His blood boils at the sight of students breaking Queen of Hearts Rule 186. If it were his students, it will already be off their heads! But they're not his students. Still, Riddle grits his teeth.

Damn them all. No one is ever disciplined or courteous in this school... except you. Riddle noticed how—at least in his presence—you remember and follow the rules. Honestly, he is more than grateful, because it's not difficult to remember all 810 rules and follow them accordingly. You're definitely the role model Riddle seeks for his students—the ideal card solider.

You must be protected at all costs. Riddle has to mold you to perfection, which is why you noticed him fussing over you more than the others. To say it's uneasy is an understatement.

"Halt!" You froze at Riddle's voice. You braced for a reprimand but instead, Riddle came closer to fix your tie. He hummed in satisfaction. "A uniform must be worn properly, especially on someone as well-mannered as you."

His gaze lingered on you a little too long for comfort. You can't help but wonder if you'll lose your head and have Riddle's collar on you the moment you'd disobey from being his.
