In the next week or so, Jero Bonaparte accompanied the Victoria couple, along with Franz Joseph and Elizabeth, to various attractions in Paris to "check-in" and take photos, visiting orphanages, charitable hospitals, and the "affordable public rental housing" under construction.
The sympathetic Queen Victoria and Elizabeth each donated to the orphanage and charitable hospital, and Jero Bonaparte reciprocated by ordering his dia to give overwhelming publicity to Elizabeth and Victoria’s actions.
Under the strong influence of the dia (mostly controlled by conservatism), the vast majority of Parisians believed that the Kingdom of Britain and the Austrian Empire are indispensable allies of the French Empire, and the previously underlying anti-British and anti-Austrian sentints were quietly resolved under the information blitz from Jero Bonaparte.
Only a few radical dia outlets continued to tirelessly repeat statents such as the Kingdom of Britain/Austrian Empire’s undying intent to destroy us.
In response to these non-mainstream opinions, Jero Bonaparte did not adopt an extermination approach but chose to let them be.
After all, the relationship between France and Britain could not be maintained smoothly forever.
As France’s comprehensive national strength increases, Britain is bound to shift from cooperation to confrontation, this confrontation might be overt or covert.
At that ti, these radical dia outlets will beco mainstream thought.
To prevent being singled out for their "bound collection," Jero Bonaparte also needed to appropriately relax freedom of speech.
When ti quietly moved to early July, Prince Albert proposed to Jero Bonaparte the return to the Kingdom of Britain.
"Jero, we are returning to London!" Prince Albert, accompanying his wife after shopping at the newly established Paris departnt store, approached Jero Bonaparte in the afternoon and said.
As soon as Prince Albert finished speaking, Jero Bonaparte’s face showed a touch of astonishnt and asked, "Is it that we’ve not treated you well?"
"No, no, no!" Prince Albert shook his head and sincerely replied, "Victoria and I are very grateful for your care during this ti! We couldn’t be more satisfied with this trip to Paris!"
Prince Albert was indeed very grateful for Jero Bonaparte’s company; the treatnt he received in Paris was even sothing he couldn’t enjoy in London.
"Then why are you leaving so soon?" Jero Bonaparte showed a look of reluctance on his face, as if he truly wished for the Victoria couple to stay longer in Paris.
Seeing Jero Bonaparte’s expression, Albert couldn’t help but feel a surge of warmth in his heart. He subconsciously regarded Jero Bonaparte as a friend he could foster a good relationship with. He jokingly responded to Jero Bonaparte, "Soon? We have already been in Paris for more than two weeks! If we don’t return, our children might just turn the house upside down!"
Thinking of his few mischievous children, Albert’s mouth curled into a loving yet slightly helpless smile.
Compared to the "indifference" of Victoria towards their children, it was evident that Prince Albert had devoted a lot of effort to his few "rascals."
He hoped that each of his children, regardless of gender, would be qualified for a fulfilled future.
However, their few "little troublemakers" always gave him no peace of mind.
Looking at Albert before him, Jero Bonaparte thought that the reason Prince Albert would et God so early in his forties was probably not only due to Queen Victoria’s unfulfilled desires but also related to those children of his.
In history, those children of Victoria were not easy to deal with.
"Ah! It’s not easy for you either!" Jero Bonaparte placed a hand on Albert’s shoulder and sighed.
"This is the responsibility a father and a husband should fulfill!" Prince Albert responded to Jero Bonaparte with a smile on his face.
From Albert’s tone, Jero Bonaparte sensed the responsibility of a man, and he couldn’t help but hold him in high regard!
"However, it won’t be long before you face the sa problem as I do!" Prince Albert continued to say to Jero Bonaparte, "Then you will find that the difficulty of educating children is not much different from ruling a country, it’s even much more challenging than ruling a country!
For a country, you can enforce the policies you deem right through asures. But you can’t change your children’s thoughts through force, demanding them to obey unconditionally, which will only cause rebellion in their minds!"
"Indeed!" Jero Bonaparte nodded, also sighing, "Every generation of parents hopes that their children will surpass them, yet excessive hope breeds an abnormal control desire, making children follow the path set for them. If they offer any resistance and you start to speak so so-called great truths..."
Jero Bonaparte relayed the wisdom summarized in future evaluations to Prince Albert. After listening, Prince Albert nodded in agreent, "How to educate children is indeed a big problem!"
"I only hope that my future children can be monarchs who can maintain their rule, that’s enough!" Jero Bonaparte sighed deeply, knowing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointnt.
As long as his children could hold onto the throne of France without losing it, it would already be considered as overcompleted.
Jero Bonaparte did not hope for his children to beco figures like the Sun King Louis XIV or his uncle Napoleon. He only wished that his children would not beco infamous individuals like Emperor Yang of Sui, Nicholas II, or Weiwei’s smile.
An accomplished leader can lead a country to a path of rapid developnt, while a foolish leader can topple a rising country within a few short years.
Of course, this also ant that Jero Bonaparte must eliminate all threats for his son.
If he couldn’t clear the obstacles for his son, then he could only pray that his son would have the template of the P Society God Monarch!
"It’s not easy for anyone!" Prince Albert once again sighed.
"By the way! Albert, next ti you visit, could you bring those children of yours along?" Jero Bonaparte asked Prince Albert.
"Sure! In fact, they’ve long wanted to co to Paris!" Prince Albert responded to Jero Bonaparte.
Subsequently, Jero Bonaparte "blad" Albert for not bringing his children this ti.
Albert once again promised Jero Bonaparte that next ti he would definitely bring them to see the bustling Paris. anwhile, Prince Albert also extended an invitation to Jero Bonaparte, hoping that Jero Bonaparte and Empress Augusta would one day visit London. Then, he and Victoria could personally host them!
"After Augusta gives birth, the two of us will head to London! I hope you won’t shut us out by then! Otherwise, we really wouldn’t know where to sleep!" Jero Bonaparte joked.
"Rest assured! Queen Victoria and I will warmly welco you! We certainly won’t leave you without a place to sleep!" Prince Albert assured Jero Bonaparte with a smile.
"It’s a deal!"
"It’s a deal!"
...
Jero Bonaparte, seeing Prince Albert off from the office, wore a relieved smile. After so many days, his continuous efforts to improve favorability with The Victoria couple finally concluded.
Although in so major matters, Prince Albert wouldn’t give in due to friendship, Jero Bonaparte believed that in so "minor issues," Albert’s friendship would still have so influence.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Jero Bonaparte had just sat down in his chair when he heard the knocking, forcing him to sit upright and call out in a deep voice: "Co in!"
The door slowly opened, revealing Franz Joseph at the entrance.
Jero Bonaparte imdiately shifted from seriousness to warmth, standing up to shake hands with Franz Joseph, then invited him to sit on the sofa, inquiring, "What’s happened?"
Franz Joseph hesitated for a mont before explaining his purpose to Jero Bonaparte; he had co to bid farewell!
"You’re leaving too?" Jero Bonaparte said in surprise to Franz Joseph.
"Who else?" Franz Joseph paused for a few seconds, then asked.
"Victoria and Albert! Just now, Albert bid farewell to !" Jero Bonaparte joked with a puzzled look at Franz Joseph: "You two aren’t conspiring to abandon and leave together, are you?"
"Of course not!"
Franz Joseph told Jero Bonaparte that he really didn’t know Prince Albert was leaving as well.
"Ah! Both of you are leaving! This court of mine will beco quiet again!" Jero Bonaparte sighed.
Franz Joseph could only offer comforting words to Jero Bonaparte and extended an invitation to visit the i Quan Palace.
"Don’t worry! I will certainly visit! However, it probably won’t be in the coming months!" Jero Bonaparte told Franz Joseph: "So here, I extend my early wishes for you and Princess Elizabeth to have a blissful marriage!"
Franz Joseph expressed gratitude for Jero Bonaparte’s blessing and, in return, bestowed blessings for the child Empress Augusta was carrying.
