For a moment, a heavy silence descended upon the Tea Garden as everyone stared at their dorm leader, expressions of shock and fear on their faces. A few Heartslabyul dorm members even trembled at his sudden outburst.

Poor Alice was so anxious she nearly collapsed from fright. She would've have fainted, but she then suddenly snapped out of her dizziness when she felt two strong hands grasp her own hand. She looked up and saw that Ace and Deuce were on both sides of her, clutching her hands.

Not too tightly, but rather firmly, that if someone were to grab her, it would be very difficult to pull her away from them. Both Kira and Ace then glared at Riddle. "Excuse you?!" Kira snapped. "Hang on a sec! Are you just pulling rules out of your butt by this point!" Ace angrily shouted at the Crimson Ruler.

Why couldn't he just accept the tart he made for him?! He had worked his heinie off to bake all those tarts and to see him just throw them away like garbage without hesitation had just upset him

Of course, he was furious with Riddle from the very beginning, and while him throwing away the well-made chestnut tarts was part of it, seeing Alice being so terrified because of him was the setting point.

"Yeah! I'll eat it if you're just gonna toss it!" Grim shouted, angry at Riddle for wasting food more than anything else. He was ready to pounce of him for that, but then Kira quickly grabbed his pitchfork-like tail and pulled him away. "Don't try anything fancy, tuna breath!" she strongly warned him.

Cater and Trey quickly ran over to them and stood in between the six teens and their dorm leader. "My deepest apologies, Dorm Leader. I was the one who said we should make a Mont Blanc." Trey said, quickly looking back to give Alice a sincere apologetic glance.

"Yeah! We didn't think there would be a rule for something like that." Cater added, aiding Trey in defending their juniors. "The fact that you made them isn't the problem! My issue is the fact that you brought them here!" Riddle shouted as he pointed an accusing finger at the ruined Mont Blanc tart before them.

Alice gripped her friends' hands, embracing their warmth and support. She stayed close to her beloved friends, finding comfort in their presence. She took in a breath to calm herself down and stared back to Riddle.
