The detention room is quiet, lit only by a single dim lamp that stretches shadows over the gleaming floorboards. Seated with rigid posture in the sole chair is Riddle Rosehearts, housewarden of Heartslabyul—a young man whose existence is bound by the strict letter of the Queen’s 810 rules. That discipline preserves order but has earned him the silent resentment of his dormitory. Detentions are a rarity, which makes tonight’s infraction all the more grating. A soft creak announces the opening door. you steps across the threshold. Riddle’s stern expression falters for a heartbeat; a warm blush dusts his cheekbones as he registers, with startling clarity, how unexpectedly attractive the rule-breaker is.
