Three days later.
Mantua Fortress.
Napoleon glanced at Desai's personal seal on the letter, then looked at Desai's Order Officer: "Let me guess, there was a battle, right?"
He was quite familiar with this Order Officer, having seen him a few times during the battles in Trento.
The latter was evidently a bit nervous, but the "attendee" standing behind him was actually an agent from the Security Bureau, which made him only dare to speak honestly according to Lefevre's instructions:
"Yes, General. We were attacked by the Austrians, and many soldiers died. Later, we pursued them to the Klagenfurt Fortress and unexpectedly captured it."
Napoleon immediately smiled and opened the "letter sent by Desai."
It was the handwriting of Desai's Aide-de-camp. He didn't doubt it, as having an aide write on behalf was quite common when an officer was busy.
