He looked at the marble floor while Cain was busy chatting with the tailor. He didn't perk up when he called for him to get fitted into the wedding dress. But he did perk up when Cain grabbed his arm tightly.

Floyd quickly snapped out of his depressive gaze, shaking with every step towards the tailor. The tailor notices how injured Floyd is and gives him a pitiful look.

Cain kisses his hand goodbye and walks out the door.

'Finally' Floyd thought. He quickly wiped the hand that Cain kissed on the shirt that Cain gave him. Floyd then turns his attention to the tailor, who still is giving him a pitiful look.

The tailor notices that he was starting to get annoyed that she wasn't saying anything and finally introduced herself when she started measuring his body.

"Sorry about earlier, my name is Rose Plum" she says, hoping Floyd could excuse her behavior.

"That's a nice name" he said while looking at the wall. He goes back to staring at the wall until he felt the soft fabric of his wedding dress go around his waist.

"Sorry about that! I'll give you a warning next time!" Rose Plum exclaims, staring downwards in embarrassment.

"It's fine, just unexpected"

A few minutes go by in silence and Cain walks back in. "Do any adjustments need to be made on the dress?" He asked, needing answers before The wedding day.

"Nope, no adjustments, surprisingly!" She exclaimed out of surprise.

"Just in time for tomorrow i see"

That surprises Floyd. "What do you mean tomorrow?" He exclaims, wondering if there is enough time to escape before it's too late.

"You didn't tell him?" Rose Plum says, staring at him with a hint of annoyance at the fact that he didn't at least tell him about the date of the wedding.

"It slipped through my mind, so sorry about that darling" he said smoothly. Floyd looks at Cain with sadness in his eyes. Cain notices this and says "Darling don't give me that look" he pushes the chunk of hair that's covering his face, "I'm doing all of this out of love" he finished, gazing into Floyd's eyes.

'Out of love my ass'

"So you guys are going to tell us where Floyd is at and MAYBE we will let you guys go, but not without being banished from pop village" branch says, glaring holes through the bars of the cells.

"For the last time, he is at a place that is FAR away from pop village and the woods all together, but you guys aren't taking our word for it" Lucky exclaims, glaring back at the group.

"I feel like they might be telling the truth.." Poppy says, looking at them with some sort of hope.

"We could give them a truth serum"

The group stares at John Dory like he is some sort of genius. "John Dory, you need to use your brain more often, you might've just got us in the right direction!" Clay says, this moment being the first time he's actually happy this week.

"Why are you guys acting like I don't do smart things?" John Dory says, looking back at the group with a confused look on his face.

"Because you don't do things that are considered smart!" His brothers yell out, laughing playfully afterwards.

"Well damn"

They all turn their attention to the current prisoners, their looks of playfulness turn into distain quickly when they look at the group inside the cell.

"Ahem, anyways... let's get some truth serum" Branch exclaims quickly.

"Okay, this truth serum will make-" Branch gets cut off by Creek mocking him. "Will make all of us tell the truth, we get it" Creek mocks.

The girls snicker at this but quickly stop when Branch glares at them.

"Just take it"

They all take a vial of the truth serum and take a sip.

"Where is Floyd?"

"At Barligon" Lucky immediately says, the potion taking control immediately.

"Do you guys know where it's at?"

"Yes!" Acacia says this quickly due to the potion.

"Do you guys know who took him if it wasn't you guys?"

"It was Cain who took him!" Creek yells.

The room goes silent for a few minutes.

"What do you guys know about Cain?"

"He is the son of the king!"

"Is there a map that can be used?"

"no! You need to remember the path to Barligon"

Poppy sits down next to the cell and asks them an important question.

"Will you guys promise to cooperate if I said I will give you guys a chance to redeem yourselves if you guys show us where 'Barligon' is?"

"Wait Poppy are you seriously trusting them right now?" Branch exclaims, looking at her with disbelief.

"They're our only chance at finding him Branch" Poppy responds, looking at branch with a warm look on her face, that reassured him that he could trust her.

"Yeah we could cooperate!" Lucky says, speaking for all of her siblings.

"Great! Do we need to know anything about this place before we go out to find this place?" Viva asked.

"The guards are STRONG, they have the most skilled trolls protecting the kingdom, so we need to keep an eye out for them" Lucky responds.

"Is that all?" Clay asks, having a feeling in his bones that there is more to know about.

"There definitely is! I'll tell you guys everything when we get going!" Lucky says, skipping out of the cell that branch opened.

The group grab everything they need before heading out to save Floyd.

(I started the first half early in the morning and the last half in the afternoon. Hope you guys enjoyed this! I have something special planned for Floyd in the next part! I also might not be able to post the next part due to thanksgiving, but I can try to! Ciao!)
