Ace took a seat on the couch while I made some tea, when I gave Ace his teacup, I took a seat on the couch

"That collar's the same kind as the one that red-haired upperclassman put on me during the opening ceremony. Why're you wearin' that?" Grim asked

"I am also curious about it" I said

"I ate a tart" Ace said and I did not see that coming

"That's it?" I asked with a deadpan look

"Exactly! Only that! I got hungry, so I went to the dorm's kitchen. The tart was just sittin' right there inside the fridge. And like, three whole ones! That's why..." Ace started his story

"Sigh... It's only the first day and I'm so tired... I missed dinner, so I'm very hungry. Wonder if there's anythin' in the fridge..." Ace opens the fridge door and he saw three whole strawberry tarts "Oh! Found a tart! Looks delish~! There's a lot, so I'm not sure if I can finish it all~" Ace cut himself a piece of the tart "Thanks for the food~" Then he took a bite of the tart "Whoa! What the heck?! It's so good!" Ace said in delight but didn't realize that someone was behind him

"Of course it would be delicious. After all, anything that Trey makes is bound to be exquisite" The male with red hair said

"Nah man, this is something else! It's better than the ones in shops..." Ace said as he turned around to see the Prefect, Riddle Rosehearts "Wha-! Prefect?!" Ace shouted

"Quite the boldness you have there for touching something that belongs to me. Queen of Hearts Rule #83: "You shall not eat tarts prepared for the Queen ahead of her" Larceny of the Queen's tarts is a capital crime! OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Riddle said as he used magic on Ace and a heart-shaped lock appeared around Ace's neck

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Ace shouted

Flashback end~

"And that's what happened" Ace said as he finished telling us the story but... Grim and I just gave him a blank look

"You've only got yourself to blame" Grim said and I nodded in agreement

"But ain't it overreacting to seal my magic just cause I ate his tart?! It's practically the same as tying my hands and feet! Plus, there were three whole ones! He can't possibly finish all of those! There's a limit to how heartless he can be!"

"I do believe that binding your magic is a little over the top" I said

"Right?!" Ace shouted

"Ah! Wait a second... If there were three whole tarts, they might've been prepared for the party yanno? Like someone's birthday? Man I'm such a great detective huh!" Grim said as he started to do a self celebration

"Birthday?" Ace asked with a confused tone

"Well, I guess that makes sense. Looks like that explains why Rosehearts is upset, have you even apologized to him?" I said and asked
