The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves and fell on Talant and Alice, as if they were wrapped in a thin layer of golden light. When they stepped into the depths of the mist forest, the fog grew so intense that the smoke choked them apart. Tarrant was in tears when he choked, but when he looked back, he saw that Alice was nowhere to be seen, and he looked around anxiously.
Just as he was looking back, he suddenly felt something hit behind him. He turned his head, and a nervous heart relaxed in a moment - it was Alice! He breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to pull her back. But she quietly came close, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and buried her head in his chest. Tarant stood a moment, finding her smile odd. He felt a little embarrassed and couldn't help asking in a low voice:"Whysocloseallofasudden?" Alice looked up with a cat's sly smile, paused every now and then, and said in a low voice, "Tarrant, I want you..."
Tarrant's face turned red, his heart pounded, and he stared wide-eyed:"Now？ There！"He stammered in a whisper as she came closer, and he could hear his heart beat with excitement. Suddenly Alice took off his hat and laughed brightly:"……Yourhat！"Tarrant stunned. The flush on his face hadn't gone away before he realized that it wasn't Alice, but... Cheshire Cat! The familiar cat smile gradually appeared on Alice's face, and she giggled at Tarrant: "Relax, old friend!Justalittlesmokejoke.Then it wrapped its tail around Talant's shoulder and lay in the air with his hat on its head. Tarrant's pupils turned crimson, his eyelids darkened, and he clenched his fists and whispered, "What about Alice!" The Cheshire Cat spun around and quickly apologized:"Lendmeyourhatandi'llhelpyoufindher."
On the other side, the real Alice was lost in the fog. She groped her way forward, feeling anxious in her heart. She was about to walk out of the forest when she felt a soft pat on her shoulder and turned to see Tarrant standing behind her, but his pupils were eerily blue and green. Before he could ask, Tarrant grinned and gently praised her for being so brave and independent that she almost walked out of the forest."Followme.we'llbeoutsideinnotime.After saying that, he pointed to the front and indicated to follow him. The two soon saw the house of the March Hare, but the "Tarran" suddenly hugged Alice and even licked her hair. She froze for a moment and furrowed her brow - a familiar cat smell hit her nose.
She was wondering when, in the distance, an angry, messy-haired Tarrant appeared, missing his trademark hat. Seeing the "Tarant" in front of him quietly showing its tail, Alice immediately understood and couldn't help but laugh. She laughed and threw herself into the real Tarrant's arms, laughing loudly, and the Cheshire cat regained its true cat form in midair, a corner of her mouth rising triumphantly. "You prankster!" Tarrant continued angrily. As Alice gently kissed his lips to soothe him and smoothed his collar, Tarrant finally calmed down.
He held her tightly, combed her hair for her forehead, and whispered to her if she had been frightened. Alice obediently shook her head and smiled, while the Cheshire Cat approached shyly and returned the hat to Alice. She smiled and put on her hat for Tarrant, and the three of them finally set off for the tea party together.
At the tea party, Sacramento, the March Hare, was busy sweating and putting pots of tea and refreshments on the table. Mary, the Dormouse, curled up beside the teapot and fell asleep, while Maxwell, the white rabbit, moved anxiously between the tables, muttering:"Everythingready?Isthatenoughtime?Iseveryonesatisfied?"The Cheshire cat appeared lightly on his shoulder:"Don'tworry,oldfriend.Theherosaid,takeyourtime.Maxwell jumped up in fright, and Tarrant glanced disapprovingly at the Chai Cat and sat down, still pouting.
At the noisy tea party, when Scurry was discussing the dress scheme for the ball, Mary was still asleep, and the White Rabbit was meticulous filling everyone with tea. Chai Princess Cat playfully proposed that everyone wear a ball dress with a tail, and the Tweedles brothers could not help laughing, saying that they would not wear fancy clothes.
Tarrant was close to Alice and said in a low voice:"RememberthatnewhatImentioned?"Alice nodded gently, her eyes full of expectation. Tarrant took out a beautifully wrapped small box from behind his back and handed it to her. She gently opens the box and sees a hat decorated with colorful feathers and brilliant stones, a unique shape that combines elegance and eccentric beauty, just like Tarrant. Alice put her hat on, and everyone shouted their admiration.
Tarrant bowed deeply and said in a dramatic tone:"Imadethishatformyfavoriteprincess!This hat was made for my favorite princess! )" Alice smiled and patted his shoulder teasingly, "Looks like you want me to praise you in public."Tarant stood straight for an instant, blinking and smiling:"Themadhatterwouldbeworthdyingfor.He gazed at her with deep affection, his eyes full of tenderness like water.
The Tweedles brothers almost sprayed the tea out, and when the Dormouse was woken up and saw the affectionate brothers, he fainted again. Maxwell hurried to perform "cardiopulmonary resuscitation" for him. Suckley laughed wildly and grabbed the cake and threw it at the Cheshire Cat. Amidst the laughter, the cake slipped off the Cheshire Cat's head.
Night came quietly, and the moonlight filled the wooded fields, enveloping the surroundings with a soft silver glow. After the noise, friends left one by one, and Talant gently took Alice's hand and walked slowly along the path towards the castle.
From time to time, lightning worms shimmered beside them in the grass. Alice snuggled on Tarrant's shoulder, quietly enjoying the serenity. Tarrant told her that he was going to the castle to present the designs to the two queens, and incidentally asked the queens for some cake.
But the rules of the cake must have a reason to get it. He had to explain to the queen in a roundabout way that his family members were not at home at that time, and that Alice did not want to go back to the castle alone."Bytheway...Wecangetalongmore...So..."
The queen instantly understood, and the red queen on the side smiled amusedly. After they briefly said goodbye, Alice and Tarrant both hurried away, both blushing slightly.
The night sky was deep, the moon was gentle, and the night was quiet. The soft moon shone on the grass path, and the shadows of the trees were dappled. Tarant held Alice's hand, his fingertips pressed against her, and his pace slowed unconsciously. He leaned slightly and couldn't help but look down at her. Her beauty made him smile a gentle smile.
At the side of the road, he stopped suddenly, bent down a little, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, and whispered:"Thisseemslikeagoodplace,doesn'tit?"
Alice raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a hint of playfulness. Tarant lowered his head slightly, and his soft lips gently touched hers, as if testing, with a hint of gentle timidity. His kiss was warm and affectionate, his fingertips slipped quietly to her cheek and brushed gently, making her close her eyes and immerse herself in this brief and sweet moment.
The breeze was light, the surroundings were quiet, and time was standing still. As his lips parted, he gasped slightly, staring at her with a smile in his eyes,"Wholetthemoonlightistoobeautiful,cannothelpbutwanttostealakissmyprincess."He said softly, with a sense of satisfaction and joy in his voice, and she just smiled and gently pushed him, with a faint blush on her face.
