How would you review our first match-- I mean-- date?

There were too many unforseen challenges for me. I can't say I found it satisfactory.

However, that hot chocolate wasn't bad.

I suppose I can keep going out with you.

Though there was one point about my date with you that I found most unsatisfactory. 

I already mentioned this to you, but you didn't smile at all during our date. I want you to correct this behavior at once.

I've never had to order anyone to smile before.

You are a truly strange girl.

Regardless, when next we meet,

you will show me your smile.

I'm putting this down in writing so you won't forget our next date.

We will meeet in three days, 1:00 p.m. at Central's town square.

We can look at the shops on Main Street this time.

I'm not going to try to win you over with gifts like I did before.

It's just because there's so much you don't know about Cradle. I thought I should show you more of it.

If something does catch your eye, though, you may beg for it sweetly.

I'll buy you anything you like.

After we've looked at the shops, I want to go back to that cafe.

The mille-fueille there is rather good.

And I know you always smile when you eat something sweet.

Got all that? Just to be sure, I'll write it again:

We will meet in three days, 1:00 p.m. at Cenrtral's town square.

Whatever you do, do not forget!

[Alice], when was the last time we went on a date?

It hasn't really been that long, but it feels like forever.

Since so many things have happened to us since then.

I'm sure we'll continue to face new challenges.

There will be fun times and happy times, as well as times when we're upset or sad.

But let's make a promise.

No matter what's going on in our lives, we will go on a date every weekend.

After we've had a fun or a happy week,

and after an upsetting or sad week, too.

We'll do it no matter what might happen. For example...

Even if the world were cominf to an end around us, we wouldn't let anyone or anything interfere with our rendezvous.

Let's go places you haven't seen yet.

Let's explore every last inch of Cradle together.

And once we've had our fill of ther, we can venture outside the country's borders.

We can evern go visit your Land of Reason.

If it took place at the end of the world, you and I would still have the most wonderful date.

My how the Queen of Hearts has fallen, writing such silly things.

But I just can't help it,

because I'm a hopeless case.

You are too lovable for my own good, [Alice].

And I never want you to stop driving me crazy.

I can't yet determine whether the things the Disciples of Magic said in that alleyway were true or false.

I must first speak to King Lancelot and confirm the truth. We can decide what to do about it then.

If nothing else. I can promise you this.

I will never allow them to lay a hand on you again.

When I saw you flung up against that wall, I thought my blood might actually boil.

I'm just glad you weren't hurt. That's the only good thing in this whole situation.

What will become of Cradle?

[Alice], you must not leave my side.

On my honor as the Queen of Hearts, I will keep you safe.

Dear [Alice],

Even as I write this, I know I'll never give you htis letter.

You'll probably hate me for leaving without a word.

But that's just fine.

Instead of saying goodbye, I gave you a kiss on the forehead while you were sleeping.

My only regret is that you weren't awake to scold me brazenly for it.

I wish I could have talked with you more. Even just about inconsequential things.

In the end, I never got to tell you the thing I most wanted to.

I never had any intentions of telling you, but I still wish I could.

Geez, what am I writing? This is so foolish.

But I need to get this out somehow, so I'm writing it down.

Instead of speaking the words aloud, I'll fill this blank parchment with them.

[Alice], I hope you'll still think about me from time to time even after you return to that other world.

I'll be cross with you if you froget me.

Because...

I will never, ever forget you.

Good morning, [Alice]. Did you sleep well?

I slept soundly and, in your arms, I had a dream.

I usually agree with common opinion, that heading about someone else's dream is plain borning.

But I really think you need ot hear about the dream I had this morning.

Think of it as a lover's obligation and read this letter through to the end, okay?

As for what my dream was about...

On a bright spring day, you and I were hanging laundry up to dry in a cast, verdant garden.

You laughed at me becuase I couldn't hang a sheet properly.

We got into a little argument, but made up right away and then you helped me do it right.

As the clean, white sheet and your hair fluttered on the breeze, you looked so beautiful. And there was a little child running around at your feet.

The child had yout eyes and my lips.

As I gazed at you and our child smiling, I thought that I must have died and gone to heaven.

That's what I dreamt.

And when I woke up, I made a decision.

Someday, you and I will have all that I dreamed of.

[Alice], I want you in my future.

And I want to be in yours.

I love you. Now and Always.

All you need yo do is stay by my side and allow me to take care of you.

Just let yourself be loved. That's what I want you to do.

Leave everything to me and forget all your worried and fears.

Think only of our future together. Okay?

If you marry me, Luka will become your brother-in-law.

Of course, I want the two of you to get along swimmingly.

Just like Luka and I do!

But I do not want the two of you buddying up together and leaving me out.

I assume I do not need to explain the reason why here?

If you wish to make me jealous, I will not stop you.

But I guarantee you will be the one who regrets it.

There's something you wish to talk to me about?

I know.

I know, but if I hear what you have to say then things will move forward.

You always press on ahead by yourself.

It has been like that since we met. Before I know it, I realize you are already one step ahead of me.

Even though I am not yet ready to talk about it, or to admit that I am being weak,

please. Give me time.

You are truly amazing.

You rescued that wild beast from isolation, and saved Cradle from grave danger.

And you did it all on your own through strength of body and mind.

You did something no one in either the Red or Black

Army could have done.

You should be proud of yourself.

I am sure that everyone in Cradle thinks the same thing.

But when your future husband says it, then you know if must be true.

However, one month is a very long time.

So, now I need you to use your miraculous body and mind on me, to make up for all the time I spent missing you.

Lately, I have felt eyes on me constantly when I am in headquarters.

It seems the soldiers hide in the shadows and whisper about me.

Edgar seemed very amused when he told me that.

When I ran into the pied-piper jerk in town, even he had heard the rumors.

Apparently, people are saying that if they see my smiling face, something good is bound to happen.

Does my face really look happy enough to warrant that?

I have tried looking in a mirror. but I do not understand what they see.

You are the one who sees my face the most. What do you think?

If I really am making such a happy face, then it is because of you, my wife.

And I expect you to take responsibility for what you have done to me for the rest of our lives.

Today, we become a family.

And I am writing you this letter, so I can say the things I do not want you to forget.

Number One:

I am the Queen of Hearts and your husband. You are Alice the Second and my wife.

You know what that means, do you not?

It means neither you nor l are alone any longer.

No matter what difficulties we may face, we will overcome them together.

It will be the two of us against the world even when we are old and gray.

Do not forget that. Number Two:

Though we've become family, we will always remain lovers.

We can never forget our good morning and goodnight kisses.

Now that you understand, come and give me a kiss right now.

I am waiting.

Seriously, even though it's my birthday, I was completely fooled!

I don't think I'll ever experience a birthday quite like this one ever again!

Well, in other words, it'll be a day I'll never forget.

Since I did receive numerous presents, I suppose I'll forgive you for deceiving me.

By the way, the best present of all is you, [Alice], and don't you forget it!

The letter from the phantom Thief Red said that they'd take something precious from me.

The first thing that came to my mind was you.

You've become such an important part of my life.

You really have completely stolen my heart.

[Alice], I vow to love only you.

I won't give my heart away to anyone but you.

So let me be the only one to steal yours.

You're a really strong person. You know that, don't you?

No matter what happens, you're able to shake it off and think positively.

You never cease to impress me, and I often find myself thinking about how I'm so lucky to be with someone like you.

Let's go on a date on our next day off.

I know the perfect way to show you just how much I love and appreciate you.

Listen, can you give me a break, please?

I never expected you to celebrate my birthday so much. I was so, so, so incredibly happy I thought I was going to asphyxiate!

Seriously, what is this? Are you a wizard or something? Why would you go so far just to make me happy? Really! I can't stand it!

Wait, this isn't right. I meant to write you a letter of thanks, but this sounds more like a complaint.

When I picked up the pen, I told myself I could be honest with you in a letter, at least, and yet- I'm always like this.

I don't feel like I'll be able to express my feelings properly in words, so I'll just end this here. But before I do, I'll write down for you what I was thinking, on the night of my birthday. The intensity of what I really felt.

I was thinking it while I was holding you in my arms. I thought, right then, I could fly all the way to the moon with you!

In other words, I love you to the moon and back.

Thank you. I love you, [Alice].

I never thought I'd lose my memories of you.

I know I put you through a lot of pain.

Thank you, for staying by my side even though I had forgotten you, for practicing your dancing for me, for everything.

I missed out on telling you this while I didn't have my memories, so I'm going to tell you as many times as it takes for me to be satisfied.

...I love you.

No matter how many times I might lose my memories, I vow to fall in love with you again every time.
