Princess Principal (プリンセス・プリンシパル)

It is the turn of the 20th century.

The Kingdom of Albion's new royal air force, commonly known as the Air Fleet,

has created a dramatic shift in the balance of global power.

With its monopoly on Cavorite, and the Air Fleet at its command,

the Kingdom of Albion became the greatest world power since the Roman Empire.

However,

revolution split the kingdom into East and West,

with the London Wall separating the Kingdom of Albion from the Commonwealth of Albion.

Ten years later, London became the front line of a secret war fought between the nations' spies.

Wh-who are you?

Just a passing extraterrestrial.

What?

I am from the Black Lizard Planet.

If you're going to joke, do it somewhere else!

I'm not joking.

I'm just lying.

There he is!

Is that... Cavorite?

Impossible... at that size...

Um...

Incoming. One vehicle!

Okay, we're out of here.

They were ready for us.

Who are you people?

We're under orders to keep you safe until you find asylum in the West.

Then... you're with the Commonwealth?

Hm? Didn't you tell him, Ange?

I did.

I told him we're from the Black Lizard Planet.

You mean we're spies!

Are you spies always doing this kind of thing?

Well, sometimes.

Refrigeration complete.

We'll use it when we get out of here.

Understood.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Now then...

We've shaken them off. Ready to go back?

Back?

Back where?

To the perfect place to hide you.

So I found an envelope in my bag.

An envelope?

Yup. I was so afraid my cover was blown, but then I saw the flower on it.

Flower?

New orders, right?

You workaholic! Try to enjoy being a student.

So? Who was it from?

Lord Rupert's second son.

It said to meet him behind the gymnasium after school.

A challenge to a duel?

It was a love letter!

Um.

Where are we?

At school.

A very formal and prestigious academy.

Members of the royal family go here.

Why did we come here?

"Why"?

Because we're students here.

Welcome back, everyone.

Oh, are you the defector?

Pleased to meet you. I am-

I know!

Everyone in the Kingdom knows...

You can't mean... you're a spy, too?

Princess?

Yes, I am a spy.

Our Principal Team has secured asylum seeker E.

They are currently hiding him at Queen's Mayfaire Academy.

What a waste.

The Princess should be used for more important things.

What about the Wall Team?

This is the shift schedule.

Tell both teams.

They'll cross the Wall next Thursday.

Good morning!

Is our school that fascinating?

Oh, sorry. I shouldn't let anyone see me, should I?

If you know that, then be careful.

An omelet?

It's the only thing I can make.

That's okay, I like them. Thank you.

Mm, delicious!

We're coordinating a date for your crossing.

You'll be staying here until it's decided.

Why...

Why would a girl like you be a spy?

When I was born, the word "spy" was written on my forehead.

Are all the lies because you're a spy, too?

The truth wouldn't be very interesting.

What's that?

A chamber pot.

What?!

That?

Oh.

Another lie?

Tell me if there's anything else you need.

I'll get you anything I can.

Even a person?

Can you get me a person?

He wants his little sister?

It's not like getting opera tickets.

You can't just say, "I'd like to add one more to the party."

Do you think he will threaten not to defect without her?

He already did.

That's that, then!

Defectors to the West, party of two!

You make it sound so easy.

What do we do, Ange?

What do you suppose they're talking about?

Their escorts for the soiree?

Oooh!

Drug Eric and carry him over the Wall alone.

Aww, but...

Good idea. We shouldn't take the risk.

Are you sure we couldn't let them defect together anyway?

I mean, it would be so sad to tear them apart.

Princess, I understand how you feel, but-

I'll gather intel. Princess, I understand how you feel, but-

I'll gather intel.

I'll find the sister and figure out whether she wants to defect.

And I'll get more info on Eric.

Come on, Ange... And I'll get more info on Eric.

Come on, Ange...

We still have four days until Thursday.

Oh, good!

Thank you, Ange!

So Eric's little sister is in the hospital up ahead?

Yes. And we had to shake off some pursuers last night, so there might be an ambush, too.

Brother?

Why didn't you come yesterday?

Hello. You must be Miss Amy.

Who are you?

I came to deliver some flowers from Eric Anderson.

Flowers?

Oh, yes!

See? They're very pretty!

Is he a relative of yours?

What do you really want?

I know you're lying!

Those aren't from my brother!

Cavorite poisoning?

Who are you?!

How dare you use my brother's name to trick me!

My brother is all I have left!

Get out of my sight! Get out!

Apparently Miss Amy was in a Cavorite accident.

And it's going to take rather a lot of money to pay for an operation.

Why don't you go on back without me?

What are you going to do?

Go back to the Black Lizard Planet?

I'm getting insurance. Just in case.

An insurance office?
