[The Morning of the party]

Yuuna, Grim, Ace, and Deuce woke up really early for the unbirthday party, as Ace got the Mont Blanc from the fridge to give to Riddle.

Y/n wasn't joining due to staying up late way past midnight reading and sighing documents from Permafrost that Estella gave her. Let's just say, Y/n wasn't happy that she wouldn't be able to join the unbirthday party.

So right now, Y/n just sleeping with her familiars in their animal forms. I a really cute scene indeed.

When the others arrived at Heartslabyul, they were greeted by Cater, "Rise and Shiine!" he greeted them with a peace sign.

"Oh, uh. Where are your uniforms?" he asked. Ace and Grim just yawned as Yuuna and Deuce just stared at the diamond boy.

"Today's occasion calls for formal dress. The queens' decrees being absolute and all that jazz." Cater reminded.

"Ooh...it seems I left my dorm uniform in my room" Yuuna answered.

"Real shame that I can't just go grab mine at our dorm. Thanks to a certain SOMEONE" Ace says in a snarky manner.

"Same here..." Deuce groaned a bit.

"Oh? Well, Nice guy Cater will doll you up, and on the house, too! Don't worry about it"

With a wave of his pen, Deuce and Ace's where put in their dorm uniform, as Grim and Yuuna's matched with the theme of Heartslabyul

"There!~"

"Wow, it's beautiful. Thank you Cater" Yuuna thanked, giving herself a little twirl.

Deuce, Ace, and Grim looked at their new clothes in aw.

"Don't forget your lil' gift wrapped tart~ Annnd....It's time for Heartslabyul's time-honored Unbirthday party!" Cater cheered, showing them group the rose garden area for the party. It was absolutely breathtaking.

"talk about Swanky!" Grim exclaimed as Yuuna's eyes was sparkling.

Ace noticed something about some students, "hm? Why are there a lotta gus in collars?" he asked.

"It's a looong story..." Cater nervously laughed.

Everyone went to their respective seats as the sound of a trumpet was heard, gathering everyone's attention. "All hail our housewarden...the red-rose ruler!! His grace, his excellency, Housewarden Riddle!" a student yelled, as 5 students on each side lined up a path for Riddle, standing like the card soldiers.

"Hurray! Housewarden Riddle!"

"Ah, yes. The roses bathed in red the table bedecked in white..." Riddle says, looking around while walking to his seat. "A completely flawless unbirthday, really."

"Were you careful to include a dormmouse in the teapot?" Riddle asked, taking a seat in his chair. "Of course. The jam to put on its nose is ready in case things go south" Trey answered. "Very good." Riddle smiled, as Trey poured some tea in Riddle's cup.

"Was Y/n unable to make it? I had invited her as well"

"One of her familiar told that she pulled an allnighter doing some paper-work from Permafrost, so she's unable to make it" Trey answered, Riddle couldn't help but frown.

"How disappointing..." Riddle mumbled as she lifted his teacup. "I trust everyone has their teacup ready?"

"Very well. In celebration of someone's very merry unbirthday! Cheers!" Everyone lifted their teacups in the air.

"Cheers!"

"Hey, Ace, now's your chance" Yuuna suggested. Ace grabs the present, huffing a bit. "Here goes.."

Ace walked towards Riddle's table, hiding his gift behind his back. "Umm..dorm leader. I wanted to apologize for eating that tart the other day by baking you a new one."

Riddle rose his brow up, turning towards Ace. "Did you, now? What sort of tart, exactly?" he asked.

Ace then opened the box, showing the tart, "Feat your eyes on this! It's a Mont Blanc, made with tons of freshly picked chestnuts!"

"Mont Blanc, you say...?!"

'uh oh...' Yuuna thought.

"Unbelievable!!" Riddle shouted, having an angered expression on his face. Trey and Cater turned toward him in shock.

"By the decrees of the queen of hearts, article 562: One mustn't take a Mont Blanc to an unbirthday party!" Riddle stood up, slapping his hands on the table, "This is a serious rule violation! See what you've done?! You ruined our perfectly ideal unbirthday!!" Riddle shouts.

"Article 562?! H-how many are there?" Deuce asked.

A sudden feeling a cold air filled the air, signaling someone has arrived, "There are exactly 810 rules in total. With a little magic, I was able to absorb all of the articles into my brain. I'm amazed how Riddle was to memorize all of them in such short time" a voice said.

Everyone turned towards the person who spoke, "Y/n!?"

"Hello~" she waved.

"Wait...810?!" Yuuna shouts.

"That's insane...Did you know that, Trey?" Cater asked, turning towards the green-haired boy. "I've only memorized up to article 350 or so...which means I'm basically unprepared to handle this. Who knew there were rules on the type of tart...?"

"This means that you shouldn't have let your guard down" Y/n scolded. Students began to mutter as Y/n walks up to Riddle.

"Perhaps give him a break? after all, he didn't know" Y/n patted Riddle's shoulder in hopes to bring the dark aura surrounding him. Ira...

'Ira...what are you planning?' Y/n asked in her thoughts.

'a female voice answered. It was Ira.

Suddenly, Ira shifted into a female shadow and whispered in Riddle's ear. '

Riddle's anger only grew larger, thanks to the influence of Ira, the abyssal blossom of Wrath "I, as housewarden of Heartslabyul, who honors the queen of hearts' severity over everything else, can't possibly turn a blind eye to this infraction!. Discard that Mont Blanc this instant!" he ordered.

"That's a joke, right?!" Ace asked.

"Hold up! You're making Zero sense!" Yuuna tried to reason.

"She's right! So lemme eat it if you're gonna toss it!" Grim asked.

"Housewarden! My apologies. I'm the one who suggested he bring that pastry." Trey tries too take the blame, only for Y/n to frown sadly.

"Who knew there'd be a rule like that, am I right?" Cater asked, using his happy-go-lucky tone.

"That it was made isn't important...that you brought it! Here, today! That is the course of the problem!" Riddle corrected.

"B-but do you really need to follow that rule?" Yuuna asked shyly. "Nobody seems bothered by the Mont blanc's presence to be honest" she squeaked a bit, completely nervous as she was on the verge of tears.

"Literally. Anyone following this system has gotta be a complete idiot!" Ace states.

Both Riddle and Y/n widen their eyes at the insult, as clenched their fist, while Y/n had an angered Shinobu smile. "Complete...idiot..?" Riddle was so close to snapping.

'Of course. Why would anyone dare start following such an idiotic rule?' Ira continued to corrupt Riddle.

"Stop! That kinda language is off limits!" Cater warned.

"Yeah, no. Bringing some stupid tart is a rule violation? You are full of idiocy!" Ace argued back.

"I'm with Ace. Rules are clearly meant to be followed, but...this is getting way out of hand!" Deuce defended.

"You've got a lot of nerve to mouth off at me that like?" Riddle talked in a dark tone. "Listen carefully. Listen carefully. Even the smallest rule infraction gives rise to bigger issues."

"I know you guys are scared of the guillotine, but you're got to know this nots, right?!" Ace asked the crowd, who flinched in fear.

"Oh, really?" Riddle asked, as everyone panicked.

"Far from it, housewarden!"

"Everyone relies on your impeccable judgment!"

"Look at these cowards. Talk about lame." Ace grumbled.

"In the year since I became housewarden, not a single one of heartslabyul students have repeated a year, nor suffered expulsion. That makes me the one in the right! Not only am I the best student in our dorm, but I'm also the strongest!" Riddle started off. "All you have to do is follow me without protest!"

"It's not like I want to send all your heads rolling. You rulebreakers are the ones in the wrong..." Riddle gripped his staff. "Deliberately disobeying me...and even influencing my rose's mind to be more forgiving...It's off with all your hands!" Riddle shouts.

"Just go with the flow, guys! Just say, yes housewarden!" Cater shouts towards them.

"...I don't think so." Yuuna mustered by the courage to fight back.

"Same here" Deuce agreed.

"No way am I gonna kneel before this self-absorbed tyrant!"

Y/n paniced a bit, "Please, guys?!"

"What...did you say?"

"That you're a selfish, grumpy lil'tyrant who's gonna waste all this food!" Grim shouts.

"H-hey, Grim...!" Yuuna paniced.

"We didn't go that far..!" Deuce was also panicking.

Suddenly, Yuuna clenched her head, hearing the sound of ink dripping. 'again...?'

""

Deuce and Grim got collared, including Yuuna who flinched a bit.

"Trey!! Cater!! I want them thrown off the premises this instant!" Riddle shouted, as Y/n just stood there in shock.

"...Yes, housewarden" Trey and Cater said, with a sadded look on their face

Ace and Grim fought back, but Yuuna and Deuce didn't bother, since it'll make this worse for them. "Whoops! Disobeying orders is a no-no!" Cater exclaimed.

"...sorry. We'll convince him to let you back with another apology..."

Ace gritted his teeth, "Dammit!! I'll die before I ever say sorry!! And why does Y/n get to stay?!"
