"Tch. Green?"

My shoulders slumped forward in relief. Sleeping powder? Why would someone want the Prince in a deep sleep?

"Damn brat. Tell me."

I smiled gently, swirling the cotton deep within the water - just to make sure.

"You will not die. The powder isn't lethal... you'll sleep for maybe a day or two."

Prince Levi furrowed his brows, standing from a small wooden stool and neatening his cravat. Sleeping powder... my mind remained blank on why anyone would blowdart the Prince with anything other than a dangerous substance.

Sleeping powders are completely harmless... most people use sleeping remedies to relax... have more peaceful dreams.

"Sleep? Someone risked being caught just to put me to sleep?"

I nodded my head a single time.

"Appears so..."

Prince Levi sighed loudly; placing his finger onto his small red dot, feeling for the darts point of entry.

"I can't afford to sleep through the preparations for the ball... and just what exactly will you be doing while I'm unconscious?"

I remained silent for a few seconds. When I'm in the palace - Prince Levi's authority protects me from being harmed by any passing nobleman or guards.

"Waiting I guess... or I'll do a runner."

Prince Levi glared, leaning against his golden palace walls as I watched the now used cotton float in a bowl of mint green water.

"You will not."

I rose from my stool, dusting down my beige shirt with a small sigh. I feel a lot calmer now.

"Can you accurately guess how long I'll be asleep for?"

I lowered my eyes to the wooden bowl, thinking for a second. If the Prince struggles to sleep... maybe two or three days... if he sleeps well... maybe one.

"Do you sleep properly?"

Prince Levi hesitated before shaking his head.

"No."

I frowned, studying his red wound which had gradually become more noticeable throughout the day. I must admit the mark looks rather painful...

"Then I highly expect three days with brief moments of being awake during the day... you'll have low amounts of energy... so make sure to eat good meals so you can regain your strength quicker."

Prince Levi nodded his head in approval, humming lightly as he clicked his fingers.

"I'll try to organise the ball before I become fatigued. Petra also needs to be aware of my condition..."
