Shifting Attention

Britannia Empire, London, Buckingham Royal Palace

Princess Diana strode all the way towards the office of her father, King of Britannia to discuss the matter of the rather concerning development in Ruthenia and their allies.

She makes it to the door and the door security let her in, her father hard at work managing the empire spread across the world.

"Father, sorry for my sudden visit, but there is something urgent that might threaten Britannia's national security and interest." 

Her father, King George V, puts away his cigarette into the ashtray before speaking to his daughter.

"May I ask what is so threatening that you have such a worried look plastered on your face?"  He spoke before he started coughing. The doctors found no signs of tuberculosis but the shortness of breath, brought on by his heavy smoking habit.
