Welcome to the Villains' world. [ REWRITING ]

Episode - 1-19 Punishment Escalation!

~Heartslabyul Lounge~

Riddle clear his throat. "The Queen of Heart's rule 249: Flamingo caretakers are to don pink attire. It was supposed to be your turn to feed the flamingo today. Why aren't you wearing pink?" He said.

A guy with blonde and little brown on the top of his hair got scared. "I'm sorry, Housewarden. My pink clothes were in the laundry, please sir, not the collar." He beg him.

Riddle sigh annoyance. "This is your second rule violation. I cannot forgive a repeated offense. OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" He said. The collar appears around his neck as he didn't like it. "Write me a 5,000-word apology and weed the garden for one week, and I'll remove it." He said.

The guy with blonde hair and little brown on the top of his head tear up when it's around his neck. ".....but....." He said. Riddle sighed annoyed when he started at him.

"Do you think I enjoy having to do this?! You're the one who broke the rules! As much as I would like to, I cannot ignore these infractions. It's for your own sake. Understood? Trey? Cater? Remove him from the premises." He said. Carter and Trey agreed as they took him out immediately.

~with Abby and the others~

Abby eyes widened as she took a deep breath when she close her eyes. 'The black ink it's getting bigger, we need to find him quickly.' She thought. She opened her eyes as they made it to the library.

"Hello, Trey." Deuce said. Trey looked up at us. "You four!" He said surprise. Deuce stared at him. "We figured that if we waited at the library, you'd show up to return your tart cookbook eventually."

Ace nods his head. "We still got a problem with the way Housewarden Riddle is handling all of this." He said. Trey sigh agreeing with us.  "Yeah, I thought you might say that."

Abby clear her throat. "Trey, what do you know about riddle? Like, was riddle always strict or was he something else that made him strict?" She asked him. Ace but in. "We still got a problem with the way Housewarden Riddle is handling all of this." He said.

Abby looked at him. "Damn it, ace." She told him. Trey have a serious look. "What?! Who told you that?" He asked. Deuce looked at him. "A guy who called himself Chenya." He told him.

Trey sigh annoyed. "Chenya... Huh. That explains it." He said. Grim got in front of his face. "What I don't get is, aren't you older than Riddle? Why haven't ya told him off already?" He asked him.

Trey stares at him. "I do when I need to, I don't think the situation calls for it." He said. Ace looks at him. "Why not?" He asked. Trey took a deep breath. "These sorts of strict rules...They're what created Riddle." He said.

We all have confused faces. "Huh?" Deuce questioned. We all looked deuce than at Trey as took a deep breath in and out as he fixed his glasses and cleared his throat as well when he looked at us.

"His parents were famous magical healers. Everyone where we're from knew their names. His mom was especially talented, and she really wanted Riddle to live up to her legacy. So, from the moment Riddle woke up to when his head hit the pillow at the end of the night... Every aspect of his life was planned, down to the minute, by the education program she made for him." He explained to us.

Grim looks at him. "Sounds pretty lame." He said. Trey ignored him. "What he ate, what he wore, what soap he used, who his friends were — every last detail had been predetermined for him. And to please his parents, Riddle obediently completed every task they'd laid out for him. He mastered his signature spell by age ten, he's been the top student in all of his classes. I can't even imagine how hard he must have had it." He explained to us again.

Ace have a look like he felt bad for Riddle but didn't say anything. Abby looked at the ground as she from a fists with both her hands. "That sounds horrible.....Following every rules, not having any freedom to play and make your own decisions."

Trey knew she ment every words she said as he did nod his head. "Riddle sees the enforcement of strict rules as a service to his dorm members. In his eyes, being bound by rigid guidelines — by fear—is a fast-track to personal growth. Because that's how it worked for him. And on the flip side, he sees the violation of those rules as an inexcusable offense." He tolds us more about riddle.

Ace sigh. "I guess that makes sense, since rules made him who he is." He said. Trey looked at Ace. "Look, I totally get why you see Riddle as a tyrant, and why you disapprove of his methods. But for me.....I can't hold that against him, you know?"

Grim meow sadly. "So, that's why he's like that." Deuce said. Ace looked at us. ".....all right, now i get it. It's YOUR fault Riddle's like this." He said as he pointed to Trey. We all looked at him confused.

"Riddle didn't get to choose his parents. But you know what his parents did to him, and you know it was wrong, right?" He said. Trey nods his head. "I mean, yeah....." He said.

"Well, now Riddle's making the exact same mistake that his parents did. You're going easy on him because he had it rough as a kid? Don't you see where that's leading? You're letting him make a pariah out of himself!" He told him.

Trey have a serious look on his face as he is almost glaring at Ace. "Ace, man come on....." Deuce said to almost tell to be quiet already. Ace crossed his arms on his chest. "So why don't you say something? Are you just afraid you'll "lose your head" too? That's pathetic." He taunt Trey

Abby got in front of them. "Ace enough!" She said. Ace ignored her. "You guys are supposed to be childhood friends?! Then act like it." He said. When Crowley appeared. "You there! Be quiet! You are in a library!" He said.

Grim looking at him really. "You're yellin' louder 'n any of us, though!" He said. Crowley clears his throat and nods his head. "Oh! Yes, my apologies. But let us strive to maintain the library as a quiet place for reading." He apologized to us.

Abby looked at him a bit confused why he is here in the library. "What are you doing here, Headmaster?" She asked him. Crowley looked at her fully as he smiled and clear his throat as well.

"I'm researching methods to send you back home. Precisely as I promised I would. Oh, but I AM gracious! And the library is, of course, an ideal place for serious research. It's not as if I came here just to secure the newest book in that popular series of novels. No, certainly not." He told her.

He looked at us all confused and concerned as well. "Incidentally, what are you all discussing with such grim faces?" He asked us. Deuce sigh quietly. "Well, since you asked....." He said as he did tell him about what happened.
