Characters Present:
Tsar AlexanderAdjutant-General Baláshev,
Murat, who has recently been crowned the King of Naples by Napoleon
Marshal Davoût
Location:
Rykónty, then a mile and a half beyond, and then onto the next village.
At 2am, Alexander gives Baláshev his letter to be delivered to Napoleon.
Baláshev leaves immediately, and finds a French outpost in Rykónty. The men there say they will take him to Napoleon, and he is instead taken to Murat, who seems to be a stupid and smug kind of person.
Murat argues that Alexander is the agressor, not Napoleon, and after some time, eventually wishes Baláshev well in completing his mission.
Baláshev, hoping he will now be taken to Napoleon, as it is now close to lunchtime, is instead taken onto the next village, to meet Marshal Davoût.
