Story 22. The Line between the Light and the Shadow (5)

Chapter 37

I shivered when I saw the prince. Was he okay? What happened to him? When I ran to him and lifted him up, thankfully, he was still conscious.

"Hmm…. Juya? Hehehe…"

He sounded intoxicated. When I checked his eyes, I saw that they were foggy. I was about to take him outside but decided to cover up the bowl with the burning incense first. I used a thick book nearby and placed it on top of the container, but as I did, I realized that I missed a long stick that was leaning against the bowl. I ended up knocking it off the table, and because of the sound, the prince finally woke up a little bit more. He flailed around and murmured, "Oh… that… if you leave it, it will cause a fire… You need to put in on the table…"

However, when I checked it carefully, there was no more fire or even the smallest sparks in the bowl. It was only filled with burnt ashes that smelled very intoxicating.
