บท 229: Prologue: Ominous Beep

January 1, 1928. Britannia Empire.

Outside Buckingham Palace was a place surrounded by a white fog and snowflakes that drifted and swayed gently in the wind and onto the ground. The palace grounds are quiet, as it is only around morning when the servants of the palace were busy doing their daily chores.

Her Imperial Highness, Diana Rosemary Edinburgh was in her bed chambers where she was sipping her hot sweet tea as she enjoyed watching the television on the far wall. She wore a serious expression as the video shown on the television was something terrifying that even she trembled slightly.

It was video footage of the Ruthenian soldiers garrisoned at Manchuria, specifically at their military base. There, she saw peculiar machines and contraptions that she had never seen before. Of course, she had heard about it from her ministers but Diana is the type of girl who believes in the idea of "to see is to believe."
