Although Melinda thought she had been safe in her room, she had been wrong. Ganondorf had been walking to his room after cleaning up the kitchen and had noticed that Melinda's door was ajar. He decided to stop and sneak a peek hoping for pleasure. Instead he had come upon something better. She was sitting in the room with another man and he recognized the man as the thief from a few nights ago. They had been kissing and Ganondorf felt rage that a lowly thief could seduce her instead of himself.
Ganondorf felt a plot boiling in his head. Maybe he wouldn't have to drug Melinda after all. All it would take was a little leverage and she could be persuaded quite easily.
Melinda washed the dishes in the kitchen from the morning's breakfast when she heard Ganondorf come in and offer to dry the dishes for her. Melinda had shrugged and handed him a plate.
"So Melinda," Ganondorf began "have you ever loved someone?" Melinda ignored this and kept washing. "Someone you didn't think you deserved" Melinda froze but shook it off again and continued. "Kissed any good kings lately" Melinda nearly dropped the plate she was washing "or perhaps any thieves" this time she dropped the plate when she was handing it to him, but Ganondorf caught it and smiled.
"No" Melinda replied calmly. Suddenly she felt herself spin around and come face to face with Ganondorf.
"Enough, Melinda" Ganondorf growled, "I saw you last night kissing that rat. What does he have that I don't? Why on earth would you pick a thief over a king?" Melinda struggled to escape but found his arms, on either side of her, blocking her only exits.
He leaned in and whispered "Now you listen closely Melinda. Either you put in a good word for me or I'll put in a bad one for you. Got it?" Melinda stared in fear and quickly nodded "I would hate to see your heart broken because you made the wrong choice" Then he leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips. Melinda struggled and splashed water on his face. Ganondorf jumped back and glared at her "One day Melinda, you will be mine" and with that he stormed out of the kitchen leaving Melinda staring after him in sheer terror.
