The Sun Never Sets In Spain

Chapter 9: Meeting Napoleon III

Alfonso and the others walked and ate lunch in the middle, and they barely arrived at the Elysee Palace at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

After identifying himself, the waiter led Alfonso to wait in a waiting room. Unsurprisingly, all three of François were left outside.

Alfonso took a sip of tea bored, he has been waiting here for an hour.

"His Royal Highness Alfonso, the emperor calls you in." A female secretary squatted down and said softly.

He followed the secretary through several corridors before reaching the office. The first thing that caught his eye was the thick file.

Thinking of the French ministers I saw on the road, Napoleon's emperor's career seemed not as happy as Isabella.

Napoleon III was over 60, but he was still very energetic. At this time, he saw them pushing the door in, and stood up, and took the initiative to shake hands with him.

Napoleon is the elected emperor, and Alfonso is the hereditary crown prince. Napoleon's identity is slightly higher.

But the surname of Bourbon is obviously much more noble than Bonaparte, so Napoleon did not put on any airs.

"Your Majesty, I've been admiring it for a long time."

"His Royal Highness, I should say that." Napoleon smiled. He was very curious about Alfonso.

Not only because the opponent's face value is so high, but also because he heard that the opponent was ambushed halfway, and actually killed seven people.

Today, Alfonso wore a silk vest and shirt, and wrapped himself up tightly. With a height of 1.5 meters, he couldn't see the combat effectiveness of one enemy ten.

He invited Alfonso to sit down before continuing: "How are you? How about your Majesty Isabella, but you are all right? I heard that you were assassinated on the road."

Talking about this, Alfonso still had lingering fears. "Yes, a group of hired Basques attacked us. We are blessed by the Lord. Her Majesty is fine, and I have not suffered too much injury."

Facing Napoleon’s curious gaze, he knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he simply admitted:

"I have received military training since I was a child, and I have mastered pretty good swordsmanship. With a little luck, I killed 7 thugs in the battle in the forest."

Hearing that Alfonso himself confessed this incident, Napoleon was even more unbelievable.

Although after several confirmations, he still thinks that this is a false statement, after all, it is too bizarre.

But the person who said it was true, he had to believe it if he didn't believe it, and the Spanish prince didn't need to rely on this to elevate himself.

If he changed his identity, he would ask the other party to perform for himself on the spot, but unfortunately not, it made him feel like a cat scratching his heart.

Then Napoleon and Alfonso discussed more details of the forest encounter, such as "how did you find each other", "how did you kill the cavalry with one move"...

Alfonso was so troubled that he finally took the initiative to change the subject: "Your Majesty, first of all, I must thank you for accepting us.

After the rebels drove us away, I almost thought I was going to be homeless, but only now I discovered that France has always been our common motherland. "

Napoleon laughed: "Of course, France will always be Bourbon's home, and I wish France and Spain will always be friends."

"If I can return to Spain, then I promise, I will." Alfonso said seriously. In fact, what he thinks is that the other party will step down in two years and promise to do whatever he wants.

The emperor was noncommittal and said lightly: "Of course, I hope you can seize the throne that belongs to you."

When Alfonso heard this, he knew that the other party would not help himself with the restoration of the country.

But he didn't feel disappointed, and he really needed help for another thing.

"Your Majesty, when I came, I first visited the Triumphal Arch built by His Majesty Napoleon. It is really magnificent."

"Well, everything about uncle is so good." Napoleon knew there must be something to follow.

Sure enough, Alfonso continued: "I passed the Champs Elysées after visiting the Arc de Triomphe. She deserves the title of "the most beautiful street in the world".

It just so happens that I have been conceiving a brand new business plan, and I hope to open a store in the Champs Elysées. "

"Just rent a shop when you open a shop. Even if you rent a few, it's not a thing worth mentioning to the Bourbon family!" Napoleon wondered how such a trivial matter would have to be told to himself.

"I need a large site, which is very large, and I may need to lease or buy more shops."

"Well...Is that so?" Napoleon didn't ask Alfonso what to do with these shops, anyway, the source of the other party's funds was the family, and the family would definitely not agree to it.

He pondered for a while and said, "In this way, I would have to hold a dance party to pick you up.

I have also called the president of the Champs Elysées Guard and Promotion Association. You can talk to him then. "

"Your Majesty, thank you very much."

It is convenient to have the emperor's help. If Alfonso's family is allowed to talk and sublet each family, I don't know how much time it will take.

"Don't take it to heart, these are all trivial things. The ball starts at 7pm. Remember to attend on time. I will let the servant prepare the dress for you." The emperor really didn't take this kind of small business behavior into his heart.

Alfonso did not emphasize to Napoleon how lucrative this profit would be. He planned to wait until the official opening before transferring the profit to the emperor, otherwise he would appear too proactive and too cheap.
