Alice's Life in Wonderland

Chapter Twenty-Eight - The Royal Wedding

Florence stood at her balcony, fumbling the note in her hands.

She received it yesterday, at night.

A woman had come to see her.

A woman of evil asides.

A woman who knew witchcraft and all other magic.

A woman who was a witch.

The woman who cursed her mother.

The woman was terrified by all people of Wonderland, Oz, Fantasia and even further beyond.

And the craziest thing was that she made a deal with her.

She didn't want to make a deal with a witch, she was threatened to.

She remembered the witch saying,

"No one wants a madman as a king, Flo. No one likes a madman. Everyone would soon rise against you and your dear little Hatter and soon, fall into depression. Then, you'll have to kill your future husband."

"I will not!"

"Of course you will. Then that's how you will help me in getting rid of the last Hatter of all Wonderland History."

"Enough!"

Florence then remembered another thing she discovered last night.

She found it in Hatter's room.

It was a chest, an opened chest and inside were a bunch of letters. They weren't any letter, they were love letters.

She read one of them,

"Dearest Matthew, Thank you for the daisy seeds. You don't have to send me so much anyway. The house is already crowded with them. They make me think of you. You remembered how you gave them to me on the day of the Mid-summer Ball right? I miss you and I love you. Ever your darling, Alice."

Alice.

That girl who Hatter agreed to exchange his life with.

They have been contacting each in secret.

The blood in her head began to boil, it was not fair.

But then a thought hit her.

Hatter loved her.

Hatter loved Alice.

He wouldn't be happy without her.

And he wouldn't be happy with herself.

And so she herself wouldn't be happy.

"Your Majesty, the carriage's ready."

Florence turned, and saw Bunny at the doorway.

"I'm coming."

Meanwhile, Hatter stood on the platform in the Wonderland Church. He nervously twirled his hat in his hands and occasionally eyed at the crown which sat on a little velvet cushion. It was for him, a sign that made him King of Wonderland.

He sighed and the General of Hearts approached him.

"Hey."

"Hi, General."

"Still nervous?"

"Of course!"

Antony looked at Hatter's intense face.

"Do you even want to be here?"

"Of course, not! Do you think I wanted to be here? If all of that had never happened, I would be perfectly happy now."
