After the tart issue, and the disturbance Y/n has caused me. I still haven't forgotten the upcoming unbirthday.
So far things have been going smoothly as I hope it would. No issues, besides the growth in people not following the rules.
They don't want to lose their head, yet they're okay with rule-breaking?
It was almost time to start the unbirthday, as I stood back into the rose maze waiting for the student to annouce my arrival.
"All hail our leader, the red sovereign himself... Dormleader Riddle!" Hm glad to know he remember the lines, so far so good. I thought to myself walking out the maze.
As I walked out, the students were clapping their hands cheering on. "We salute you, Dormleader Riddle!" One of them shouted.
I looked around to see if anything was out of place during the party. "Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white..."
Proud to say eveything was rightfully done. "This seems a proper unbirthday indeed."
I turned facing Trey, who was standing beside me. "Is there a dormouse asleep in the teapot, as there should be?"
"Of course." Trey spoke showing me the teapot. "And should it become necessary, we've also prepared the jam to spread on his nose."
"Very good." I replied to Trey as he only smiled. "Thoses are some fancy dubs!" I slightly looked over, almost shocked.
"These are Heartslabyul dorm clothes. Aren't they fierce?" Cater spoke to them as he pointed at our outfits.
I grumbled to myself walking away. I doubled checking everything, before walking back in center to begin speaking.
"Ahem! Before we begin the croquet tournament, let us make a toast. Does everyone have their teacup?" I spoke as everyone nodded showing their teacup.
"On this most significantly unauspicous of days, I bid all in attendance..." I said roughly, clearing my throat again.
"A very merry unbirthday!" I said along with everyone shouting "To a very merry unbirthday!" Sitting down, I saw Ace get up walking my direaction from the coner of my eye.
"Uh, dormleader, sir..." Ace spoke up, as I only glanced at him. "Well isn't it the tart thief."
Ace frowned before smiling again. "Yeah, well I wanted to apologize for eating it. So we made you a new tart. As a replacement."
I placed the teacup down, looking at Ace curious. "Exactly, what kind of tart is it?" I questioned him.
When I asked, Ace smile grew wider as he proudly spoke up. "I'm glad you asked. It's a chestnut tart!" I grew shocked by the words I just heard.
"A CHESTNUT TART?!" I yelled standing up. "What?" Ace asked confused.
"In The Queen of Hearts's rule 562: "One must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party." I angirly explanied, as Ace only grew more confused.
"Do you understand what you've done?! This is utter disrespect. A flagrant rule violation!"
"Saying how you've Ruined an otherwise perfect unbirthday!" I shouted at Ace, as everyone became quiet. "Rule 562...?!" Deuce yelped. Along with everyone else.
"You guys are shocked by that!?" Y/n spoke as everyone looked over, me inclued.
"I'm more shocked that he memorized them all..." They said rubbing the back of their neck. I frowened crossing my arms. "There are 810 rules in all, and as dormleader, I can of course! Recite each and every single one of them."
Everyone was silent, a few whipsered here and there.
"As dormleader of Heartslabyul established to honor the Queen of Hearts's rigor, I cannot ignore this. Destory the offending tart immediately! And throw the rulebreakers out this dorm at once!"
I order, as Ace scoffed clearly frustrated. "Whoa, hold on! Is that one of your rules too?!"
Soon Grim hopped onto the table, standing next to Ace. "Yeah! If you want the tart gone that bad, let me eat it!" I was about to speak up, when Trey walked over to me.
"Dormleader, allow me to apologize, I suggested making a chestnut tart." He spoke as Cater stared in panic.
Soon Cater walked up as well. "I was part of that too. We had no idea there was a rule about that!" He spoke trying to keep calm.
"The making of it isn't the issue. The main issue is bringing it Here. THAT is the transgression!" I angerly replied to them.
"How can you live by such rules... it's so. foolish." Y/n whispered, as I walked over to them. "What? Did you just call me? "Foolish"?!"
I spoke up, as they flinched back a bit surprised. "Okay everyone, calm down! Don't dig this any deeper!"
"Ahem Riddle, please try to remember that these are new students... They've only been here a few days." Cater spoke up trying to calm the situation.
"Nah bro I am digging, with a shovel and everything!" Ace spoke up walking in front of me.
"Throwing away a tart! To obey some insane rule, is about as foolish as it gets." Soon Deuce walked up next to him. "I agree with Ace. Of course I understand rules need to be followed, but this is going too far!"
"..Hey, besties if you're gonna be rude to the strawberry do it away from me..!" Y/n said to the two.
"Bold move you guys are doing, though breaking even the smallest rule, is throwing you wide towards the gate to anarchy." I spoke glaring at them.
"Everyone is afraid of getting their magic sealed away." Ace spoke soon staring at everyone.
"Everyone here! Is afraid of getting their magic sealed away, though you know this is insane, right?!" It was quiet as I Ace only glared.
"Well? Isn't it?" I spoke up as the students started to tremble. "N-no, we're far from that, dormleader Riddle, sir!"
One of the students yelled out. "We trust in your judgment, sir!" Another spoke as, leaving Ace shocked. "You spineless, fair-weather cowards..."
"In my year of being a dormleader, No one, not a single student has dropped out or been held back a year. Furthermore, we are the only house that can boast such a feat. Of everyone in this dorm, I have the best academic standing." I said to Ace.
"Hence to why I am the most correct! If you simply obeyed without question, we wouldn't need to contend to this."
"Listen, we-!" Deuce starting speaking. "It's not off with their head because "i" want to do that. I do it because rules must never be broken." I said cutting Deuce off.
Everyone was still quiet as I just grew more frustrated. "So what if no one wants to follow you?" Y/n said, leaving everyone else to panic. "If you will not obey me, then I will have All of your heads!"
I shouted, leaving everyone to panic.
"Okay, everyone say "Yes, Dormleader Riddle..." Cater whisperd to the group of freshmen in front of me. They all faced him.
"...I can't" Deuce whispered back to Cater. "Why should I, I'm not bowing to a self-important tyrant...!" Y/n whispered slightly louder.
"...What did you just call me?" I asked.
"They called you a tyrant for wantin' to destroy good food just cause of your tantrum!" Grim yelled.
Deuce paniced, staring to freak out. "Guys, I don't think we should escalted it far-"
"Off! With Your Heads!" I shouted as collars flung out hitting Grim and Deuce. Y/n stepped back, before opening their eyes feeling their neck relieved.
"BWAAAAH!!" Both Grim and Deuce yelled.
"No... No! Not this thing again!" Grim panicked. "Gah! I- I can't get it off!" Deuce spoke, holding the collar.
Y/n, soon step up glaring. "All this over a tart!? Stealing away people's magic all for breaking a few rules!"
"What kind of bullshit is that!?" They yelled.
"You think you can just speak up since you don't have a collar? For your information, not having on the collar shows just how worthless you really are."
They stood their ground, as I spoke up. "If I had the magic to send you back home, I would glady do so."
"That way I don't stand here wasting my time with someone such as yourself."
They frowned a bit, crossing their arms trying to keep calm. "Just so you know, I actually liked you since you seemed really talented."
"I gave you a nickname making it a special bond between us... Hoping we could've been friends."
They looked away, sighing. "Now getting to see the way you act is just... dissapointing."
I crossed my arms, glaring at them in a few seconds of silence, when I cleared my throat. "Trey, Cater. Eject them from the premise immeditanly."
"...Yes sir, Dormleader." Both Cater and Trey spoke. Pulling them away.
"Y-you're supposed to be our "mentors"!" Deuce shouted, getting dragged. "Sorry, but we can't disobey the orders!" Cater spoke.
"Sorry guys.." Trey said pulling Ace out. "Oh, so that's how it is? Bring it on then!" Ace yelled.
I stilled stood in front of Y/n, as they watched those two get pulled out. They looked back at me, before walking away towards them.
What a disaster this unbirthday has become. I said to myself watching them leave.
