Lizzie's POV

My plan was idiotic but I knew it would give Jefferson time to get to Harry and Ace and that's all I cared about and then Harry would be back in Auradon and he'd move on with someone else, I was ready to accept that we were never supposed to have a happily ever after together.

I walked the long dirt path surrounded by the pink trees straight towards the castle and it wasn't long before I was being stopped by the guards and held at lance-point as they began to escort me into the castle and into the throne room where my Aunt was sitting on the white throne...I could now see the resemblance between her and my mother.

"Hey Mirana, I'm back" I smirked at her, she no longer got to be called an Aunt.

"Are you ready to account for your crimes to Underland?" she asked and I raised my eyebrow at her.

"What crimes, do you actually have have any proof I've committed any such crime?" I argued stalling in order to give Jefferson the time to escape.

"Breaking into the royal vault, conspiring with a felon and treason to the crown" she replied and I wanted to scoff since technically 'Underland' didn't even have royal rights except for the past, all royal rights were to the United States of Auradon and in the hands of Ben so really for her to charge me and sentence me to anything serious had to go through him.

"Well then technically Wonderland is a faction of the United States of Auradon so I think we should get the king involved, don't you?"

"That won't be necessary-" before she had the chance to finish her sentence the door behind us opened once again and my eyes widened when I watched Jefferson, Ace and Harry being escorted in.

"What the hell happened to the plan Jefferson?!" I snapped angrily but his eyes immediately turned to look at Harry and I understood. "You were supposed to leave"

"You and I are gonna talk, young lady" Ace spoke up and I rolled my eyes at him before my eyes met Harry's and he glared straight towards me but said nothing and I knew he was angry...probably furious but I couldn't think about that now since Ace hadn't stopped to stand next to me and had walked towards Mirana as far as the guards let him before being stopped. "Hello Mirana"

"Will" she greeted back and I raised an eye since who the hell was Will, my father had another name?

"I ask that you let my daughter, the sea-rat and the Hatter go, they've done nothing but try and help me retrieve something that your sister took from me, if you have to punish anyone than punish me-"

"No" I spat and went to walk forward but Harry grabbed my arm and pulled me back towards him, I turned meeting his eyes and they told me everything I needed to know...he had his old mischievous glint in his eyes which told me they were up to something and I had to play along.

"And what was it that my sister took?" Mirana asked and Ace's response was to hold up the box in which contained his heart and her eyes widened at the sight of it.

"She took my heart, which you had known at the time"

"I thought it was returned to you when you went to the Isle of the Lost"

"King Beast never recovered it, it was lost in the badlands and being that I'm not supposed to step foot in Underland which I will take responsibility for breaking that rule to my pardon I knew I had to get help and when I'd heard that Ilizabeth had gotten herself trapped here I saw an opportunity-"

"You treat your daughter like a tool-" I glared at her since the only one who'd treated me like an object and tool was her, just to keep control of this godforsaken place in her own bloodline.

"I don't care for my daughter, Iracebeth and I were a mistake and she the result of that, I just wanted my heart" he admitted and while I knew this already it was like a smack to the face.

"Yet you're here to take her place"

"I might not care about her but it is my crime, she doesn't belong here...if you let them go I'll go willingly"

"I don't believe you" Mirana stated and my eyes widened when all the guards pointed their lances at us.

"Enough!" all our heads turned once again towards the doors and watched as Ben and Mal walked into the room and my eyes widened a little wondering when and how they got here.

"King Benjamin" Mirana bowed and I smirked feeling a little smug now with their arrival since it was about damn time to be honest.

"What is the meaning of this?" Ben asked her.

"Forgive me my king, this is but a matter of Underland's security, this man breached his pardon and my sister's daughter rebelled and was helping him" I rolled my eyes since did my Aunt know anything, I literally helped save all of Auradon from Audrey.

"I've heard about your allegations and as such I think this is for the crown of Auradon to decide their fate" Ben argued with her and she could do nothing but nod. "As such we've heard what's transpired and we find Ilizabeth Hearts not guilty of treason, Ace of Hearts is in breach of his pardon and will face disciplinary action of one year in Auradon prison" Ben replied and my eyes widened but I knew there was nothing I could do since my father had breached his pardon and it would be the same fate if say Captain Hook went to Neverland which is why we weren't merchant suppliers for that half of Auradon. "Harry Hook has taken no part in the actions transpired and is such not guilty, Jefferson Hatter is not guilty of treason and is free to do or go wherever he pleases"

"Of course your majesty" my Aunt bowed and that was that, we were all free...well most of us as I had no choice but to watch my father be placed in shackles and escorted out to a jail car already waiting but I wasn't letting him go like this and noticed one of the guards holding his heart in it's box.

"Give me that" I went over and grabbed it before making my way towards Ben. "I went through so much to get this, he deserves it back" I opened it and showed him what it was and his eyes widened at it and I understood seeing someone's heart enchanted like this wasn't something anyone of this generation had ever seen. "I don't know how it's put back-"

"I can help with that" our heads turned and I saw the Fairy Godmother so I turned and held it towards her, she took the box and approached my father with it and he turned seeing her with it.

"Wait, I have things I need to say to my daughter first" I furrowed my brows. "In private, could we have a minute you highness?" he asked looking at Ben.

"Of course" Ben agreed every the kind and noble king and everyone began to walk away leaving me with my father and Harry but after one look at him he too walked away leaving just me with my father.

"What are you doing, you wanted your heart back-"

"Ilizabeth hush, grownups are talking" he cut me off and I glared at him. "Now your entire life I've been the worlds crappiest father I know that but everything that I did was for your own good" I rolled my eyes since I've heard all this before. "But I wasn't because I didn't care about you or just to save myself the guilt, whether I liked it or not you are my daughter and I do care for ya"

"Yeah-"

"Believe what you want kiddo but you are my daughter and in a way I do love ya" he cut me off again then turned. "Alright I'm ready for my heart back" he called out and Fairy Godmother wasted no time coming back over and picked up the heart out of the back and gently pressed it against his chest and I watched as it disappeared back in his chest and he gasped as if it hurt and I'd imagine it wasn't a pleasant feeling.

I watched as his eyes opened and they immediately fell on me before he winked with a smirk and was placed in the jail car and I watched as it drove away with a heavy feeling in my own heart as it disappeared since all this time he might've actually been a father and he chose now to tell me, my entire life he's had that chance and he chose the time he was to leave...I hate him!.

"You okay?" I turned to face Mal and that's when I noticed the wetness of my cheeks so I quickly lifted my hand and brushed them away since I would not cry in front of this many people.

"I'm fine" I spat and made a move to leave.

"I know what it's like to have your father to reveal that he actually cares about you and I'm here if you need to talk"

"Thanks Queenie but I'm all good" I smirked playing it off and she nodded walking over to Ben which left me to turn and my eyes roam over the crowd for my fiancé and found him leaning against the royal limo so I took a deep breath and walked towards him. "How much do you hate me right now, is it safe?" I asked him jokingly even though I knew he was already mad.

"I don't hate yeh but you and I need to have a really good talk about your suicidal tendencies but not right now" he spat before I felt his hand on my waist and he pulled me forward crashing his lips against mine in a very domineering kiss which I allowed...just this once.

"Alright, let's all get back to Auradon" Ben announced parting Harry and I and I raised my eyes since how did he plan on doing that...I still didn't understand how they got here in the first place.

"How did you guys even get here?" I asked them

"The mirror, Jefferson came through and Fairy Godmother was able to use the mirror along with the looking glass in the museum it actually was a missing piece to it and it created the means to creating a portal to this place for everyone, Wonderland is now open to Auradon"

"Okay wow" I stated since while that was good for people who wanted to come here and they clearly needed the upgrades in which Auradon had but I was lucky if I never had to see this godforsaken place again.

"You ready to leave this place?"

"You have no idea" I replied instantly and took his hand and got into the royal limo with Ben and Mal sharing some last words with my Aunt before they too got in and I was finally getting the hell out of Wonderland.
