Chapter 3 - Awareness

At least that's what the notebook inside the cabinet that's beside the bed told me . It looks like a diary though apart from the fact it was completely leather black . There were 3 of them there .  It occured to me that I was strangely able to read this language and also able to speak it quite frequently . I don't know where I am ?

When I woke up I was confused and to be honest scared . I felt pain in my head and my eyelids felt heavy . I was shocked to the point that i didn't noticed that young girl walk in . when i finally noticed her she quickly looked down not meeting my eyes .  I wanted to ask something but soon she walked out .

My "wait" drifted in the air  . The voice doesn't sound right . It sounded fresh like that of a young man . Maybe I didn't realise it when I cursed but now I did . My real  voice was husky and deep not much but sounded like how a 30 year old man sounded .

Soon enough I noticed my hands . I was pale but right now my skin shone . My skin was wheat colored the same as my feet . I don't think someone did  a plastic surgery on me though because

..

Why would they ?

So I ran around the room filled with riches to find a damn mirror but could find none .

When I was running around pulling on these deadass long golden hairs . They were really long . LIKE REALLY LONG.

I saw a bunch of people rushing in the room  .  They were all foreigners .It was the largest number of them I have ever seen with all shades  of brown and blond .   They seemed worried and anxious . They seemed nice so I asked

"Where am I ?"

They looked at me in disbelief and muttered  among themselves . The girls nodded beside the man with a long beard. Uhmm

"So …." I voiced out just to get their attention to me

"Can I have a mirror? please " I asked

All heads shot straight at me . As If I had asked a ridiculous thing

"Please , Your Highness . Don't be so courteous to mere servants like us . we shall perform our duties to the best " The girl with two braids said . She had freckles which looked adorable on her young face .

But instead of her robotic reply I was more focused on the first letters of her sentence .

"Sorry . What did you just call me ? " I asked

She looked at me . a brief confusion on her face .

" Your Highness " she replied

"And why do you call me that? " I asked

" Because you are,  your highness"  she replied

"Hh" I tilted my head to the side

"The mirror " i asked

"Yes . your highness"

As she walked . It came to me that all the other girls were wearing the same dresses . Black and white . Quite plain  . Some of the men were also wearing similar colored Clothes . I just stared at them . Weirdly enough they didn't seem to mind my staring at all . They all wore that stoic look . It kinda looked dull .

Soon the girl came back with the mirror . I was desperate and she was walking at a uniform speed like some robot.  So , I moved towards her snatching the mirror and mumbling a thank you

To her . She looked at me wide eyed  then quickly returned to being stone faced .

I looked in the mirror . There was a beautiful face of a young man . Blond long hair and Blue eyes although hard to describe what kind of blue it was . As he blinked his eyelashes fluttered, giving some softness to a stranger's heart . But soon the young man frowned looking at the mirror . Because it is not my face .

WHERE THE HELL IS MY FACE ?

I looked again and blinked again. The reflection In the mirror did the same . Where the hell is my brown eyes , brown hair and my precious beard that I grew out with so much effort .

In my own confusion , I asked the man standing before me .

"How do I look?"

He looked at my face then with some hesitation said

"Your highness , you look handsome as always"

This was not a compliment my overly common face was used to hearing .So , I lifted the mirror with some effort again . Still the same Face .

"Who am I ?" I asked more to myself than to them

They looked at each other and the girl with pigtails replied with some confidence replied

"Your highness , You are the star of our sylvia empire . The honor of us common folks and the hope of our kingdom . the first prince ,Albert Wingstonee  "

Everyone was quiet and bowed with their heads down . It looked more of a textbook answer to me .

But her passion was quite impressive .

"And who are you?" I asked

She looked up at me and then bowed again . With a soft voice she replied

" I am Aries . I am a maid having honor to serve his highness with his needs "

"And who are they ?" I asked, pointing at the crowd of people behind . they looked pitiful bowing like that

"They are also your servants . your highness"

I was silent for a while . I was at a weird place with weird people with weird expressions and who kept calling me 'your highness' for some reason. And the weirdest of it was all that my face looked like that of a prince from a fairytale . My head started to ache . Fuck my life .

I rubbed my forehead with fingers doing a constant motion to release the nerves .

"Your highness, the doctor will be coming soon . Please rest for the time being " the pony tailed girl asked

"For what ?"I asked with an annoyed voice and a sharp end to my words

"To inquire . You were poisoned your highness "

I was a little shocked although it seemed absurd . I was definitely not in my own body due to some circumstance I have transmitted to this place and this body . This person was poisoned due to which he was also on the death bed . Although I am not sure whether he is alive or not . Maybe he also transmitted or maybe not .Endless possibilities

"Due to circumstances , I am a little confused and dizzy . If I make any mistakes please correct them " I said with a soft voice to show how frail I am  and then I smiled out of politeness but they looked rather more shocked to see me smile than my words from earlier . Although wide eyed at first they all soon bowed . Some of them even blushed. Benefits of a pretty face I guess  .

"Your highness " A man with a quiet plain face spoke  . his face reminded me of my own  plain  face and I signed

"Yes" I spoke

"Should I Call her highness?" He asked

"Her highness? " I asked raising my eyebrows as to indicate my curiosity and also my helplessness of not knowing anything

"Yes,  Her Highness . Your wife " he spoke with a proud look on his face  like he did a great job for his employer and should be praised .

But my face paled . My what ???
