Ace would have been off training in using his Keyblade if the Cheshire Cat hadn't spoken in his riddlestic way to tell him that he should be in today's session of the court. The last thing he wanted to see was his mother yell "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!" to another citizen that did some wrongdoing. She was very much like the Queen before her. At least she was in public. Behind closed doors she was kind of different. Still mad, but different. Ace really didn't like any of this. He was the one of the closest things to sane in this Topsy-turvy world of theirs. He was bored just listening on to these ramblings. As much as he didn't like the beheading aspect of the court he was still hoping for excitement. That damn Cat better not have tricked him into coming here for no reason.

Before the sentence could be issued he heard some yelling and rambling over by the entrance. Could this be what Cheshire was talking about? He wasn't going to let this pass him up if he did. Ace jumped from his seat and ran towards the entrance before jumping over the "guilty" party and stopped behind him. [color=0076a3]"You're free to go. As the Prince of Heart I declare it so."[/color] Dammit. He hated when he rhymed on accident. It made him feel a bit crazier than he was. He then started running towards the entrance to see what was going on.

His mother was visibly angry as her face flushed with red and steam poured from her ears. [color=ed1c24]"You dare interrupt my sentencing and free the riff raff!? Off with---"[/color]

[color=f7976a]"Dear, you can't cut off your son's head."[/color] Ace's father riskily interrupted.

[color=ed1c24]"Oh, yes I can."[/color] She retorted. [color=ed1c24]"I'm the Queen of Hearts. I can do anything I please."[/color]

[color=f7976a]"Yes, of course, but he's also the only heir to your throne. You need him."[/color]

[color=ed1c24]"I suppose you're right. Just this once. Don't make a habit out of it."[/color] To make sure that he didn't make a habit out of it he she swung her staff causing him to whimper a bit before getting smacked with it.

Ace could hear what was going on with his parents as he neared the entrance. He didn't really care for it. When he arrived he saw as the guards were preparing to fight what seemed like a duck? He had seen weirder things in this land.

[color=0076a3]"Step aside Royal Flush. Let this duck pass."[/color]
