《The Sleepy Princess Loves The Cold Duke》Chapter Sixteen: Beauty and the Beast

Steven scribbled in a journal.
"What are you doing?" Poppy eyed the box of cookies as the steps of the lab. Loki was standing far away from the lab when Poppy opened the door to grab the container. "Steven told me you don't like it when people go near your lab. So I'm standing here." Loki pointed to the ground to prove he was standing far away.
Poppy eyed the cookies wearily. "They're not poisoned right? Like another weird way of trying to kill me?"
Loki led the Princess down the hall. She looked at the blank wall they had stopped at in confusion. "My father used to spend most of his time in here so I had it sealed off after his death." He placed his hand on the wall and crushed the concrete. The weak wall slowly crumbled away. Poppy coughed from the ash and Loki hurriedly apologized.
A door was revealed behind the wall. Loki pushed it open and stepped in first. He offered a hand to Poppy which she took. She held onto him as she climbed over the broken concrete. When she made it inside her eyes widened. It was a library. The roof was a glass dome. The light from the sun overhead made the room look magical. The library was covered in dust and cob webs but the tall book shelves that towered over her were stunning. There were stairs leading to the several floors of books she couldn't wait to read. Her heart pulled with anticipation.
Poppy knew that the Duke's father was a sore spot for him. Meaning she also knew that opening this library to her must have been a tough thing for him to do. "Thank you." She grinned up at him. A genuinely happily smile that warmed his heart. He liked the way she looked when she smiled and wished she would do it more often.

Poppy hugged him as a sign of thanks and Loki stood there unsure of what to do. "I really am thankful. It must have been a hard thing to do by showing me this." Loki looked around the library. It was a bittersweet feeling. "If it makes you this happy then I'm fine. If you want I can have a few maids start cleaning it up now." Poppy nodded against his chest.
She pulled away from him.
