Angel sighed for what seemed like the millionth time since her father had left on his journey. before Angel could handle her father being gone but the sight of her mother's crying face when he left broke her heart, the guards, knights and servants noticed the princesses heart becoming cold and withdrawn so they decided to do something about it before Angel hurt someone or herself.
It had been five months since Link had left, Angel sat on the stone wall of the balcony, one leg hanging in the wind while the other was bent so her chin touched her knee, Angel's blond hair had grown again and sat close to the bottom of her spine, blowing a few blond locks out of her face Angel stared into the distance past Castle town towards Hyrule fields, but she couldn't spot her father or Epona, sighing again Angel place her forehead on her knee and took a deep breath.
A few guards littered the balcony all staring at the young princess with sad faces, "Young Highness, The Queen requests your presence in the throne room" Angel looked up at the message bearer and sighed again while pulling her leg back up and over the wall pushing herself off of the wall Angel walked over the messenger, the guards bowed showing their respects to her as she followed the young male "what does The Queen wish my presence for?" the male looked at Angel's back "my apologies Young Highness, that I do not know" Angel nodded as she walked down the stairs that lead to the Throne room.
Upon entering Angel saw several men bowing at her Mother, walking towards her Throne which was beside her Mothers but a few steps behind it to show that her Mother was above her in the Royal Hierarchy.
As Angel approached The Queen, Queen Zelda of Hyrule she bowed towards her, Angel's blond hair fell in front of her face but Angel ignored it that's when she noticed the eyes looking at her from behind and that her Mother had completely ignored her as she looked at the entrance to the Throne room, standing up straight Angel turned and saw a tall muscular male walking towards them Epona's Horse Call in his hands.
Angel's mind raced with thoughts of her father as she ignored the men around her and ran towards the muscular male, "Colton, that Horse Call where did you get it?" the tall male Colton looked down at Angel a frown marrying his features and he knelt on one knee in front of her "Young Highness forgive us, we took our eyes away from our Lord for a second and he was gone, only the Horse Call was left, we searched the surrounding area but there was no sight of him" Angel nodded as she took the beloved item from Colton's hands.
Turning to her Mother, Angel saw her stood up from her Throne looking displeased with her bowing towards her Mother again, Angel quickly made her way towards her Throne, Once Angel sat down she took in the sight before her before her stood all types of men young and elderly.
"Please Lords excuse my child, she doesn't know her place today, In place of my King who is not here at present I ask for you all to consider your eldest sons for a betrothal to our Princess, Princess Angel of Hyrule" Angel looked at her Mother but didn't say anything as Zelda sat down each clan introduced themself.
On the far right stood a medium built male with a muscular young male behind him "We would Like to introduce our self to you Our Highness, My name is Lord Naroh Zheitk and this is my eldest son Ignis Zheitk, My son has fought many a foe in his time and we are assured he is a suitable candidate" Zelda nodded as did Angel.
Angel looked down at the Horse call that sat in her hands tears gathered in the corner in her eyes but she wiped it away trying to concentrate on the men in front of her, looking to the left Angel saw a small plump male with a small skinny male next to him, "My name is Lord Zart Anarvi and this is my eldest son Daphne Anarvi" Angel nodded to each male there were four clans in total the Zheitk, Anarvi, Vosterku and Izayzel Zelda stood up again and said "we shall hold a games only the eldest born can enter and the Princess shall decided the challenge" Zelda looked at Angel expectantly Angel stood from her Throne "We choose Archery" the clans nodded looking slightly worried, "Very well the games will happen when Our Lord and King returns from his travels so My Lords please if you could wait in the chambers we have provided for your stay here in Hyrule".
All of the Lords and their sons nodded. As soon as they were gone Zelda turned to Angel "how dare you be disrespectful Angel, they are very important people and your disregarded them" The guards in the Throne room looked away as the Queen and Princess argued which was becoming a regular thing in the Castle "Mother I don't want to be betrothed, especially to people I don't know and how long do you wish to keep them here you heard Colton, Dad is missing" Zelda scoffed "your Father has used that trick before so he doesn't have to come home, I'm sure he's tucked up in that stupid tower of his at Lake Hylia" Angel clutched the Horse Call as she looked at the floor "Your wrong, I know something is not right" Zelda sighed "Angel I know it's hard not seeing your Father all of the time but you have to get over it".
Tears flooded Angel's eyes, warm salty tears ran down Angel's cheeks, holding in a sob Angel glared at her Mother "I HATE YOU" Angel ran from the throne room up to her room leaving an upset Zelda behind. Zelda sat in her Throne silent tears escaped her eyes as she whispered to herself "I know you hate me Angel, I know you love your Father more than me and i can never hate you for it, I love him to, but he can't see that".
