Preparing to Meet the Russian Emperor

August 28th, 1821. At the Palace of Versailles.

"Your Imperial Majesty, His Imperial Majesty Tsar Paul I, has landed at the airport. His Imperial Majesty's entourage and His Imperial Majesty will be arriving at the Palace of Versailles in thirty minutes," Armand reported as he walked alongside Napoleon down the hallway.

"Umu…" Napoleon nodded, acknowledging the report. "What about the incident at the Ionian Sea? What was it again? A Russian Cruiser operating there and our battleship detecting them?"

"Oh, about that, according to the Imperial Navy, the Russians explicitly expressed their intentions to intervene in the Greek revolution against the Ottoman, on the Ottoman side."

Napoleon scoffed softly after hearing that. "They are seriously allying themselves with the Ottomans despite their centuries of conflict…Well, not anymore when the Tsar Paul I heard of my proposal. About the stateroom where we will discuss, is it ready?"
