"If I read it correctly, it should be Baron Bertula."

"Baron Bertula?" Laurence thought he had heard this name around the Duke of Choiseul, but he couldn't remember it for the moment.

Duke Choiseul nodded and added:

"He's an old British man and England's special envoy to France. I originally had a good relationship with him, but we had a bit of a quarrel with him because of what you did in Corsica."

Lawrence looked at the Duke of Richelieu with some surprise. Although there was nothing wrong with a Duke walking side by side with the English ambassador in the Palace of Versailles, at this sensitive moment, this scene still made Lawrence a little suspicious.

Duke Choiseul apparently thought so too. He stroked his beard thoughtfully and said in a deep voice:

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

"This is a bit intriguing. They should have gotten off the same carriage, which means they have been together earlier, um..."

"How is the personal relationship between Duke Richelieu and Baron Bertula?" Lawrence asked while quickly analyzing in his mind.

"Personal relationship? It is difficult for an Englishman and a Frenchman to have any personal relationship. If the Duke of Richelieu and I have anything in common, it is that we both hate the British."

Duke Choiseul spread his hands and said.

Lawrence agreed:

"This is also something that Corsicans and French people have in common. Having said that, it means that their relationship is probably related to political affairs?"

"Government affairs..."

Duke Choiseul pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said:

"Although the Duke of Richelieu was reinstated by the High Court four years ago, he has no power at all. He just wears the title of French Marshal. His status is basically reflected in his influence."

Lawrence and Duke Choiseul looked at each other, and both of them had noticed something was wrong.

If the Duke of Choiseul has a good relationship with the English ambassador, it is because the Duke of Choiseul manages France's foreign policy. Then the Duke of Richelieu walks with the English ambassador without having any personal relations or government affairs.

, that is indeed a bit suspicious.

The two then kept a distance from the Duke of Richelieu and followed them for a long time.

Fortunately, the Palace of Versailles was still busy and crowded today, so the two men were not noticed following them.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Lawrence and Duke Choiseul, Duke Richelieu and Baron Bertula walked into the Royal Opera House located in the east wing of the Palace of Versailles.

Upon seeing this, the two of them gave up and continued to follow. It was still easy to be noticed by them in the theater environment, and the Duke of Richelieu, like the Duke of Choiseul, also had his own separate box in the Royal Opera House.

"What do you think, Governor Bonaparte?"

Duke Choiseul and Lawrence stood in front of the Royal Opera House, leaning against the wall and talking quietly:

"In this case, the only thing that can bring the two of them together is some common interests."

"It's very possible." Lawrence nodded and affirmed:

"But maybe they really just happened to bump into each other in the Palace of Versailles. I think we still need to have direct contact with them before we can draw a conclusion."

"Direct contact? You mean with Baron Bertula?"

After hearing this, Duke Choiseul nodded repeatedly and said in agreement:

"Hey, that's just right. You will have to talk to him sooner or later about the execution of the officers on the Reasonable ship in Corsica, so why not take advantage of this opportunity."

After that, the Duke of Choiseul summoned a passing servant and directly ordered the servant to inform his subordinates in the Palace of Versailles and ordered his subordinates to wait at the entrance of the Royal Opera House until Baron Bertula came out.

"By the way, your Excellency, having an affair with an Englishman must be a serious crime in France."

After seeing Duke Choiseul finish his instructions, Lawrence suddenly asked.

"Of course, it can be considered as treason at the highest level."

Duke Choiseul realized something and frowned and asked:

"Are you sure that the Duke of Richelieu is having an affair with an Englishman?"

"No, I'm not sure."

Lawrence shrugged and said:

"I just hope that as a result, he really had an affair with the British."

Duke Choiseul chuckled and asked understandingly: "What about the process?"

Lawrence shook his head and replied:

"Who cares how it goes."
