The Angel of the British Empire

One week ago, in the city of Sinop of the Ottoman Empire. The wounded soldiers who fought in the battle of Alma were being tended by the nurses and doctors in the hospital. The one who was managing the hospital is none other than the daughter of the Prime Minister of the British Empire, Penelope Ascart.

Despite heavy opposition from her father, she still managed to convince him, saying that she'll only stay in the backline tending the soldiers. 

She is currently in the surgery room, extracting bullets from one of the soldiers that got hit in his belly. 

She stood over the wounded soldier, her hands steady and precise as she prepared for the delicate surgery ahead. She had spent years training as a surgeon, and now, as she looked down at the man lying on the table before her, she felt a sense of calm settle over her.

"Alright, let's get started," she said, her voice firm and professional as she signaled for her assistants to begin prepping the patient.
