《The Sleepy Princess Loves The Cold Duke》Chapter Twenty-Five: Sort Of
Advertisement
"My brother. He is working with a group of people called the Heat Wave." 'What a cringy name,' Poppy thought.
"The Heat Wave's is a just a group of random people who hate the Frost Dukedom and some even the Lullaby kingdom as a whole. My brother, Aries, he is planning to slowly destroy the country in 'waves' of destruction. He is a far stronger siren than I am. I met him a month ago when he tried to get me to join but I refused. I already got my revenge. I have no reason to harm you as well," Angelica looked up to Loki.
"He plans on attacking again in a week. Using stronger monsters than last time. I don't know where he is hiding but-." Then Angelica paused. She opened and closed her mouth rapidly and grinned. "Oh thank God that is over," she heaved a sigh.
"That's enough information for you guys? I am getting really sleepy. It's too late for all this," Angel calmly asked. Loki looked like he wanted to ring Angelica by the neck but Steven called him down and told him they could try again in 24 hours.
Loki seemed to calm down. He then refocused his attention on Poppy. "Okay. Let's go to bed." He stood up and walked over to Poppy. He picked her up bridal style. "Omg, Loki! I can walk on my own." He shook his head, "we need to have our own interrogation. One far away from that woman." He turned to Steven. "You know where to take her." Steven smiled and nodded, "the farthest bedroom away from you two. Got it." Angelica grumbled, "oh come on! Why are you so hostile. I won't do anything!" Her nose slowly started to stretch forward. Angelica shrieked and started trying to push her nose back in.

"Oh yeah. I forgot to say there are side effects. It will go back to normal in ten minutes." Poppy cackled. Loki ran full speed to the bedroom and in a blink of an eye Poppy was laying on their bed. Poppy looked around astounded. "You really are one of the strongest people in be world!" Loki nodded a bit sheepishly.
Poppy laid down and waited for Loki to lay down as well. He instead sat down on his side of the bed. "Poppy. What am I to you?"
Poppy raised an eyebrow at the question, "my fiancé?" He sighed, "that's not what I mean. Um. How do I word it...."
He readjusted himself so he was sitting against the headboard. "When you think of me what feelings do you feel?" Poppy rolled onto her back and pondered the question. "Happiness. Peace. Sleepy."
"Sleepy?"
"Steven says it means I feel safe around you." Loki nodded sense he too had asked Steven this question.
"You said happiness. What type of happiness?" Loki glanced down at Poppy with eager eyes. Poppy smiled and looked up to Loki. "Loki. Are you asking me if I have romantic feelings for you?"
Loki's face flushed red. That was enough of an answer for her. "Then my answer would be... sort of. I don't know anything about you, Loki. I just learned you used to have a fiance. A really pretty and tall fiancé." Loki patted Poppy's head. "I mean she said she used to manipulate you. How did she do that? With cookies and hugs? Because to me it sounded like you were in love with her. And she used your love against you. It also seemed like she loved you. Probably still does."

Loki frowned, "I don't love her anymore." Poppy sat up, causing his hand that was on her head to flop onto the bed. Poppy turned to Loki. "Yes but how do I know that? How do I know your feelings for her are completely gone. I don't know anything about you. For all I know you are still planning on killing me whenever you get the chance."
Lokis flinched. He felt like she had ripped open a closing wound. "You still don't trust me? Poppy I'm trying here. I am trying so hard." Poppy shrugged, tears brimming in her eyes. "With what? Cookies and tea time? That's not you opening up to me that's you kissing up to me. I need vulnerability Loki. I want to feel like I can truly rely on you but you just have this invisible wall up. One second it feels like I gotten a little bit farther through the wall by then I realize I was digging with a invisible spoon."
Loki looked a bit confused. "Weird analogy," she backtracked. "But what I'm trying to say is I have to learn more about you in order to know whether I like you or not. So right now my answer is 'sort of.'"
"You just want to learn more about me?" Loki confirmed. Poppy nodded. "Then prepare to know everything single thing about me by the end of the day." Poppy grinned, "I look forward to it Loki Frost."
