On the day of Balas' arrival in Milan, Anning discovered that Napoleon was actually wearing a green hat.
Anning couldn't help but ask, "Napoleon, why are you wearing such a hat?"
Napoleon laughed, "Miss Melody chose it for me, how is it? I quite like it!"
Anning, "Miss Melody, the socialite from Milan?"
"Yes, she's the star of all the salons and balls!" Napoleon was not at all offended by Anning's description, but rather seemed to brag, "I wrote her a romance novel! Once I finish it, I will definitely show it to you!"
There it is, Napoleon's romance novel! In the original history, people suspected that the heroine of this book was Josephine, the owner of the Maraisson Castle; now it's feared that the role might change to the socialite from Milan.
Josephine was also a socialite, giving Napoleon more than one green hat. Perhaps Napoleon just liked to associate with that kind of flirtatious women.
