p style="text-align: left;"They had finally reached the castle and Olivia was astonished at the sight of it. "It's so big, I think it can fit at least 200 of my house." she said, dreamily. Mirana laughed at that comment while Iracebeth just smiled nervously. It did look a bigger than she remembered it to be. "I made some renovations when you left." Mirana said. "Why did you do that?" Iracebeth asked. "Once you left, I kind of invited everyone to live in the castle. Hatter, The March Hare, Mally, everyone. Even Alice has returned. She resides here too." "Once I left? I didn't leave. I was banished, remember? What was this? Some kind of party you decided to have once I was gone?" Iracebeth asked, anger and confusion mixing together. "No, it's nothing like that. I just thought they would all like to live here, that's all." Iracebeth thought for a bit and decided that it was fine. For now. /p
p style="text-align: left;"Mirana pushed open the heavy doors and the three of them walked into the castle. "Racie, you can show Olivia your room. It's right where it's always been. Meet me in the dining hall in 2 hours for dinner." Iracebeth led Olivia to her room. The door was black with a big red heart in the middle. Once inside, Olivia put her stuff down and sat down on the huge bed. Iracebeth went and joined her. "You have a nice room." Olivia said, amazed at the size. "Thanks." Iracebeth answered, absentminded. Olivia knew instantly what was troubling her. "Do you wanna talk about it now?" she asked slowly. "No...but i will tell you anyway." She then proceeded to tell Olivia about Stayne and being banished with him. She ended with why he died and how she had buried him in that dirt mound she was playing in. "And that's all that happened." she said, looking down. "Racie, I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that." Olivia said sympathetically, resting her head on Iracebeth's shoulder. "It's ok." Iracebeth responded, shutting her eyes. They sat there until it was time to meet Mirana for dinner. /p
p style="text-align: left;""Racie, it's been 2 hours. We should go to the dining hall now." Iracebeth sighed. "Ok, let's go." When they got to the dining hall, Mirana was outside the doors waiting for them. "Everyone is already in there. I told them I had a surprise for them..." Mirana opened the door slowly. Everyone's heads turned as the three of them walked in. Their eyes widened when they saw Iracebeth. They tried not to look too surprised, but Iracebeth had seen their faces before they tried looking more solemn. Within seconds, the attention went to Olivia. "Who is that?" Hatter asked. "This is Olivia. She is the newest addition here." Mirana answered, taking her seat./p
p style="text-align: left;"Iracebeth and Olivia sat next to each other. Everyone filled their plates and started to eat. /p
