Under Jerome Bonaparte's firm attitude, Alexander II had no choice but to change his previously laissez-faire stance and began to personally engage in negotiations with Jerome Bonaparte.
After hours of back-and-forth for their respective positions and interests, it gradually reached noon.
The hungry Jerome Bonaparte hurriedly raised his hand to suggest to Alexander II: "It's not something that can be agreed upon quickly, why don't we have lunch first and discuss later!"
Also feeling a bit hungry, Alexander II nodded slightly, "Alright!"
Thus, Jerome Bonaparte quickly ordered his subordinates to collect the documents placed on the table, and Alexander II also instructed Gorchakov and Nesselrode to put their files back into their briefcases.
The table, which was originally full of documents, was cleared in no time, and Jerome Bonaparte turned to the officer behind him to give the order to "begin the meal."
