Jerome Bonaparte raised his glass and straightforwardly extended an olive branch to Conrobel, confident that Conrobel would accept it.
Faced with Jerome Bonaparte's sudden olive branch, Conrobel felt somewhat at a loss for a moment, but soon joy followed his brief panic.
Conrobel never expected that he would receive an olive branch from the emperor's nephew just a few days after arriving in Paris.

Jerome Bonaparte also drained the brandy in his glass.
