A little side project of mine.

'Your royal highness, I, Linebeck VI, only son and heir of Linebeck V, proud owner of the Linebeck Trading Company, the largest (and only) trading company in New Hyrule, humbly beg your permission to court your heir and daughter, Princess Zelda II of New Hyrule.
When I first laid eyes on your lovely daughter, I knew at once that we were meant for each other...'

King Daphnes Nohansen II of New Hyrule couldn't bring himself to read the rest. Linebeck the fifth and his son were, altogether, good men. A little... peculiar perhaps and a little tiring on the nerves, but, all in all, good men. But...

'Zelda marrying Linebeck...

Linebeck on the throne...!

Linebeck the seventh!

A grand child that looks just like his father...

Dear goddesses!'

As much though as he may have wanted though, King Daphnes really had no reason to refuse his request. Peculiar though father and son were, the Linebecks were one of the richest and most influential families in all of New Hyrule. And sadly, Linebeck the sixth wasn't the worst candidate so far who sought to marry Zelda. Neither as a husband, nor as a king.

Unfortunately, King Daphnes knew of no one truly suitable to rule his kingdom; aside from Zelda of course.

"Wait..." King Daphnes sat back, and slowly stroked his beard, "If no one is suited for the kingship, then I might just as well select a suitor who will be a good husband to Zelda..."

After all, the king loved his daughter dearly and wanted her to have a happy marriage.

"My council and I would just have to educate him until he makes a good king..."

A thin smile spread on King Daphnes' face.

"I am starting to like this idea..." mused the king, "Now... How to test which suitors truly care for Zelda and which do not..."

Soon, a plan began to form in King Daphnes' mind.

Well, what do you think?
