Chloe was raised from a young age as a secret agent for the kingdom of Hagl. Having been betrayed by her superior, she now renounces that life, fakes her death, and adopts a new identity in another country: Victoria Sellars. Soon she meets and starts taking care of an abandoned little girl named Nonna. She also becomes acquainted with Jeffrey Asher, a captain of knights. Victoria sets to work building a new life for herself and Nonna.

What a mysterious and intriguing introduction. Victoria is a charming protagonist, proving herself both cunning and capable, and compassionate to boot. I look forward to seeing her use her wits and skills to carve out a happy life for herself and Nonna. This premiere hints at several different directions the series could go. I’m sure there’s more of Victoria’s past to unpack, as well as potential romance with Jeffrey, cute kid slice of life with Nonna, and spy thriller action potentially involving Victoria’s former employer. Judging from the OP, we’re going to see all of those. I really think this one is a winner, and I eagerly await the next episode.
