Y/N POV

We walked towards the dorm when suddenly I felt like someone was watching. So I turn around to see, nothing but trees then turn back to the others.

"Guys! You go on ahead. I have to check on something here." I told them as they nodded and went inside. I sighed, "How long are you going to hide from us?" A student pops off, as he floats in the air up-side-down. "Lilia Vanrouge."

"Kukuku! Let's turn that ask around, how long did you know I was watching?" Lilia asked me.

"Since I and the other arrived at the dorm," I replied, as I crossed my arms. "Now, what do you want from me?"

"Fufu! Now, now! Don't be like that, I just came by to give you this. " Lilia gave me a card, "It's a gift card a symbol of a new friendship"

"Thank you, Lilia-senpai" I look at the card.

"Kufufu! You are surely an interesting girl, just I can't believe you are a descendant from that black witch..." When Lilia mentions the black witch, I shorty gaze at him. 

"H-how did you?" I questioned. The flowing boy pat my head and chuckle a bit.

"It's alright! I won't tell anyone if you don't want too. Your secret is safe with me." 

"Why!? Why are you acting so kind, Vanrouge?" I swing my arm from his, letting him stop patting me. "I know, you hated the Wolford family for as long as you can remember. Although there is one of them in front of you right now, yet you still act being kind, friendly and nice. Why is that?"

Lilia stare at me with wide open, then close them. "I don't hate your family, and never have been. From what you heard or read, they aren't real in according with what they say... however there's one person, I despise the most." Lilia opened his eyes, as dark red eyes glow. "And that person is Narissa."

'What exactly Narissa be like before?' I thought to myself. Lilia glowing eye went back to his normal, and smiled.

"Sorry for sneaking out of you. I will be taking my leave now. Goodnight beastie." Lilia vanished away, and I was about to walk inside. All of a sudden Ace, Grim and Deuce come running towards me.

"Y/N?" They yelled.

"!!?"

"Y/n! T-t-there are monster i-i-inside your dorm." Deuce said in fear.

"H-his r-right!" Ace and Grim agreed.

As I tilted my head to the side, while looking at them confusedly. "Monster? Is this like in the mine?"

"No." They said sync.

"This one look different." Grim said.

I sigh tiredly and walk towards the inside of the dorm, seeing four of my shadow arms standing in the living room.

"There! See." Ace pointed at the shadow army,

"There are four monsters," Deuce said, looking like he was about to pass out at any moment.

"Guys, please relax," I said.

"HUH! How can you be so calm? When there are four huge monsters in front of us." Ace shakes my shoulder. (The height of the shadow army inside the dorm is 194 cm.)

The four shadow army walk two steps and kneel one down, "Welcome back, my Lady." They said.

"Huh!?" The boys scream.

"These are my shadow army, I asked them to clean the dorm. Well we are out?" I said.

"Shadow Army." They said in unison, as I nodded.

"Are you here! To report." I asked the shadow armies, as they nodded.

"I cleaned up all the rooms inside the dorm." First shadow army.

"I cleaned up the kitchen." Second Shadow army.

"I wash all the pillows and blankets." Third shadow army.

"And I clean the living room." Fourth shadow army.

"Great job! Everyone for your hard work." They bowed as they went under my shadow. I turned to the boy who seems to be frozen and shocked.

"What?" I asked, later on my three familiar joined us in the living room while in their normal form.

"What happened to them?" Felix asked me.

"I have no idea?" I whispered to them.

"Y/N! What was that? And why do they call you 'My Lady?" Ace grabs my shoulder again.

"That was my... Unique magic?" I look away.

"Your unique magic."

"Yes! My unique magic is Shadow Monarch. I summon shadow soldiers or beasts that have already passed away. Anyways, what do you do in a sleepover?" I let go from Ace grab.

"Huh!? Y/n, you never had a sleepover before?" Deuce asked as I shook my head.

"My grandma won't allow me to leave the mansion, or go to any sleepovers without her permission," I replied.

"Then let make this sleepover be fun." Ace shouted.

We all went to rooms first to change our clothes then went back downstairs. Where Olivia has already fallen asleep, as we are down on the ground. Ace pulled out a card behind him.

"Alright! Who's ready to play cards?"

"I don't see why not?" I said and sat down. Deuce and Felix are on my left and Ace and Celestia are on my right.

"Y/n!...Seriously," Ace looked down, holding his cards right. Blow up, "How can you be so good at this?"

"Hehehe!" We play 10 rounds, me and Deuce are the only one who keeps on winning?

"AHA! How many times have I tried to win? The two of you keep on winning this game." Ace whined

"So true!" Grim yelled.

"Y/n! Can you tell us about your parents?" Deuce asked.

"I don't like telling about my past life!" I replied. "But I will try. Just not all the details, okay." I pat Celestia, "You guys know my family are rich and powerful. But... basically, my mother is dead, she was killed by a man when I was at the age of seven. And as for my father, he left me and my older brother two years after her death." I said and the room filled with silence. As they looked at me shocked and worried, soon Deuce spoke up.

"I-I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have asked that." Deuce apology.

"No! It's okay. I even thought she wasn't with me right now. I can still feel her warm hug on my shoulders."

"How about let's change the topic?" Ace said, hitting Deuce's head, "How do you meet those three?" Pointed at Celestia, Felix, and Olivia.

"Well... I met Celestia and Felix when I was four? My family and I went camping in the forest when I saw two baby wolves injured and bleeding to death. So I took them in and took care of them until. They get back on their feet," I explain.

"It took us a several days to accept, Lady Y/n. To be our master, but now we decided to look over her at the end of time." Celestia added.

"If she weren't there to help us, then we would have already died by now," Felix said.

"How about Olivia?" Grim asked.

"As for Olivia! She was a gift from my mother on my six birthday, when Olivia still inside the egg." I replied.

"That mean, you raise her when she was a baby owl." Ace placed his index finger on his chin.

"Yes, and I was around ten and a half. Olivia was born to a warm, and gentle owl. I remember, the moment when Celestia, Felix and Lucas first saw her. They thought she was an enemy and almost killed Olivia."

"Aaah! Celestia and Felix did what?" Ace and Deuce shouted.

"Yep!" Felix said.

"We were overprotective of Miss. Y/n." Celestia's sweat dropped.

"I see! But who is Lucas?" Deuce titled his head.

"Lucas is my third familiar." I answered.

"What animal is he?... I guess, from the name he might be a snake or another bird." Ace guesses.

"Nope!"

"A lion?" Grim guess.

"No!"

"A cat? Like Grim." Deuce comparing Lucas to Grim.

"Yeah!" Grim yelled.

"Wrong again! You might meet him, he will come here the day after the Unbirthday party." I said then stood, "It's pretty late! We should head to our rooms." We walked to our rooms and went to sleep.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

Once I opened my eyes, I saw the same garden. The same as last night, "...Another dream?" I looked around my surroundings and saw the little girl again bowing down on the ground with the Queen of Heart holding a tree in her hands. Along with two clovers, the three of clovers, and Ace of Club.

"You went and sullied my roses! Prepare yourself" The Queen of Heart said, the card of clover sat beside the girl.

"I beg your forgiveness, your Highness. It's their fault." The three of clubs.

"I wasn't me. I was Ace." The two clovers pointed at the Ace of the club.

"Was it you?" The Queen of Heart asked as she took a step.

"No, it was Two." Ace of clubs replied.

"Two's doing?" The Queen of Heart asked and took another step.

"No, it was Three!"

"ENOUGH! Off with all their heads." The Queen of Heart shouted angrily. As the other dragged all the cards away from the Queen, then I noticed the little girl wasn't dragged along with the others. "hmmm hmmm." The queen mumbles.

"Of course, you lose your head for using the wrong color." The two diamonds said.

"I can't believe anyone would mix up red and white." The three of Spades said.

I closed my eyes and opened them again so that I'm back in my room. "You don't need to take someone's head over rose colors."

"HAHAHAHA! So foolish" A female voice laughing inside the room. I look around, nobody is there. Except me, Grim, Celestia, Felix, and Olivia in the room.

"Who's there? Show yourself." I shouted through the room, ended up waking Celestia and Grim.

"??"

"Miss. Y/n, something is wrong," Celestia asked as she got up.

"Ah! Sorry, did I wake you up?" I turned to Celestia, then when I was about to change my clothes  the door suddenly open. I quickly hide both of my hand inside a black gloves.

"Y/n, wake up," Deuce said as entered. Nonetheless, Celestia grabs a pillow and throws it at Deuce's face.

"Do you not know how to knock boy?" Celestia yelled at Deuce. Deuce took a second to release then, there's blush on his face, and quickly left the room.

"I-I-I-I'm sorry!" Deuce said behind the room, "Today is the Unbirthday Party. It's off with our heads if we're late."

"Oh yeah! Today's the day." I mumble as I change my clothes.

"Hm? Sounds like someone's here. I'll wait for you downstairs." Deuce walked downstairs and ahead to the front door. I finished changing clothes.

"It seems Felix and Olivia are still asleep," I mumble, I use my shadow magic to bring Felix and Olivia inside my shadow so they can sleep more. "Celestia! Grim, let's go."

As we walked downstairs, Cater entered the living room. "G'morning! Did you enjoy your sleepover? Was it an evening of pillow fights and card games?"

"Yawn... Good morning, Cater. yeah, we played cards." Ace said half awake. "Grim didn't know the rules so we just played Old Maid."

"Crap! I couldn't win at all." Grim complained.

"You have no poker face when you pull the Joker," Deuce said with a smile.

"So true!" I agreed.

"Hehe, Let's go get the tart you made yesterday and apologize to Riddle. There was some trouble yesterday so I'm low on manpower, and I need you to come now." Cater said.

"Manpower?" Ace asked.

"What did he mean 'some trouble yesterday?" Celestia whispered in my ear as she sat on my shoulder.

"I'm not sure! But... I have a bad feeling that something won't go as we plan." I whispered back.

"Ahem! Talking to myself... Hehe...Well then, let's get going to the Unbirthday Party." Cater said. We soon started to walk outside and head to Heartslabyul dorm.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

"I'm gonna get the tart to the dorm leader and apologize..." Ace said to us, then someone jumped in.

"Yo! You're here. I've been waiting for me." Cater said but this one is wearing a PE uniform.

'Another Cater??' I thought to myself.

"I'm back. Sorry for the wait, me" The Cater wearing the uniform wave.

"Ah!?" Everyone yelled.

"There are two Diamonds!?" Deuce shocked.

"You have a twin!?" Ace asked, as Celestia jumps down from my shoulder.

"Nope, I'm the only brother." Cater said as I backed away from the two Cater, "This is my unique magic, 'Split Card.' I can use magic to make clones of myself." Cater explained.

"Ugh, so this is why we couldn't beat no matter how many times we took you down..." Deuce sighs, as I move back.

'As I look at it! From a distance, there's no difference between them.' I thought to myself. While I was moving backward, I suddenly felt like I hit someone. Turned around and it was another Cater, "Huh!?"

"Welcome back~" Cater in a lab coat.

"Welcome, Y/n!" Cater wearing the ceremony clothes.

"I've had it rough! You guys are so late." The Cater wearing PE uniform said.

'There's four Cater' I thought to myself.

"What?! There's more." Ace shouted.

"By the way, I'm the real Cater." The PE uniform Cater said. "The more copies I make the harder it gets and I can't keep it up for a long time. Anyway, it's off with us if we're late. I don't have enough hands so lend me yours. I'll take you right to Riddle once we're done."

"More painting roses red?" Grim groaned.

"You're really full of yourself." Ace commented.

"Now now, don't be rub to your senior classmate Ace and Grim." I said as tighten my hair up. "We are love to help you painting the rose, Cater-senpai."

"Thank you, Y/n." Cater gave a bright smile.

"Ah!? You are just lucky that, N/n is kind and happy to land you a hand." Ace placed both of his arms behind his neck.

"Ace!" I gave him a sickening sweet smile, anger visible in my features. "Damatte kudasai."

"Huh!?" Ace flinched then look away, "What language did she speak?" He mumbled.
