Wait, what is this I am hearing? I am certainly not evil one bit. How could someone ever think that I, the Queen of Hearts, am evil. Not in my life would I ever kill Alice! She is such a sweet girl you know. You probably do because she is the nice one and I am “evil”. Also, I did not make a card army to destroy my dear citizens lives!
