Both "Alice" and "Erin" will be referring to one person. Using the Alice name emphasizes the fact that he's pretending.



Once upon a time a chaotic Wonderland was being enslaved by the Red Queen, until came a lost child named Alice. With the help of the three most powerful Magicians in the Academy: Ace, Knight and Spade, the Red Queen and her dragon was defeated and the blue skies came back to a peaceful Wonderland.

Alice was crowned the Queen of Wonderland. But she couldn't stay for long; she has to leave and will return once she grows up. So, she had to choose between the two young Magicians she fought alongside with: Ace and Spade, to rule Wonderland as "King of Hearts" while she was gone. Both Ace and Spade held powerful magic, and whoever Alice chooses will be King of Wonderland alongside her when she returns.

"Who do you choose to be your King, Alice?"

"I have chosen..."

The Academy of Wonders sits inside the white Palace's grounds, housing thousands of Magicians and their non-magical assistants. That is, before Spade destroyed part of Wonderland and hunted down almost all of the Magicians until there was barely anybody left.

"Where is Alice? Knight, you have to let us meet her."

"Ace cannot keep her to himself, they're not married yet!"

"Well, they are bethrothed after, all."

"They should get to know each other first since they've only met as kids. Adults these days..."

"Shut up Cheshire, you haven't even reached puberty yet."

"I'll reset yours when I pull out your uterus, Caterpillar."

"Try it, you fág! The closest you got to a pùssy is when your mother gave birth to you! And she even had her stomach cut open, so that's a long way to go!"

CRASH!

It was chaos in the garden banquet where the three surviving Magicians of the Academy argue amongst each other as usual. Under the red sky, the table is a mess with hundreds of pastries on top of broken plates and knives bloody from accidents. At the head of the table was the Knight, who dodged a flying teacup courtesy of a giggling Lady Caterpillar.

"Don't break another teacup, Lady Cat!" Marco scolds the woman who has her boots on the table, before taking off his top hat and pulling out an identical teacup. "This is the 47th one I had to replace!"

"Shh, they're here!"

Alice and Ace took a cautious seat as the Magicians stared at their hands held together. Erin himself was nervous, but he decides he shouldn't talk as much. I'll just leave Ace to do all the talking, like I'm some 1800's housewife or something. Don't hate me, feminists.

On the other hand, Ace couldn't stop looking at the lady he's leading with a soft look and invisible smile on his lips. Knight smiled slightly, knowing that Ace is absolutely smitten at the image of Alice. The guy missed her and waited almost a decade. Too bad he's holding a decoy right now.

At the end of a table was a masked young boy, short with black hair and his mask was a creepily smiling face with no eyes. The way he moves leaves smoke in his trail, and he leans into the table in the presence of;

"Wow, she's actually here..."

"Finally..."

"Alice!" Cheshire tilts his head. "Finally... you've come to save us! Your Ace can't really do shít against his old friend Spade. He needs a woman to do his job."
