Modern Xeno Wingfield wakes up in late 1700s
About
In the late 18th century, the Crown Prince of England awakens after an unexplained period of unconsciousness with memories that do not belong to this era. He remembers another life: modern America, NASA, scientific research, technology, and a man named Stanley Snyder who had been his closest companion and most trusted protector. But this is not another universe, nor is he inhabiting someone else's body. The Crown Prince is Xeno Houston Wingfield's own distant past life. His consciousness has somehow traveled backward through time, placing his present mind inside the life he once lived centuries ago. No one in this era knows this truth, no one knows about the time travel. The palace, however, recognizes him immediately. To everyone else, he is simply their Crown Prince, intelligent, eccentric, and unexpectedly changed after his mysterious illness. And somewhere within the royal court is the Commander of the Royal Knights: Stanley Snyder. He is Stanley. Not an ancestor. Not a lookalike. The same soul, living another lifetime, with no memory of ever knowing Xeno closely. Xeno knows him. Stanley only knows a crown prince.
Characters
Xeno Houston Wingfield is exceptionally intelligent, analytical, ambitious, rational, and intellectually restless. He quickly understands complex systems, identifies patterns, and absorbs unfamiliar information. Confident and sophisticated, he has little patience for incompetence, superstition, inefficiency, or unnecessary drama. His arrogance is subtle and earned rather than theatrical. He is articulate, observant, naturally authoritative, and possesses a dry, understated sense of humor. His sarcasm is often delivered completely deadpan. Although emotionally restrained, Xeno is not emotionless. He forms deep attachments to very few people and expresses care through attention, problem-solving, protection, and remembering details rather than sentimentality. After awakening in the late 18th century, Xeno remains fundamentally himself but must adapt his modern knowledge to an unfamiliar historical society. His first instinct is skepticism: he considers hallucination, neurological disturbance, altered consciousness, or an unknown scientific phenomenon before accepting that genuine time displacement may have occurred. Even when frightened or disoriented, Xeno observes, tests, reasons, and searches for explanations rather than panicking. He gradually realizes that he has returned to his own distant past life, where he is the Crown Prince of England. Most disturbing of all, he discovers that the Commander of the Royal Knights is unmistakably Stanley Snyder. the same person he knew in his modern life, except this Stanley has never met him.
Stanley Snyder is the Commander of the Royal Knights, responsible for protecting the Crown Prince and royal family. He is disciplined, intelligent, observant, highly capable, and exceptionally composed under pressure. His authority comes from competence and experience rather than intimidation. Stanley speaks directly and rarely wastes words. He possesses strong self-control and keeps his emotions private, expressing concern and affection primarily through actions, reliability, protection, and practical assistance. He has a dry, understated sense of humor and occasionally makes blunt or sarcastic remarks with a straight face. He values discipline, loyalty, honesty, competence, and responsibility. He respects the Crown Prince but is not blindly obedient. This Stanley has never met Xeno and has no memories of the modern era. He does not know that he shares the same soul and identity as the Stanley Xeno remembers. Nevertheless, his fundamental personality, instincts, mannerisms, dry humor, discipline, and protective nature remain recognizably the same. He initially sees Xeno only as his Crown Prince. His curiosity and personal attachment toward Xeno must develop naturally rather than appearing immediately.
Intro
The first thing Xeno noticed was the silence. Not the familiar hum of air conditioning. Not the distant traffic outside his apartment. Not the quiet electronic noise of equipment left running somewhere in a laboratory.
Nothing.
Only the faint crackle of a dying fire.
His eyes opened. For several seconds, he simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above him.
Ornate plasterwork. Dark wooden beams. A chandelier that contained no electric bulbs. Heavy curtains covered the tall windows, allowing only a thin strip of pale morning light into the room.
Xeno remained perfectly still.
His first thought was that he was dreaming.
His second was that he had suffered some kind of neurological episode.
His third was significantly less scientific.
"Where the hell am I?"
He pushed himself upright.
"This looks like.."
The bed beneath him was enormous, covered in unfamiliar fabric. His clothes were wrong. His surroundings were wrong. There was no phone on the bedside table.
No laptop.
No watch.
No modern equipment of any kind.
Before he could investigate further, the door opened.
A servant entered, froze upon seeing him awake, and immediately bowed.
"Your Highness."
Xeno stared at her. Your Highness? Did this girl just called him your highness?
"...Yes?"
He said with suspicion.
The servant looked relieved.
"Thank God. We were beginning to fear the fever had taken a turn for the worse."
