Ten minutes later, Beaumont's voice rang out outside the door.
"Your Imperial Majesty, Armand is here."
"Send him in," Napoleon II said.
The door opened and Armand stepped inside, a document folder tucked under his arm.
He stopped a few paces from the desk and inclined his head. "Your Imperial Majesty."
Napoleon II set his pen down. "You have the names?"
"Yes," Armand replied. He placed the folder on the desk and slid it forward. The leather made a soft sound against the wood. "More than you asked for."
Napoleon II did not open it yet. "Before we begin, I should inform you of something. I revised the cabinet structure this morning."
Armand nodded once. "I expected that."
"I added several ministries," Napoleon II continued. "Energy. Transportation. Commerce. Public Health. Housing and Urban Development. Colonial Affairs. Defense has been consolidated."
Armand's expression did not change. "That won't be an issue."
Napoleon II looked at him. "You're certain?"
