Book 1 chapter 16

"Pant*... Well, this is going better than before." Deuce spoke, panting after having painted the roses

"Looking good!
Ooh, it's almost time! Okay, all you sexy body doubles, that's a wrap!" Carter spoke to his doubles

"Aye-aye, Cay-Cay!" All the Carters spoke simultaneously

When they all disappeared, Carter turned and realised y/n wasn't with them.
When they had found her, they had to literally drag her to make her stop painting the flowers.

The five then went to the courtyard where the party was being held.

"All hail our leader, the red sovereign himself... Housewarden Riddle!" A heartslabyul student spoke

"We salute you, Housewarden Riddle!" The rest of the students continued

"Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white... This seems a proper unbirthday indeed.
Is there a dormouse asleep in the teapot, as there should be?" Riddle spoke, analysing the courtyard.

"Of course. And should it become necessary, we've also prepared the jam to spread on his nose." Trey answered

"Very good." Riddle soon saw y/n in the courtyard and smiled to himself.

'Act natural!!! She might be watching me~' Riddle thought in his head as a small blush rose on his cheeks.

"Myah! Those are some fancy duds!" Grim commented

"These are Heartslabyul dorm clothes. Aren't they fierce?
At the forefront of fashion, and they look great on Magicam." Carter spoke, already imagining y/n in the said clothes

"One of the Queen's rules mandates formal dress on party days.
As a show of kindness from a beloved mentor, I'll help coordinate your outfits." Carter spoke, taking out his magic pen

"Whoa!" Deuce spoke when his clothes transformed into heartslabyul ones.

"Lookin' sharp!" Ace commented checking out his clothes that were similar to deuce's.

"Myah! So cool!" Grim even had a little suit of his own

"Woahhh" y/n spoke, twirling the dress around, her hair tied into a beautiful French braid.

It was obvious that Carter tried the hardest on y/n because she ended up looking better than the three of the boys combined

"Y/n, you look stunning! Now, let's tear this party up! And don't forget to give Riddle the tart." Carter spoke, winking at y/n

"Before we begin the croquet tournament, let us make a toast. Does everyone have their teacup?
On this most significantly unauspicious of days, I bid all in attendance... a very merry unbirthday!" Riddle suddenly interrupted their moment with his speech

Everyone:  To a very merry unbirthday!

"Ace, this is your chance!" Carter nudged the boy

"Right... Uh, housewarden, sir.." Ace started, holding out the tart

"Ah, it's you. The tart thief." Riddle spoke, unimpressed

"Yeah, so, I wanted to apologize for eating that tart. We made you a new tart to replace it." Ace spoke

"Hmm? And what kind of tart is it?" Riddle asked

" I'm so glad you asked! It's a chestnut tart, and I swear, we weren't stingy with the chestnuts." Ace bragged

"A CHESTNUT tart?!" Riddle yelled out in anger

"What?!" Ace spoke in shock of the housewardens reaction

"The Queen of Hearts's rule 562:
"One must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party."
This is an utterly flagrant rule violation! Do you understand what you've done?!
You've ruined an otherwise perfect unbirthday!"

Riddle explained in anger towards the boys

"Rule 562...?!" Deuce mumbled out in shock

"I don't even know any of those rules..." y/n sulked

"There are 810 rules in all, and housewarden, I can of course recite each and every one of them." Riddle bragged when he heard y/n's comment, hoping to impress her

"Wow, T-I-L... This could be bad. Trey, were you aware of this?" Carter asked Trey

"I was only able to memorize the first 350 or so.
Well, we really botched this one. Big-time." Trey panicked

"As housewarden of a dorm established to honor the Queen of Hearts's rigor, I cannot ignore this.
Destroy the offending tart immediately! Then throw these rulebreakers out of the dorm!..y/n can stay.." Riddle yelled at the boys
