"You really should go meet him once." Victor put down his wine glass, "After all, Your Excellency, the Prince also mentioned that this might be the last time you'll meet."
"But what about anything else?" Arthur half-jokingly asked, "Did he mention repaying the money? He still owes me seventy pounds from card games."
Victor replied with a laugh, "The debts between you two are beyond my jurisdiction; after all, to His Excellency, the Prince, I'm just an insignificant figure. However, my dear friend, for your sake, and mine, before you go see His Excellency, the Prince, please be honest with me, you don't have any connections with the Republican or Bonaparte Party, right?"
"You might as well suspect me of being linked to the Orthodox Party." Arthur shrugged his shoulders, "Mr. Victor, surely you wouldn't think that just because I have a decent relationship with Louis Bonaparte, I'd want to incite a Bonaparte Party uprising in France?"
