Prologue
Once upon a time, in Wonderland, the queen of the Kingdom of Spades gave birth to twin heirs. Unlike the births of other royals from the neighboring kingdom, there was something peculiar with the birth of the youngest twin, Alice. Unlike her twin brother James who bore only the Spades symbol on his left arm, where the symbol of one's kingdom usually appeared, her left arm had the symbols of Spades, Diamonds, Clubs, and Hearts imprinted on it. This was the first time a child from any kingdom in Wonderland was born with such mark. Although the mark didn't cause any harm to Alice, it meant that the girl didn't belong only to one kingdom, she belonged in all four. Fearing that the other kingdoms would see their daughter as a threat to their thrones, her parents decided to isolate Alice from everyone except her family, the Jack of Spades, and the servants who were deemed loyal enough to see the girl and speak not of her.
As the years passed, Alice grew up to be a lovely young woman, but despite her fair beauty and charming attitude, the princess remained a well-kept secret within the castle of Spades. This did not bid well with the girl, since she wanted to explore the world around her and leave the cage her home had become. She knew this was an unreachable dream as the years passed, and she was about to give up on this if it wasn't because a ray of light appeared in the form of an invitation. The rulers of the Kingdom of Clubs were to host the Winter Masquerade Ball and every person of royal blood in Wonderland was to attend. Of course, the princess had to convince her parents to allow her to go. At first, she was met with opposition, but she was able to make them give in to her wishes.
The night of the ball arrived and the Kingdom of Clubs welcomed every guest with open hands. Despite the fact that her parents said to remain quiet to avoid any problems, Alice of Spades could not contain her excitement since she was marveled by everything she saw on her trip and beyond. But the surprises were not over, for she would find her soul mate in Vladimir, the heir of the Kingdom of Clubs. It only took one night of dancing and talking for the young princes to find out that they did not want to lose each other with time and distance. The only way to stay in touch with each other after the ball was through letters that were to be only seen by the two lovers and Vladimir's servant. A year passed and Vladimir traveled to the Kingdom of Spades to ask for Alice's hand in marriage. Shocked with the sudden proposal, the king and queen were a bit wary because they did not want problems with the other kingdoms for what would be the introduction of a princess with an imprinted arm that never existed until now and the union between Spades and Clubs. But these concerns were never an obstacle for the young couple because they were finally given permission to marry after weeks of discussion, as long as Alice's mark was to remain a secret.
Alice and Vladimir were finally married and their rule over the Kingdom of Clubs began. The months after their union were filled with bliss for the couple and prosperity for all the kingdoms. However, happiness did not last for Alice's life was cut short. Her unfortunate yet mysterious death caused a lot of trouble for everyone. Vladimir, who was a happy man and just ruler, became a bitter tyrant who was seeking to find his Alice once again. And the eternal alliance between the kingdoms of Spades and Clubs was finally broken when James occupied the throne and declared war on Clubs, believing that Vladimir was responsible for his sister's death. Along with the war, the kingdoms of Hearts and Diamonds crumbled due to the lack of trade and revolts as a result of economic failure. Hearts was annexed by Clubs, while Diamonds was taken by Spades. Wonderland was under chaos without Alice.
But this is not the end of the story. In fact, it is merely the beginning…
