"Hugo? What's he doing here?"
Jerome Bonaparte, in the middle of preparing his next step, had a gloomy look on his face, feeling quite displeased.
"Your Majesty, I don't know either!" Percy said helplessly. "But from Mr. Victor Hugo's expression, it seems he has something urgent to discuss with you!"
"What a bother!" Jerome Bonaparte complained.
For this celebrated literary figure throughout Paris, he could neither scold nor beat him, and yet he had to deal with him.
"Should I tell Mr. Hugo, Your Majesty, that you are in the middle of an important meeting?" Percy offered a solution.
Jerome Bonaparte glanced at the rather large object on Lady Marchioness Aile's lap and subconsciously responded, "Hmm! It is indeed quite heavy!"
Realizing he'd misspoken, Jerome Bonaparte quickly added, "Never mind! Let Mr. Victor Hugo come upstairs!"
"Yes!" Percy replied and closed the door as he left.
