A/N: So, this is where the Breath of the Wild and Link to the Past lore comes into play...Link's horseless carriage is built using the same technology as those horrific Guardians, out of the same materials as the Guardian Beasts, with wheels instead of legs. The weapon systems and Ice Rod are from LttP. I like to think of this horseless carriage as a prototype made thousands of years before the Guardians were built. Enjoy chapter 10!
CHAPTER 10
The date for the Royal Wedding had finally arrived. Link and Malon showed up to The Temple of Time in the finest carriage in Hyrule to bring the newly wed royals back to the castle after the ceremony. Zelda paid two hundred rupees for the ride after the reception, which was held in the castle courtyard, leaving Link a 100 rupee tip.
"Link, thank you so much for this. The wedding was perfect, thanks to you. We are ever so grateful. Please, take these rupees as a sign of our gratitude,"
"Thank you, Zelda. I hope you two have a very happy marriage," Link smiled.
"Oh, I think we will," Zelda replied, then whispered to Malon, "Honestly, he's a fantastic lover, very kind-hearted, and reminds me a lot of your husband," She winked.
"I'm glad to hear that, but those pants he wore during the ceremony tell me that Link is a lot bigger in the meat department," Malon whispered back with a smirk.
"The size of the sword doesn't matter when the wielder is an expert knife fighter," Zelda smirked back, making Malon laugh.
"What are you two talking about?" Link inquired, approaching the ladies with the new Prince of Hyrule.
They replied in unison. "Nothing!"
Link shrugged as he looked at Prince Azastan. "Women...the only people who can talk about nothing,"
"Ha ha, I KNOW! Hey, Link, you're a pretty cool guy. I'd love to hang out with you some more. Also, I'm curious about your ranch. Back in Alnrauf one of my hobbies was cheese making. I've had the pleasure of tasting your ranch's cheese, and butter, as well. I would love to see your operation sometime,"
"Oh, we'd love it if you would stop by for a tour!" Malon excitedly squealed.
"Excellent. I plan on enjoying married life for a couple weeks, (if you know what I mean), but yes, I will send a courier when I am ready to stop by,"
"Sounds great! We'll see you soon, then. Have a fantastic honeymoon!" Link smiled as he and Malon climbed on the carriage, ready to head back to the ranch.
"Definitely will, Link!" The Prince replied, scooping Zelda up in his arms and bridal carrying her into the castle as Link and Malon rode off.
"What's the prince like?" Malon asked Link, who had spent more time getting to know Prince Azastan during the reception.
"Well...um, first of all, and...I don't know if Zelda knows...not that it's my business if she knows anyway..."
Malon interrupted, "Spit it out, Link!"
"Prince Azastan is bisexual. He spent a good twenty minutes trying to seduce me. And honestly? The idea of having sex with him wasn't entirely off-putting," Link stated, blushing furiously.
"Ok, wow...didn't see that coming. I imagine you're going to want to give him the tour of the ranch? And want me to stay out of the way?" Malon accused.
"Well, I mean...he's married. It wouldn't be right. Now, a swinger situation...that would be different. However, not sure if Zelda would agree to that," Link replied thoughtfully.
"Oh Link..." Malon sighed. "Whatever am I going to do with you?"
"I've got a few ideas..." Link growled, slinging Malon over his shoulder and carrying her to the bedroom.
"AH! Put me down this instant!" Malon protested as Link got to the bedroom.
"Yeah, okay," Link replied, plopping Malon on the bed and joining her. Link stroked her hair and gently kissed her lips.
"What has gotten into you, all of a sudden?" Malon giggled.
"You're just so beautiful, and I love you. That's the only excuse I have," Link whispered.
"We should get more comfortable if we're going to continue, hmm?"
"Excellent idea. Let's get these horrible, fashionable clothes off post haste, M' lady!" Link exclaimed, jumping up and quickly removing his tunic and boots.
Malon sat up and removed her dress. "Let me take off your tights, honey," While she worked Link's tights off, he removed her bra and let it fall to her lap while she brushed it aside to the floor. Soon they were both naked.
"Ok, Link. You can join me now," Malon said seductively.
"Mmm, I'd love to," Link replied lustfully, bending over Malon in a cat-like pose and passionately kissing her and using his tongue to wrestle her tongue, before climbing onto the bed and pinning her down.
"Mmm, someone's happy to see me," Malon stated, cupping Link's erection in her hand, gently stroking it.
Link cupped Malon's breasts with both hands. "I am always happy to see you. Especially like this,"
"I'm happy to see you, too, Link. I'll be even happier when...OH GODDESS!"
Link had slid down his wife's body, still kneading her breasts gently, and parted her legs enough to get his head between her thighs, then started licking around her petals before dipping his tongue into her small opening. Link looked up at Malon, watching her face as she gripped his hair as he ravished her nether region. Suddenly, he found his face being soaked by her intense orgasm as his head was being taken captive by her thighs.
"Oh, Link...come up here...hold me..." Malon panted. Link wasted no time and stretched himself over Malon, and looked deep into her eyes.
"Hi there,"
"Oh, Link...I love you so much..." Malon kissed her husband passionately and thrust her hips upward to accept his hard member inside her. "Link...I want it...hard. Do me hard and fast!"
Not one to disappoint, Link drove his hips into hers with the passion and fury of a Death Mountain eruption. Malon grabbed Link's butt, trying to guide his tempo, but she soon gave up and decided to smack those beautiful tight globes on the upstrokes. This drove Link to the edge, and after five spankings, he buried himself to the hilt in his wife just as she had her second orgasm, and he had his first. Then he rolled off her, flipped her over on her stomach, and positioned her legs to put Malon in a downward dog position. He re-entered her from behind.
"Oh, Link! Yes! Oh, this is soooo goood...harder, Link!" Malon exclaimed.
Link pounded into her, his thighs slapping against her soft bottom as he tightly gripped her waist. After a few minutes of this, Link couldn't take much more and came deep within Malon's womb, as she rode the wave of her third orgasm.
He collapsed on top of her as they both fell into the mattress.
"Malon...I...I love you...so much..." Link panted.
"I love you too, Link...more than you could ever imagine,"
Link rolled off his wife's back and the couple faced each other.
"Link...how did I get so lucky?" Malon asked dreamily.
"I'm the lucky one, Malon. I have the most beautiful woman in all of Hyrule. I have a quiet life on a ranch in the middle of Hyrule Field, away from prying eyes and ears. This is so much more than I would have ever dreamed possible...this is what all the fighting I did all those years ago was for. I fought for this life. I fought for you. I ended up saving Hyrule, but I did it for you. I did it so I could have peace. Love. I only ever wanted your love. And now that I have it, I want to keep it. Cherish it. Forever,"
"Hold me," Malon sighed.
"Always and forever," Link replied as he hugged Malon tightly, burying his face in her cleavage as she stroked his hair.
The next day, Link and Malon started their daily chores, took care of a few customers, Link gave some lessons, Malon took some visiting ambassadors on a tour of Hyrule in the carriage with Zelda, and Link took some of the milk and butter to market. As Link was wrapping things up at the market stall, Prince Azastan appeared.
"Ah, Link. I see our women have left us to our own devices today,"
"Yep, we have a pretty busy schedule, for a couple of farmers," Link agreed.
"Even busier than us Royals, I imagine, though ours is a different sort of busy," Prince Azastan smiled.
"I suppose work is work. Whether you're running a farm or a kingdom, you still have duties and chores to attend to," Link replied thoughtfully.
"So very true. Some royal figures look down upon the common folk, but Zelda and I agree that everyone bleeds red, everyone has the same needs, everyone has desires. And really, could anyone be royalty without a kingdom to watch over? Here, let me help you with that crate...oh, never mind."
"You know, I'm not actually strong enough to lift these crates by myself. These gauntlets give me super strength. I can lift boulders five times taller than myself when I wear them. I'm not any stronger than any other Hylian, or human, like yourself, for that matter. These gauntlets are my Hyrule Kingdom. The only reason the Royal Family is so powerful, is because the Kingdom is as strong as it is. Has Zelda told you my story?" Link reasoned.
"Yes, she has filled me in on the details of your past. You have seen this kingdom fall. You know what a weak Hyrule looks like," Prince Azastan started.
Link interrupted. "No, I DON'T know what a weak Hyrule looks like. Even when I saw Castle Town overrun with Redead and in ruins, when I saw Big Poes in Hyrule Field, when I saw a ring of fire around Death Mountain, do you know what else I saw? I saw Hylians gathering together all the strength they had to survive. I saw Gorons willing to give up everything to protect their home and food source. I saw Zora frozen under ice go into hibernation mode and come back to life when the world was restored to the way the Goddesses intended it to be. I fought Ganondorf the thief as well as Ganon the monster. I defeated him with the Master Sword, which was created by the Goddesses and tempered by a Hylian hero thousands of years ago. No, Hyrule is never weak, even when its royalty fails. Just like these gauntlets are never weak, even though I am,"
"Wow, You know, I never looked at it that way, but you're absolutely right. Hyrule was strong enough to survive the darkest times when the Royal Family failed to protect it. That's something Alnrauf could learn from. I'm so very glad to be a part of this kingdom rather than be fated to rule that one,"
"What's wrong with Alnrauf?" Link asked.
"The people there are weak. They look to the Royal Family for protection when something bad happens. Everyone only thinks of themselves, and what they can get from the Royal Family. When things are bad in the Kingdom, they are very very bad. There's rioting and looting if the people aren't happy with the way things are. I don't see that ever happening in Hyrule," Prince Azastan explained.
"That's awful! No, Hyrule always sticks together, no matter how bad things get," Link agreed.
"Hey. I'm glad we had this talk. It's good to know that if I fail when I become king, you'll have my back," Prince Azastan smiled.
"Oh no...if you fail when you become King Azastan, Queen Zelda will kick your ass, and you damn well know even I couldn't save you from that!" Link smirked.
"Ok, you got me there. Hey, is that your carriage?" Prince Azastan looked towards the sound of hooves and wheels and saw a white gilded carriage slowly making its way through Castle Town.
"Yup, sure is...HI, MALON!" Link shouted.
"HI LINK! HI PRINCE AZASTAN!" Malon yelled. Zelda peeked through the window to see what the yelling was all about, then waved at the two men smiling and waving at the carriage.
"I say, what a wonderful experience this has been. This kingdom and it's people are so welcoming and peaceful. How do you maintain such propriety?" One of the Ambassadors asked.
"Oh, we don't. That's just how Hyrule is. The Hylian people stick together and take care of things throughout the kingdom as needed. Plus, we have our own Hero when things get really bad," Zelda explained.
"Ah, yes...this 'Link' person...the farmer?" another Ambassador asked.
"That's right. Link might be a farmer, but I know I can count on him to save Hyrule from any calamity that might want to harm our simple way of life here," Zelda smiled.
"This has certainly been a treat. I would love for you to visit our kingdom, as we have visited yours," the third Ambassador invited.
"Oh, I would love that! I've always wanted to see Korodai for myself! I will send you word when Azastan and I are able to visit," Princess Zelda gushed.
"Most excellent, Princess. Oh, look. We're already back at the castle,"
Malon parked the carriage just as the drawbridge lowered. She jumped off the driver's seat and opened the door facing the drawbridge.
"Princess Zelda. My lady," Malon bowed her head as she guided Princess Zelda out of the carriage.
"Thank you, Malon. I appreciate this," Zelda whispered, discretely passing a gold rupee to Malon.
"It was my pleasure," Malon whispered, pocketing the rupee discretely.
"Gentlemen," Malon bowed her head and offered her hand as each Ambassador exited the carriage.
"I say, this is a fine carriage. I wonder if we can fit one on the ship? Our own carriages pale in comparison to this one," one Ambassador commented.
Princess Zelda quickly replied, "Oh, our Royal carriages are nowhere near this nice, which is why I hired Malon to drive this one,"
"You don't say? The Link Lon Ranch must be very prosperous indeed if they can afford what the Royal Family of Hyrule cannot..."
"It's not that we can't afford carriages like this one...it's that Stoodey Baker builds so many of our carriages at a time that he doesn't put as much detail into them. This was a single carriage order, and the Royal Family has to order three at a time to get the fleet discount," Zelda clarified.
"Ah, well that makes sense, then!"
Malon interjected, "Stoodey Baker's shop is in Castle Town, if you're interested in spending 28,000 rupees on a carriage that may or may not fit on your ship,"
"Did you say...28 THOUSAND?" the three Ambassadors exclaimed in unison.
"Yep, that's how much this carriage cost. The glass windows, comfortable suspension, curtains, hubcaps and driver's cover were all extra. Worth every rupee, but you might want to make sure one will fit on your ship before you buy one," Malon smirked.
Zelda put her hand over her mouth to keep her smile hidden. She was trying desperately not to laugh at the Ambassadors' incredulous faces.
"Twenty..." Ambassador 1.
"Eight..." Ambassador 2.
"THOUSAND...rupees..." All three together.
The first Ambassador was the first to recover. "Well, I'm sold...however, that is not a decision we will be making right here, right now. We will bring up the possibility of ordering ONE carriage for the Royal Family at the next quarterly meeting when we return to Korodai. Thank you for the wonderful ride, Malon, and the tour of your Kingdom, Princess Zelda. We shall return to our chambers," The three Ambassadors headed into the castle.
"Malon, I would like to talk to you about my husband...it's rather...embarrassing..." Zelda started.
"I'm all ears! What's up?" Malon inquired.
"My husband is...bisexual...and has a crush on Link..." Zelda blushed.
"Yep, I know that. Is that all?" Malon smiled.
"Well, no, it's just that...well...I needtoborrowyourhusband'spenis," Zelda said quickly.
"Um, well, it's kind of useless unattached to him, I would imagine..." Malon thought out loud.
"No...I mean...I need a casting of it. To make a model of it..." Zelda explained.
"Hmm...intriguing..." Malon was having thoughts. Interesting thoughts.
"Yes, well, the alternative is to let Azastan and Link screw each other," Zelda stated.
"Intriguing..." Malon continued her fantasy.
"I mean, I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall..." Zelda started.
"Me neither!" Agreed Malon.
"Wait...do you think..." Zelda started.
"Oh, Link might go for it..." Malon smirked.
Back in the market...
"Well, that's the last of the crates. Need a ride back to the castle?" Link asked Prince Azastan.
"Yes, that would be lovely, Link...almost as lovely as you..." Prince Azastan climbed into the wagon as Link stared at his perfectly round butt and slim waist.
"You know, you're pretty cute too. For a guy, I mean," Link replied with a smile, getting into the driver's seat.
"What would our wives think of this conversation?" Prince Azastan asked.
"No idea," Link replied, steering the wagon towards the castle.
