However, the virulent tension between the two classes still remains. Princess Charlotte, the idealistic and beloved princess of the kingdom, vows to change this. When she becomes the Queen, she will tear down the wall between the two nations and unite the people. However, she is also the target of various factions with the Commonwealth making her the subject of Operation Changeling, a plan to replace the princess with one of their spies, Ange, a spy prodigy who is both the same age as Charlotte and bears a striking physical resemblance to her. Operation Changeling takes a different turn after Ange meets with Charlotte and the princess convinces her that she will work with the Commonwealth on spy missions in exchange for their assistance in helping Charlotte become queen.
