Princess Principal (プリンセス・プリンシパル)

Excuse us.

I am the General.

From now on, you will be taking orders from me.

Did something happen to L?

That's none of your concern.

You both did well on this last mission.

I would like you to move right on to your next assignment.

Assignment... Sir?

Her.

That's...

You will assassinate Princess.

What is going on here?

Why kill Princess now?

I believe that was always the purpose of Operation: Changeling?

But Princess is currently our ally.

There is no need to kill her.

She's a royal.

There's no telling when she might betray us.

We have yet to see any sign of such intent.

Can't we wait until we KNOW she's danger-

We don't like taking risks.

And we did not ask for your opinion!

I understand.

The mission: assassinate the princess.

It will be accomplished.

Are you sure about this?

About what?

Don't play dumb with me.

They want us to kill Princess.

We're spies.

We just follow orders.

Well, I don't want to kill her.

We may be spies.

But we're human beings first!

Can you ignore your feelings?

I am from the Black Lizard Planet.

I'm not human.

Liar.

Report.

Sir.

We have a roster of 42 men, all present.

Very good. Contact the Wall unit.

Tell them we've arrived in London.

To a world without barriers!

You go on ahead.

I've been running her too long. She needs maintenance.

Alright.

Dorothy.

Thank you.

Who's there?

You on the roof.

Ange le Carre, I'm a friend.

You won't need that gun.

Miss Zelda?

Is something the matter?

Ange's here.

Welcome back, Ange.

Do you always come in through the window?

I'm Zelda. Control sent me as Princess' bodyguard.

They didn't tell me.

Then ask them.

I start today.

I was just about to make some tea.

Have a cup with us?

Is something wrong?

No, it's nothing.

From now on, our team will be made up of eight agents, including Princess.

We're reorganizing the Operation: Changeling team.

I have been appointed its new commander.

Commander?

What about Dorothy?

When this place is finished, the Queen herself will come see it.

Wow.

Ain't that something.

There are agents here that they haven't told me about.

Which means they don't trust me, either.

Ange!

How do you do, Ange?

Out for a stroll?

Oh, no.

Actually, the housemother wanted to see me.

Excuse me.

Her guards include the Duke of Normandy's people and a Commonwealth spy.

Just one?

This is going to be troublesome, isn't it?

You are so kind, Princess.

Kind?

I finally figured it out.

You love all your people, and work to defend your nation.

Because that is your royal duty.

Winter has been especially cold this year.

Yes, it has.

The ice on the pond has already...

Be careful not to touch items you don't recognize.

Do you think it's a joke?

I'll look into it.

So it's too dangerous to risk contacting her.

What do you think you're doing?

You know agents aren't allowed to contact Control.

And yet here you are.

What do you want?

What happened to L?

There were changes at the top.

We're led by the military now.

That's all.

So there's been a shakeup.

This new operation... it's too heavy-handed. Like they WANT to be discovered.

How is this supposed to play out?

Stay loyal to the mission.

If you want to survive.

Chise.

What are you doing?

I've been assigned to a different school.

My Lord's orders.

Our time together was short, but I thank you for all you've done.

I see.

Is there something troubling you?

In my country, we believe that a debt of hospitality must be repaid.

No, I'm fine.

I see.

Take care.

How is Seven doing?

We execute the mission tomorrow.

The plan is to take her outside the school to dispose of her, but...

I'll do it.

Operation: Changeling was my idea.

I will kill Princess.

Alright.

Construction will be complete by this weekend.

In honor of the new royal temple's dedication, we will be holding a service to pray for our nation's victory.

We ask for your Majesty's honorable presence.

The lords and ambassadors in attendance would be honored to hear a few words from...

Excuse me.

This won't take long.

What?

I've received intel that part of the army began gathering in London last night.

Who is their leader?

We haven't identified one.

But we believe that most of them were born in overseas colonies.

Call back the Home Office forces stationed in Rouen.

And be discreet about it.

And Her Majesty?

I will decide whether or not to tell her.

Princess, you remember, don't you?

The day we first met.

I never told you where I was trying to go.

I had heard there was a dry well in a corner of the gardens.
