Six hours later, in the capital city of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
King George III was on the balcony of the Windsor Palace, staring vacantly at the streets below with a pale face. He had received news that the British English Channel Fleet was under attack by the Franco-Spanish Fleet attempting to cross the Channel and pave the way for the invasion.
Now, he was waiting for an update from his Prime Minister about the development of the situation.
"Your Majesty," spoke the manservant behind him. "Prime Minister Pitt has arrived in the palace. Should I get him to you?"
"Yes," King George said and the manservant nodded, quickly disappearing back into the palace. King George III continued to stand on the balcony, his fingers clutching the railing tightly.
