The Paris House of Representatives, usually a cacophony of chaos, with the debating representatives resembling haggling vendors in a bustling marketplace, displaying a complete lack of decorum.
However, the moment Shire, in military uniform, appeared at the doorway, the entire assembly fell silent instantly. Everyone fixed their gaze on Shire as he steadily walked through the aisle towards the podium.
This was an unprecedented occurrence, even when Gallieni was being questioned, it wasn't this silent.
The expressions among the representatives varied; some were appreciative, some grateful, but most were envious and angry.
Grevy's expression was somewhat complex, sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, did he really hope that Shire wouldn't return from the battlefield?
Or, if that really happened one day, would he be happy about it? Probably not!
Shire stood firm at the podium and said with a humble but dignified tone, "Good day, gentlemen!"
