Recap: With the help of a certain purple singing cat (Zexion), Nuxel finds her way into the garden maze of the Queen of Hearts. On her way to find said person, she meets some cards who are painting tulips to please the queen.
NOTE: everyone is normal size in this chapter. XD
Many more cards marched into the clearing. Once the cards were lined up a certain way, a trumpet sounded and in ran the White Rabbit. He panted, whipping out a paper and unrolling it, "Her… her imperial highness! Her grace, her excellency! Her royal majesty, Saxuminj, The Queen of Hearts!" He said, still trying to catch his breath. Everyone cheered as Saxuminj walked in with an extremely fancy black and red dress on. Nuxel mentally slapped herself. THAT was who she was forgetting! Saxuminj!
Nuxel knew from her missions that the queen had a king, so where was- "AHEM!" Marluxia walked over and kicked the White Rabbit slightly. The White Rabbit coughed, rolling his eyes, "And the king." Though Marluxia seemed important everyone ignored him. Nuxel even thought she heard a cricket chirping. Saxuminj's smile dropped into an upset frown, and she glared at a half painted tulip. She stormed over to it, "Hmmm…" She touched the wet paint and then turned around, an evil smile on her face, "Who's been painting my tulips red? WHO'S BEEN PAINTING MY TULIPS RED!" She ripped a bunch of the flowers from the garden, tossing them to the side. "Who dares to paint with vulgar paint, the royal flower bed? For painting my tulips red, someone will lose his head!" She yelled, clearly angry. The cards who had painted the tulips started blaming each other, until Saxuminj snapped, "OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" And the cards were dragged away.
Everyone cheered, and Saxuminj began smiling again. "They're going to lose their heads, they're going to lose their heads! For painting the tulips red! It serves them right they planted pink, the tulips should be red, OH! They're going to lose their heaaaaads-" "SILENCE!" Saxuminj screamed, shutting everyone up. Nuxel threw the paintbrush still in her possession out of sight, "Oh, please, they were only-" She was cut off by the queen, "And who is this?" She scoffed. Marluxia looked down at Nuxel, "It's not a card, I don't think...-" "Then start thinking and stop not thinking!" Saxuminj growled, digging her nails into Marluxia's arm. Though Marluxia didn't make a sound. "Why, it's a girl." Saxuminj shoved Marluxia away, all her attention on Nuxel. Nuxel stood up, nodding, "Y-yes,... and-" "Look up, speak nicely, AND DON'T TWIDDLE YOUR FINGERS!" Saxuminj ordered. Nuxel thought that this was like the normal Saxuminj, except she was just louder. And angrier. No… just louder.
"Turn out your toes, curtsey, open your mouth a little bit wider. And always answer 'Yes, your majesty!'" Saxuminj said, emphasizing 'yes your majesty'. Nuxel did as told, "YES, YOUR MAJESTY!" She repeated, curtseying. Saxuminj patted Nuxel on the head, "Now, where do you come from? And where are you going?" She asked calmly. "Well I'm trying to find my way home-" "YOU'RE WAY HOME!" The queen scoffed in disbelief. Everyone else who was around were whispering to each other, "What does she mean her way?" "It's only the queen's way!" "Her head will be rolling by night fall." The queen was once again angry, "Always here it is MY WAY!" She shouted. Nuxel nodded, "Yes, I know,-" "Curtsey while you're thinking. It saves time." Saxuminj interrupted. "Yes your majesty, but I was only going to ask-" "I'LL ASK THE QUESTIONS!" Saxuminj interrupted once again.
"Do you play croquet?" Saxuminj asked, strangely happy again. Nuxel was annoyed and thought that Saxuminj had to have been crazy. Then again… everyone here had been crazy. But Nuxel did not play croquet. She wondered if Saxuminj ever played croquet herself! Then Nuxel thought. All you had to do was hit a ball through some hoops. It was easy. "Yes your majesty." Nuxel lied. "Then let the game begin!" Saxuminj shouted, hurrying herself and Nuxel over to where the cards set themselves up as hoops.
i have nothing to say for this one. O_O
