1. Woke up as the third prince

Prince! Prince! Prince!

He heard a lady shout the words sweetly through her cries which seems very pleasant to his ears. He thought who would be having fun at this time of the day and could not help muttered 'at least keep it down'. As he tried to change his poster on his bed or so he thought, he felt the bed seems softer, no lighter, no it felt …

Prince! You are awake!

Another shout came from the same voice from before but this time he could something was wrong… really wrong. He opened his eyes but had to shut it immediately because of the light. It felt like been asleep for a long time and waking up to stare at the sun directly.

He struggled a few more times before his eyes adjusted to the light within what seems to be like science lab, no there are transparent screens this must be a computer lab. He looked around and found only one little girl inside the room. The girl kept saying things he could not understand since he woke up, and kept touching the glass that separated them.

The thing that separated us? Where am I? What is this slippery liquid? Whose hand is this? Oh it's my hand, then it's fine. No, what is going on? Aaaah…

He became nervous and kept asking questions in his mind as he could not speak because of the mask on his face. But it all ended when he felt severe pain in his head which made him pass out.

…

A young elegant boy in his magnificent white suit, stared out, up through the window into the void. Enjoying the wonders of space and stars. He gracefully turned to met an adorable little girl dressed similarly but her suit gave off a more feminine vibe and showed her features vividly.

She walked towards him and took his hand. After exchanging complements, they walked towards the front of the ship and saw the beautiful motherworld they had left a few years ago. The bustling lights signaled their welcome home, thousands of fighter ships lead the way, thousands behind and thousands on each side of his warship. Protecting him from unseen enemies.

The third prince of Eltra, the Great Eltra Empire that casts across the known universe. Ruled by… used to be under his late father's command, now had no ruler for three years. His brothers, sisters and himself were sent out on the expedition to gather forces and power without using the power of their background or name, for three years.

This day, was the reunion and the day to choose who was going to be 'The Ruler'.

…

Slowly opening his eyes to a white roof, he quickly sat up and due to that felt another headache which he gave out a little mourn. He could sense a great familiarity with the place as he stared around the room which had only a door, window and bed. He could also remember a lot of things which he was sure wasn't his own memory. But it felt like he had lived each and every memory and could feel the emotional attachment to each and every memory.

He slowly lies-down on the bed and accessed his memories, the new memories which had merged with his old one. After a while, he finally deduced his transmigration and how the previous him died.

During the return of the royal children, a senator named Sarius used the opportunity to seize power, declaring himself regent and eliminated the royal children. Luckily for him, his brothers and sisters fought back and paved way for him to escape but was tagged as wanted with a huge bounty on his head.

He was then chased across galaxies until he was cornered and his ship suffered great damage. Unfortunately for him, he was caught up in the blast and died on the spot. That is when he, Ghengi, transmigrated into his body.

Luckily, the attackers were pirates who only plundered his resources and took away all valuables including his clothes. They left only the scrape metal walls of the ship intact. Or else he would not have survived after his transmigration.

<Prince Ghengi, how do you feel now?>

He heard the sweet voice once more which settled him. He looked around the room and found no one. As if something triggered in his head, he stared at the ceiling and called out "Sindy".

<Yes Prince>

<Your vitals are stable and everything else is healthy, you can freely move tell me if feel any discomfort>

"Sindy, am well. There is no need for such measures", Ghengi said with a smile and continued, "Can you show up so we talk about what to do next, we can't stay here forever ca we?".

Sindy is the Artificial Intelligence of this ship and a very close companion of the previous Ghengi. The little girl he saw before was Sindy in her materialized form.

<Prince I am really sorry, can not materialize as used more than 50% of the backed up energy reserve to reconstruct your body.>

"Oh that's fine, what is our current statistics?". He asked.

< Prince am sorry to inform you that all our resources and energy reserves were taken by the pirates. They went to the extent of peeling off the reinforcement layer of the walls. We are currently left with no attack power or defense, food reserve is also empty.>

Sindy continued after a short pause, < I would advice to dock at the nearest planet or port. Fortunately I pre scan and locked onto a suitable location before they took down the radar. >

Listening to the report, he felt depressed with each sentence but his eyes lit up when he heard the last part.

"Then let's head there before the energy runs out". He said hurriedly.

< You were asleep for a long time so I decided on it a long time ago. We will arrive in an hour.>

"That's more like it".

"But Sindy, there's one problem. Clothes?"

< You can find one in the secret drawer under your bed. Please it is more appropriate to wear something unofficial as to avoid attention my Prince >

"Are you worried someone might steal me away?"

'Silence'
