Secret Love

Ch. 2

The King's guard showed Link and Zelda to the throne and left them to discuss with the King himself.

Zelda worried what her father would say about her secret relationship with Link, though he was the best knight the kingdom knew.

Link greeted the King with a bow and removal of his trusty green cap, while Zelda merely stood solemnly. He noticed her unusual actions, and acknowledged her gently.

Zelda informed him of her relationship with the kindred Link, only to receive a reply of silence. The King seemed dumbfounded by this information, as if it were an impossibility.

He explained to Zelda the importance of her marrying royalty only, and that Link was not considered royalty so she could not be with him, as she was soon to be Queen. She protested, but to no avail. Link put an end to the conversation by backing down from the relationship and retreating to his chamber alone.

Zelda fled the throne room and left toward her chamber. She wept, knowing it would never be possible to be with Link after her crowning.

Link was devastated that something like this could happen to their relationship. He had thought that he and Zelda would never be apart, always remain together. But Link was wrong, and now he was forced to continue with his knight's work knowing that Zelda and he wouldn't be together at the end of each day. He knew he had to keep up with his work, but it would be increasingly hard without Zelda...

Zelda was finding her routine extremely difficult to concentrate on, as she could only think of Link. She knew she must do something about her terrible state of mind, but depression got the better of her. She knew she would have to devise a plan for Link and herself to be together again, or she would fall apart. She decided to take a stroll with Impa, her nursemaid, down by the lake and discuss her options.
