*Ciel's POV*
We finished painting the roses as we began to catch our breath, but this time it wasn't too bad like last time. I looked around to see that the other Cater clones were done with their selected area. I looked to see that Grim and Deuce were more tired out than we were though Cater is trying to hide his. Though at least this time, we were able to get the roses to the right color without any problems. Though, I wonder just how many more people got collared since yesterday.
"*Pant*... Well, this is going better than before." Deuce said while panting
"Looking good! Ooh, It's almost time! Okay, all you sexy body doubles, that's a wrap!" Cater said to his clones
"Aye-aye, Cay-Cay!" The clones said while I had a sweatdrop
"Did he really just...?" I trailed off as the others nods
Cater's clones vanished after Cater waved his magic pen at them, only leaving him as the sole Cater. He lead us to the tea garden, once there I couldn't help but look around in awe at what was all around us. It was something chaotic but elegant at the same time, it was a friendly feel but the aura wasn't the same. I saw that there were a couple of students having collars around their necks as they had fear in their eyes and fake smiles. Cater led us to our table as I had a sadden look at the sight of the collared students as I saw a student stand up.
"All hail our leader, the red sovereign himself... Housewarden Riddle!" The rabbit-eared student announce.
"We salute you, Housewarden Riddle!" The rest of the students said while being in fear.
'It looks like no one else wants to make him angry... But those rules are noting but nonsense...' I thought to myself as I looked at his outfit, it was very elegant and something a ruler would wear but I felt it wasn't giving off the right message.
"Hm. The garden roses are red, the tablecloths are white... This seems a proper unbirthday indeed. I s there a dormouse asleep in the teapot, as there should be?" Riddle asked as he was inspecting everything.
"Of course. And should it become necessary, we've also prepared the jam to spread on his nose." Trey informs Riddle
"Very good." Riddle said as he was very pleased.
"Myah! Those are some fancy duds!" Grim said in awe at the sight of the suits
"I didn't know that your dorm has uniforms like that." I said in awe
"These are Heartslabyul dorm clothes. Aren't they fierce? At the forefront of fashion, and they look great on Magicam." Cater said as he used his magic to wear the Heartslabyul uniforms.
"One of the Queen's rules mandates formal dress on party days. As a show of kindness from a beloved mentor, I'll help coordinate your outfits." Cater said as he used his magic to have our clothes change to the uniform.
"Whoa!" Deuce said in awe
"Lookin' sharp!" Ace stated
"Myah! So cool!" Grim said in awe
"You all look fantastic!" I said as I was looking at my clothes to see it was a mix between Riddle's uniform and the others' uniform.
'Why is my outfit like this...'
"Now, let's tear this party up! And don't forget to give Riddle the tart." Cater said
We all began to eat the food that was at our table as me and my friends talked about the funny moments at the sleepover. Grim kept complaining and told us to stop as he was embarrassed, which made us laugh. But then I felt someone looking at me, I looked to see it was Riddle, however he looked away. I believe that he was still mad at me and is making sure I'm not gonna try something. But why did he look away instead of glaring at me? Oh well, I looked back to the others to stop Grim and help him with his manner.
"Before we begin the croquet tournament, let us make a toast. Does everyone have their teacup? On this most significantly unauspicious of days, I bid all in the attendance... a very merry unbirthday!" Riddle announced as he raised his teacup
"To a very merry unbirthday!" All of us said as we raised our teacups before taking a sip, Cater tapped Ace on the shoulder.
"Ace, this is your chance!" Cater tells him as Ace got up from his seat.
"Right... Uh, housewarden, sir..." Ace called out to Riddle as he looks at him
"Ah, it's you. The tart thief." Riddle said coldy
"Yeah, so, I wanted to apologize for eating that tart. We made you a new tart to replace it." Ace explains
"Hmm? And what kind of tart is it?" Riddle asked
"I'm so glad you asked! It's a chestnut tart, and I swear, we weren't stingy with the chestnuts." Ace explains
"A CHESTNUT tart?!" Riddle cried out in anger
"What?!" Ace asked in confusion and shock
"The Queen of Hearts' rule 562: 'One must never bring a chestnut tart to an unbirthday tea party.' This is an utterly flagrant rule violation! Do you understand what you've done?! You've ruined an otherwise perfect unbirthday!" Riddle explained in anger
"Rule 562...?!" Deuce cried out in shock
"How many of these rules are there?!" I asked in shock as Riddle looks at me
"There are 810 rules in all, and housewarden, I can of course recite each and every one of them." Riddle stated as I looked in shock
"That's a lot of rules?! I get that they were made to rule over weirdos, but why so many!" I asked as I felt dizzy from processing the information.
"Wow, T-I-L... This could be bad. Trey were you aware of this?" Cater whispers to Trey in concern
"I was only able to memorize the first 350 or so. Well, we really botched this one. Big-time." Trey whispers as he had a sadden look on his face.
"As housewarden of a dorm established to honor the Queen of Hearts' rigor, I cannot ignore this. Destroy the offending tart immediately! Then throw these rulebreakers out of the dorm!" Riddle said angrily as I froze as what he said
"Excuse me?"
