The Rose-Red Tyrant's Wrathful Judgement Summary
Once upon a time in a land so far away, there was a land that no mortal dared to face. Ruling with an iron fist and standing center stage, was a noble princess who attended an all-boys academy, Night Raven College.
Y/n began having these strange dreams and visions that warned her of the incoming future that all led up to the overblot of the Housewarden of Heartslabyul, Riddle Rosehearts, a dorm modeled after the Queen of Heart's strictness. But that isn't important for she'll just forget about them anyway.
From painting the roses red to having to make a tart, only to have it be trashed upon another rule breached, until a familiar-looking rebellion.
Despite her injuries, Y/n was able to purify the darkness in the Riddle's heart, completely unknown by the fact that the plan for Irina, Guardian of Judgement, was a success with the true Mastermind behind these dark plans seems to be unraveling.

Somnia Superbiae
(Dreamland of Pride)
"Mm..." Y/n groaned in her sleep, turning to the side. She was unaware of the new dreamland she was in nor aware that she was sleeping on stone. It was then a strong gust of wind blew, waking her up. "I can hear the wind...?" she muttered as she fluttered her eyes open. She sat up, rubbing her eyes only to notice that she sat on the edge of a rock. "Huh...? Where am I...?" she tiredly pondered, looking around as the dry winds blew through her hair. "Is this...the Savanna...?"
She then heard footsteps from behind, so she turned her head only to see a mighty lion and a lioness walking toward the edge. Y/n noticed a cub in the arms of the lioness with a mandrill approaching them, moving in front of the lions.
They soon came to a stop upon getting near as the lioness gave her cub to the mandrill. A bird flew high in the sky above as the mandrill stepped over to the edge, and raised the cub in the air with the crowd cheering.
"That..." Y/n looked down of the rock, slightly surprised from the large amount of animals that gathered below the rock. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice sing a different hymn.
**
A strong gust of wind blew more, causing Y/n to move her hands in front of her face, shielding her eyes from the dust. "W-Wha-" before she could even process what was going in, the wind pushed her off the edge of the cliff. "!!"
"Hidden in the dark, an evil flower blooms.
Lovely petals, faintly dripping with doom.
Dancing in a garden full of slowly dying weeds...
Echoes of their cries become the power that he needs,"
Y/n tried flapping her wings, but she couldn't fly as she just fell down into the darkness. As she fell and fell, she heard another a female sing another.
"I am your loyal maid, and you're our country's king.
Us, a pair of pitied twins, burdened by our destiny.
Let hellfire consume me, if that's what must be done.
I will gladly play the part, so that you may shine, my sun..."
**
Y/n harshly landed on the dry stone ground, making her groan in pain. She sensed something above, and before she knew it, a large cage dropped down on her, trapping her inside. "?!" she widen her eyes and quickly got to her feet. She placed her hands on the bars, trying to escape. "Hello...! Anyone?! Brother...Riddle...!" she shouted.
Suddenly, the air got all dry, causing her to cough violently as dust and sand flew in the air. She covered her mouth and nose, squinting as she felt tears form in her eyes from the dust. She noticed a inky puddle form in front of a stone throne in front of her cage, gritting her teeth from how disturbed she felt as a lion beastmen's claw began clawing its way above the puddle.
"G-Get away from me!" Y/n shouted upon seeing a dark figure emerge from the puddle. She grabbed her katana, unleashed a powerful blow to the cage that caused it to shatter like glass. She gasped in surprise from how easy it was the break the cage.
Without a second thought, she turned her heels and ran away from the stone throne, earning a growl from the dark figure. As she ran, she only sank deeper in pitch black water that met up to her ankles, forming more scales on her legs. She only continued on running but suddenly, a large shadow appeared behind her and slammed onto her. "Gah!"
"My beloved kitten...my prey," A deep voice says, holding onto a squirming Y/n who desperately tried to break free as inky claws wrapped around her body, cutting her skin slightly.
"Argh...!" Y/n yelped, gritting her teeth as she tried to reach over to her sword, only to have a hand grab her both of her wrists, pulling them back behind her.
"You will witness the REBIRTH of the new king of the Savanna, as I shall make you my beloved Queen," The dark voice says, a grin forming on it's face.
*
"Don't worry...once I'm king, I'll have all the power to search for a cure without any limits," A unfamiliar voice vowed. It was filled with sorrow mixed with resentment as a hand tighten its grip on another.
"Darling...please don't do anything risky...*cough* ...for my sake..."

Lumikuinen Minka - Your Room
"...agh! H-Help...me...!" Y/n screamed in her sleep, thrashing her arounds around as tears rolled down her face and onto the bed. "Help me...!" she cried as her shoji door slammed opened.
"My Rose?!" "Sister!" Riddle and Isfrid shouted in worry, rushing over to Y/n and desperately trying to wake her up from her nightmare.
"My Rose, please wake up!" Riddle shouted in worry, shaking Y/n. Y/n shot up from her bed, gasping for air as sweat and tears rolled down her face.
"*gasp*... *gasp*" Y/n panted before placing a hand over her head from the dizziness she felt caused by getting up too quickly. "Ugh..."
"Your majesty...are you alright?" Isfrid asked, taking out a handkerchief and used it to wipe away the sweat and tears from her face as Y/n controlled her breathing.
Y/n then turned toward the two with confusion written all over her eyes. "Brother...Riddle...? W-What are you guys doing here...?" she asked.
"I woke up to the sound of your cries," Isfrid answered.
"I was...crying...?" Y/n asked, having completely forgotten.
"Mhm..." Isfrid meekly nodded, not surprised that his sister had forgotten before eyeing Riddle. "I don't know why he is here though..."
"I..." Riddle stuttered with a flustered expression on his face, clenching his fists over his chest. "I...suddenly felt the need to see you. When I entered the dorm...I knew you were in distress when I heard your cries,"
"Hmm..." Y/n hummed.
Riddle leaned over to Isfrid. "Has she always had nightmares this severe...?" he worriedly asked.
"Indeed," Isfrid nodded, pressing his lips together in a fine line. "It happens once in awhile...but they've been quite severe during the time of my leave," he narrowed his eyes.
"Could you...guys sleep with me?" Y/n innocently asked while twiddling with her fingers. "Like a mini sleepover,"
Riddle immediately turned red at the thought of sleeping next to Y/n, looking conflicted and flustered. Isfrid glared at the redhead, perking an eyebrow up before sighing. "Of course," he nodded and rolled over to the other side of Grim who slept on the pillow.
"A-Alright..." Riddle says, smiling gently as he laid on the other side as she pulled the blanket over them.
"Mm...much better," Y/n says tiredly while closing her eyes. "Goodnight..." she immediately fell asleep as quick as 2 seconds.
"Goodnight, my Rose," Riddle kissed her cheek as he wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into a comforting embrace as he slept.
"Don't do anything fishy...you got that, human?" Isfrid snarled. Riddle nodded with a sweatdrop. Isfrid looked up at Grim above his head, glaring at the weasel who slept through the whole thing. 'Some guard you are,' he clicked his tongue.

Morning
"Good morning, my Rose," Riddle smiled at Y/n who had a blush on his face. Y/n opened her eyes to see Riddle's bare chest in her face, staring at a familiar mark at the center that appears whenever she's near.
"Hm..." Y/n trailed a finger over Riddle's chest. "You're surprisingly muscular..." she bluntly says.
"H-Hey!" Riddle yelped with a bright blush on his face.
"Myaaah! *flop* *flail* meeeooow!" Grim groaned in his sleep, rolling onto his his back while tossing and turning on the side Isfrid was, who was busy getting ready for the school day. "Myah myaaah..."
"It seems like someone's having a nightmare..." Y/n muttered as she sat up with Riddle wrapping his hands around her waist, placing his head on her shoulder.
"*snore* Myaaah...Thass whatchu get...fer crossin' Grim da Miiightyyy...*snore*" Grim slurred, talking his his sleep.
"He's even a jerk in his dreams," Y/n bluntly says, cringing as Riddle moaned into her shoulder, one of his hands a little too close to her boob.
"That's right! Cower before me, teapot tyrant!" Grim shouted in his sleep before he was flicked on his forehead by Y/n. "BWUH-MYAH?!...Huh? Where am I?" he woke up, sitting up from his bed as he looked around. Then he had a disappointed expression upon realizing that he was back in the minka. "Aw, man! I was dreaming that I was trouncing Riddle with my magic. You shoulda seen his face..."
"Grim..." Y/n sighed.
"I'm right here, you know," Riddle said, pouting at Grim.
"Mrah?! What are you doing here?!" Grim yelped furiously, pointing a paw at the redhead before looking at Y/n, jumping on her lap and patted her forehead harshly. "If you wanted to invite one of your mates over then tell them to sleep somewhere else! Your bed is my bed!" he huffed.
"You won't get that strong by snoozing all day," Y/n bluntly stated as Riddle sternly glared at the weasel.
"Hmph," Riddle huffed.
"Riddle, you should have back to Heartslabyul to get ready," Y/n reminded.
"Ah!" Riddle remembered, quickly getting off the bed and buttoned up his T-Shirt. "Right. See you later, my Rose," he says, giving Y/n a kiss on the lips and hugged her. "I love you. Stay safe, alright?"
"Mhm..." Y/n meekly nodded, not getting why he was so dangerous in her friends' eyes. "Here, let me teleport you. It's quicker," she offered.
"Alright," Riddle nodded. Y/n gently grabbed his hand and with a glow, she used only a bit of her magic to teleport Riddle back to his room in Heartslabyul.
As soon as he was gone, the girl sat up from her bed and grabbed her uniform. "Come on, Grim. We're running slightly behind schedule," she says, rushing over behind the room divider to change.
"All right, lemme just fix my bedhead. Then it's off to class! I've got magic to master!" Grim enthusiastically boosted.
**
It's been quite some time to get adjusted to...like being the only female in Night Raven College. An all-boys academy. It's quite special, but it is nowhere near the level of Northern Lights Academia...
Since I was chosen by the Mirror of Darkness, despite being a girl, the Headmage had no other choice but to allow me to attend, for I have some sort of purpose...or something like that. I don't really remember. But in exchange for letting a certain weasel attend, I have to share a seat with Grim since I refuse to use my magic anymore than I want too. But at least our grades are separate.

Classroom
"Zzzzz..." Y/n rested her head on her chin, staring at Grim who snored during Professor Trein's lesson.
"Turn your texts to page 80," Trein orders everyone.
Suddenly, a paper ball smacked Grim on his head, startling awake. "Fgyah," he yelped. The weasel turned around, immediately knew who the culprit was. "What's the big idea, Ace?!" he exclaimed, completely pissed from being woken up.
"Doze off again and Professor Trein's cat will come flying your way," Ace grinned mischievously, snickering as he had his face resting on his ungloved hand.
"Knock it off, guys..." Deuce muttered, eyeing Ace and Grim. Y/n looked unbothered, listening in on their conversation while following along the lesson, being a master multi-tasker.
"Can't say I blame you when class is THIS boring," Ace muttered with a yawn. "Man, I'm hungry..."
"He can hear you..." Deuce warned with a sweatdrop.
- Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade. Those two are my friends from Heartslabyul dorm, but not too long ago after the unbirthday party, we discovered that we were fated mates along with Trey Clover and Cater Diamond. All of them looked like they were about to faint when Isfrid told them the truth. -
"N/n, wake me up when class's over...Zzz..." Grim says before failing back to sleep. Unfortunately for him, Trein and Lucius noticed Grim going to sleep so the cat familiar leaped over to Grim's desk with magic, raising a paw and clawed the weasel's nose. "Ngha! Cut that out, you!"

Cafeteria
"Ugh. Professor Trein must have cast a sleepin' spell on me," Grim groaned tiredly as he walked in front of Y/n, who was, as usual, gaining unwarranted attention. "I fought to stay awake, but he was sooo boring!" he whined as the group walked inside the cafeteria.
"You, 'fought,' sure," Deuce says, crossing his arms while looking at Grim with a doubtful expression. "I heard you snoring five minutes in,"
"You should've just drank the tea I offered you," Y/n bluntly stated, slightly trailing off.
"No way!" Grim shook his head. "That tea smells weird!"
That remark formed a tick mark on Isfrid's cheek. "You little shit. You're the one who wanted to become a oh-so Great Magician! So do the work!"
"Grub time!" Ace brightly grinned. "What's on the menu today?" he wondered before widening his eyes in surprise upon seeing the large crowd. "Huh, wait? What's going on? Why's it so crowded in here?"
"It's a special day, a once-in-a-month occurrence!" The cafeteria ghost shouted. "Goods from the wildly popular bakery in that town at the base of the mountain are being served! Their stock sells out fast, so you'd better hurry!"
"Gimme three of those chocolate croissants made from Perma-Sugar!"
"Nice! I actually snagged an phoenix egg sandwich this month! These things are AMAZING!"
"Oh? Did your familiar deliver her eggs to the bakery?" Isfrid quietly asked, talking about their sister-in-law, their eldest brother's wife who is a phoenix spirit. Y/n nodded, much to his dismay.
"Big sister wanted me to give them out," Y/n informed, recalling a letter. "She insisted that it was for the mortals growth and mana stability, especially after what happened to Riddle..."
"Oh..." Isfrid pressed his lips, clenching his fists slightly. 'How dare they...They better cherish those egg sandwiches for they came straight from my big sister's vagi-'
"Phoenix egg sandwiches are now sold out! Only one deluxe ham and cheese left!" The cafeteria ghost announced, causing Grim's ears to perk up a bit as he drooled.
"Dude, everything looks so amazing," Ace says, looking at the food from the line as he grabbed Y/n's held, walking over to get a closer look. "I'm gonna see if I can grab somethin',"
"Wow, they really do seem popular," Deuce said in amazement. "Isfrid, Rabbit, Grim, what do you- huh?" he noticed that a certain weasel was gone.
"Where did that pathetic weasel go now?!" Isfrid exclaimed, gritting his teeth in irritation.
"Hey, outta my way, losers! That grilled cheese is mine!" Grim exclaimed, using magic to scuttle through the crowd, straight to the front.
"The ravenous beast has gotten loose..." Y/n dumbfounded says.
"He's got such a one-track mind when it comes to food..." Deuce sweatdropped with a deadpanned smile.
"*Sigh*" Ace facepalmed.
"How's that for a taste a my power?! Guess who scored the last deluxe grilled cheese sandwich? This guy. That's why they call me Grim the Great!" Grim laughed, victoriously standing on top of the counter above the angered students while holding onto the grilled cheese in the air. "Myahahahaha! I also snagged a bear claw AND a cronut!"
"Hey, no cutting in line!" A student shouted angrily.
"You've got guts to cut in front of your upperclassmen!" Another shouted.
"Time to learn you some manners!"
'So damn loud...'
