The May Coup begins. The palace is quickly overtaken by the insurgents. Those loyal to the King are tracked down and killed. Despite mistakes, the plan seems to be working except for the fact that no one knows where the royals are hiding.
Due to a series of rash comments instigated by anger, the King makes an enemy of Russia. He is also informed from several sources of a military coup being planned against him but refuses to believe it is possible.
The King and Draga are finally wed and soon she announces her pregnancy. Meanwhile, her alcoholic brother, an army officer, begins causing trouble due to his unruly and violent behavior in public.
The King and Queen are dead and Peter I Karadjordjevic is coming to take over the throne. The insurgents institute a new government and a new Serbia is being formed. The Obrenovic dynasty is no more.
The King's father lies dying in Vienna but Alexander refuses to visit him. Dissatisfaction begins growing in the army and among the politicians due to Draga's increasing interference in state business.
