The slight breeze that swept through the opened balcony sent a chill down the Hylian's back. In the land where he stood, he was the only Hylian, the rest were of Twili. And since the Hylians had banished the Twili to this dark realm, an ample amount of resentment has flourished between the races. Hearing the chatter of the Twili from outside made him sweat – sooner or later, he would have to walk out there and speak to the large mass. Any other occasion, he would be fine, but under the circumstances, he greatly feared his life.

A light dweller, in the Realm of Twilight? No, it's a ludicrous idea; irrational, preposterous, unreasonable – the idea was simply crazy, never to happen. Yet, there he stood, preparing to make a speech to the Twili who looked at him as the oppressor. All except for the queen, of course, as she was his new wife. She was one of the few who didn't see him as the crude being like his ancestors were. Now, he had to introduce himself to his new subjects as their king, the light dweller. He was expecting much negative feedback. Threats. Lashing out. The need to lock all entrances to the palace. It was all highly probable that most was going to happen to him.

All was expected to begin within the next few minutes. The queen stood in her balcony, speaking down to the mass below her. "Greetings, my citizens of the Twilit Realm! I've been told that you all were informed of my week's absence of recent. And now that I have returned, I am here to inform you all that I will now go as the Twilight Queen. Over my leave, I have been married to the man whom you will call your King. Thus, I shall introduce him, your new king, the hero of twilight, Link." And with a quick sling of her arm, she had directed the attention of the crowd to the doorway behind her.

Taking a deep breath, the blond took a step forward, out of the shelter of the castle, and out into the crisp air above the Twili. Attempting to seem as welcoming as possible, he greeted the mass with a grin and waved his hand gently in the air. The clamor began strong, but fell short rather quickly. The roars and cheers turned to nothing. The waving hands halted, falling back to the Twili's sides.

Link took in a breath and his eyes flickered from the mass of Twili, to Midna, and back. Still, he kept a smile a grin on his face, as it was best to please his new subjects. However, his friendly appearance faded as shouts and curses were slung up at Link. Threats of all kinds were thrown, mostly ones of death; in fear, Midna reached for the blonde's hand and dragged him back into the castle with her.

Releasing him, Midna peered out the window, watching as the small army began to calm the crowd. Her attention was taken away as she heard a thud against the floor. Whipping her head around, she saw Link was leaned against the wall, in a small ball on the floor, head in his knees.

Kneeling down beside him, the Twili rested her hand upon his shoulder. "Link, it's alright. You can calm down. They're not going to hurt you or me," she spoke in a soft voice, attempting to calm her obviously panicking husband.

Lifting his head, Links' gaze barely met with the queen's. "I'm sorry I caused all of this, Middy."

"Queen Midna! This is absurd!" The delegate shouted, slamming his fist on his desk. "We cannot have a light dweller be our king! They are the oppressors! We cannot have a minority rule the majority!"

Standing from her seat and pointing to Link, Midna's voiced cracked. "Well… he doesn't have to have power! He is still my husband, our king, but in this office. No power. If that suits you well enough."

Although disappointed with the proposal, Link nodded, approving of the idea. He knew it was for the best of the ruling party if he were to step down. If the Twili ruled their own, the lesser the chance of uprising there would be, rather than if he were to take any position in the governmental system. It would end the best for Midna, as well. He didn't want to get his wife into any further disputes with the existing advisors.

While only a few of the advisors nodded their heads, the twelve gathered into a small huddle, the remnants of small discussion lingering above their heads. Giving small glances back at the Queen, the eldest of them broke free while the rest aligned themselves at his side. Clearing his throat, the advisor knocked at his chest.

"We approve of the proposal," He spoke.

With a sigh of relief, Midna grinned back at Link, who was only pleased they didn't banish him.

"However, we ask that you follow a set of rules. Thus, not to upset the Twili community, due to the fact that Light and Shadow are not supposed to mix, and yet, we have you two."

With a sheepish grin, Link hid his head under his hands whilst joining Midna at her side.

Glancing over at the other council members, the lead took initiative to speak. "We may or may not add rules over time, as these were created only moments ago." Taking a breath, the Twili began to read the first obligation, "Although, titled king, the light dweller will have no executive action amongst our army.

"I can live by that," Link whispered. In all honestly, he didn't want to rule an army of Twili who held weapons and hated light dwellers.

With a nod of his head, the delegate continued to read down his list. "Next, as the prophecies have stated that light and shadow cannot mix, the council has forbid you two of performing acts of love in the public."

"And third, as of now, there shall be no offspring of you two. We cannot have a beast of light and shadow. If it were to happen, it would result in the termination of the child, and the banishment of both of you." The elder glared at both Link and Midna. "Am I understood?" Both of them nodded in response to him. "Good. The advising council will now dismiss itself. Have a glowing evening, Queen Midna."

Once the Twili Queen was confirmed that the room was just to herself and Link, she grabbed his hand, and purposely began to exit, retreating back to their suite. "Link, we need to talk."

"I'm listening." Link raised his brows, glancing at Midna with some concern.

Once they reached their room, they quickly entered, and the queen shut the door behind them. "Sit down. This is rather… life-changing important, and it regards one of the rules that we were just given."

"What about it?" Link pulled Midna and himself onto their bed as he wrapped his arms around her. They laid on their sides, facing one another.

"We may have already broken one." Midna sighed.

"What do you mean, we haven't done anything?" Link furrowed his brows, also raising his voice in confusion.

"The third one, Link." The queen sighed, lowering her gaze from the blond.

Silent for only a moment, Link took a breath and spoke again. "When they say offspring, they mean children, right?" His question only to be confirmed with a simple nod of the queen's head; following, with a sigh, he laid his head back and closed his eyes.

Copying Link, Midna closed her eyes as well. She didn't bother to open them when she heard the blond shuffle slightly on the sheets. But then she felt his burning gaze direct at her stomach. Blinking once or twice, Midna grinned slightly.

"Link?" she whispered, leaning her head closer to his. "It's only a maybe, okay? Don't get your hopes up." Her grin faded as her voice grew melancholy. It was obvious to her that they both had a shared dream.

With a sigh, Link shrugged. "I know, I know. It just, I really hope it's real… It would make me so happy."

Snuggling closer to the Hylian, Midna planted her lips softly on his forehead. "I feel the same way. But, we'd have to watch out for the council members. I don't want him or her to end up dead."

Tilting his head up to look at his wife, Link threw off a smug grin. "They won't. I'll make sure of that. I'm the Hero of Twilight, nobody is going to hurt you, and whoever else may be in there." Wrapping his arms around Midna, he held her close while resting his lips in the crook of her neck.

While she giggled several times, entangling her fingers in his blond hair, Midna still whispered with a chilled tone. "I'm still scared about it, Link. There's only so much you and I can do."
