Chapter 2: zelda's arrival
Link kept having nightmares about that ghostly figure since the first encounter. But the scenes in his dreams changed and he dreamed about princess Zelda. In those dreams he would be really close to her. Within reach he would touch her face. But every time he tried to she would break to pieces. He would scream in horror yelling what did I do! In the dream he would get on his knees and cry once again as if he were a child. That's when he would wake up sweating.
In the morning
Link prepared breakfast like always. He sat down and right when he was going to dig in there was a knock on the door.
"Sir Link! Please open up! We got you an important job!" yelled the knights from outside. Link immediately feared it was the men from the princess Malon. He breathed in deeply and opened the door. An unexpected surprise was in his door. A satchel and a princess was standing right there on his platform. The princess was frowning.
"Sorry Sir Link. I just came to deliver princess Zelda to your door because we need you to take care of and keep her safe for three years. The castle is under remodelation. After being attacked by the other kingdoms" the knight looked at Link with concerned eyes because Link looked like he wanted to faint
"Oh of course." Link stuttered over his own words and the knights picked up the princess's bags and invited themselves inside to put her stuff inside. Then they bowed and left. Link stood in the doorway watching them go. Princess Zelda just stood there looking out to the platform looking towards her kingdom. She was wearing a casual blue dress. She looks beautiful thought Link.
"Umm, my lady would you like to come in?" Princess Zelda took that as an invitation to come inside. She went inside and looked around. Link was embarrassed and he knew he couldn't afford as much as the princess but this will have to do. Link watched her take a seat and put her hands in her face in the position she was in it looked like she was crying.
"My princess don't feel bad we will have fun I promise." Link looked at princess Zelda hoping she would just look up at him and smile for once. She looked up and Link smiled at her. Princess Zelda smiled back and tears had formed in her eyes. She nodded as in saying okay, and gave him a weak smile and looked down again. Link went back to his table and realized.
"Milady have you eaten yet?" He looked at her and she held up her hand signaling that it was okay. She wasn't hungry Link felt terrible when he finished and washed his plate and he was surprised to see Zelda looking at him. Zelda smiled and tucked her hair behind her ear and looked back out the window. Link felt himself blushing and his body felt hot under his tunic and he looked down.
"Milady is there something in my face I must be aware of?" Zelda shook her head no and stood up. Link understood why she did that she wanted to go outside. Link opened his door.
"Let's go for a walk Milady?" Princess Zelda smiled and nodded going out the door first. Link remembered he had a ladder and she probably needed help getting down. He opened his mouth to say something and he saw princess Zelda jump down. Link ran to the edge afraid she hurt herself but she didn't. Link noticed that her land made no observed her every move. she moved gracefully and she studied her environment and breathed in like it was her first time outside. Link got down still amazed at what she had done. She twirled and her dress went along with her. The princess looked at Link and bowed.
