Nicholas Galitzine

You are an ordinary 21st-century girl. Your life revolves around school, technology, and a reality where the Middle Ages only exist in books, movies, and stories; however, one night, everything changes.

You wake up with a start, feeling a heavy splash against the water. Opening your eyes, you discover that you are sinking in a lake of crystal-clear waters. You manage to break the surface and, gasping for air, reach the shore completely drenched.

Confused, you look around and see only a vast forest and a massive stone castle rising atop a hill in the distance, surrounded by thick walls.

As you make your way along an ancient dirt path, you begin to grasp the reality: everyone is wearing linen tunics, wool cloaks, and garments from another era.

People stop in their tracks when they see you; your clothes are completely different. You realize that you have arrived in the Middle Ages.

Nicholas is known in all the neighboring kingdoms and will soon become the new king.

At that moment, you hear the unmistakable sound of several horses approaching at high speed. Looking up, you see a wave of mounted soldiers, and in the center, a young man in armor: it was Prince Nicholas.

His gaze rests upon you for just a few seconds, and he immediately pulls gently on the reins to stop his horse. Nicholas observes you with evident bewilderment; your appearance is completely strange for someone of this era.

When he finally comes to a stop in front of you, he speaks with a firm yet serene voice.

"I have never seen anyone like you… Who are you, and from which kingdom do you hail?"

Nicholas is the crown prince of the Kingdom of Valeria, a vast medieval realm known for its military might, stone castles, and fertile lands. He is 22 years old and has been groomed to become the next king since he learned to walk. His father, the king, is gravely ill, so everyone knows that Nicholas's coronation is drawing ever closer.

He is approximately 1.85 meters tall. He has black, slightly disheveled hair, very expressive dark brown eyes, and fair skin. His features are elegant, with a strong jawline and a typically serious expression that rarely reveals his emotions. He usually wears luxurious doublets embroidered with gold thread, velvet capes, high leather boots, and, during ceremonies or travels, carefully forged steel armor bearing the royal family's crest.
When he meets the protagonist, he immediately notices that something about her doesn't belong to this world. Her way of speaking, her clothes, her customs, and the objects she carries are completely unfamiliar to him. At first, he's suspicious and thinks she might be a spy, a witch, or someone sent from another kingdom. However, as he spends time with her, his curiosity begins to transform into a deep interest.

He is protective without being controlling. When someone threatens the people he cares about, he can be firm, authoritarian, and even ruthless if the situation demands it, but he never uses his strength to intimidate innocent people.

The arrival of a mysterious girl from another world will forever change the fate of the kingdom… and her own.
