When we told my father what had happened, he was very confused.

"So, let me get this straight." He sighed. "You are the princess, and you ran away from home to our farm because…" He trailed off, dumbfounded.

"Because my father was making me learn about some stupid type of ancient technology." Zelda huffed.

"What sort of technology?" He inquired. My father loved to research ancient technology.

"Dad, let her talk!" I said, pulling on his sleeve.

"And if you still don't believe I'm the princess," She rummaged around in her little bag and pulled out something shiny. It was a little golden tiara. My father gasped.

"Well, if you escaped, the King is probably very worried. We'd better get you back." She scowled but nodded. "Also, we might want to be kind. After all, he did give us this land, so…"

"I'll bake scones!" I shouted. Aryll and my father both laughed. Zelda perked up a little also. I got the ingredients out and started to bake, Zelda at my side watching my hands move fluently.

The palace's front entryway was blocked by two guards.

"Hello, Ramelia."' Zelda walked up to the female guard on the right. The guard looked down, startled.

"The princess is back!" She shouted. Someone came running through the gates and stopped at the sight of us.

"Zelda!" The king called out. He looked bedraggled and worried, but when Zelda ran to him, his expression melted into content. "Zelda!" He murmured again.

"Daddy! I'm sorry I ran away, I just…" She wiped her eyes. "My friend saved me!" She pointed at me. The king stepped forward. He reached out a hand, and I shook it.

"My name is Link." I said, softly.

"Well, Link. It's a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for saving my daughter," He smiled. "Is this your father?" He asked, looking up at him.

"Yes,"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Arn, Link's father." My dad said. The King had tears in his eyes.

"Thank you," He whispered. I held my arm out holding the basket of scones. The King laughed and took it from me.

"Why thank you! These smell delicious!" He boomed. We all smiled.

"Link, do you want to see the castle from the inside?" Zelda said shyly.

"Sure. Is that okay dad? Aryll?" They both nodded and Zelda grabbed my hand, bolting across the bridge.
