Princess of Villainy

Heartslabyul's loyalty

Chernette had heard a voice within Riddle. It came from his heart. How he really felt of his mom's rules. 'Whenever I broke the rules, even those fun times were taken away from me.

That's why, I had to listen to every rule that Mother said. Because my Mother, who was known by everyone in town, will always be right. But, you know, Mama...I wonder why? For some reason, my heart feels so heavy...

I want to eat a lot of tarts even if it's only on my birthday.

I want to play outside a lot...

I want to make lots more friends.

Please tell me, Mama... What rule should I follow to make this sadness disappear...?'

'Riddle...' Chernette thought with a sad look.

"Riddle!!!" Riddle had heard Trey's voice, and he could tell it was truly concern for him.

It sounded genuine yet warm.

'!!??' As Riddle woke up he found himself in Chernette's arms. His face flared in embarrassment for a while before he looked at his surroundings.

"He's coming to." She said making the others sigh in relief.

"Whew! I totally panicked... I don't know what we'd have done if you didn't wake up...!" Cater said putting a hand over his heart.

Riddle looked around the garden, which was now a mess from his overblot episode. "(panting) What in the world... have I done...?"

"What a relief. You've gained consciousness again. Miss Duskstone was able to save you." Crowley smiled nodding at Celeste.

"You don't have to think about anything right now. You need to rest." Trey added kneeling to his friend's side.

"It's 'cause you spoil him like that that he throws tantrums when he gets scolded!

What he did was no joke, y'know? We almost died there." Ace reminded them.

"Indeed, it was no joke." Deuce agreed.

"Geez, you can't go wild just 'cause you need to release stress, yanno?" Grim stated, putting his two cents in.

"... I... I really wanted to eat that marron tart, too..." Riddle began to confess gaining everyone's attention.

"Eh?" While the boys were looking confused, Chernette just softly smiled, letting him continue.

" I like white roses, too. And pink flamingos are totally fine...And I prefer honey over sugar in tea. I actually like milk tea more than lemon tea... I wanted to talk with everyone after meals a lot, too..." The red-head said as his voice started to crack.

"Riddle...?" Trey said softly as Chernette noticed that Riddle wanted to turn to Trey and she let him as she saw him tearing up.

"And.........I've always... Always wanted to play with you more, Trey..." Riddle cracked before he started crying into Trey's chest as Trey enveloped him in a hug.

"No way... Riddle is crying..." Cater said, surprised.

'Of course he is. He's been holding in all that pain and resentment for so long.' Chernette thought.

"Hey! Don't think that I'll forgive you just because you're crying!" Ace said before Deuce hit him upside the head. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"You really should learn to read the atmosphere..." Deuce said frowning at Ace.

"I'm sorry, too. I always knew you were suffering but I kept quiet..." Trey said as he let Riddle let it all out. "That's why I'll say this now. Riddle, you were wrong. You should apologize to everyone here."
