Can you imagine if Riddle is like, the only one who actually insists on following ALL of the Queen of Heart's rules in twst?
Like, she is still part of the Great Seven, so people definetely respect and worship her. But, since Riddle is considered a tyrant, it's safe to say most inhabitants from the Queendom only follow like, the basics.
And, since you don't see the royals caring too much as well, the royal family probably only enforces a few of the rules, or it's pretty lenient. Otherwise we would see Jamil trying to get Kalim to memorise the rulebook, lest he makes a fool of himself and causes a diplomatic incident.
Although it would be pretty funny if everybody just learned the rules by osmosis during their stay at NRC. Next thing you know an adult Malleus is correcting a politician about the specifics of rule #278 when it's clear the guy was trying to trick Briar Valley into making an unfair agreement. Leona is laughing.
We need an event with a corrupt Queendom official trying to create his own rules to mess with people because "nobody cares, they won't even know that I'm making stuff up!"
Except they know. Riddle is having a crisis in the background whenever the official says something wrong. It's funny.
Official: So due to rule #345, "Always give away what is on your way", the Draconias must relinquish a portion of their land to the Queendom!
Riddle being held back by the dormheads: *Icomprehensible Screeching*
Malleus: Yeah, no.
Kalim: Isn't rule #345 about feeding the hedgehogs before midnight? Did the guy get that wrong?
Alternatively
Official: *Invents a rule*
Riddle: WHY THE FUCK YOU LYING!?!??!
#counterpoint is the royals actually know the rules#and that's why riddle never has trouble with malleus leona and kalim#meanwhile lillia is going through every agreement Briar Valley ever made with the Queendom of Roses#just to check if anybody tried to trick the kingdom via bending the rules#the corrupt official incident sparked an interest in the actual rules though#now people gather around and play#“is this goverment official filliwing THE RULES (tm)”#twst#riddle rosehearts#kalim al asim#jamil viper#malleus draconia#leona kingscholar
