Upon reaching this point, Louis pulled out a newspaper from the bag he carried with him and slid it over: "Have you read today's newspaper?"
"Of course, but there's nothing interesting in it. If you're talking about the French government's public announcement of the Royalist leader, the Duchess of Berry's extramarital pregnancy, didn't I already tell you about it beforehand?"
Louis nodded and said, "We indeed knew this news in advance, but the entire public of France only learned about it today. Paris is in chaos now, the Royalists are all mentally collapsing, the republicans are busy mocking them, and the Bonaparte Party is watching from the sidelines, occasionally chiming in. Several well-known Royalist literati couldn't stand the ridicule and have publicly issued duel challenges to several republican literary leaders, intending to have a life-and-death duel with them."
