Setting Description
The story unfolds in the Magical Kingdom, a realm divided between the magically gifted and the powerless. Grand castles with sparkling spires tower over cobblestone streets, while the Downstream area houses the oppressed. Hidden beneath the kingdom’s glimmering surface lies a network of secret hideouts, high-tech labs, and covert transportation systems for the spy organization.
The Story
Clover adjusted her shimmering gown, stepping into the decennial amnesty ceremony. Around her, the Noma people shuffled nervously, awaiting the royal family's judgment.
"Oh, how pitiful those without magic," sneered a nobleman.
"I don’t give a damn!" Clover snapped, her voice sharp as ice. "You treat us like trash, then pretend to be benevolent!"
Chaos erupted. Magical and non-magical factions clashed. Using the confusion, Clover slipped into a hidden alcove and discarded her heavy gown. The princess vanished; the spy emerged.
"Nice work, Clover," Sam whispered over her comm.
"I’ll hold them off with the explosive gun. Rescue the others," Alex added.
With synchronized precision, the three rescued the Goma people from slavery, escaping to the organization’s spaceship. Their daring mission ensured the oppressed could live openly among magical citizens.
Back at the palace, Clover faced her father’s wrath. "Get in here! Do you realize what you’ve done?" the King demanded.
Despite the scolding, Clover’s love for her father remained unwavering. She returned to her princess duties, secretly preparing for the annual magic competition. Armed with high-tech gadgets, she concealed her lack of magic effortlessly: laser lipstick for combat, an anti-gravity ring, time-stopping watches, weather manipulators, and a fairy hair clip for flight.
Her reputation soared, yet comparisons with magical prodigy Sammy stung. "Unlike the princess, whose magic only causes trouble, H, they thank me for helping as a spy!" she muttered.
Clover’s covert investigations revealed the King’s hidden connection to the Purge Day and the organization’s true mission: protecting non-magical citizens. Betrayal struck when her gadgets were confiscated, leaving her vulnerable. Yet, hidden tools from previous missions gave her a fighting chance.
When the Juke captured Clover, threatening the kingdom, she signaled her teammates. Sam brought the king’s seal closer, allowing Clover to strike and regain control. As midnight struck, the NOA people attacked, toppling the tyrant.
The kingdom’s magical and non-magical citizens finally learned unity through courage and collaboration. Although the king’s seal was lost, the heroes continued to innovate and protect the realm.
Moral of the Story
True power comes not from magic, but from courage, intelligence, and compassion. The oppressed can change their destiny when guided by brave hearts.
