Dark Link: So... should I be scared about this new chapter Vaati12?

No. Trust me. You don't have to be.

No I won't. Yesterday Dark Link k-

Chapter 1

The Princess

The servants in Ganondorf's castle were busy at work. Much busier than usual actually. Their master had decided to throw a ball. No matter what he told them the reasons were they all knew it was so he could gain the trust of the Twili and Hylian kings. Dark Link was the only one doing absolutely nothing. The reason for this was because the shadow had already finished all his work, and since he lacked orders at the moment he'd decided to sit on the windowsill and do some reading. Reading was one of the things Dark prided himself on, since he was the only servant in this castle that knew how to. Ganondorf never bothered to teach his servants how to read. To him they were all meaningless and stupid. However, Dark Link had been much too curious to pass up the opportunity of reading, and after months of listening to people talk, matching the sounds to the letters, and who knows how much more struggle, the dark hero had taught himself how to read. He hadn't learned how to read in his head though. Currently, he was reading a book about romance. It was strange, he thought, to be reading about something he was forbidden to feel.

"Her heart sped up and a fluttering feeling filled her chest as she looked into his eyes. The feeling of love was truly amazing." Dark Link softly read aloud to himself. He stared at the lines for a moment frowning. "I guess I'll just take your word for it." He decided that he'd had enough of this for a bit and, marking his page, put down the book. The shadow wandered the halls of the castle. It wouldn't make sense to find his siblings because Dark Zelda was teaching Shadow about how to interact with guests. There was no one else who was interesting here. He decided that he would go out into the grounds. Or maybe find his master and receive new orders. No. Definitely not that.

"Maybe I'll just sleep until the ball." he thought as he gave a tired yawn. Deciding that this was in fact the best idea, since he'd probably get in trouble for going into the grounds without permission (last time he'd done that Ganondorf had thought he was trying to escape and punished him), Dark Link made his way to his room to sleep.

_Time Skip_

The ballroom was packed to the brim with guests. It seemed that every noble in all of Hyrule had come to attend the ball. The large ornate room was brightly lit, around the large dance floor were tables covered with white table cloths and appetizers, there was also soft music playing in the background as the guests talked amongst themselves. Dark Zelda, who was currently dressed in a black waitress's outfit, was directing the guests to seats, Shadow Link, dressed like a waiter, was helping his older sister and was being doted on by the noblewomen, and Dark Link, who was dressed like a butler, was by the door greeting guests. It made him sick to have to smile and greet each of these stupid guests. He was used to staying silent most of the time, however his orders were to greet guests and talk to them, making sure to make Ganondorf look good. The most annoying part of this ball, Dark Link thought with a mental snarl, was the fact that some of the guests had brought their children. The teenage girls were giggling and pointing at him. His pointed ears had caught the words: hot, keep, and buy. He ignored them though, thanking the goddesses that his master would never let anyone purchase him, for it had taken too many years to discipline him and make sure he was miserable, that it would be risky to send him to a new master that might make him happy. As he stood in the doorway Dark Link saw his master out of corner of his eye. He was a good actor, acting as if he actually cared about all these people, laughing at their jokes, and complementing them. After what seemed an eternity the guests stopped coming. With relief Dark Link had started to close the door, however right then he heard footsteps and six people walked in. Ganondorf had spotted them. Here were the guests of honor. The Twili and Hylian Royal Families. The Hylian King had brought his daughter, Princess Zelda, who was wearing an elaborate pink and purple ball gown. Dark Link had been told about her and a smirk played on his lips, the rumors of how pretty the princess was seemed to be true. The Twili King had also brought three children with him. At first Dark Link thought they were servants, until he saw that they all had small golden crowns on their heads and wore fancy clothing. Ganondorf, excusing himself from a woman he had been talking to walked up to the six people with a small smile. Dark Link stepped back, allowing his master to walk past him.

"Good evening Lord Daphnes and Lord Yūgure." He said politely. "I'm honored that you have come."

Yūgure, the Twili king gave Ganondorf a curt nod. Daphnes smiled and shook Ganondorf's outstretched hand. Something violet caught Dark's eye, looking over at it he saw that it was the youngest of the twili children's sparkling violet eyes. She wasn't that young. The girl looked about 15. Her large violet eyes bore into him curiously. For some reason he blushed. The young princess tugged slightly on her father's sleeve. The Twilight King leaned down to listen as she whispered something gesturing at Dark Link. King Yūgure then quietly said something to Ganondorf who looked at him. His master gestured him over. Dark nervously walked over to the two kings.

"Lord Yūgure's daughter has requested that you spend the evening with her Dark Link. Respond to every order she gives and make sure to please her in every way possible." his master commanded.

Dark Link nodded. The young princess smiled, walked out from behind her father and took Dark Link's hand. She led him away from the group to one of the tables. She turned around to face him, and he was surprised to see she was grinning.

"Thank you for agreeing to spend the evening with me. I was afraid I'd be at the mercy of my siblings." she giggled. "Pardon me. Where are my manners. My name is Princess Evangeline. You may call me Eva if you'd like."

Dark Link stayed silent, simply looking at her in shock. Never had anyone of higher status been so nice to him. Usually all nobles who knew what he was were cold and cruel to him, treating him like an object rather than a servant. Evangeline looked at him worriedly.

"Is something wrong?" she asked.

"N-no my lady. Nothing is wrong." he said. "My name is Dark Link."

"That's a cool name." Eva giggled. "Come on. Show me around the castle." she pulled him through the crowd. This was going to be a really stressful evening.


You didn't have to cover my mouth!

Dark: You were going to tell them without my consent.

I don't need your consent.

Dark: Yes you do.
