It all starts when I slowly open my eyes. I discovered that everything around me was completely strange. Apparently I was in some kind of Catholic church.
from some other remote era, perhaps the Middle Ages or the Renaissance.
I turn stealthily to my right, twisting my eyes without turning my head, and there is a priest dressed in purple and gold, raising a kind of spoon with which he threw water, while pronouncing some words in a language, which in my mind, I think it's Latin or Greek, I honestly didn't know it at the time.
In front of me, I find myself holding the hands of a blonde woman with crystal blue eyes, they were almost like the blue of the sky.
It was a very beautiful young woman who was wearing a white dress, a wedding-like dress with several engravings and a tiara with blue diamonds. After a few moments, he tilted his head down as if he were looking at his sneakers. I took it lightly by the tips of my fingers, making a very gentle contact.
Suddenly a burst of light comes into my head and I finally understand what is happening. I'm getting married! and I find myself exactly at my wedding, but not at just any wedding, it is a nobility wedding.
I opened my eyes very wide and started to break out in a cold sweat, I was wondering what the hell was happening? Afterwards, my eyelids felt a little heavy. I felt like I was going to faint. At that, the priest touches my shoulder saying these words to me.
"Your highness, you are fine, I see you a little uncomfortable."
Your Highness?. Am I a monarch in this world? I think it's too good to be true. Will I be a king, a prince, or a duke? Will I have riches, horses, a castle and thousands of princesses at my feet?
Later, I turn my head and see the priest again but this time, I look him straight in the eyes. For some reason I knew his name, his name was Sigmund... Bishop Sigmund. Apparently, he still possessed the memories of this new body. I remember deep down that I come from a far away land, I came here to marry the princess of this kingdom of Sorenberg.
I have very vague memories... I don't have all the memory of this world in my mind, but at that moment, I had the feeling of being able to adapt and function correctly without the people around me seeing me as strange.
The last thing I remember about my old body was that I went to sleep thinking about the work I had to hand in tomorrow, I worked as a research assistant at a university doing all the heavy tasks of my professor and thesis advisor. It was hard work, I was basically my advisor's slave.
I always wanted with all my heart to escape from that reality to a new world, where things were better for me, where I didn't have to live my usual boring and monotonous life. My prayers were answered and lo and behold, I was in another world in the blink of an eye. Now, it was my chance to change my life, to make the most of this new body and this new universe.
Suddenly, while I am still immersed in my thoughts, the bishop pronounces these words: "You can kiss the bride."
At that moment my heart began to beat harder and harder. I felt like it was going to come out of my chest. I gently leaned toward the young woman, but I sensed that she didn't want to do so. At that, he stood me up firmly, I cough a little to clear my throat, covering my mouth with my fist and suddenly I feel like I'm going to fall. I start to sweat getting colder. I look to the right and then to the left, I start to see blurry everywhere. Then, I begin to touch my head with my right hand and close my eyes, squeezing them tightly,
Your Majesty, are you well, would you like something to drink to calm your nerves a little? Bishop Sigmund begins to say.
Suddenly I feel how my legs begin to bend more and more, my feet feel equally weak, incapable of carrying my heavy body, my throat is dry as if I were in the middle of a desert without any water, my eyelids heavy as if a force invisible was pushing them down. Then out of nowhere, I fall to the ground passed out.
The last thing I heard was
"Stop this wedding! Bring a doctor, the prince needs help."
When I wake up, I begin to gently open my eyes, my vision is still a little blurry, I feel a large red silk blanket on me, I begin to touch it and feel how soft it is, I have never touched real silk in my life, I think. Then, I start touching my face, I touch my eyes, my hair and my neck. Am I dreaming? I must have been dreaming and now I'm back in my bed, it was all just a wonderful dream, that's for sure. Then, I begin to open my eyes more, I lift my torso and I see that I am in a completely different place than in my bedroom in my apartment. I begin to see a luxurious chamber with the walls full of engravings, the ceiling is gigantic and covered with a mural with religious images of the Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ, even the bed I am lying on is too wide, three could easily fit. people. Then suddenly the doors to my chamber suddenly open and I see a strange person peeking out.
"Your Majesty, you are feeling better now, how is your health?"
"Ah, I feel fine, I feel much better already," I responded, trying to sound as natural as possible.
I had to start behaving like a real monarch so they wouldn't think I was crazy, because it would never occur to me to tell them that I came from another universe.
Then I lift my torso, yawn a little, and get off the big bed. I put my sneakers back on, which were very strange because they didn't have laces, although that made them easier to put on. Then I start walking towards the door of my bedroom.
I start to open it slowly as if I didn't want to make any noise and suddenly I see a person right next to the door. It was Bishop Sigmund who lay standing by the entrance to my chamber as if he were a castle guard.
