Meanwhile, as Napoleon II was filling up his candidates for his ministries, Empress Elisabeth was on her way to meet her court ladies.
"I have prepared them for you," Marie Louise said with a tone of excitement as she led her to a room.
Elisabeth was feeling a bit excited to meet her court ladies as those people would be the one taking care of her needs in the Palace of Versailles and other state functions.
The door was opened by the Imperial Guards standing on either side of the door and they both entered.
Inside, Elisabeth saw eight women dressed in a formal clothing, curtsying reverently in front of them.
"There are your court ladies," Marie Louise began. "The Chief Court Mistress, Countess Éléonore de Montreval," Marie Louise continued. "She will oversee your household."
The woman at the front stepped forward and curtsied again, deeper than the others. She was composed, posture straight, hands folded neatly at her waist.
