Anastasia POV:
I told Mamma, Alexei, Tatiana, and the children to pack clothes to take to the royal yacht the Imperium. We planned to visit relatives in England, King Edward VIII and his younger brother Prince George VI, our cousins. There are so many rumors that Edward what to marry a American Divorcee time two and that parliment whats him to abidicate within a year to prevent backlash to the British Empire.

We are preparing to board the Imperial yacht at the Port of Petersburg. The people is cheering to see us off and once we leave   Russia and the Commonwealth would be a National Vacation holiday where government services are closed. We have set sail out into the Baltic waters that are completly secure by the might of the Russian Navy all the way to the English Channel. We got to dock at the Port of London and we see King Edward, Prince George, their mother Dowager Queen Mary of Teck along with my sister Grand Duchess Maria with Noah and Calvin. I prepare to walk down as Directer Gleb Vaganov of the Imperial Guard a secret police force announce me and my family. "Presenting her Imperial Majesty Dowager Empress Alexandra of Hesse, Empress Anastasia Nikliovania Romanov, Emperor-Consort Dmitri, Prime Minister Alexei Nikilovich Romanov, Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikilovania Romanov, Tsarvich Alexander IV Anastavich Romanov, Grand Duke Peter IV Anastavich Romanov, and Grand Duchess Catherine III Anastavania Romanov of the Russian Commonwealth of Countries." We walked down the plank as Maria runs to hug Mamma and Tatiana.
I walk to Edward while the rest of my family talk and unload their personal belongings." King Edward, Thank you for the hospitality into your country"," Anything for family, your majesty.","Is it true that you are engaged with an American divorcee?", He bends his head down slightly and nods."So the holy bloodline of Queen Victoria is tainted", He looks down even more as I begin to laugh. "Oh relax Edward I'm just teasing you, because don't forget that it doesn't matter that royal bloodlines are tainted the age of absolute monarchies ended with my father and Kaiser Wilhelm II abdication of their respected thrones; England age of absolute rule never started because there was always a parliament", he breaths a sigh of relief and walk into the car as everyone begins loading in. "We will be staying at the Palace of Sussex right outside of London." I explained as the car arrived at Sussex. Aunt Xenia is regent of the Commonwealth until I return to Petersburg.
Joseph Stalin POV:
Me and Comrade Hitler is eating lunch discussing politics and about the Russian blockades on German ports in the Baltic Sea and Engilsh Channel and heavy activity of Russian ships in the region.
Our lunch was interrupted by the radio announcing something of importance,"Russian Imperial Yacht the Imperium just docked in London harbor with the Empress of the Commonwealth and her family along with Dowager Empress Alexandra and Grand Duchess Tatiana, seeing two thought to have been decreased members of the Romanovs is shocking to witness", I spit out my drinking choking as Hitler drops his cup. "Impossible how are they alive and if the former Tsarina is living she still have claims to the German throne due to her being cousins with the the former Kaiser Wilhem II in exile.".

Dowager Empress Alexandra POV:

I heard knocking on the front door and opened it. I dropped my tea cup in shock to see Wilhelm on the front step. I guided him to the sitting room and sat down and listened intently, "Alix, I know I'm must be in exile, but I must see you to make amends for what I have done during the Great War.", he is interupted by giggles."Nana!" yells Calvin, Alexander, Peter, and Catherine runs in to sit next to me holding toys that they got from the carnival earlier today and with Tatiana not far behind them. "Mother, who is that?","That's your Uncle Wilhelm my cousin, Tatiana","So you the famous Tatiana your mother wrote so much about to me when you was born", Tatiana blush and nods.
I hears someone knocking on the door , so Tatiana gets up to get it coming back saying it's the police."Wilhelm hide now", as get to the door and says "Hello Officers"," Your Majesty have you seen a war criminal Disposed Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany?"," No", "well if you do see him contact us","Alright, Thank You."."Wilhelm I'm getting you to the Imperium so it can take you back to the Netherlands"," We will come see you on the way back to Russia". I put a hood over him and walk him to the yacht and told the Captain to ignore any English ships hailing them to stop and to transport him to the Port of Amsterdam. I wave bye to Wilhelm as the yacht leaves the port as the police arrives and stares at the fleeing yacht. I sees the Chief of the London Police force walks up to me when I still have my hood up,"How Dare You let a known criminal escape and on the Russian royals yacht as well",I removed my hood and look at him as he bow and mumble a apology. I walks away signaling my driver Ilya to start the car and prepare to head back to Sussex.
