January 7, 1849, 10:50 AM.
The Prime Minister of the French Republic, Audion Barrot, led the newly assembled entire cabinet team to the Elysee Palace under the guidance of Secretary Percy, waiting in the conference hall for Jerome Bonaparte's arrival.
"Gentlemen, please wait a moment! Mr. President will be here soon!" Percy, who had stepped back to the conference hall door, bowed politely.
Having adapted to President Jerome Bonaparte's schedule after more than ten days, Audion Barrot naturally understood that the president should still be in his slumber at this hour. He smiled lightly and nodded.
Percy turned and left the conference hall, carefully closing the door.
After watching Percy leave, Audion Barrot extended his hand invitingly and said, "Colleagues, there's no need to be overly formal! I believe the President should be here shortly!"
