Y/N POV

Several days later, after Riddle overblot and sees Natenal. I and Grim entered the Heartslabyul to the Unbirthday party.

"Our great leader! The Crimson Ruler! Announcing Dorm Head Riddle." A resident announced as Riddle walked into the party, as I put a box on our table.

"Dorm Head Riddle! Hip hip hooray." The other heartslabyul residents cheered.

"Hm. The roses are red, the tablecloths are white. A perfect Unbirthday Party. Inside the teapot, there is a sleeping... ah. Actually, it's fine without." Riddle spoke up as Trey walked beside him.

"You don't have to change everything right away. Instead of putting jam on the mouse's nose, try putting it on a scone. Change 'It's worthless without' to 'it would be nice to have right?" Trey reasoning Riddle.

"Yeah, you're right," Riddle agreed.

"Ugh. In the end, we had to handle getting the garden cleaned up and all the prep work." Ace commented. "And Y/n have to pay and buy for the things that are destroyed."

"Calm down. The Dorm Head being back after full recovery is the most important." Deuce replied to Ace's comment.

"Also paying for a few damaged things isn't that expensive." I smiled.

"Few!? Isn't that expensive!? Y/n the payment for the damage is over a million." Ace grabbed my arms. "And you called that few."

"Y-yes!" As she removed Ace's hands from her arms.

"Y/n is a crazy rich girl," Grim said.
[A/n: Suger Mommy 〜(￣▽￣〜)]

"The garden is looking super photogenic so I'm super satisfied." Cater pulled out his phone, "Y/n! I also want to thank you for what you have done? And I'm sorry too."

"It's alright! Let's just forget about our mistakes in the past and look for the future." I said.

"Thanks. You're an angel." Cater mumbles. "By the way, Y/n. Where are your familiars? I want to take a pic with them."

"Oh, they are resting inside my shadow... They used a lot of magic in the incident, and from helping to clean the dorm so they need some sleep." I replied.

"Yeah! I'm ready to eat all this food." Grim cheered, jumping up and down.

"Ok! Let's get to..." Cater was cut off by Riddle.

"Just a moment."

"What?"

"Those white roses..." Riddle pointed at the roses in white. As everyone turned around.

"We missed some!?" Ace shouted as jump back.

"Uh oh... Ace, Deuce, you said you painted them all" Cater turned to us, as we froze.

"This is our fault!?" Deuce exclaimed.

Trey and I looked and stuttered " R-Riddle, this...".

"Don't worry! I-I'll go paint them now." I said.

"...Kidding," Riddle spoke up, as I stopped and turned around. "I'm not going to punish you for one or two roses."

"Seriously!" I said, embarrassed.

"Hahaha! Y/n was about to paint them all." Grim laughed as I pinch Grim flaming ear and he let out a scream.

"R-really!? Riddle's so lenient!" Cater sighed.

"It'll go faster if we work together," Riddle said.

"You still want them painted!?" Ace asked Riddle.

"Don't worry. But really...yeah." Trey said.

"You have changed, Riddle." Trey and I said in unison.

"Grrrgh! I can't wait another second! Let's get this painting stuff over with and party." Grim escaped and jumped on the table.

"Then everyone, are you ready?" Riddle asked.

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

After painting the roses, we went to our table. "How did your apology tart come along?" Ace asked Riddle as we sat down on our chairs.

"I-I baked it, don't worry. This. I made this strawberry tart." Riddle put the tart on the table.

"Hmm...hmm... The shape needs a little work but you did well coating the strawberries in the nap page to bring out their shine. This is great work for your first time." Trey gave his compliment

"Ah, there it is. Trey's doubting attitude. Well, let's give it a try." Ace said and was about to cut it off when Cater grabbed the knife.

"I wanna take a pic of this ultra-rare tart so hold off on cutting it!" Cater took the pic, "...Okay."

"He never changes either... Let's dig in... Nom." As everyone took out their first bat except me, I only watched them eating their tart.

"...Hngh!?"

"This tart is..." Trey & Cater said in unison.

"Salty!" Everyone screamed as I tried to hold my laugh.

"What!?" Riddle shouted as he was also surprised.

"What the!? It's like eating the ocean. What the hell did you put in this?" Ace asked Riddle.

"I followed the rules strictly when getting supplies and during baking. There shouldn't be anything wron-...Ah!" Riddle soon realized something, "Is it perhaps because I added oyster sauce?"

Deuce keeps on coughing, "... Are you referring to Clover's joke about the walrus seal of approval?" he said as I handed him water.

"Trey used to say that all good tarts have it even if it's not in the recipe... As a secret ingredient..." Riddle said.

"Blegh, there's no way! If you think about it for a moment you'd realize." Ace said. Soon I cannot hold my laughter and finally let it out.

"Haha...haha... Hahaha! You fell for it." I said as I laughed. "I'm sorry, I... I just can't hold it in anymore. Hahaha."

"What!?" Ace turned to me and noticed I didn't eat mine. "You knew about this, and you didn't say anything."

"If I told you guys, then it won't be funny anymore." I said, 'Honestly, I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard.'

"But this goes beyond a secret ingredient. How much did you add?" Cater asked Riddle.

"N-no one will divulge their trade secrets, you know? So I couldn't precisely figure out how much to add..." Riddle explained.

"... Pfft, ahaha! I never thought there would be someone who took that joke seriously... Ahahahaha!" Trey started to laugh.

"Ah, ha, ha! I know, right." I chuckled.

"...Aha, ahaha, so true. I'm so silly... ahahahah!" Riddle joined in too.

"Haha, it's so bad it makes you laugh," Deuce said.

"Ahahahah! We just have to laugh it off. Haha." Ace added.

"But, now I think it's good in its own way," Grim said.

"I got you there. It's not as bad as you think." Cater said.

"Diamond, your palette is just as crazy as Grim's!" Deuce said.

"No, no, I wouldn't say that."

"This tart good because it isn't sweet?" Trey asked Cater.

"Eh!"

"Cater, you hate sweets."

"Is that true, Cater-senpai," I asked him.

"Eh, eh... Trey, how did you know?" Cater ask in shock. "I've never told anyone about my aversion to sweets."

"Whenever we eat cake you bring up my Doodle suit and change the flavor. You never show it in your face but I just had this feeling you don't like sweets." Trey explained.

"Ah... I've been found out? So embarrassing... Trey, like the stuff with Riddle... But your habit of 'I noticed but didn't say anything is not good." Cater pointed his finger at Trey.

"I'll cook up some quiche for the next Unbirthday Party," Trey said

"I appreciate that... Make it just as photogenic as cake, okay." Cater smiled.

"I knew that! Riddle tart will fail... so I make us a new tart." I grab my tart and put it on the table.

"Oh my! Y/n this looks delicious and beautiful too! Can I take a pic? " Cater said.

"Yes, you may," I replied, as Cater took the pic.

"Well then let's dig in." Ace said as everyone took their bait. The Heartslabyul residents turned silent, and not a word comes out of their mouths.

'Why aren't they talking? Is my tart, that bad too?..' I thought to myself.

"DELICIOUS!!?" Everyone cheered, as I flinched and almost fell off my chair.

"It's so good." Ace complimented as he kept on eating.

"Delicious!" Grim cheered.

"Isn't too sweet or salt, it's just the right balance." Cater comments.

"So delicious." Riddle mumbles.

"You did an amazing job, Y/n," Trey commented.

"Thank you," I said as I watched them eat and talk. 'I wonder! If things like this would stay forever.'

"Humm hmm hmm." Out of nowhere, I started to hear a humming sound behind me. "Trey's sweets are always purr-fect. Nom, munch munch. But Y/n's tart is amazing too." I turned around to the voice and it was Che' nya.

"Che'nya! What're you doing here!?" Riddle asked.

"Hm? I came to celebrate the Unbirthday Party. Congrats, Riddle." Che'nya replied.

"The Unbirthday Party is a Heartslabyul tradition. You don't have anything to do with it."

"Hehehe, neither do my little kitty and the guy, right? Hmhmhm..." Che'nya put his arms around my neck.

"Ah, you! You're the guy from before with the cat puns and Y/n weird friend. Oh yeah, what dorm are you from?" Grim said.

"Che'nya isn't even a student here, to begin with. He's from Night Raven College's long-standing rival, Royal Sword Academy." Riddle said

"What!? He goes to a different school!!?" Deuce asked as he shouted.

"Freaking Royal Sword Academy!?" Ace said

"Royal Sword Academy! I heard that from my knight, but I haven't been there yet." I said.

"Then, I'll take you there. If you are free, my little Y/n."

"Che'nya! Y/n, you both seem close. Have you both met before!?" Riddle and Trey asked.

"What is this!? Riddle and Trey hamew forget Y/n?"

"Forget!?" They asked themself.

"Little kitty here! Is that one, who we saw in Riddle's garden before? The little girl making the rose crown did yo~perr forget." Che'nya recalled their memories and when they remembered the duo screamed.

"AH!!! IT WAS YOU! YOU WERE THE LITTLE GIRL." They screamed as I covered my ears.

"Wha!? How could you forget your friend?" Ace asked angrily.

"Talking about friendship," Grim mumbled.

"That isn't so cool!" Deuce added.

"Guys! Calm down." I calming them down

"Ah!? I... I... How can I forget?" Trey put his hand on the head, "I'm so sorry... I didn't..."

"I'm sorry too!" Riddle said, without a second thought Trey and Riddle quickly hug me tight.

"We are truly sorry." Then let go, "We promise to never forget you."

"I said, it's okay. Plus, I'm not mad so please stop apologizing." I pat their head.

"Mew, mew! I'm glad you remember it now." Che'nya said.

"Che'nya, about the Royal Sword Academy! What is it like there?" I asked Che'nya, soon some of the heartslabyul heard me say 'Royal Sword Academy.

"Did she just say Royal Sword Academy?" The resident asked his friends.

"One of those stuck-up assholes is here." Another one said.

"What!? Where! We'll toss them out." Another one said.

"Oops. Maybe next, little kitty. I got my tart, so it's time for meow to go home." Che'nya disappeared as he was humming. "Hum hmm hmmm."

"Ah, he got away!" The heartslabyul yelled.

"After him." Another one said.

"What just happened?" I asked.

"Woah! They got murderous all of the sudden." Grim said.

"Students from Night Raven College have a high probability to turn hostile towards Royal Sword Academy," Riddle explained.

"After losing for 100 years, you can't blame them..." Trey added.

"No more gloomy talk! We're celebrating. Let's enjoy our Unbirthday party today." Cater changing the topic.

"Cater-senpai is right," I said.

"Nyaha! I'm gonna eat until I burst! Happy Unbirthday Party." Grim cheered.

"Yeah! I'll not let that happen." I told Grim as everyone laughed from behind.

"Y/n. I... I... I have something for you." Riddle gave a small red, black, and gold box.

"What is it?" I grabbed the box as I opened it and there was a red pendant inside, "Riddle! This is beautiful."

"So that's why?" Cater noticed, "I remember! Riddle asked me about a gift a few days ago. I realize this is what it is for?"

"But why are you giving this to me?" I asked as Riddle turned red as he looked away.

"I-It's an apology gift. I know, I said troublesome things towards you, so I buy this pendant as my apologies."

"Wow! I didn't know the dorm leader liked this kind of taste in jewelry." Deuce said as look at the pendant.

"Eh, eh! It looks expensive." Ace comments.

"S-Shut up!" Riddle shouted while his face colored as his hair. I removed the pendant from the box and put it on.

"Thank you, Riddle... I'll treasure it forever." I smiled, but my smile was broken when I heard HEUSC's voice.

"Failed!! Failed that mission!!" HEUSC said through my earing, "Lady! I have failed." HEUSC speaks, as I hold out my hand in it.

"What do you mean?" I said in a serious tongue.

"Mrs. Kikuko...have already arrived at Night Raven College. Before I could stop her." My eyes turned wide and I quickly stood up on my feet making my chair fall to the ground.

"This...can't be." I mumble.

"Hey! What's wrong with you? You scared the hell out of me." Grim exclaimed.

"Y/n" Deuce called me.

"Is there something wrong?" Riddle asked.

Trey looks into my eyes as they turn pale, "Y/n! Your eyes are turning pale. Are you feeling sick?" A few minutes later, a Heartslabyl resident comes up to us.

"Excuse me, dorm leader... two people are looking for Ms. Y/n Kambe." The resident said that two girls is standing behind him. I turned around to see Suzue and Kikuko.

"Suzue and grandma," I murmured.

"Lady Y/n!" Suzue pushed the resident to the side and ran towards me with a hug. "I finally found you...I thought I'll never see you."

"AH! What's with this girl?" Grim shouted.

"Okay, okay! Now, let go." I put her back, as she let go.

"Why is there another girl here?" Ace shouted.

"Excuse me! But who are you? My lady." Cater asked in a prince charming way.

"Oh, my apology! My name is Suzue Kambe." She bow down as everyone turned to me.

"Suzue is my relative." I said to everyone then, gazing back at Suzue, "By the way, why are you here?"

"We are here to bring you back home." The old lady entered the party, as the second I heard her voice. My vision moved to the ground.

"Who is this stupid old lady! How dare she speak like she is the boss here." Grim crossed his arms.

"Y/n, do you know her?" Deuce whispered.

"She is my grandma. Kikuko Kambe." I whispered back.

"Come on. We are going back to the mansion." Kikuko said, as she grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the party.

"HUH!!?" Everyone followed us out when we were almost leaving the Heartslabyul dorm. I suddenly felt someone grab my other arm. The moment I turned around to my other arm, it was Riddle.

"Stop! You can't force someone to just follow you, even if it is your granddaughter." Ace told Kikuko as she gave him a death stare.

"What do you know about Y/n?" Kikuko said with a cold tongue, "Nothing! That is it... you don't know anything about her. So stay away from her, you stupid NRC students."

"Do you expect that you know more about her?" Grim gritted his teeth as Deuce nodded his head.

"I'm doing what is best for her and her safety," Grandma yelled as grip my arm hard.

"Kikuko, stop your hurting Y/n," Suzue said, worried.

"Enough!" Riddle shouted as pulled me away from grandma, letting go of my arm from her. Then he wraps his other arm around his shoulder. "Do you have a second thought on what she really wants? Then, you make a decision for her. Mrs. Kambe!"

"What did you say? You brat." Kikuko clenched her hand.

"Y/n is a human being too, she has feelings, and emotions and can make her own decision without your help." Cater half-shout.

'.... What did he just call me?' I thought to myself, glazing at Cater.

"Riddle and Cater are right! Y/n isn't a toy, that needs someone to control her, on what she must do." Trey said.

"Why you little?" Grandma mumbled.

"Y/n!" Suzue walked up to me, "What is your plan? Do you want to stay or go home with us?"

"SUZUE!"

"My plan?" I look at Suzue to grandma and back at Suzue, "I... I want to stay."

"No, Y/n. You are coming home with us." Grandma shouted.

"Kikuko, that's enough! Didn't I tell you when Y/n wants to decide to stay, she will stay? Not you or anyone can't stop her from getting what she wants." A male walked toward us and It was big brother Daisuke.

"Daisuke, what are you doing here?" Grandma turned around.

"DAISUKE!?" Riddle, Trey, and Cater screamed as Ace and Deuce didn't what was going on.

"Why are you shouting? Who is he, senpai?" Deuce whispered as he ask.

"That is Daisuke, the crown prince of Andalasia. Grandson of king Shin and son of princess Sayuri." Cater explained.

"THE CROWN PRINCE OF ANDALASIA!!" Ace and Deuce scream in shock. Meanwhile, Suzue and I are surprised, that why is he here?

"I have a feeling that you won't accept what Y/n decision, so I come here to stop you, myself." Daisuke crossed his arms, "We are leaving and Y/n stay."

"If Narissa gets her hands on the moon magic, this will be all on you." Grandma walked past Daisuke, while Suzue hugged me one last time and then followed Kikuko. While Daisuke stares at Riddle like he is going to kill someone.

"Why is he staring at me like that?" Riddle whispered to everyone.

"Maybe because you are still holding Y/n?" Grim suggests.

"Ah, Right." Riddle let go of me, "S-Sorry." Before I knew it, Daisuke patted my head with a smile.

"I hope you enjoy in here, you also feel free to use HEUSC if you ever need help."

"Yes, thank you. Big brother." I said.

"BIG BROTHER!?" Everyone screamed again.

"Ah!? This is Daisuke Kambe, he is my older brother." I put my hand to the side, and Daisuke walked toward the boys.

"I'll leave my little sis in your hands... if anything bad happens to her. I murder each one of you along with this school. Do. You. Understand. Me." Daisuke scared them, everyone quickly nodded in fear.

"Big brother, stop. You're scaring them." I said, pulling his hand.

"Gomen!" Daisuke moved away and then hug me.

"Brother Daisuke... What should I do? Narissa and her people know, I am here." I whispered into his ear.

"Don't worry, I will take everything and if her people come here for you... I think, you already know what you going to do right. Even if I don't say it." Daisuke whispered.

"Of course." When Daisuke moved his hand to my right, he quickly noticed something isn't right.

The black-haired male grabbed my hand and walked a bit far from the others. In a short time, he removed my gloves, and the moment he saw my arms have turned black. Daisuke sighed, "Don't tell me you use the moon dragon?"

"No... maybe? I don't clearly know, okay. I can't control the power of the moon properly like you control the power of the sun. Daisuke onii-chan." I said.

"For seven sake, Y/n. Can't you do anything right?" Daisuke scolded, disappointment evident in his face.

"I am trying--" Before I could finish my sentence, Daisuke use his sun magic to heal my arms causing my arm to sting. As the healing came to an end, I exclaimed loudly, "Aw, that's hurt."

Daisuke put back my gloves, "If you don't want me to scold you then try to be extra careful." He said in a worried tone.

I gaze away and answered "Sure,"

Daisuke kissed my forehead before beginning to leave the school along with the two girls. I turned back to the Heartslabyul residents, who seems to be stayed frozen.

"Sorry about that, everyone." I chuckled, awkward.

"Wait! If Prince Daisuke is your brother and he is the crown prince of Andalasia--" Ace stopped by Deuce.

"--So, isn't that what makes you the princess of Andalaisa." Deuce finished.

"Yes, I was planning on keeping it a secret. But it seems I failed to do that one." I sighed.

"How is that possible? I mean, I thought you were born into a billionaire family. So how are you also a royalty?" Deuce inquired.

"Well, my mother was born in the royal family of Andalasia, while my father was born in a billionaire family," I explained followed by a light smile.

"Wow, you are both royalty and billionaire. What else we don't know about?" Ace asked, amazed. I just chuckled.

"Should we bow down to you and start calling your 'princess' next time." Cater teasing me.

"Wha!? No, no, no? Please don't do that. I already have enough people calling 'princess' every day in my hometown, and I don't want to hear it here as well." I said.

"Ahaha! He's just joking." Trey said. "Come! Let's go back to the party." As everyone started to walk back to the party. I pulled Riddle's sleeves, causing him to stop walking.

"Huh!? Is there something that matters, Y/n?" Riddle asked.

I gently shook my head, "I just want to thank you for a while ago. If you and the others didn't step in, my grandma would surely take me back." I lower my head, "Thank you."

"Ah, it's nothing!" Riddle waved his hands, "I'm the one, who should be thanking you." I raised my head, "When we were kids, you are the only friend that stood up to my mother. And cried for me, because you felt guilty for everything that happened. I'm sorry too, and thank you for being my friend." I stared into Riddle's eyes, then smile at him.

"Oi! Are you two done flirting?" Ace said while the others are facing us.

"W-we aren't flirting!! Stop making stupid things or else I'll take your head." Riddle shouts at Ace, with a light blush on his cheeks. Ace takes a step back.

"W-what?" Ace said.

I giggled for a bit, then grabbed Riddle on his shoulder and pulled him towards everyone. "Let's go, Riddle-san."

Riddle smiled back, "Yes," With that, we begin to stroll back to the Unbirthday party, while talking.

Three-person POV

A hyena sighed, "I'm jealous. Those Heartslabyul guys are having a party with a huge feast. Savanaclaw doesn't have any stomach-bursting traditions."

"Hmph... What's so fun about a party where all you do is eat cake and cookies under the afternoon sun? Disgusting. That aside, Ruggie, how is that coming...?" Leona asked.

"Leave it to me. Things are coming along smoothly. Shishishi!" Ruggie replied followed by a giggle

"While those guys waste their time away drinking tea we have our change. That stuck Malleus, too. Be prepared..." Leona said.
