Chapter 3 (Poppy's Side)

Branch aggresively pulls Poppy's hand, yelping in response.
"And remember, if you break the deal, ill make sure you regret it" He whispers onto Poppy's ear.

She gulped in fear, "O-Okay"

"Good" Branch replied, and gave Poppy a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I-" Poppy held her cheek, where Branch kissed her.
"Just some little gift. Not gonna lie, your really soft and tasty" He licked his lips, approaching Poppy slowly. She slowly backs away in fear until,

"Yo Branch, dad wa-" a female voice suddenly opened the door, making Branch and Poppy stop and looked at her.
"Oh- am I interrupting..?" She asked.

Branch groaned, "Yes, you are, Barb" he stood up straight as Barb crossed her hands
Poppy looked confused, and of course Branch noticed.

"Poppy this is Barb, my younger sister" He pointed his thumb at Barb.

Barb slightly raised her hand for a quick wave at Poppy, "Sup"

Poppy replied with a shy wave.

"And Barb this is Poppy, my new girlfriend" Branch continued, giving Poppy a wink.

"Wait.. What?!"

Poppy gulped.
"What? Its totally fine," Branch exclaimed.

"Yeah but, You just met her few hours ago!" Barb yelled.
Branch huffed. "So what does dad want again?" He asked, completely ignoring what she just said.

Barb rolled her eyes in disbelief, "Whatever, dad just wanted your presence. Thats all he said"

"I can bring Poppy right?" Branch held Poppy's hand making her slightly blush.
Poppy snap out of it!

"Like I said, He gave me no other information so I dont really care" Barb replied, leaving the room after.

Poppy let out an exhale, not knowing she was holding her breath the whole time.

"Welp, you heard her, lets go" Branch led the way, letting go off her hands.

Poppy nodded, following him.

After few minutes walking onto a looong hall, they finally arrived to where only Branch was supposed to come.
But before they meet his dad, he held Poppy's hand before entering.
He looked at her and nodded, opening the door.

"So, what do you want?" Branch asked to his dad, King Thrash.
"First, may I ask who this is?" Thrash pointed at Poppy.
Her eyes shifted and slightly sweating.

"Oh, apologies. Let me introduce to you to my girlfriend, Poppy" Branch replied, and still holding her hands.
"And how have you two met?" Thrash asked another question.

"Its a long story, and again. What do you want" Branch started getting impatient.
And Poppy was just there, staying silent.

"Well its good for you to finally have one," Thrash nodded in acknowledgement.

"Cause ive been thinking about giving you the throne" He continued

"Wait, what?" Branch widens his eyes.
"Why? I-I mean im not complaining but-" He stopped for a moment, looking at his sides.

While Poppy was just, there.

"Barb deserves the throne! I always skip the meetings, I keep being foolish and everything!" Branch exclaimed.
Yes, he may want to be on the throne, but he doesnt want their people having a failure as their king.

"You may have a point, but ive received countless thank you's about you"

"Those 'thank you's' are nothing! They need a responsible ruler unlike me!" Branch raised his voice.
He growled and turned around aggressively.

"Lets go, Poppy" Branch pulled his hand that Poppy was holding, making her slightly yelp.

"Branch! Come back here!"
