Illia was walking through Ordon supervising everything. For the past two years, Ordon had become more populated and her father, the mayor, couldn't handle everything alone anymore. So Illia spent the time helping him with simple things like checking on Fado, who still couldn't find a new goat herder, evaluating the crops, and seeing how Malo was doing with managing Malo Mart.

During her work, Illia began to think about her old friend, Link, and was wondering how he was doing. She really missed him and life wasn't the same since he left.

After finishing everything for the day, Illia decided to visit Ordon Spring so she could be alone and deep in thought.

"I wonder what Link's up to," thought Illia to herself.

"You still miss him, don't you?" said a voice who Illia found out was Rusl after turning around.

"How could I not," asked Illia.

"To be honest," said Rusl, "Most of us didn't expect him to leave but I did."

"Really," asked Illia.

"After everything he went through to save you and the others as well as Hyrule, there was no way he could return to the life he once had," explained Rusl.

"You may be right Rusl," said Illia, "He did look a lot different by the time I regained my memory."

"Anyway," said Rusl, "Your father wants to see you." "It's for something important."

"I'll be there soon," said Illia.

"I'll tell him that," said Rusl who then left Illia alone.

A few minutes later, Illia left the spring and returned to her home. When she did, she saw her father reading what seemed to be a letter.

"Illia, please sit down," said Bo as soon as he noticed his daughter had arrived.

"What did you need me for father," asked Illia once she took a seat.

"This morning, I received a letter," explained Bo, "And it says that there's an upcoming ball at the castle in three days with an important announcement from the Queen." "The letter also says that I should pick someone from this village to attend the ball."

"Are you saying that you want me to go to this ball," asked Illia.

"Yes," answered Bo, "I think this ball will be a good experience for you and you could use a break from helping me with the village."

"I would be honored to go," said Illia.

"I thought you would say that," said Bo, "There will be a carriage coming here tomorrow morning that will take you to Castle Town." "The trip should take a day so you should have extra time to relax and enjoy your visit."

"Maybe I should see Telma then," suggested Illia who was thinking about her friend who owned the bar.

"Not a bad idea," said Bo, "Also, I think you should have this," and as he said that, he showed Illia a trunk.

"What's in there," asked Illia.

"It's a dress that belonged to your mother," answered Bo," I think it would be best if you wore it at the ball."

"Ok," said Illia.

"Alright," said Bo, "Since it's getting late, Why don't you go to bed now so you can be fully rested for tomorrow."

"I'll do that father," said Illia and she went to her room to get ready for bed.
