After Nolls and Zero left, I climbed straight into bed, utterly exhausted. I’d managed to survive with my peasanthood intact, but I couldn’t help feeling that ghosts of my past were swiftly closing in on me.

At this point, I was really starting to suspect that powerful forces were at work—as if fate was trying to steer the plot back on-script. Whatever it was, it didn’t seem likely that some first-time reincarnator like me stood a chance against it. I was a jack of all trades, master of none. My brother, on the other hand, was an actual prodigy...and I’d never once claimed a victory against him.

Just as I was starting to dwell on it, a very aggressive knock at my door broke me out of my reverie. Reluctantly, I climbed out of my bedroll and went to answer it.

Who the heck would pound at my door like that? Is it Nolls? Maybe he forgot something...

I couldn’t imagine that anyone other than Nolls would be visiting me right now. The only other person I could think of, if I had to think of someone, was a ruffian on the prowl for women who lived alone.

I unceremoniously kicked my bedroll to the corner of the room and yelled “Coming!” Still in a stupor, I opened the door.

“Wow... You didn’t even check who was on the other side before you flung it wide open. Your survival instincts have all but dried up, haven’t they?”

There was only one person who spoke to me in such an openly rude and sarcastic manner: the pale, red-eyed, white-heared Mel. My eyes shot wide open.

His scowl of outright disdain looked wholly out of place on that baby face of his. He gave me a quick once-over from my head to my toes and let out a sigh.

“I came here to give you a heads-up about our ‘guests from out of town,’ but judging by the disheveled state of your whole deal, I’m guessing I missed my window,” he said.

“Great. If you’ve figured that much out, then leave,” is what I should have said...but my neurons weren’t firing properly yet. Instead, I grabbed him by the arm and yanked him inside, shutting the door behind him. I was impressed to see his three guards slip in effortlessly before the door closed.

Okay... I think I’m feeling a little more composed now.

“Good evening, Lord Melvin,” I finally answered.

“I have no further business with you.”

“I assume the ‘guests from out of town’ you came to warn me about were the two men from the bordering kingdom,” I said. “Considering your connections, I’m hardly surprised you’d hear about their visit.”

“Yeah, exactly. And it seems no warning is needed now, so I’m going to leave.”

As he turned to leave, I clung to his arm with a smile and cooed, “Already?”

He shot me a disgusted look and yanked my arm loose.

Sheesh, he really does hate me.

I was a little surprised by how strong his reaction had been. Not to toot my own horn, but whatever he thought of my personality, I was gorgeous.
