As the nobility in the Hall of Mirrors finished their curtsies, the murmurs of admiration gradually faded, Queen Mary turned to Joseph, her expression filled with indulgence and pride:
"And my excellent son, your Crown Prince! As everyone knows, the plan to strike against the Barbary pirates in North Africa was first proposed by him, and he provided many key suggestions for its concrete implementation. In the end, we have welcomed this great victory!"
Yes, indeed, bringing up her husband first was just to save King's face; the one she really wanted to praise from the beginning was her darling son.
Remembering her son's various excellent performances, she couldn't help but smile—first, her son said that he would join forces with the United States to fight the pirates, thus saving France a substantial amount of money, and he also earned the gratitude of both America and Russia.
