CHAPTER 1:
THE DEATH OF A KING
The Palace of Ottawa
February 3 1936
2:17 PM
Everyone stood silent in front of the bed.
Just 3 minutes ago, King George V finally succumbed to his Cerebral Hemorrhage that he has been suffering since the day he fled to Canada from the fires of the 1925 British Revolution. He pledged to return to the mainland one day and destroy the Red Menace forever. But his health was failing throughout the 1920s and the early 30s. His son, Prince Edward of Windsor, was due to replace him as the King of the British Empire (in exile) and the Dominion of Canada. He weeps silently as he hears the solemn final words of his father.
"God Save The Empire..."
He kept this in mind. He has already prepared for his first speech on radio due for the next day. He wrote his speech through a typewriter in his office for over 3 months before George's demise, as he expected his father's own death. He now believes that the people of Canada and the Entente now looks to him to lead and reclaim their birthright from the false leaders
The House of Lords also held a meeting, and a vote to approve Prince Edward as the heir. It went through without a single abstain. With a majority and approved by the House, Edward prepares for his kingship, and the duties he must face. He must know how to deal with the Syndicalists Internationale and Germany's Reichspakt. He must manage a barely functioning military that has suffered an embarrassing blow, and he must complete what George started.
The following morning, Edward stands triumphant on the balcony of the Palace of Ottawa and proudly delivers his inauguration speech, which electrified the crowd. His loud tenor voice, from Vancouver to St. John, from Toronto to Repulse Bay, everyone heard all Edward's obligations and tasks that he promises to full fill. He ended with his father's last words: God Save The Empire.
The next week, Edward VIII is officially been crowned as the King of the British Empire. Philipp Snowden of the Union of Britain simply laughed at the fact. The Kaiser refused to comment anything, as it was too early to denounce.
Can we ever go home again?
