Inside Westminster Abbey, the crown ceremony of Her Royal Highness, Diana Rosemary Edinburgh, is going smoothly. One hour had already passed and nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Alexander was sitting at the front pew, an exclusive seat reserved only for the head of states of the great powers. The pew gave them a clear view of what was happening at the coronation. So far, the King of Britannia Empire is doing a long speech, which topics covering the history of the Britannia Empire and its…-

April the 5th, 1929. Britannia Empire London. On the grounds of Buckingham Palace, Alexander made his way to the Beast, escorted by an entourage of Imperial Guards with Rolan leading the way. He entered the Beast that will be escorted by five armored SUVs armed with miniguns on the roof. Inside the Beast, Alexander saw Sevastian who greeted him with a polite smile. "Your Majesty, it's time," Sevastian said. Alexander smiled back. "Yes, the time has come." After Alexander entered, Rolan followed.…

Rolan raised his arms up, preparing for a fight. He scanned the two beggars who attacked him out of the blue. Based on their engagements just now, he can tell that they are not your run-of-the-mill fighters. They are pros who are trained to fight, like Karim, the first Black Hand agent he had encountered five years ago in Finland. "Black Hand demands it, you say?" Rolan repeated the words of the Black Hand operatives. "Then that means you two are working for that infamous international…

The day before the crown ceremony. The Britannia Empire is shrouded with darkness by the night. Despite it, the capital city, London, still buzzed with life. Storefronts with their bright lighting, vehicles roaming the road, and the people walking on the pavement doing their nightly routines. One of the people walking on the pavement is Rolan. Clad in a black trench coat, a top hat, and round glasses. His current appearance was a perfect disguise where no people would quickly recognize his true…

"Uhm…Alexander…what is the sudden invitation?" Diana stammered as she tried to figure out what was going on. Why is Alexander being assertive? "This is a ball, after all, it would be a waste if we don't dance," Alexander said, his hand extending forward, inviting her to dance. He continued. "This would be a great honor for me to dance with the lady who would soon become the Queen of the Britannia Empire." "But…" Diana hesitantly reached out to his hand but as soon as she showed signs of…

"What is this sudden change in the atmosphere? Why are they glaring at me subtly," Alexander wondered inwardly as the head of state of the nine powers was gazing at him intently. They were all seated around the long table and the dishes that they'll eat later are being prepared by the manservants of the Britannia Empire. "Alexander, I wish to talk to you about the incident that occurred in the Han Dynasty," Kaiser Wilheim spoke. So it was that huh? Are they pissed about the Boxers killing their…

Alexander left his bedroom along with Roland and five Imperial Guards and arrived at the palace ballroom of Buckingham Palace. The hall was buzzing with life, joy, and activity. At the gate of the ballroom, many others are arriving, most probably noblemen and noblewomen who were invited to this exclusive ball. They all chattered happily and excitedly as they made their way inside. Some come in pairs, and some come in groups. Those who were alone quickly recognized others and joined them. Their excitement…

"How do you like the room, Alexander?" Diana asked as Alexander looked out of the window of his bedroom in Buckingham Palace. The interior design of his room is similar to his bedroom in the Winter Palace. As expected of the neoclassical and baroque-style architecture that prospered in this era. "It's good. It gives me the same vibe as the Winter Palace. I never felt that I had left Ruthenia. But sooner or later, I would notice it as I won't be able to see my wife and my cute little daughter," Alexander…

A grand parade was being held on the streets near Buckingham Palace. The event gathered thousands of spectators who sought to see the appearance of the future Queen of the Britannia Empire inside of her heavily-protected state vehicle. Behind the state, the car was followed by a foreign-made vehicle. The design was unlike anything they usually saw on the streets. It was not boxy or curvy, it was a combination of the two. It may lack the elegance of the Britannia state car but it is a more heavily defended…
