Book 1 chapter 28

Heartslabyul Student A:  All hail our leader, the Red Sovereign himself... Housewarden Riddle!

Heartslabyul Students:  We salute you, Housewarden Riddle!

"Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white... This seems a proper unbirthday indeed.
Is there a dormouse asleep in the teapo- Er, well, I suppose it's fine either way." Riddle Corrected himself, looking around with judging eyes

"Not everything has to change completely, you know.
Like, maybe spread the jam on your scones, instead of on the dormouse this time?
Let's try to set the bar at "it's great if it's this way," not "it absolutely has to be this way." " Trey encouraged Riddle with a soft smile

"Yes, that makes sense." Riddle answered, a little tense

"Sigh* I can't believe we got roped into cleaning up and prepping the garden again." Ace sighed out, taking a seat on the chair next to y/n

"Well, at least the housewarden recovered from his overblot without any complications." Deuce tried to point out the bright side

"And the garden is Magicam-worthy once again! Hashtag #nofilter on this gorgeousness!" Cater cheered, taking the seat on the other side of y/n

"Blah blah blah! Let's just eat already!" Grim spoke impatiently

"Then eat we shall! I'll get the-" Cater stopped as Riddle cut him off

"Wait a minute!" Everyone held their breath

"Huh?" Cater asked cluelessly

"There's a white rose...!" Riddle spotted, one of the heartslabyul students almost fainted

"We missed one?!" Ace gasped out

Y/n looked away sheepishly since she had actually painted the back of the rose with beautiful red designs and forgot to paint the front.

"Ace, Deuce, I told you to make sure to paint EVERY rose!" Cater scolded as y/n looked away awkwardly

"Wait, this is our fault?!" Deuce answered incredulously

"R-Riddle, listen..." Trey stuttered

"I'm sorry!" Y/n suddenly yelled out, closing her eyes

"that was my fault" she admitted nervously

"Well... I suppose I can overlook one or two missed roses." Riddle changed his answer, learning that the female had done it accidentally

"R-really?! That's so generous of you, Riddle!" Cater smiled, throwing an arm over y/n's shoulders

" If we work together, we should be able to get them painted in no time." Riddle smiled, tugging y/n away from Cater

"What? They still gotta be painted?!" Ace whined out

"Even so... I'm impressed. You've changed, Riddle." Trey smiled

"I'm starvin' here! Let's just get these stupid roses painted or whatever!" Grim groaned out

"All right, is everyone ready?" Riddle called out

"When's the last time you did the painting, Riddle?" Trey questioned

"Hard to say. I've let the dorm members handle it since I became housewarden." He answered

"It's kinda fun once in a while. Well, less so with a bunch of clueless freshmen." Cater teased

"Hey! Do you mean us?!" Ace spoke insulted

"After all the painting I've had to do, I'm about to wipe the floor with Riddle!" Grim growled out
