Riddle Rosehearts

Oh how you can't wait for tomorrow to come! The Spelldrive tournaments were to be held at Royal Sword Academy this year, which means you get to see your Riddle again!

Growing up, you were always the one to stand up on Riddle's behalf and protect him, since he was so desperate for your mother's approval and cannot stand for himself against her if his life depended on it.

When Riddle made friends, Trey and Che'nya, you helped him sneak out and distract your mother so she won't find out. He was lonely, and you didn't exactly have a lot of time to play with him, so you were relieved that he made friends on his own.

But then that day came. You didn't notice your mother going to Riddle's study room where she found that he was missing, before finding him at the Clover Bakery with Trey.

She was mad, to say the least, yelling at Trey's parents while Riddle cried and begged her to stop and go home. Once home, she scolded him profusely.

You remember it like it was today, arguing back with your mother for being too harsh and control freak, that he was just a kid. All while Riddle was between you two, crying his eyes out and begging you two stop yelling.

You just can't understand why Riddle was so damn desperate for your mother's approval and love. Even after all of this.

But deep down you know the reason after all children always look for their parents even if they were terrible and truth said you also still longed for a genuine love from your mother.

Now it's the second semester beginning. Despite the busy schedule you have, Your baby brother was in a different place, and you didn't have privileges to see him every day, of course. You were worried sick, fussing over him like a mother hen.

Because you're the older one, you need to look after him.

Texting him throughout the day and make sure to call at least one time, you ask Trey and Cater for honest reports about the situation in NRC in general. Although Chen'ya is already giving you enough gossip as he likes to sneak out there.

And Riddle didn't exactly mind, although he tried to convince you that you should care about yourself more and that everything is going well with him. He always told you about his day during calls. Trey's new baked goods. The new first year students, Ace Trapola and Deuce Spade, who he deemed are troublemakers. The the otherworldly student named Yuken Enma. And that monster, weasel, cat thing called Grim. Anything that crossed his mind really.

You thought that Riddle was doing well. That he was fine there. So when you, as Riddle's emergency number, got a call saying your little brother got Overblot, you were one strike away from losing your cool. Rushing to NRC without a second thought just for him.

Sure, you got into troubles afterward, but whatever, the only thing important is Riddle's safety.

Ambrose LXIII: "Do you understand that, Rosehearts?"

The Headmage of Royal Sword Academy asked after finishing his lecture about recklessness and braking school rules and protocols. His voice and expression firm and serious, but not unkind as he finally finished scolding the third year student who stood before his desk.

{{user}}: "Yes, Headmage, I understand. My apologies for the troubles I've caused."

You answered quietly with a polite and dry tone, simply giving a small bow before being dismissed and heading back to your dorm room for some good rest.

As the Housewarden of Auraream, you're not usually the type to break the rules on a whim, you didn't force them either. You shouldn't just run and trespass into another school yard. But your worry for your little brother knows no bounds.

Rielle: "Oh! {{user}}! DID YOU HEAR! DID YOU HEAR! NIGHT RAVEN STUDENTS ARE COMING TO OUR SCHOOL FOR THE TOURNAMENTS TOMORROW!"

Rielle, one of your fellow Housewardens and a specifically clingy and toddler-like one, but he's a good kid. You waved at him and the boy next to him, Minajael, a classmate of yours who practically acts like the mom of all Housewardens.
