Chapter 2451 Cecal Zone (5)

In preparation for this trip to Belgium, Josephine made a lot of preparations. First she bought a pearl necklace worth 250,000 francs, which once belonged to Marie Antoinette and was used as collateral during the Revolution.

Later it fell into the hands of the jeweler Fussier.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand francs?" Georgiana shouted in surprise.

"Don't you also have a Mughal diamond?" Charlotte said while chewing chocolate. "Guess how she got this money?"

Georgiana shook her head.

"She approached Berthier and asked him to find a way to raise the money."

"Bertier embezzled public funds?" Georgiana asked.

"He initially wanted to sell the wood on the wall of Brussels, but was stopped by the mayor, so he approached an Italian military medical contractor and demanded compensation on the grounds of poor service. This could make a lot of money."

Charlotte ate another chocolate "and the pearl went from the jeweler's safe to Josephine's jewelry box."

Georgiana frowned, thinking that she should write and ask Bonaparte where he got the money to buy the diamonds.

"Why don't you wear a crown?" Charlotte asked.

"I don't think it's a good idea to wear it," Georgiana replied.

"Josephine last wore a tiara at the ceremony in Lyon."

"She was scolded later."

"You must have something right, take it out and see!" Charlotte encouraged.

Georgiana suspected that she wanted to wear the jewelry, so she took the job.

"I really didn't~"

"Do you know how many people want to give you gifts? Do you know Brian?"

"You have so many questions."

"The last time I met the Swedish ambassador, he talked to me. In 1797, he went to Milan to meet with Napoleon. At that time, he was in a bad mood and roared at the ambassador. The ambassador said that he had never seen anything like this in his life.

"A man with a bad temper." Charlotte said, "Brion became the French ambassador to Sweden. The morning before he left, Napoleon was furious again because a letter to Talleyrand was late."

"What's going on?" Georgiana asked with concern.

"At first he thought it was a problem with Brian and the government messenger, so he rang the bell and summoned them all in, but he used too much force and broke the rope. He touched the corner of the fireplace hard with his hand.

Then he bleeds." Charlotte took a sip of water. "He didn't know who he was angry with. Talleyrand asked him to calm down. Then the messenger came. He was so frightened that he almost fainted and answered hesitantly. Now Napoleon

Even more angry than before, he slammed the door, leaving a bloody handprint on the door."

Georgiana thought it was quite scary, but then she remembered what Ginny had written in blood, and she wasn't so scared anymore.

"Brion was his classmate before, so he knocked on the door, and Napoleon shouted through the door, 'Get out of here, you idiot!'. Then Brion kicked the door open and shouted, 'You are better than me.

He was a hundred times more stupid,' and then he went upstairs to the office, packed his things, and that's how he resigned."

Georgiana thought it was time to laugh.

"He never got angry in front of you?" Charlotte asked.

"Of course," said Georgiana, still remembering the unappetizing lunch.

"Aren't you afraid of him?"

"Of course," said Georgiana, remembering the document she had signed to have the body cremated.

"You are so bold." Charlotte said with admiration.

"You call him Polly, are you still afraid of him?" Georgiana said with a smile.

"Maybe that's the case, so I won't be afraid." Charlotte said calmly, "Is it because you used magic to quiet him down?"

"No, I'm of no use."

Charlotte looked a little unconvinced.

Georgiana chose one from the chocolate pile and chewed it slowly. It was filled with coffee and had a light bitter taste.

Charlotte suddenly put her hand on her chin and raised her head.

"I understand." The female boxer said with a smile, "So that's it."

She didn't like this gesture and slapped Charlotte's hand away.

"Tell me how you usually get along."

Georgiana didn't want her private life to appear in the tabloids.

"He would spend an hour watching Josephine dress up." Charlotte said proudly, "But I heard that he didn't seem to have seen you dress up."

"We don't sleep in the same room," Georgiana muttered.

"You know what I mean," Charlotte said. "He especially likes to look at your neck."

"What?" Georgiana touched her neck with lingering fear.

"Don't worry, he didn't want to twist it off." Charlotte waved her hand and ate another chocolate. "Why don't you like wearing necklaces?"

Georgiana did not answer. She now wears necklaces much more often than before, mainly because when attending formal occasions, she must wear very luxurious necklaces. If Bonaparte had not taken off her black swan necklace, she might still wear it.

Yes. She clearly told him that if she took off the necklace, she would become old and ugly.

"Come on, take me to see your jewelry." Charlotte said, taking Georgiana's arm.

Women, they will not give up until they achieve their goals.

So Georgiana was dragged by Charlotte to find Mrs. Rashefouco. Originally, the custodian of her jewelry was Alice, but she is probably still playing somewhere now, as her own job was taken over by her mother.

This castle, which belonged to the former Prime Minister of the Principality of Brabantine, was not as big as Hogwarts, but the silence in the corridors gave her the feeling of taking a night walk in the castle.

Charlotte talked about her "experiences" as she walked.

Brian can speak and write in many languages. He is a very good secretary, but not a good diplomat. How can I put it, he seems to have entered retirement early. Being an ambassador in Sweden is basically a recuperation, as if he is repairing.

Physical and mental trauma.

After writing his resignation letter, Brion handed the letter to Duroc, who gave him a note telling him that the "Last Supper" would be held there, and that after eating the meal, Brion would leave Dui.

Leli Palace, find somewhere else to stay.

Josephine and Hortense were present at that meal. Napoleon looked cold and talked to others after the meal. Josephine and Hortense entertained him. They could provide Brian with a place in Malmaison.

residence.

"Your new residence needs to be like that. Have you found a suitable place?" Charlotte asked.

Georgiana shook her head.

"How about staying in the former palace? If the damage is not serious, we can restore it like the Tuileries Palace and live in it," Charlotte said.

"What do you want?" Georgiana asked in alarm.

Just as Charlotte was about to speak, the two of them heard the noise coming from behind the door.

Charlotte put her ear against the door, then took two steps back, lifted up her skirt, and kicked the door open. After the door was knocked open, she saw chaos in the room. The woman she rescued on the road yesterday was

Looking at them in surprise.

Her body was covered with jewelry, and there was a baggage in her hand. It looked like she wanted to pack something before leaving. When she saw the two of them, she skillfully dropped a necklace in her hand, and then pulled out a dagger.

"Get out of here, bitch!" she said, baring her teeth like a snarling dog.

Charlotte smiled provocatively, "Do you think the gadget in your hand can deal with me?"

The woman screamed and pointed the dagger at Charlotte's abdomen. The female boxer easily dodged it.

Georgiana did not call the guards.

She took out the wand from the bracelet and used "Restore", and all the things that had been messed up and destroyed were returned to their original places.

Seeing this scene, the two people who were planning to fight stopped and looked at her together.

"I knew these jewels would cause trouble." Georgiana said with her hands on her waist, "Tell me who you are, Miss Thief."
