Princess Principal Crown Handler: Chapter 1

The story unfolds in London in the late 19th century, after an assassination attempt on the imperial princess. The Empire is stepping up counterespionage operations following the incident and turns to Control, the Commonwealth group in charge of covert operations against the Empire. Control suspects their spy inside the royal family is a double agent, so it assigns their spy team Dove a new mission: rescue the owner of a secondhand bookshop and hand him over to the Commonwealth. Ange, Dorothy and Chise successfully break him out of the imperial prison where he was being held. Meanwhile, Control also orders Dove to contact Bishop, their spy inside the royal family, to test his loyalty.
