In the epic poem Iliad, Dione once said this to the laughing Aphrodite:

Take courage, my child, and bear the pain, we gods who live in Olympus have suffered a lot from mortals fighting each other.

Even Ares, the god of war, suffered. He was tied up with ropes by the sons of Aloys, Orthos and Ephiaetes, and he was imprisoned in a bronze urn for thirteen months.

Even the gods are tortured so painfully by aggressive mortals, let alone Georgiana?

She thought as she drank her whiskey, the noise of the tavern behind her.

In 978 AD, because the German emperor Otto snatched the Lorraine region belonging to France, the relationship between the two countries quickly turned bad, so in the early summer, Lothair decided to send 20,000 troops to Aachen.

At first, Lothair crossed the Meuse River, reached Aix, and broke into the palace of Aix, but the inside was already empty.

The Germans had just left with their families, and there was still a set meal on the table, the food inside was still hot, and the lonely soldiers scrambled to eat two bites.

Otto returned to Aix during this period, was surprised to find his mansion occupied, so in October he set foot on French soil with a party of thirty thousand cavalry.

Under such circumstances, Lothair fled and left Laon. He pinned his hopes on Lo Capet, hoping that the Earl of Barry could take on the responsibility of protecting him.

Capet had no time at all to muster an army for battle, and the Germans were approaching, and among them was a nephew of the Emperor who offered to Otto to open the gates into the city.

The emperor's nephew sent a "giant" Germanic soldier to provoke, while Capet selected a cavalryman named Yves to defend the honor of the Franks.

As the city gate slowly opened, Yves rode on a horse to confront the giant at the gate.

Yves won the battle, and the story of the giant Isore was born of this unforgettable contest between the Franks and the Germans.

The French love martial arts and worship heroes who fight against foreign invaders. In short, pure blood wizards definitely prefer Rabastan's work to "paperwork".

Georgiana was too drunk to think now.

Just when she raised her glass to drink some more, she found that the glass was actually empty, and she shouted to the bartender to fill it up again.

"You've had enough, ma'am." Before the bartender could speak, Figel said worriedly.

"I had a bad day." Georgiana subconsciously said, and then she thought about it, hey, who would meet a drunkard, so she yelled at the bartender, "Why should he accuse me of betrayal, obviously he was the first Betrayed me."

"You're drunk." The bartender was perfunctory as he poured the wine.

"He thought I didn't know, and he was thinking about other women all the time." Georgiana continued to condemn, "I'm so good to him, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As she spoke, she began to cry, "When I left with someone else, he said that I betrayed him. No matter how he treats me, must I be devoted to him?"

"Leave this kind of man alone." Another drinker booed.

Figel glared at the man and forcibly took Georgiana away.

They left the tavern where the sailors gathered, and the guards at the door were already waiting for her.

"I don't want to go to the party." She said to them willfully, and now she is not in the mood.

"Get in the car," Brenner said patiently.

Lifting the hem of her skirt, she got into the carriage with Figel's support, and then left the area where the sailors gathered.

She returned to the hotel smelling of alcohol, jumped onto the bed and cried while hugging the pillow. It seemed that Bonaparte was right, every time she was so sad it was because of him.

After crying for a while, she found that someone was pulling her hair, and she turned her head to find Leon coming.

"You men, you don't have any good things." She glared at him, "I said I forgave Josephine, why are you still with other women?"

"I'm here to comfort you, why are you blaming me too?"

She turned around, with her back to him.

"Who has bullied you?" asked Bonaparte.

She wouldn't say it was Sep Mortis Malfoy.

He lay down next to her and hugged her from behind.

"Smells like alcohol," he complained.

"You can let go." She said fiercely, "There must be a lot of deliciously painted ones waiting to be thrown into your arms."

"I'm not going well today." He sighed and said, "A group of people surrounded me talking about the benefits of lowering tariffs. It seems that here is really different from the mainland. Not every French person agrees with tariff protection."

"You can't get everyone's approval, that's why people who want to rule the world are crazy," she said pessimistically.

"Do you know what makes Josephine better than you? She is easy to be happy, how can I make you happy?" he asked.

"I feel like I'm having an absurd dream, how could you like me?" She said without looking back.

He laughed.

"What's so funny?" She glared back at him.

"You have to be so sad all the time, I'm worried that someone will try to rescue you from the clutches of the 'tyrant', and live a happy and free life from now on, just like Tarian did." He was a bit playful, but serious Say "How many people do you know who have a crush on you?"

"Who would like a British spy?" she asked rhetorically.

"I have to be careful of the people around me at all times. Are you here to drive us apart?"

"No!" she screamed.

"Tell me, what happened today?"

She endured and endured, and finally told him what Malfoy said.

In the end Bonaparte was not agitated at all, and was so calm that he did not seem to understand the accusations she had made.

"How do you..."

"I have experienced more than you, don't forget who I am." He said calmly, "If you follow me, you will be disgraced for the rest of your life."

She didn't get excited and say 'I don't care'.

"That time in St. Luke's, I told you, there's still time to go." He said softly.

"What now?"

He didn't speak.

"You understand? That feeling of having someone else in your heart." She asked. "Other men don't take it seriously."

"If you are talking about people who submit to me on the surface but still think about the former royal family in their hearts, I have seen a lot." He said calmly.

"You don't care?"

"Josephine thinks the same way. She wants me to accept the post of Field Marshal and welcome Louis XVIII back." He sneered. "She still maintains that kind of creole confusion sometimes."

"Is she still thinking about the past?" Georgiana asked.

He lay on his back on the bed, letting her lean on his shoulders.

"She thinks Ludrer is a dangerous enemy and wants me to send him and Joseph to negotiate in the United States." Bonaparte said, "But sometimes she is also very wise. In order to facilitate the marriage of Louis and Hortense, she even asked Ludrer Rael, why don't you know?"

"Today I met a guy who kept telling me to be neutral," she asked. "What's going on in America?"

"Did you know that in the election of 1800 Jefferson almost didn't become president?" said Bonaparte. "He used tricks in counting the votes."

"Election fraud?" Georgiana asked.

"You can understand that that was a big mistake made by the founding fathers of the United States," Bonaparte said. "It's not just what they say about their opponents in the newspapers."

"Any more questions?" She got up.

"The Vice-President," said Bonaparte. "The Constituent Convention gives each elector the right to two votes, but in order to curb regionalism they are forbidden to vote both for the candidate of their own state, if there is no Vice-President. , electors are likely to abstain from casting their second vote in order to best support their state's representative, but with the vice president in place, electors will hardly let their second vote go to waste if the president builds on What should the Vice President do now?"

"It's impossible to assassinate the president," Georgiana said, rolling her eyes.

"There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution to prevent a vice-presidential coup, or to exclude a president, and that's what happened in 1796, when John Adams was elected president with 71 votes, and 12 federal electors picked their favorite , but did not vote for Vice Presidential candidate Thomas Pinckney, who ended up with 59 votes, do you know who those 12 federal electors chose?"

"Jefferson," whispered Georgiana.

"In 1796, Jefferson surpassed Pinckney by 68 votes to become John Adams' Vice President, and in 1801 when the Senate counted votes, he became the Speaker. ticket."

"Election in 1800, counting in 1801?" asked Georgiana.

"The point is that Jefferson had the positions of Vice President and Senate President at that time. According to the schedule stipulated in the Constitution, the new Congress could not be convened in Washington until December 1801. That is to say, if Jefferson took office and went to Washington at that time, he would have to face A Federalist Congress elected in 1798, if the President of the Senate gave such a Congress the opportunity to adjudicate Georgia's votes, the Federalists would nullify the state's 4 electoral votes, forcing the House to conduct a vote that included them Five people from two candidates are finally elected. If that step is reached, Jefferson can only insist on the final decision, and this is also a power that Congress does not stipulate in the Constitution. They only have the power of "presence", which means that Jefferson can ask Congress Do nothing while he himself makes the final call on Georgia's four ballots."

Georgiana opened her mouth.

"In 1802, it was the turn of the general election for the Congress. Why do you think those 'little friends' chose to attack at this time." Bonaparte pinched Georgiana's nose. "Did you hear that? This is the sound of swords being drawn."
