Thiers was about to die, fallen by his own cunning and by the place he held in Jerome Bonaparte's mind.
In Thiers' mind, the coup of December 2 was just another event similar to 1830, and at most, Jerome Bonaparte would kick them out of the center of power like Louis Philippe did. As long as Thiers wasn't completely dead, he would have a chance to make a comeback.
Who would have thought Jerome Bonaparte would use such despicable means to eliminate him physically!
With the sound of a gunshot, the semblance of harmony between Valerovsky and Thiers was shattered, replaced by the cold and desperate countdown of life.
Thiers stared wide-eyed at Valerovsky in confusion and disbelief, as if he hadn't imagined he would face such a terrible fate. Valerovsky's cold gaze carried a hint of regret, while the muzzle of the revolver in his hand still emitted a wisp of white smoke from the gunpowder that hadn't completely burned.
