I grabbed the handle of the door and opened it with all I had. I just wanted to fall into my bed after an exhausting day.

"Huh?" , I heard a voice inside of my room.

I looked at the person standing inside of my bedroom and yet again , it was none other than Kayla herself.

Rummaging through my stuff again.

"What are you doing here?" , I asked the girl who has been suspiciously standing in my room for not the first time. But already the second time.

The first time I thought that it was suspicious that she's in my room but I just brushed it off as if it was nothing , but she's doing it again.

Kayla was never suspicious of her brother in the story , she was like a goddess. She never wanted anyone to be in pain and just generally never wished suffering upon anyone. Even the most vicious and evil people to ever exist. She was just way too kind. 

And to some degree her kindness made her foolish. 

But now she's walking around my room looking for something? What the hell is going on here.

"Kayla." , I started.

I looked at the girl in front of me and I saw her flinch when I called her name.

"Is she scared of me?" ,I said to myself inside of my head.

"What are you doing in here? I ignored it when you were here for the first time but it's already the second time. Why are you looking through my stuff. This is my room." , I might have sounded a bit harsh but it was just weird. What was she doing in my room and why? She couldn't possibly be plotting against me. There's just no way.

I looked down at her and saw her near the place where I previously put the summary of the manhwa. It was locked with a key so she couldn't access it but she was trying to open it. I could see that she tried to.

"I uhm...you see..I...uh." , she kept stuttering and couldn't make out a sentence. She was extremely nervous and was avoiding eye contact.

Now that I think about it.

Kayla has been acting suspiciously since the begginning , ever since I transmigated into this world. Not only did she manage to take away my inheritance but also has been walking around my room at random times and searching for something.

I don't know what she's searching for , but definitely something that she could use against me.

"What the hell is going on?" , I thought to myself. 

Everything has been weird , barely anything is going like in the original plot and everything just feels upside down.

Why the hell would I need to know the original story if everything was just going to be like this anyways.

"Care to explain?" , I asked her once again.

I liked the heroine of the story ,it was no lie. I just thought that that she made some foolish decisions in the manhwa while I was reading the story but outside of that she was a very beautiful and cheerful character that you just couldn't really bring yourself to hate because there was just simply no reason to.

I knew that my words came off as harsh but I don't like it when people come into my private space.

"I well..uh...I got lost--"

"You got lost? Again , for the second time? Kayla..You've lived here your entire life , there's no way you don't know where my room is." , I cut her off.

I came off as a bit aggressive , which might not have been the best thing. But I didn't want to associate myself with her , being around her will only bring me bad luck. Since she will get together with the crown prince and then he can possibly kill me if I ever even make the slightest mistake around her. Same goes for the future duke , they're both extremely over protective of her.

"Well...you see...I'm not lying when I say I got lost , I haven't been in this part of the mansion for a long time so I was searching for the bathroom. I swear ! I was about to go out!" , she said with a scared expression on her face. 

It was an obvious lie , but she seemed as if she was praying right now that I would buy that lie of hers. For not the first time , but the second time.

"Then couldn't you just have left immediately after realizing that it was my room?" , I sighed and put my hand on my forehead as I said that. It was just a tiring day overall.

" I was about to do that , really....I just got a bit curious , since I haven't been in your room since ages." , said the heroine.

After getting a better look at her I realized just how beautifully she has shone , her white hair  matched together with her aquamarine eyes. They looked like jewels.

But Jesse wasn't unattractive next to her either , he was quite the pretty fellow himself I must say. They definitely look like twins , their facial features are very similar to each other and even though they might not exactly look the same and they have different shades of blue in their eyes , they still look similar.

"Really now?..." , I sighed once again. But this time around , it was more like a tired groan.

"Kayla...Could you please promise me that you won't be walking around the room without my permission again? If you want to hang around here , then you can just ask me and I'll allow you. But just walking here unannounced seems extremely suspicious." , I said what was on my mind.

Kayla looked surprised , more like shocked. She looked as if that was the last thing she expected to come out of my mouth.

"Yeah..R-Right.." , the girl scratched the back of her head while suddenly looking at the ground again. Just a minute ago , she finally made eye contact with me , but now she was looking at the floor again.

"Then I'm going to take my leave. Sorry for disturbing your peace."

"Oh uh , sure , no problem. Just ask me next time." , while I said the last part I was actually hoping that there would be no 'next time'. 

As much as I used to think that reincarnating inside of the novel or a manga would be extremely exciting and I could finally  be able to hang out with my favorite characters , I actually came to the realization that it's nothing like that.

I thought it was going to be all sparkles and giggles. But it's none of the above.

Kayla finally walked out of my room and closed the door shut behind herself. It was just me in the room now , nobody else was here.

"Is this what the 9th circle of hell feels like?" , I said to myself as I started untying the laces of my shirt.

Another tiring day behind me.
