The grandiose hall of the Palais Bourbon House of Representatives was bustling with noise, with semicircle seats arranged around the speaker's platform. A five-foot-wide aisle ran from the speaker's podium, dividing the seats distinctly into left and right sections.
The left side was occupied by the left-wing, and the right side by the right-wing.
Leading the right-wing parties, Grevy and Arman sat in the front row on the right side, listening to the uproar from both wings as they exchanged whispers.
After a while, Grevy glanced at the aggressive left side, then turned his gaze to Arman:
"It's time to give them a heavy blow!"
Arman nodded, straightened his bow tie, and confidently walked up to the podium, leaning on his cane and striding with a proud posture.
