Queen Victoria, thanks to one of her agents, Mister Kurb, discovers that in the brothel Kita is being photographed in compromising poses with important politicians.
Admiral Winterfield tells of the defeat suffered by the United States against the American rebels and how they were abandoned at sea.
Found by the Eriez tribe, they were treated and were able to return to Britain.
Kita is visited by her sensei, who has sensed the awakening of the demon tattooed on her body (he also has one).
Jennifer Winterfield rebels against her husband, the Reverend, who beats her regularly.
She disfigures his face with incandescent mercury and is locked up in an asylum for this.
Kita finds out and manages to make her escape.
Jennifer reveals that she lost a daughter at 17, while she was hidden in a monastery in Switzerland.
Jennifer and Kita, with the help of the little tramp Pickles, manage to steal the negatives of the compromising photos, but are discovered by Kurb, who turns out to be the head of Scotland Yard.
They manage to escape, but are pinned on a roof and engulfed in flames.
The dragon tattooed on Kita's back awakens and carries them to safety.
Admiral Winterfield has a heart attack and his son discovers, seeing him naked, that he was emasculated 40 years earlier and therefore cannot be his father (nor Jennifer's).
Queen Victoria discovers the plans of the Winterfield Lodge, namely to reconquer the United States and decides to help them.
In the present, Lionel Barrington discovers, after three more bombings, that the MI5 agent who contacted him is actually an agent of SHI.
Her daughter, in fact, fell victim to the mines built by the entrepreneur.
Excellent historical reconstruction, both in the characters and in the mean streets of London.
Homs designs are sensual and distinctive.
