Chapter 3: Memories Part1

LOVE! One of the wishes I wished was love. I remember now, everlasting love. That’s what I said at that moment but never  had I expected to get my wish granted in the form of marriage. 

This is really too hard to process. Now let us calm down and look at things one at a time. So my wish which I blurted out that night was granted. And it seemed like one by one of these wishes were being fulfilled. One of my wishes was to be given a second chance, another was for beauty and now this third one was for love. And if I'm not wrong, my other wish was for a family. I wish for it too and now it seems like I have been reborn in a very loving family and not to mention, this family is crazy rich seeing how my room is and judging from this situation. Heck who can order maids around if it's not for money. This proved that my other wish to be wealthy is also granted. It seems like my second life is as a daughter of a very rich family. I'm a bit concerned with the next wish. If my memories serve me right. My sixth wish was for reputation and recognition. I don't know how famous this family I am right now is but I'm a bit worried how that wish will be granted. And as for my last wish…. I can't remember? Well now that I think of it..did I wish for seven wishes? Was it only six? Does that mean that I wasted a wish? Ahhh what a loss! Had I known these would come true I should have been more serious. But what's done is done. 

''Luna! Is there anything you need dear? And how is the dress fitting?''. 

''No no, it's fine. Actually m-mother, I want to ask you a few things.''

Currently at the moment the maids are helping me in the bath and the woman who claims to be my mother is also there but sitting beside me and washing my hair. This feels a bit weird, from being undressed to being accompanied to the bath, I feel like a princess. And not to mention this is one crazy looking bathroom. Damn these people are crazy rich. I can tell just from the enormous bathtub and the setting of the room.

Honestly this is going too fast for me to process. Apart from being suddenly reborn as a whole new person and now I have to get married, I don't even know what is going on and where to start. A million questions are burning in my brain but if I ask her too much, the woman might suspect something so I should think before I speak. 

''Mother, what do you think of the person who is going to marry me?''

''What do I think? Haha.. what do you think? He is a prince of this kingdom and we are but nobles. Honestly I haven't even seen him that much so I don't really know how to feel about this. However as a mother I do think it's a good opportunity for you. I never thought that the prince would demand you to be his bride on the very first time he met you at that ball. I understand if you're angry at me for forcing you to attend that party which brings you to this situation and I am truly sorry for being so powerless.

“A prince?!’’

“Yes, and the crown prince at that! I thought you already knew that dear.’’

“Ah ah yes i know about it, it's just that it's hard to believe a prince wants me as a bride.”

“Ohh my dear Luna, you sure are humble. What men in this world won't fall for you. For one who possesses such fine beauty and charm. You even said that you won't go to the party because you hated how so many men have come for your hand and how many more have confessed their feelings for you.”

What a blunder! I underestimated my new looks. With such beauty it's only true guys would dig in. I hope she won't notice that I'm no longer the same person I used to be. But even so it's going to take a while to get used to this new life and new – WAIT! What?! Prince? Nobles? Where am I? Which part of this world still has princes and nobles? And judging by their attire I thought we were somewhere in Europe. But somehow I feel like I am somewhere pretty medieval. Did I go back in time or did I get reborn into my past life? This sure is unsettling and there’s so much I don't know yet. I really hope I can do something about my current situation. Honestly I don't even know if I can work out this marriage successfully. I really want to ask a lot of things but who can answer all these questions I have. 

“I can”, a similar voice pops up in my head and the moment I heard that voice I found myself in the bathtub all alone. The woman, the maids, they were all gone! They just suddenly vanished and the room was eerily silent. Then suddenly I felt a pull from under the bath and the bathtub which was supposedly only knee deep now seems to be an ocean. I felt like I was slowly drowning in that ocean. Then everything seemed to darken out and I came to stop surrounded in pure darkness like being on the bottom of the ocean. Somehow this reminded me of the time I jumped out of that bridge but then a light popped up like a screen in that darkness. I stared into that light and I saw scenes and images. These….these are the girl’s memories. This went on and one scene after another popped up and although it was long, it didn't feel like much time had passed and even though I had only seen those scenes once, it was more than enough to give me information I needed. But still something feels off. It's as if these scenes only tell me what I want and need to know about my current situation but a huge chunk of her life was never really revealed to me. Why do I feel that I am being controlled by someone? 

At that moment I was pulled back up and before I knew it. I was back to my senses and everything was as it was. It seems like my mother did not even know what had happened even though she was right here with me, as well as these maids. 

“Your hair is really pretty. It's really amazing since you're the only one who had ever grown such hair in our entire generation and even our ancestors had never had one except our great great grandmother”, said her mother as she washes her hair.

It doesn't seem like she knew what had just happened but because of that  I more or less have an idea of what is going on. So that's how it is. At the very least I can now confirm that whatever this place is…It's definitely not earth. No, it's more correct for me to say that is not my world. It’s a parallel world. I have been reborn to a parallel world.
