Reina's attention was now on the secret that she had uncovered about her predecessor, causing her to be eager to uncover the truth.
With this intention in her mind, she stood before the wardrobe that houses Rein's leisurewear as what she needed was laid behind that door.
She then pulled the door open and soon began rummaging through her predecessor's belongings, causing the neatly arranged and properly folded items to be tossed all over the room.
In no time, the wardrobe was emptied and its contents were now in the form of heaping piles of crumpled clothes that had been scattered all across the floor.
Without caring about the mess she had made, Reina widened her eyes at the sight before her.
She had not only found what she had been initially looking for but had also chanced upon something even better in the process.
'Rein, you naughty little vampiress!' She giggled while running her hands across the hardcover books she had found in the last shelf of the wardrobe that had been hidden under a heavy pile of clothes until now.
There were around six books there and each looked thicker than the one stacked above it.
Carrying them over to the bed, she tossed them on it before climbing in once again.
The books were covered in dark leather of different colors and every single one of them looked dull and dreary, making one unwilling to open and look through it.
The cover itself was enough to make anyone refuse to read such a boring-looking book but Reina was not easy to fool.
The moment she had come across these books, a new set of memories was triggered which helped her realize the purpose of these books and what she would find inside them.
She then picked up the book at the bottom of the stack, which seemingly appeared to be a big and boring one but it was in fact filled with short stories of all kinds.
'Naughty stories to be precise~' She blushed since she had not expected to find something like this in her predecessor's wardrobe.
She had known that Rein's favorite pastime was to read romance books but this was a step further into a darker realm.
Flipping through the pages of that book, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment when she found detailed drawings illustrating certain snippets of the short stories present at random pages throughout the book.
Today Reina truly understood the reason why the saying, 'Don't judge a book by its cover' existed.
After all, the dull-looking book she was currently glimpsing through was filled with spicy enough content that it could be classified as erotica without a doubt.
Coughing to hide her embarrassment, she shut the book soon after and chose to divert her attention elsewhere.
Reina had been a hardcore fujoshi for a major part of her life, implying that she was a veteran at everything in the field of love where two men were involved.
While she did prefer reading Boy's love or yaoi, she did not shy away from indulging in other genres once in a way that caused her to be well-acquainted with all things related to smut of any kind.
This helped her stay grounded and not disregard someone else's preferences just because she was not interested in the same thing as the other person.
Giving herself a commendable pat on the back for being so understanding of others' preferences, Reina decided to put the books away for the moment and focus on the main reason she had turned her room into an unholy mess.
Next to the books that were scattered on the bed, she caught sight of the little black wooden box which had also been brought onto the bed.
This box was placed right next to the stack of books in the wardrobe so she had picked it up as well earlier.
Now observing the wooden item, her lips curved into a victorious smile as this was the same box that Rein fetched every time she left the palace premises.
The secret that she had witnessed in those memories was related to the contents of this very box.
Running her fingers across the box which was just a little larger than her palm, she sensed no markings on it to indicate that it belonged to someone else.
This gave her the confidence to twist the latch on it which brought out a loud click sound in the silent room, signifying that she had just unlocked the box with ease.
'Hmm?' The young vampire blinked her eyes as she shook the box a little once she had opened it.
However, even then the result of her observation was the same.
Reina narrowed her eyes to make sure that she was seeing the right things now that she had opened this box that had been hidden in a discreet corner of her wardrobe.
The items present in the box were within her scope of expectations thanks to her predecessor's memories that had been triggered but the items present had never been the issue.
It was the difference in the quantity of those items that had thrown her off.
'Three!?' She gaped at the number of items placed inside this box which was certainly greater than what she had been anticipating to find.
