"Scarlet is a good person, whom I hold to the highest respect, despite her general coldness towards me." Willow started veering off from the notes, taking her own stab at a speech, "I believe she would make a good queen, but she doesn't want to be one. I assure you, the citizens of Wonderland, that I will rebuild happiness in our community and make sure that the late queen's rampages will not be tolerated. I will personally visit every citizen that has been affected by Alice, and I promise that Wonderland will be safe once more. Thank you." Willow stepped down and walked calmly down to her room, face held high, like she was regaining something. Something like her sanity.

Chelsea followed her, attempting to look natural as possible. “That was really good!”

Willow blushed, "Thanks. I want to go back to the cottage tomorrow. I'm going to pick it up and place it in the Palace garden. I don't intend to live here."

Chelsea chuckled, “Okie dokie, you’re the queen.”

"I am." Willow smiled, swooshing her dress, "And I want to keep this dress."

“It’s pretty.” Chelsea said, suddenly a little self-conscious of her own dress. A casual black princess dress, thank gosh she got a new dress before getting her hot cocoa. Standing in a blood stained dress next to the queen would have been suspicous.

"Thank you." Willow bowed, giggling, "You look pretty as well."

“Aw thank you!” Chelsea said, feeling better and no longer self conscious. “So what now?”

"I say we raid the kitchen."

“We’re gonna raid the castle’s kitchen, which technically belongs to you?”

"Stop beating me with logic."

“That’s my job as your advisor.” Chelsea joked.

"Yeah." Willow smiled and headed towards the kitchen, "Maybe you should be my Lady-in-Waiting instead."

(Wait woah does everyone have a plot twist?)

I think..

“What’s a Lady-in-Waiting?”

"You bring me food and talk to me and like do stuff for me." Willow grinned, grabbing a piece of cake from the kitchen fridge, "It's a job for a close friend."

“Sure!” Chelsea said.

“Sure!” Chelsea said.

(ugh it's too long and I'm lazy)
Willow handed Chelsea a plate of cake, "Great."

(Lol. XD)
“Thanks.” Chelsea said, looking for forks.

(Aw bye)

Scarlet blushed as well, walking a little closer to him.

Cade kept praising himself mentally for holding her hand. Great first step. Good job. Hold on, did you check if your hands were sweaty? You can't have sweaty hands.

What If my hands are sweaty?! Scarlet though feverishly.

After a few more minutes, the castle loomed above them. "How do we get in?" He asked her, noting the guards standing by the front entrance. "Do we just…waltz right through the door?"

“I’ll identify myself to the guard, and he’ll let us in.”

"…Alright." He cautiously walked forward, his free hand curling in a fist behind his back just in case.

Scarlet let go of Cade’s hand as they approached the guard so she could take off her hood. Red curls spilled out from it, tumbling around her face. “Queen Scarlet, reporting to the castle.”

Queen…nah, Princess is better. The nickname stays. Cade grinned at himself. Shut up. Don't make yourself laugh. He put on a straight face, awaiting the guard's response.
