"Huh!! Is he referring to me?" Felix asked the group.

"Well... You are the only one with black hair here... So." Epel said.

"Hmm... I apologize but I am not a suitor." Felix shouted with eyes closed. "For my heart belongs and only belongs to my princess." The boy's eyes widen and surprise.

"Oi, Felix!" Ace grabbed his arm. "This isn't part of the plan."

"I see. So, you are a servant then?" The ghost nodded and was about to turn his head away when...

"No, you're wrong." Those words shocked not only the ghost but also his team in shock.

"Huh!!?" Everyone gasps.

"I come here invited by your highness." Felix said, "With my Royal Highness."

"Huh!?" The group jumped back, mixed in confused and shocked. 

"Royal Highness?!" The ghost questioned then, remembering a charming man who arrived at the gates with an invitation letter. "There was a man who presented himself as a prince of the Andalasia kingdom, not long ago before you showed up. You must be with them. My apologies."

'Prince of Andalasia??? Lord Daisuke... is here??' Felix thought to himself, 'Did Lady Y/n call him? Though, why?'

"You..." Ace punched Felix's head down, "GET INVITED!!!"

"So, that's why are you so calm on the way here? Cheater." Epel said.

"That's not cool, y'know." Grim and Kai said.

"... You lot are completely different from these unprepared suitors from early." The ghost coopers them from the others.

"Then we've passed the inspection. Are you going to allow us in?" Riddle asked.

"However," The ghost interrupted, "There's the matter of your height..."

"Huh..." Riddle hummed.

"This is bad..." Felix and Grim mumbled.

"She's probably going to think you're too short..." The ghost told Riddle.

"..." Riddle stayed silent.

"Dorm Head, ta-take a deep breath!" Ace stuttered while trying to calm him down.

"... How..." Riddle said through gritting teeth.

"This guy just doesn't get how awesome you are, you know... Hah hah hah..."' Ace gave a nervous laugh.

"How dare... How dare you speak to me that way!!" Riddle shouted as his face turned bright red with rage and anger.

"And there she blows." Felix mumbled out.

[OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!]

Clank!

The red, gold, and black magic collar is now around the ghost neck and it has angered Riddle.

"What the!?" The Ghost yells.

"I call on fire! Burn this mannerless slob bot like my ire!!" Riddle said with anger in his voice. As Fire suddenly appeared and began to hit the ghost.

"Hot hot hotttttt!!!!" The Ghost screams while trying to avoid the flame he can. However, this soon disappeared.

"That was a truly skillful display of magic, Riddle." Rook said to Riddle.

"That guy, that guy..." Riddle trying to calm down. "On average men keep growing until they are eighteen! I've got a whole year left to get taller!" Riddle huffed.

"He totally looked that up.... Has it really been bothering him?" Ace mumbled out.

"It doesn't bother me at all! Judging someone only based on appearances, however, does!" Riddle told Ace.

"While I can't say I disagree... If you go around popping off spells..." Epel muttered out.

"Same here." Kai and Felix said in sync with their one hand raised.

"It doesn't bother me at all! Judging someone only based on appearances, however, does!" Riddle told Ace.

"While I can't say I disagree.. If you go around popping off spells..." Epel muttered.

Felix's senses something is coming in their direction, he turns to his right only to see that group ghosts were going at them. "Hey! Hate to interrupt your argument but we company is coming right at us."

"Just what is going on over here?" Another ghost asked as they went to the group.

"Crap, they really are coming for us now!" Epel yelped.

"You're the one responsible? Round up all these suspicious characters!" One of the ghosts told others. 

"Waaaah! Those ghosts are coming after us with magic, y'know!" Grim yells, and runs behind Felix's feet using him as a shield.

"There's no way I can do my proposal with a horse now..." Epel said, get off his white horse. "Things are getting dangerous, so head on back to the stables.""Neigh!" Later on the white horse left the group and went to their home.

"Not just the horse but all of Operation: Propose is poof, done for!" Ace shouted.

"I'm sorry, okay. We're running out of time and I got pissed off and panicked.." Riddle muttered out

"Dorm Head, you're the worst suitor of all!" Ace said to Riddle.

"Grr... All I did was..." Riddle was interrupted by Rook.

"You're fine, Roi De Roses." Rook said. "Even when your whole body seethes with rage like a hedgehog, you are beauté. Surely the ghost you just barbequed would join in a standing ovation."

"Not a chance." Ace groans.

"This really isn't the time to be bickering!!!!" Felix shouted at everyone. The white-haired boy covered his ear from a loud voice.

"So loud. He reminds me of someone in the dorm, but I didn't know his name was." Kai mumbled under his breath.

"The princess's wedding is just around the corner. We're not going to allow you to interfere!" The ghost told the students.

"Ah, whatever, screw it." Ace sighed, then threw his flowers at the side. "Let's just clobber these losers and break down the door!"

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

The group manage to be able to get past the ghost from the gates. Now, they are taking a break to catch their breath as they are standing in the Interior Hallway. 

Grim seat down as huffed heavily. "We managed to get past the gate but they're still hot on our heels...!" Epel said as he starting in every direction in where they are.

"Hey, don't slow down now! Before they get us, we gotta get to the cafeteria.." Ace told the group. All of a sudden, magic was about to be hit the group.

"Huh? Watch out!" Riddle said, quickly defended the others.

"... Dorm Head!" Ace yell.

"That was way too close... If not for Riddle, that ghost would've taken you out." Epel said.

"You impudent children!" the ghosts said to them,, clenching their teeth.

"Capture them before they can interfere with her highness's wedding!" The other ghosts ordered.

"That's hilarious coming from the ones who invaded our school in the first place." Riddle said.

"Th-That little red head has got a terrifying aura about him!" The ghosts whispered; stutteredly.

"Don't back down! Show this pipsqueak how scary ghosts can be!" The other ghost said. As more and more ghosts approached, few began to  surround Riddle.

"Oh no, the ghosts have Riddle surrounded!" Epel shouted, took a step backward.

"Don't worry about me!" Riddle let out as he knocked down a couple of ghosts. "Tll keep them busy here. You all go on ahead and continue the mission."

"But that's a lot of ghosts for one person...." Epel mumbled.

"This only happened because of my outburst, so I'll take responsibility." Riddle said he then launched fire magic to the ghosts. "Besides, just who do you think I am?" Riddle gave them a smirk.

"... Yup yup. My dorm head totally got this under control." Ace said.

"But..."' Epel was unsure.

"Let's get going." Felix said, grabbing the back of Epel's collar and pulled him to move. "Riddle is one of the dorm heads in school, he can fight this battle on his own." Epel nodded, Felix eyes turned to Riddle. "Keep up with us, when you're done."

"Yes." Riddle said. "... I'll meet up with you later."

•◈──────◈✧✦✧◈──────◈•

"Ooh, how long I've dreamed of seeing this wedding aisle..." Princess Eliza said, "At long I'll be married to my ideal prince!"

" "Idia tried to escape," "But I was paralyzed on the floor and couldn't move an inch!"" Idia shouted. "... We need a healer to come save us! Someone with a skill to clear debuffs!"
