SPY X CLOVER

Mission 1: Become a Magic Knight! Part 1

Loid Forger aka Twilight, the kingdom of Westalis' greatest spy is now a retired father of two living out the rest of his days, peacefully in the Clover Kingdom. Well, he is a bit too young to retire, but he is no longer a spy for the agency known as WISE, though he still kept in touch in case there was any kind of emergency. But for the most part Twilight or Loid as he was now known was free to live out the rest of his days in peace with his family. His son, Gael had just turned 6 and his daughter Anya was now 15 years old and would soon receive her grimoire. Although Yor seemed to be more excited than Anya was. Loid's days turned from stressful to carefree in what seemed like the blink of an eye... until.

It was a summons from WISE, as Yor, Loid, Anya and Gael were on their way to the grimoire tower for the ceremony where Anya would receive her grimoire Loid noticed the summons on a tree as they passed by. Shocked and a bit frustrated, Loid quickly made up an excuse to leave.

"URK! I suddenly have a horrible stomach ache... I'm so sorry, Anya, I don't think I can accompany you to the ceremony..."

Anya turned around, a disappointment expression on her face that suddenly turned to a sad, but reassuring smile. A smile that tugged at Loid's heartstrings making it impossible for him to look Anya in the eyes.

"Oh no! It was the breakfast I made, wasn't it?! I can't believe after all these years I still can't make a decent breakfast. I'm a failure as a wife..." Yor said, staring at the ground and twiddling her thumbs as she sniffled.

"No, Yor I assure you it wasn't your breakfast and you are far from a failure! I'm truly sorry, I'll be back as soon as I can."

After apologizing a few more times Loid ran off to find one of the secret passages leading to HQ that had been untouched for years. He approached the handlers desk, she was sitting with her legs and arms crossed, wearing that same floppy hat she'd always wear.

"Agent Twilight, I apologize for summoning you out of the blue like this. Especially since you decided to retire, but I'm afraid this is an emergency." Sylvia said, standing from her chair and picking up a file from her desk and handing it to Loid. Loid's expression of disappointment quickly turned to concern as he skimmed through the file.

"Relations between Clover and Westalis are worsening and with radicals advocating for a war the ice might just break. Your target is the leader of the national unity party, Donovan Desmond. Peace between Westalis and Clover hangs in the balance and he is a threat to that peace."

"And you want me to make contact with this target and figure out exactly what's going on?"

"Precisely, but that's easier said than done. Desmond is an extremely cautious man and rarely goes outside. He only ever attends meetings and awards ceremonies held by the wizard king and even then it's still quite rare."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Your daughter, Anya, she just turned 15, yes?"

"Yes, but what does that have to do with.." Before Loid could finish his sentence, Sylvia cut him off.

"I'm sorry to ask this of you, but we'd like your daughter to become a magic knight and preferably make it into Desmond's squad, the Imperial Stellas." As the words left her mouth, Loid's face tensed up. "Twilight, I know what you're thinking but it'd be more practical to have Anya become a magic knight. You have a wife and son to take care of after all and I'm sure they'd get suspicious if you decided to become a magic knight out of the blue, especially at your age."

"I'm not getting Anya involved in this mission!" Loid snapped before catching his tongue and composing himself.

"Twilight, this is imperative to Operation Strix, peace hangs in the balance."
