Hmm….I'm not sure where this came from, really…it just sort of happened :)

I think I may continue it...alright, let me add that to my list of in progress story things... :P

Enjoy :D

Edit: Thank you, Niphuria, for the suggestion :) I'm just fixing one little thing...

Dearest Tarrant Hightopp,

I am sorry to have to inform you of my departure on such short notice. Queen Iracebeth has forced me into exile at the Castle of Marmoreal. I had hoped to be able to tell you in person, but I am to leave this evening. Only the Ladies of the Court are to come with me, no one else. I am sure that this will all be over soon and I will be able to see you again. I was beginning to think that, maybe, we could- never mind. It's not fer usal, as you would probably say.

I'm thinking about you, and how you feel about this mess. I wonder if you'll miss me. Iracebeth doesn't, and neither does anyone as of today. I'll miss you, for certain, and I can't wait until we can meet again. Until then, I would advise you to stay away from me, as Iracebeth would easily have your head ordered off.

Sincerely yours,

Mirana of Crims. No, Mirana of Marmoreal

As I signed off on the letter, I wished that I'd written more. He deserved a bit of a better explanation, didn't he not?

Oh dear, I'm picking up on the Tweedles' speech.

At the thought of the Tweedles, my eyes welled up with tears once again. I would miss all of my friends- I'd be completely alone in exile until our Champion, Alice, came to the rescue.

With those pessimistic thoughts in mind, I shoved the letter into and envelope, sealed it, and passed it on to the postman that had patiently waited for me to finish. I sighed deeply and began packing my belongings. Marmoreal was mostly white, nothing like the blue castle we had here at Crims. So I stripped myself of my pretty blue dress and donned a white one instead. I shut my closet full of colorful clothes for the last time. As we pulled up to Marmoreal in the carriage not 30 minutes later, I made a decision.

White is such a boring color.
