Chapter 26: A Royal Accident
AN: Hey everyone! I'm back again with another chapter. I am thankful to everyone who reads my story and I am glad there are so many people who enjoy my work. Let me know what you think and enjoy!
***I don't own anything in this story, so please don't sue me.***
Zelda kept tossing and turning all night; resulting in a lack of sleep. But the next morning, she tried to think positively. She took a relaxing shower and got her day started. She went outside, closed her eyes, and took a breath of fresh air; today was going to be a good day. She was moving to Nohr and Leo was going to help her with magic. She walked into the main tent where everyone was sitting and eating breakfast. Today's breakfast was oatmeal, and unlike the appearance, it smelled wonderful. She grabbed some fresh fruit and a glass of water before finding a place to sit down. As she sat down, another young girl sat across from her.
Hi!" She exclaimed with a bright smile on her face. Zelda wasn't sure if it was possible to have so much energy so early in the morning.
"…hello." She replied slowly. Zelda's body wasn't ready for any quick movements quite yet.
"My name's Sophie. I think you're really cool." She said with excitement. Zelda now realized that this girl idolizes her.
"Well, thank you." Zelda said as she took another bite. After swallowing her food, Zelda asked her newest fan a question. "How do you have so much energy this morning?" Sophie sighed.
"No…It's Avel." She said. "He's…so stubborn."
"Avel…is your boyfriend?"
"Uh…no. Avel is my horse. I was brushing him early like I do every morning, and when we're done, we go for a little ride around Hoshido. But for some reason, Avel just took off without me. I had to chase him down and…" Sophie just sighed. "He can be such a jerk sometimes." She said with a bit of annoyance in her voice. Zelda took another bite of her food.
"Well…maybe it takes time. How long have you known him?"
"All my life. He trusts me, but he just likes to act out." She replied as the two ate their food and enjoyed their food. When Sophie had finished, Zelda did more talking than eating and she had a bit of food left on her plate.
"So…you're facing your girlfriend in two days, right? Do you think you can win?" Sophie's face blushed in embarrassment. "I mean, I'm not saying you can't or you won't. I'm just asking because I want to know if you think you can. No, that's not right…"
"I know what you're trying you're trying to ask." Zelda said. "I am very confident that I am able to beat Samus. I think I have the training and the ability to overcome the odds." Zelda said as she sipped her water. "And when it's all said and done, yeah. I know I can kick her ass." Zelda said with a smile on her face. Sophie, however, was now scared of something behind the princess. "What?" Zelda asked.
"I never thought I would hear the princess of Hyrule use such vulgar language." Zelda face froze and swallowed hard. She knew the voice behind her and she wanted to shrivel up and hide forever. She slowly turned around and she saw who it was. The man was very tall and had a white beard. He was wearing a large red coat and his eyes and he had dark brown eyes. Zelda was terrified to speak to him. But eventually, she found her voice.
"H-H-Hello…f-f-fa…fa…fa…ther…" She managed to squeak out.
"You know…" Sophie said. "I just remembered…that I forgot…to… remember…something…" Sophie finished before sprinting out of the area; leaving Zelda and her father alone. There was an awkward silence for a long time before Zelda broke the silence.
"A-Am I…in t-trouble?" She quietly asked her father as he sat across from his daughter.
"For cursing? No." He said as he smiled. "You have your mother's tongue. I cannot punish you for that." Zelda heard the reference to her mother and she acted quickly on it.
"Mother cursed?" Zelda asked as excitement began to build inside her. Her father nodded.
"Yes. She tried to change that, but when she was upset, she would curse." Her father changed the subject. "My personal attendants have informed me that you have recently started dating someone." He stated while Zelda looked away.
"Well…yes and no. I am seeing someone, but we've been dating for almost a year."
"A year?" Her father asked in surprise. He then lowered his head and slowly shook it from side to side. He set his hand on the table with his palm up. Zelda placed her hand in his.
"Zelda, I have been a terrible father." As much as every fiber of her being was screaming for her to shame him, Zelda took a deep breath and sighed. She knew she couldn't do that.
"Father, that's not true." She defended him, but she did want to be honest with him. "I mean, it would have been nice to see you more often and talk more as I was growing up. But…you had to rule a kingdom. I don't blame you. You…you were busy…" Zelda said as she grew a bit sad by her words.
"That's no excuse." He said. "I'm…I'm actually here to speak of your relationship with the bounty hunter. I'm sure he's a-"
"She." Zelda corrected. "I'm…dating a girl." The king paused for a moment.
"She…" He corrected. "I'm sure she's a wonderful person. However…" Zelda was afraid her father would permit her to marry Samus.
"Father, I know Samus is not of royalty. But I really like her and I don't want to end this relationship. Please don't-"
"I would like to speak with her. I'm here to give you my blessing." He told his daughter. Zelda stopped and looked at him.
"…What?" She asked.
"I cannot deny true love. It wouldn't be fair of me. After all, your mother wasn't of royalty either." Zelda's eyes shot wide open.
"Mother…wasn't born from royalty?" Zelda asked. This was the first bit of new information his father gave of his mother and to the princess, this was like gold.
"I…I haven't talked to you about your mother, have I?" Zelda quickly shook her head as he placed one hand on his forehead.
"Your mother…she was beautiful. She was a Shiekah." Daphnes said.
"Shiekah….that's…the shadow folk. Like Impa." Zelda said as her father nodded.
"Correct. Your mother was a fine member of the Shiekah. I remember it like it was yesterday." A warm smile spread across the old king's face. "She had known all about the Hyrule family and was set to be my personal bodyguard. We became good friends and one day, out of the blue, I just knew I had to ask." Zelda smiled. It was nice to hear these stories. How mother met, how father fell in love, all new, and it was like magic.
"After a few years, your mother gave birth to the most perfect daughter." The king's hand gently stroked her daughter's cheek. "And after you were born, she made a decision to visit the town, once a month, to better know the citizens who we serve. She would always bring you so they knew, one day, the fair princess would eventually be their future; their queen." The king's smile faded. "Then…disaster struck." Zelda could feel her heart sink.
"Your mother became gravely ill. I had called the best doctors in Hyrule, but they would arrive too late. Your mother…" He paused so he could catch himself. Clearly, this was a part of his memory that he didn't like to dwell on. "…made me promise three things before she died."
"What were they?" Zelda asked. She, herself, was on the verge of tears. Daphnes, again, cleared his throat.
"The first promise was that I would continue taking care of Hyrule. I would ensure that Hyrule would thrive. The second promise was that I had to make sure that our only daughter continued to visit the people, every month as long as she grew up. The final promise…" He looked at his daughter with such sad eyes; Zelda was worried about this final promise.
"The final promise was that when you found true love, I was to advocate the throne to you." Zelda's jaw dropped.
"You…no. I won't let you." Zelda said as she began crying.
"I made these promises to your mother. On your wedding day, you'll become the new queen and I will-"
"I'm not letting you do this again!" Zelda said with tears streaming down her face as she stood up. "You finally come visit me…after all these years. The last time I saw you…I was six." She wiped the tears from her eyes. "And now you're here, in my life again, and you came all this way to tell me that you're going to leave me again? No! I will not let you abandon me again!" Zelda's voice boomed in the empty area. "If you try to fight me on this, I will fight back. There will be no wedding, I will stop visiting the people, and you will be forced to rule forever." Zelda said as she rubbed her eyes again and sniffled.
"Zelda…" Her father began. "I…have no idea how to be a father…" He tried to plead his case, but Zelda wasn't having any of it.
"And I don't know how to be a mother. But Samus and I…we want children. You weren't around for my life, but if we have children…please, for the sake of them. Stay in theirs." Her father sighed, realizing he wasn't going to win this argument.
"You are just like your mother." He chuckled. "If that is what you truly wish…"
"It is. Please, father. Don't leave. Well…" Zelda sniffled and rubbed her eyes again. "…I mean, I must leave. I'm heading to Nohr, and while I'd love to spend more time with you, I have plans to work with Prince Leo." Zelda said with a smile on her face.
"I will meet with Samus. My sources have informed me that she is staying at Crimea. Queen Elincia has given her shelter and she is also training with General Ike." Zelda was glad that Samus was ok.
"As for your next match…" He said as he cleared his throat. "I think that it would be nice to get out of the castle and attend one of this…tournament of champions." He declared. "Such a ridiculous name…" He muttered under his breath. Zelda sniffled again, but inside, she was excited to hear that her father might take an interest in an upcoming match.
"You…you would actually attend?" The princess asked with excitement in her voice. Her father nodded.
"I'm told you are quite the fighter. I'm also told Samus is an experienced fighter as well. I look forward to seeing the match."
"Thank you, father." Zelda said as she couldn't erase her smile from her face. Her father stood up and was about to walk away. "And father?" He looked down at his daughter. "W-What….what was her name? What was mother's name?" He smiled as he knelt down and gently grabbed Zelda's hand once more.
"Your mother's name is Grace." He gently squeezed her hand just enough for her to know that he cared for her. He walked out of the tent; leaving Zelda alone for a moment.
"Grace…" Zelda repeated. She quickly ran after her father. "Father!" She called out just before he got into his carriage. He stopped and turned around.
"Yes?" He asked his daughter as she motioned for him to come closer to her. He knelt down and she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you…for everything." She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. He smiled as he gently hugged her back.
"You are welcome, my daughter." After the hug broke, he waved goodbye and entered his carriage as he left. Zelda was standing alone, but her heart was filled with warmth. The late Queen Grace was her mother and it was something that she'd never forget. Ryoma walked up behind her.
"Lady Zelda? We have a carriage ready to take you to Nohr whenever you are ready." Zelda turned around and nodded her head.
"I'll be just a few minutes."She walked back to her room and packed all her things. She was finally ready for the second half of training. She said goodbye to Hoshido and the carriage took her away. The ride was quite smooth as she arrived to Nohr in one piece. The driver opened the door and a familiar face greeted her.
"I remember you!" She exclaimed. "You're….um…." The man laughed.
"It's alright, your highness. My name is Niles." He said with a smile on his face. "Lord Leo requested I help assist you in any way possible. I suppose I should give you a bit of advice first." He cleared his throat and began.
"First off, the citizens of Nohr aren't all trustworthy, so be careful who you speak with. Next, there's a young girl who lives here. Her name is Rhajat. Do not…let me repeat…do not talk to her. Don't look at her, don't follow her, don't do anything with her."
"Why?" Zelda asked with curiosity.
"Rhajat is mischievous. She enjoys making potions…and messing with people; messing with their minds or causing hallucinations…" Niles shook his head. "She is trouble. Just stay away from her." Zelda nodded.
"Stay away from Rhajat." She repeated, then paused. "How will I know what she looks like?" She asked another question.
"She stands out." He said "Anyway, Lord Leo had some other matters to take care of. Just stay right here and I'll be back very soon." He quickly ran off; leaving the princess all alone. It wasn't very dark, and Zelda was confident that Niles would be back with Leo soon. An hour had passed and there was no sign of Niles or Leo. The only thing that Zelda saw was some person carrying multiple jugs of…something. Zelda decided to walk over to the person.
"Do you need help?" Zelda offered as it turned out it was a woman. "Wait…" Zelda remembered Niles' advice. "What…um...is your name?" The princess asked this stranger. Her eyes narrowed as a small sneer appeared on her face.
"My name? It's…" She thought for a moment, before providing her answer. "…Tharja." Zelda breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ok." She said, now that she was reassured. "I was told to avoid a woman named Rhajat." Tharja's eyebrows slightly rose.
"Were you?" She asked with a chuckle. "I know her and she's…misunderstood. Anyway, these will be fine here. You look a little parched. Do you want some water?" It hadn't occurred to the princess, but she was a bit thirsty now.
"Actually, that would be nice, please." The girl pulled out a bottle and stopped.
"Wait, what's that?" Zelda turned around and as she did, Tharja cracked opened one bottle and added an unknown powder into the bottle before shaking it and dissolving the powder.
"I didn't see anything." Zelda said as she turned around.
"I thought I saw something. My mistake." She said as she handed the bottle to the princess. "Here." She offered Zelda the bottle to her.
"Thank you." Zelda said as she opened it and drank some water.
"I should actually be honest with you…" The girl began. "…My name is Rhajat." She smiled as Zelda looked surprised.
"You…tricked me? Why?" Zelda asked.
"Because in about five seconds, you're about to fall asleep and forget this conversation ever happened."
"No." Zelda protested. "You…You can't. I'm…supposed to meet with Lord Leo and…I…I can…" Zelda collapsed before Rhajat and a big smile appeared on her face.
"Right." Rhajat sneered. "So if I'm correct, she should wake up and-"
"She's right over here." Niles' voice echoed out.
'Shit!' Rhajat thought as she took her jugs and bolted; leaving the princess alone.
"Was it safe to just leave her here? You should've brought her. I can't-" Leo stopped. "Niles, why is Zelda laying on the ground?" Niles stopped and practically sprinted towards her.
"Zelda!" He yelled with worry.
"You're making one hell of an impression." Leo said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"Leo, this was an accident. I'm sorry." He apologized.
"Don't apologize. We can fix this." Leo sighed heavily. "Is she still alive?" Niles checked her pulse.
"Yes. She still has a pulse."
"Alright. I'm going back to the castle to get Camilla and Elise. I'll leave a note for Xander when he has time. Don't leave her alone." He said as he quietly muttered to himself and warped back to Nohr castle. He came back shortly after with his sisters.
"Zelda!" Elise said as she rushed to the princess. "Camilla, I need the towels." She instructed as Camilla put the towels on the ground and the girls gently rolled Zelda onto it. Elise then began to check for any marks, bruises, or bumps to her head or body. Camilla walked back to Leo.
"Is she alive?" Camilla asked her younger brother.
"Niles says yes. I'll wait to hear from our sister." He said without batting an eyelash. "This is going to cut into our training…" He said with a bit of anger in his voice.
"Just be happy that she is alive." Camilla said with a smile. "We should try to stay positive." Elise then walked back to the others.
"Alright. There are no abrasions on her body, no bumps on her head, and her heart is beating at a normal rate. I don't really know what caused her to pass out." Elise explained.
"Perhaps she pushed herself too hard in Hoshido?" Camilla suggested, but Leo shook his head.
"No, Ryoma would have told us in advance." Leo said. As they finished their thought, Xander came rushing in.
"Leo, I found the note, is she alright?" Xander asked as he got off the horse.
"Yes. She's perfectly fine. I don't understand why she is like this." Elise explained.
"Let's take her back to the castle and see what we can make of this." Xander said as Zelda began waking up. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. Xander carefully approached the princess.
"Princess…are you alright?" He asked as Zelda looked at Xander.
"Oh…Xander…" She blinked a few times before her face turned bright red and a smile appeared on her face. "Oh, Xander!" She swooned at the king of Nohr. Xander, Leo, Camilla, and Elise had more questions than answers at the moment. Xander looked at his siblings while Zelda was giving him a hug.
"Camilla, what is this?" Xander asked with a confused expression on his face. Camilla shrugged her shoulders; having no idea what was happening before turning to Elise. Elise quickly shook her head and turned to Leo. Leo turned to Niles and raised an eyebrow.
"I…have no idea." Niles admitted. "King Xander, I swear she was unconscious when Lord Leo and I found her." Xander looked around, then back at Zelda and then chuckled.
"I get it…" He chuckled as she gently shook his head. "This is all a joke." He laughed with a smile on his face. "Princess, you really had me. For a second, I was actually convinced you were in love with me."
"But I am in love with you." Zelda admitted as she batted her eyes for her new boyfriend. Xander stopped smiling and nervously chuckled.
"Zelda? The joke is over. You can stop pretending now." Xander said with a bit of worry in his voice. Zelda then grabbed his hands.
"My darling, Xander. This is no joke. This is fate! It is destiny that brought us together. You and I will be happily married and all will be well within our kingdoms." At this point, everyone there knew that Zelda, for some reason, meant what she had said.
"Fix this." Xander said in a calm, but stern manner to his siblings. Unfortunately, no one knew where to start.
"Goddammit. This will definitely cut into training." Leo hissed under his breath. Camilla and Elise were unsure what to do.
"Leo! Think of something! What do we do?" Elise whined.
"You must think of something." Camilla said.
"Leo, I could really use some help here." Xander said; hoping Leo would come up with something.
"Leo…"
"Leo-"
"Leo!"
"I'm thinking! Just let me think!" Leo yelled as everyone became silent. After a few minutes, Leo turned to Zelda.
"Zelda, you…you need to let Xander be alone right now." He said in a calm manner. Zelda became a bit upset and folded her arms.
"Why?" She said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Why? Well…ah…" Leo's brain tried to quickly think of a good reason. Then, a light bulb clicked in his head. "Planning." He quietly said under his breath.
"What?" Zelda asked while Leo turned around quickly.
"You need to prepare." Leo said with a smile on his face. "You're not marrying some random guy. No…no! You're marrying the king of Nohr."
"What are you doing?" Xander hissed at his brother. But Leo wasn't listening or if he was, he wasn't paying attention.
"The flowers, the seating arrangements, the food, the cake, your dress. His suit. You need to plan this right away. We're talking about the wedding of the century!"
Y-You're right." Zelda quietly said as she locked eyes with Xander once again. "He's right! There's so much to do. I…I don't even know where to begin…" Zelda began panicking as she stood up. Leo put his arm around her.
"Don't worry about that. You'll plan for as long as you need…" With the hand that wasn't around the princess, Leo pointed towards his youngest sister. "…And Elise will help you plan it." Elis just stood there as her eyes grew big.
"I…I am?" She asked. Even she wasn't aware of what he was planning.
"Of course. You'll help plan the wedding of the century for Zelda…" He motioned towards the princess, and then turned his entire body to face Elise. "…and her significant other." Leo emphasized. Elise now understood the plan.
"Right." She whispered as she winked at her brother. She grabbed Zelda by the hand. "Come on. I know someone who's great at making clothes." Xander stormed up to his younger brother.
"Leo, what are you doing?" Xander asked with a now pissed off expression.
"I'm helping you." Leo responded in a calm manner.
"By suggesting she should start planning a wedding?"
"Yes. The kind of wedding that will take days, maybe even weeks to prepare for. While I find out what happened." Leo said. "You just need to take a short vacation. We'll cover for you." Leo said with an assuring look. Xander closed his eyes and shook his head.
"I'm going to make a run to Hoshido. I'll…bring some fabrics. Forrest said he was running out." Xander said.
"I'll try to have an answer to all of this when you get back." Leo said. His attention turned to Niles. "And you…" Niles gulped hard.
"Lord Leo, I am sorry-"
"Pretend like this never happened. Act like there is nothing wrong. We will figure this out, but for now, just pretend like it's an ordinary day." He instructed. Niles nodded and left.
as he headed for the castle. Xander, still confused, shook his head and went to the stables. While Elise was keeping the princess busy, Leo began trying to find Rhajat. Though she was born in Hoshido, Rhajat preferred life in Nohr and she was very good at hiding when people are looking for her.
'Gods! Where is she?' Leo thought as he tried to scan the area, but failing to find her. 'Maybe we can lure her out. Perhaps there is something rare at the market.' Leo walked to the market in an attempt to find some kind of rare ingredient. He examined one bottle, but shook his head as he set it down. He picked up a second bottle.
'It isn't rare, but we are running out of elixirs.' He reached into his pocket, and paid for it. He moved on, trying to find something of interest.
"Something rare…something rare…" Leo said quietly to himself. He picked up another bottle and to his luck, he came across a rare kind of snake venom. He picked it up, and a female's hand grabbed his wrist.
"I saw it first!" She said with leering eyes towards Leo. To his surprise, the woman who grabbed his wrist was Rhajat.
"I've been looking for you." Leo said with an angered look on his face. "If you want this, you need to answer some questions."
"About what?"
"About what happed to Princess Zelda." Rhajat began to back away, but Leo had cast a spell that froze her in place. He paid for the item and then walked towards her. Once he grabbed her wrist, the spell faded.
"Let's take a walk, shall we?" He pulled the girl with him, who as struggling to get loose, but failing. Once the two were alone, Leo set the bottle down and folded his arms.
"What did you do?" He asked, but Rhajat was still playing dumb.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I will smash this bottle and you will watch as it drains away." Leo threatened. Rhajat rolled her eyes and sighed.
"Ok. Fine. I'll talk, but don't smash that bottle. I need it…for something." She tried pleading. Rhajat then explained everything to Leo and told him everything he wanted to know in exchange for the snake venom. He quickly made it back to the castle and grabbed a small amount of warp powder; enough for two trips. He then used some to take him to the outskirts of Hoshido. He made his way inside the kingdom and found Xander speaking with Azura.
"Let's see…three different types of silk, two different types of flannel, four types of linen, and one type of denim. I envy his skills at making clothes." Azura admired. Xander smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Azura." He said as he began to turn away and leave.
"Tell him I said hello." She waved goodbye as he left. Xander turned the corner and ran intohis younger brother.
"Xander!" Leo said as he quickly got up and helped his brother up.
"Did you find anything?" He asked with hope in his voice.
"I have good news and I have bad news." Leo said bluntly. Xander thought for a minute and sighed.
"Start with the bad news. I would very much like to finish this conversation on a high note."
"The spell that Rhajat cursed her with is irreversible. No cure can be made to reverse this effect." Xander dropped his head in disappointment.
"…and the good news?"
"The spell was incomplete. It will only last for twenty four hours after consumption. Her next match is in two days, so we might be able to-"
"Her interview." Xander said as he pulled his head up.
"What?" Leo asked.
"Zelda has an interview tomorrow. I think it's called a pre-match press conference." He informed his younger brother.
"…she's still going to be affected…" Leo said realizing that she would be in the same room with the real love of her life. And she will still be obsessed with the king of Nohr. "If Samus finds out…"
"Yeah…" Xander said as he already put the pieces together.
"Well…you could ask-"
"No." Xander said sternly. "I won't. She'd…laugh." Leo was annoyed with his brother.
"Maybe so, but she will help. You know she still cares for us." Leo said. Knowing that his brother was right, Xander turned back and walked to Azura.
"Xander!" Azura cheerfully called out. "Did you forget something for young Forrest?" She smiled at the king.
"Is…Corrin…around? I would request that the two of you come to Nohr with me." Realizing that something was awry, Azura's smile faded.
"Is something wrong?" She asked with concern.
"You might say that." Azura excused herself to find her partner. Xander turned around.
"Take these to Forrest. I'll bring them with me." He instructed his younger brother. Leo grabbed the items and used what was left of the warp powder to return home. Once he returned, the first thing he did was check on the princess. He walked up to Elise's bedroom, where all the planning was taking place.
"Should we have King Caineghis next to my father?" Zelda asked.
"No. He is sitting here, with the other laguz." Elise pointed out.
"Shouldn't we mix everyone together? It seems like we're separating everyone by what they are." The boy suggested. He was wearing a pink dress and had golden curls. On appearance alone, he could easily be mistaken for a girl.
"Good catch, Forrest." Elise said. "If we move Tibarn to this table, we might be able to put Chrom and Robin over here. They can sit with Mario and Peach. Then Ryoma will sit with Elincia and…" Her voice trailed off as she noticed Leo standing in the doorway. "Hey, Leo!" She smiled and waved as a smirk appeared on his face.
"How's the planning going?" He asked as he held out a bag for his son. "Forrest, here. It's a gift from Xander." Forrest took it and looked inside the bag.
"Oh thank you, Uncle Xander." He said with excitement. His attention turned to Elise and Zelda. "Oh…but we must plan…for the…wedding." He said as he focused on the seating arrangements again.
"Elise, can I speak to you for a moment?" Elise got up and walked out of the room for a moment.
"Can we make a cure for her? I'm seriously running out of ideas." Elise panicked.
"No. But Xander is getting some help."
"From who?" She read Leo's expression and she knew. "Corrin? How is she going to help us?" Elise asked with worry.
"I don't know. But he'll figure something out. All we need to do is distract her until tomorrow. She has an interview tomorrow and then the spell will end." Leo explained to his youngest sister. Elise gave a big sigh before clearing her throat.
"Ok. I think I can do that. But seriously, someone owes me for this." She said.
"I'll think of something. Thanks for this." He told her. Elise then walked back into her room and Leo walked outside. Xander, Corrin, and Azura just arrived.
"Zelda is in love with you? That can't be right."
"I agree with Corrin. Zelda is very loyal to Samus. She is hoping to have children with her." Azura said. The two girls noticed Leo walking towards them.
"Xander speaks the truth. Zelda is under some kind of spell created by Rhajat." Corrin rolled her eyes while Azura placed a hand on her forehead.
"Of course Rhajat would be behind this." Corrin muttered. "But why do you need our help?"
"Zelda will have a pre-match press conference tomorrow. She will still be under the influence of this spell." Xander explained.
"So?" Corrin asked.
"Zelda will still be in love with me…while sitting in a room…with the girl she actually loves." Xander broke it down. The girls looked at each other.
"That…could be a problem." Azura said quietly.
"Just bring Zelda there and bring her back. And try to avoid Samus." Xander instructed. "When she is back to normal, we'll return her to the stadium and then it will be like nothing happened."
"Alright." Corrin said as she turned to the blue haired princess. "In the meantime, Azura and I will need a room here. She and I will further discuss how we plan to do this." Corrin sighed. "I have this feeling that things won't go to plan." Azura put a hand on her shoulder.
"We'll make it work. We must." Azura said as the two girls walked back towards the castle; leaving the brothers alone.
"I've already planned on a training workout with her as soon as she returns to the castle." Leo said. "We'll pick up where we were supposed to be and-"
"Let's not rush this." Xander said. "We just need to hope that all goes to plan." The brothers began walking inside. The hope was that it would be smooth and all would work out, but even they knew that something wrong would most likely occur.
