Madrid, Espana
The Empire was shocked today in Madrid as Queen Caroline, known locally in the nation of Espana as Queen Maria Carolina, was exiting the Madrid Royal Palace to her private car on a trip through the city to attend a parade celebrating King Shomar II's birthday when a person in the crowd rush forward and throw a bomb into the car, exploding on impact. Her Majesty was luckily not yet in the car, just a few yards away and survived with minimal scratches. The driver, James Deinstien and Lord Gallen Howard, 31st Duke of Dukinegram were both killed.
