Later at the back of the library....
"Ne, ne, Jade, did you see what I just see?" The young man bluish-green hair whispers to his twin, who has a longer, darker strand on his right and heterochromia eyes where his right eye is yellow, while his left eye is olive.
"Yes Floyd, it seems like Angelfish has been hiding a secret." His twin brother, Jade, said lightly tilting his head with an intriguing smile, who has the same hair color as his twin except his strand framing on his left side and his heterochromia eyes are mixed where his left eye is yellow, while his right eye is olive.
"Shall we ambush her?" Floyd asks curiously.
"Not just yet Floyd, first we need to gain evidence. Once we done that, then we'll inform Azul about this." He suggests with eyes gleam with mischief.
"Hehehe I can't wait! Just seeing Lionfish gets me excited! Aaah, I could feel the tension rising up now!" He cackles softly.
"Calm yourself Floyd, besides Azul has other plans to focus on and he'll definitely like this once we gain enough evidence. Once we're done, we'll have our chance to capture our little siren." Jade advises.
"Hai~." Floyd complies with a wide grin.
Afterwards they both chuckle softly with a menacing undertone underneath their mysterious and gentleman-like exterior.

Right after school ends, Glory and her friends head back to the Ramshackle Dorm when they all came across with an unexpected event...
"Eh? What this?" Deuce asks as he pulls off the paper that was stick to the door.
"Give me that." Ace snatches the paper from Deuce and widen his eyes when he realize it's a letter from Glory.
"Oi prefect, it's for you." Ace said as Glory grabs the letter and recognize that apple crest stamp from anywhere. It's from Pomefiore!
To: Gloriane Corbett
I wonder who could this be?
Glory thought as she grabs the door handle.
"Let's get inside." Glory told them and both of them nod. Once they went inside, Ace and Deuce were already in bed while Glory changed her outfit to her pjs and Grim fell asleep. Glory was sitting in her seat opening the letter and read it.
Dear Gloriane Corbett,
A glorious name from a glorious woman. Words can't describe how much I adore vous. The first time we met, my heart flutters. It's like I'd met a beautiful nymph roaming around the garden before my green eyes. People say that you're going to be the next Mother Gothel, but for me, I see you as the opposite. All I see is a magnifique femme with so much passion with photography, a beautiful smile, as well as pure beauty. Your enthralling raven hair, your alluring grey eyes, your luscious red lips, your blissful voice, your flush cheeks, your adorable laugh. I couldn't stop myself from thinking about you and when I witnessed you strutting through those halls with your new look and outfit like a striking goddess, I felt butterflies fluttering in my chest for the first time. It's strange though, I never felt so much admiration towards someone so mysterious...yet so beautiful. It bewitches me.
Is this some enchantment spell you cast me? Is this what it's like to have a Cupid's arrow shot through the heart? Because you got this hunter fallen for you. While we do little to none about each other, I wish we could meet again, but unfortunately, my duties as Pomefiore's vice leader prevents me from doing so. Oh Magnifique, ma petite cherie, you have caught the eyes of the Queen's royal huntsman. You have captivated me so, is all I have to say. The next time our eyes meet, I don't plan on letting you out of my sight. For I, Rook Hunt, am a huntman. A huntsman that will capture your heart, soul, and body.
Until we meet again, mon amour.
Love, Rook Hunt.
Glory felt her face heat up and blink her eyes twice after reading the love letter.
"Holy smokes...." Glory mutters as she fans herself to cool down. She puts the letter down and turns back to her fourth entry,
Dear mom and dad,
Today wasn't the best day. My friends and I got kicked out by Riddle because we all stood up against him, but...we don't regret it. Because he shouldn't waste food that was put so much effort on it. Though I do feel bad for him. From what I've learned, Riddle came from a strict family; mostly importantly his mother. I don't know about his mother that well, but from what Trey explained, she isn't the best parent out there. Like she believes knows best, but I don't agree with her parenting skills. But hopefully, we'll able to get through to him tomorrow and once we do that, collars off we go! Oh and btw, I showed Trey my healing magic. He looked surprised when I did that, but at least he's receptive and is rather calm about this. I'm glad that he took my word. More importantly, I hope tomorrow will be the last time will ever these collars and it hurts as hell. I can understand what people are going through these days at Heartslabyul dorm, but you worry because Team Glory shall tamed the Queen! Wish us luck!
Love your awesome daughter,
Gloriane Corbett.
Once she finishes her fourth entry, Glory closes her journal and places under her desk where she got up and went straight to bed.

"Mmm...another dream?" Glory mumbles as she slowly got up. Soon she widen her eyes to sees Alice standing before the Queen of Hearts.
I know this scene! This is where Alice faces the Queen of Hearts!!
Glory thought as she watches the scene that unfolds her.
"Your majesty indeed. Why you're not a Queen! You're just a pompous, bad-tempered tyrant!" Alice seethes. This shocks Glory as this takes her back to when Grim called Riddle a tyrant.
This is just like yesterday when Grim called him a tyrant!
She thought with her eyes widen while watching the scene.
"Fufufufu. What did you say?" The queen asks with a menacing tone. Suddenly the Cheshire Cat appears on top of her head.
"She said you're a pompous, bad-tempered tyrant!" He reminds her causing her to rise from her feet screaming with rage and points her heart shaped staff at Alice.
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!" She orders as the card soldiers charges after Alice.
"You heard what her majesty said! Off with her head!" One of the soldiers informs as they began charging Alice.
Afterwards, the dream ended and Glory was left speechless.
"Someone needs to stop the Queen...otherwise, he'll suffer consequences of his own actions..." Glory mutters, but soon a menacing giggle came.
"I like to see you try, little girl.~"
Soon, Glory furrows her brows and swifts her head to see the queen of hearts in Riddle's body standing before her.
"What you're doing isn't fair to everyone in your kingdom!!" Glory spat.
"I'm doing what's right for my wonderland." She sternly told her.
"What's right my ass!" Glory retorts and points her finger at the tyrant queen.
"What you're doing is tyranny! That's not how a real ruler should rule her kingdom!!!" She bellows. Unfazed, the queen of hearts formed crept a smug.
"You got some nerve talking back to your queen, little girl. You must be either a fool or brave to do something like that." She chastised, but her belittlement does not fazed the ravenette as she kept her fiery glare at the queen.
"You deemed as a fool, or brave, but in my case, I know what's wrong when I see it." She fires back.
"And I'm not going let a short tempered and unstable queen like you harm anyone at Heartslabyul tomorrow!" Glory bellows and that immediately ticked her off.
"OFF WITH YOUR HEAAAD!!!" She snapped as the soldiers rise from the black ooze and raise their spears at her.
"Seize her!!" She commanded as the soldiers battle cry their way to Glory and the ravenette quickly zooms through the room. While being chased by the twisted version of Riddle/Queen of Hearts, Glory darts her eyes left and right until she caught something from her eyes as the ravenette swoops to the right and opens the door where bright light shines on to her and everything went white.
————————
"Gah!" Glory let's out a gasp and darts her eyes to the ceiling where she finds herself in her room once more before she sighs again.
"That was one hell of a dream..." Glory mutters before opening her eyes again.
Well I better shut my eyes and get ready for tomorrow. Hopefully, Ace and Deuce will succeed and get their collars off of their necks...including mine....
She thought and closed her eyes, falling into slumber.
The next day later, Glory was getting herself dressed where she sports a maroon long sleeved shirt, blue jeans, and brown combat boots along with a black glove that she needs to hide her golden flower tattoo. Oh, and let's not forget her light grey eyeshadow and pink lipgloss. Afterwards, Glory starts packing her stuff in her backpack from her dagger to her books.
"Oh! You're already up." Grim chirps.
"Today is the day! Let's get going." Ace proclaims and Glory nods. Suddenly, Glory pause when her eyes glow black when she sees a vision of three drops of black ooze on Riddle's heart where it is at the verge of overbloting. Quickly, Glory shakes her head and reverts back to reality.
"Hm? Glory-san?" Deuce calls her out with a concern look. Glory blink for a moment before grinning.
"Oh! Right! Sorry, let's go!" She chirps as Glory and her friends left the dorm and head straight to Heartslabyul dorm.
————————
Meanwhile at the Rose maze, Glory is standing with Merlin and Grim.
"Jeez, I hope these guys know what they're doing..." Glory mutters while watching Deuce and Ace.
"Fear not, Sundrop. I'm sure your friends are going to do fine." Merlin reassures.
At least I hope so.
He thought hopefully.
"Yeah Glory, these guys are gonna kick that tyrant's ass!!" Grim exclaims making Glory smile a bit before turning back to her two friends.
"Hopefully they do...." Glory mumbles. However, this does not calm her down when everyone is whispering about her friends as well as keeping their distance away from Glory AGAIN.
"Hey, did you hear? There's some guy challenge Dorm Leader Rosehearts to a decisive match." He whispers.
"To 'that' dorm leader? I'll believe it when I see it. They'll lose their heads in five seconds." The other retorts.
"This is the first challenge since a Riddle became dorm leader. Let's go watch how it goes!" The third glees.
The muttering and whispering made her even nervous, but Merlin pats her shoulder and plant a kiss on her forehead using his mental healing technique.
"Have faith, Dear Sundrop. And remember what I told you yesterday, understood?" Merlin reminds as he winks at Glory as a reminder causing her face to turn red.
"Y-Yeah...." Glory stutters. This had Grim going 'hm' while spinning his head left to right in confusion.
"Glory, what does he mean by-"
"Don't worry about it Grim! Just focus what's happening right now!" Glory cuts him off with a flushed look.
"Heh?" Grim tilts his head confused.
"Ace and Deuce are fighting for the seat of dorm leader and challenging Riddle to a decisive match?!" Cater shrieks.
"Are you for real?" He asks in disbelief.
"I tried to stop them." Trey sighs pinching his forehead.
"They sure are reckless~ I hope it doesn't end up causing more trouble." Cater mutters.
"Yeah..." Trey mumbles.
Soon the match starts with Crowley standing in the middle of the battlefield.
"Shortly, the decisive match for the title of Heartslabyul Dorm Leader will begin. The challengers are Ace Trappola and Deuce Spade." Crowley announces extending his arm to both men. Then extends his other hand to Riddle.
"Defending his title is the current dorm leader, Riddle Rosehearts." He announces.
"In accordance with the rules of this decisive match please remove the magic sealing collar handicap." Crowley instructs as the collars from their necks disappears.
"Huuuh, that collar is finally off!" Ace sighs.
"Don't worry, you'll have it back soon enough. Savor the taste of freedom while you can." He smugly retorts.
"I couldn't believe my ears when I you wanted to challenge me. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" He asks in a very serious tone.
"Most definitely." Ace complies.
"I wouldn't challenge you as a joke." Deuce assures him.
"Hm. Whatever. Let us begin." Riddle said.
"Riddle, what do you want to do about afternoon tea?" Cater asks curiously.
"That's a silly question. The rules state that my teatime always happens at 4pm on the nose." He informs.
"But it's already past 3:30..." Cater points out.
"Do you think I'll ever be late? This ordeal will be over shortly." Riddle reassures him.
"As you can see, I am short on time. Dealing with you one at a time is troublesome. Both of you come at me at once." He declares.
"Fight on! Dorm leader! Put them in their place!" They all cheer making Glory grimace at their cheers.
These guys.....
Glory thought while glaring at the Heartslabyul students. One of them notice and flinch.
"Psst hey! Gothel's blood is glaring at us!" One whispers.
"Eep! Let's shut up!" The other whimpers as all men immediately scurry away keeping five feet away from Glory. The ravenette didn't even care if she gets called 'Gothel's blood' as she rolls her eyes and cross her arms. Afterwards, Glory turns back their brawl. Trey on the other hand, was shaking his head in disapproval.
"They sure know how to run their mouths." Deuce grumbles.
"Kaah! Now I'm mad!" Grim rants.
"We made sure to put a plan together!" Ace exclaims. Soon Riddle turns to see Merlin.
"You must be the new nurse at the infirmary." He said and he flashes a smile at him.
"Indeed I am, Rosehearts." He replies as he bows his head to him.
"It's an honor to meet you, Rosehearts." Merlin greets him politely.
"The pleasure is all mine." He sternly said as Riddle faces the headmaster.
"Headmaster, if you will." Riddle suggests.
"The match begins after the hand mirror I throw hits the ground and shatters. Get set...Ready..."
Crowley then smashes the mirror to the ground.
"FIGHT!" He declares with Glory looking on the brawl with worried yet hopeful eyes clasping her hands together tightly.
You guys better win this....
Glory ponders with her grey eyes gleam with hope as the battle between men begins....
