Napoleon observed the departure of the Ottoman Minister from the Blue Salon, noting the ensuing silence that filled the room. The staff members, who were present, directed their attention toward him, awaiting his response.
Armand, unable to mask his frustration, remarked, "I can't believe the Ottoman minister acted that way. It's audacious, considering their empire is on the decline. His impolite demeanor was unexpected. He made a fool out of you, Your Imperial Majesty. Why don't we teach him a lesson and remind him of his place?"
