Chapter 358 The Siege of Ajaccio (Part 1)(2/2)
"Please...please calm down, Miss Vicki. It is better not to have internal conflicts at this time. Miss Anna, Speaker Rousseau is in the House of Representatives persuading the members to abandon the illegal vote just now, but it seems to have no effect.

Before Carlo Bonaparte finished speaking, Anna firmly shook her head and rejected:
"Unless it is the will of Mr. Bonaparte, I will not make any concessions to these congressmen, but one thing you said is very right. At this critical juncture, we cannot afford internal turmoil, so..."
