~Zelda's POV~
Zelda woke in the morning, her head nuzzled under Dark's chin. She yawned and stretched her legs a little, accidently brushing them against Dark's. He was still fast asleep, or appeared to be, at least. She smiled, and carefully unwrapped herself from his arms, although it was rather difficult, since he somehow kept wrapping them around her. When she finally freed herself from the tangle, she changed into her normal purple, white and gold dress, and fixed her hair, checking to see if she was presentable. As soon as she felt she was satisfied, Zelda began to walk away, but a hand grabbed her arm. She turned, and gasped, Dark was awake. "Where are you going?" he muttered groggily. Zelda smiled. "I'm going to speak to the council about you." She explained. Immediately, he stood up, his red eyes now concerned.
"Should I come?"
"No, you can stay here if you want."
He nodded and let go of her arm. He got out of bed and began to put his shirt and hat back on. Zelda smiled and walked out.
"Princess Zelda, we've heard about this secret visitor you've been seeing at night." One councilman began. Zelda nodded. "Yes, I have been meeting him in my room." Another spoke. "Do you know how dangerous this could've been? He could have killed you!" Zelda nodded once more. "I'm aware of that councilman, but I knew he would not harm me." She explained. "I trust Dark, with all my heart and mind." Another spoke again. "Can you not see he is a demon?" Zelda shot an icy glare at the female council member. "He is only a demon if he acts like a demon. It appears that he has done nothing to harm our society.
"And might I say that he has done nothing to harm me. Good Council, we're in a time of peace, although as shown, most of the people of Hyrule are still on edge about the recent attack, I see no further move to be made against our kingdom. I believe we will have many long years of peace, so I say not to worry."
The council stayed silent after her little speech, then turned to one another, murmuring quietly. After a few moments, they turned back to her again. "Princess Zelda, we have come to a conclusion." The lead member began. Zelda turned her attention to him, her eyes intent and determined. "Dark Link will be able to stay with you here at the castle, we will knight him, if that so pleases the princess." Zelda did the tiniest smile, and nodded. "I would like to speak to him about the knighthood. But thank you for his acceptance." She thanked them. The council nodded and dismissed her. As she walked down the hall, she smiled happily, and walked into her room.
~Dark's POV~
Of course, Dark was still in her room when she walked him. When Zelda told him the news, he smiled wide, and wrapped his arms around her waist, picked her up gently, then spun her around. "I knew it!" he said, nuzzling her neck. Zelda stayed in his embrace for a bit before she pulled away. "The council gave another offer." She said. He tilted his head in curiosity, obviously wanting to know more. "They will offer you a knighthood, and allow you to be my personal knight." Dark stared at her softly, and smiled again. "I accept it."
A few days later, the knighthood was held. Dark surprisingly, acted accordingly, and Zelda made sure to hide most of the wine, just in case Dark was like that, because she really never knew. He kept his dark mastersword, but was given hyrulian armor. The armor was much like a captain's armor, but it was solid black, with red markings and triforce. A few days afterwards, life went back to normal. Dark stayed at Zelda's side frequently, and chased off any potential threats or suitors, with a snarl and a threat, which did the trick each time. One day, Dark had gone to the market to get something, but when he came back, he only told Zelda to meet him in the south field like old times. So there he was now, holding a small black box in his hand…
~Zelda's POV~
Zelda walked down the streets calmly. She wondered what Dark wanted with her all the way out in the field, like they used to meet. When she arrived, she found him in the middle of the field. She approached him, waving and calling his name. He strode toward her, wrapped his arms around her, and kissed her lovingly. "So what did you bring me out here for?" she asked. He smiled. "I needed to ask you something…" he murmured. Zelda nodded as if to say "go ahead." He sighed and rested his forehead against hers. "Zelda, for the longest time, others have seen me as a demon, or some creature of darkness, and I would feed on that, and use it for power. But when I met you, all of that changed." He began. "You saw the light in my darkness, and you brought it out. I never cared about anyone as much as I care about you." Zelda blinked, as he pulled away from her, and knelt down on one knee. Is he…? She thought. "So Zelda…" he said again. "…My princess, will you marry me?" he asked, pulling out a box and opening it, revealing a white and gold ring, with a ruby in the middle of it. Zelda gasped, and her eyes teared up. "Yes!" she said and wrapped her arms around him again. He smiled, and wrapped his arms around her, spinning her around and kissing her again. He pulled away and slipped the ring on her finger. "I may not be your Hero of Twilight…" he murmured. "…But I'll be your Hero of Shadow." She smiled and hugged him. "And I will always be your princess…" she murmured back. The two lovers stood like that, in each other's arms, and would always be, until the world ends.
Alright! This story is now officially finished. What did you guys think? Do you want me to make a sequel? Let me know in the reviews. Also, thank you so much for the support and ideas! Like I said before, you're all loved!
