Jerome Bonaparte and Fitzroy James Henry Somerset (Baron Raglan's full name), the old and the young gazed at each other for a long time, neither speaking first, as if time and space had frozen in the hall of the Tuileries Palace.
From Baron Raglan's perspective, Jerome Bonaparte seemed to be a "reflection" of a bygone era, an era rife with conflicts and the clashing of swords and spears!
While from Jerome Bonaparte, Baron Raglan felt a youthful vigor and an unmistakable aura of ambition.
If Count Laglen were to name the person most likely to become a formidable enemy to the Kingdom of Britain in the future, it would certainly be the person in front of him, surrounded by generals and dignitaries like stars around the moon.
Young Albert might just be about to shoot himself in the foot!
Baron Raglan couldn't help but resent Albert internally. Clearly, he had heard from someone about the transactions between the royal family and Jerome Bonaparte.
