.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. I look forward to starting my duties tomorrow."

Beaumont stepped forward with a friendly smile.

"Follow me, Mademoiselle Audrey. I'll show you to your quarters and help you settle in."

As Beaumont and Audrey stepped out of Napoleon's office, they came face to face with Talleyrand, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, waiting outside. Beaumont acknowledged him with a nod.

"The First Consul is ready to receive you, Your Excellency," Beaumont informed Talleyrand, who nodded in return.
