"Will that person you're talking about really come?" Lucius asked.

"I don't know." Severus replied blankly.

At the moment they were under the tree he had marked, and there was no one around but the three of them, let alone an ambush.

In fact, there are not many animals in the forests of France. They are almost hunted down by humans. Even the singing of songbirds can hardly be heard in the forests.

"us……"

Just as Severus was about to leave, he heard the footsteps of two people.

Not long after, two people appeared from behind the bushes. One was William, and the other was dressed as a literati. He looked to be in his thirties, with good looks and not too tall.

"Are you Mr. Smith?" said the stranger, staring at the handsome Lucius Malfoy.

"No." Lucius pointed at Severus with his cane. "He's Mr. Smith."

The stranger turned his gaze to Severus.

"Nice to meet you, Smith." The man offered to reach out to Severus. "I'm Robert Stewart, and you can call me Robert."

"Or Viscount Castlele." William said aside, "He is a friend of the 'senator' and is now the Minister of Education. He is currently visiting school reform in France."

Severus didn't touch the friendly hand, and Lucius leaned over and whispered in his ear, "He was the head of the British delegation at the Congress of Vienna, and he was later replaced by Wellington."

Severus looked at the man again.

The Vienna Conference was the resolution on the shape of the European map after the Napoleonic Wars signed nine days before the end of Waterloo. If it loses, France will have to cut at least a large piece of land.

How they came to know the result of the battle nine days before the end of Waterloo, who knows? Maybe there is a fortune teller.

Viscount Castlele calmly withdrew his hand.

"Why are you here now?" William asked.

"I'm delayed." Severus said dryly. "Can he believe it?"

"I'm going back to London in two days, and I think it's most appropriate for me to carry the letter," Viscount Castlele said.

"He's with us." William looked at Severus. "You believe that what Bonaparte really wants is peace?"

Severus smiled. "You're way smarter than those invulnerable idiots we've encountered before, whose so-called peace is only to put a knife through our throats."

"That's interesting, who else did you lobby?" William sneered.

"You have to be prepared, he may attack at any time," Severus said, "especially when it's foggy."

"Fog?" Viscount Castlele asked.

"Have you ever seen a hot air balloon?" Severus asked.

"Of course, it's for scouting." William interjected.

"If the wind and weather are right, his secret forces will attack Buckingham Palace," Severus said. "What big moves has he made recently?"

"Two things... He ordered people to clean up the river in Bruges, and he also went to Belgium." Viscount Castlele said calmly.

"Bruges?" Severus asked.

"It's just across from London, almost across the strait." William thought for a while and said, "His cavalry director Nicolas Charles Oudinot is in charge of the command of the infantry division stationed in Bruges. Many people in the division have followed Napoleon to Egypt."

"Do you think this is possible?" Viscount Castlele asked in disbelief.

"I don't know, are you going to take a gamble?" Severus asked indifferently.

"Nelson already gambled last time." Viscount Castlele took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. "God, this is really crazy."

"The Italians also think that the French are from the sky." William said with a blank expression.

"Paratroopers, Airborne, where am I?" Haji said with a laugh. "World War II?"

Viscount Castlele and William looked at him inexplicably.

"Anyway, remember to organize air defense, and one more thing, I heard the French are planning to go to Peru to collect bird droppings?" Severus asked.

"They found guano mines in Peru," said Viscount Castlele.

"They also found saltpeter mines in Peru," Severus said. "I know you have been controlling the export of saltpeter."

"How do you know this news?" asked the Viscount.

"I heard it." Haji raised his hand, "There are two Russians talking, and I can speak Russian."

"The news you brought back is really frightening, Mr. Smith," said the Viscount, panting.

"You don't have to believe it," Severus said, "but if London falls, it's your fault."

"Don't rush away, don't you want to know what's going on with your wife?" William said just as Severus was about to leave.

Severus stopped turning.

"I've never seen someone like him, showing her around." William looked at Severus with pity. "She is indeed a beauty, Edgar, and people call her Cleopatra of England." La, or Helen of Troy, but we never asked her to do that, and I don't want peace that way."

"No one asked her to do that," Severus said flatly.

"Then why is she? Because of the parties and the gorgeous jewelry?" William asked angrily.

"We've been at war for fifteen years," said Castler wearily. "The people and the public opinion are calling for peace."

William was too angry to speak.

"Where are you going when this is all over?" Castlele asked. "Maybe we can help."

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it ourselves." Lucius said with a smile.

"Give us some space, gentlemen," Castler said.

William, Lucius, and Haggie all walked away, leaving Castler and Severus alone.

"She had a good life. I don't think Bonaparte treated her badly materially, but she lost her freedom," Castlele said.

"What's the meaning?"

"One day, I went to the Botanic Gardens in Paris. Magellan got a bird of paradise from the chief as a gift after leading the ship to complete the expedition. It is said that the bird is only found in paradise, so it is also called the bird of paradise, Bonaparte I had one in my greenhouse, and it was a remarkable one, Georgiana... Bonaparte called her that, and she said the bird was the Twelve-stringed Bird of Paradise (seleucides melanoleucus), a bird named François Marie Dodin’s French zoologist gave her care. It is said that when people encounter a locust plague, they only need to ask Jupiter for help, and he will send this kind of bird. No one knows where they come from and where they go. Go, people never see them except when they need help, and I don't think Bonaparte will let this bird of paradise fly out of that beautiful cage so easily." Castler said "she Just being there, I felt like I was in a dream."

Severus raised his wand, and he took a wisp of silvery-white substance from Castler's temple, and put it into the test tube.

"What did you do to me?" Castle asked.

Severus glanced at him, turned and left.

After he left with Haji and Lucius, William came over.

"What do you think?" William asked.

"Good man, bad luck." Castle said indifferently, "If you have a treasure, remember not to show it, especially if you don't have enough strength to protect her."

"Do you think Bonaparte can do it? I mean air strikes," William asked.

"He can't scare us." Castler turned and left after speaking, and the forest quickly restored harmony and tranquility.
