~*~Chapter 4: Fresh Air~*~
"What is going on?" the King demanded of his daughter.
Zelda stood up and looked at her father. "Father, he-"
But Kävik interrupted her, "Stupid bitch don't like me," he said to Bjorn. "Stupid bitch don't want to marry me."
At this the King was shocked. "Guards!" he screamed. In walked two heavily armed men who looked about as big as three Käviks. "Take this - man," he spit, "to the cells." He looked away from Kävik in disgust. As the guards carried Kävik away, the King looked at Bjorn. "I thought you would have taught your son better. No wonder Zelda doesn't want to marry him."
"I - I" Bjorn stammered.
"Don't 'I' me!" screamed the King in rage. "Impa! Take Zelda inside.
Impa led Zelda into the castle and up to her bedchamber. The two of them sat down on separate chairs. "I shall speak with your father," Impa said. "You are destined to marry Kel, he and I both know it."
"No!" cried Zelda, as she stood up.
"Sit down," said Impa. "Kel is a good man, a hard worker, and he won't get in the way of business."
'Yeah,' Zelda thought to herself, 'cause he's so stupid.'
"He is a strong man, and he will be a good husband."
"But - " started Zelda.
"But nothing!" said Impa. "I shall talk to your father the minute Bjorn leaves. Stay here." With that, Impa turned around and left Zelda alone in her room.

'I'm not going to marry Kel,' Zelda thought to herself. She walked to her wardrobe and pulled out a faded peasant dress and changed into it. She took a burlap sack and filled it with some necessary items and food supplies. Then she exited the castle, determined to find the love of her life before she would be forced to marry Kel.
Zelda left the castle grounds and entered Hyrule Castle Town Market. She was headed for the Happy Mask Shop, for she expected to be gone long, and needed a mask in case the King went to look for her. 'I'm going to find my love,' she thought to herself. 'I will search far and wide; I will leave Hyrule if I have to, but I will find him!' But she didn't have to search far at all. She walked into the Happy Mask Shop, and there was Bob, smiling.
"Zelda!" said Bob. "So nice to see you. Have you come to buy a mask?"
Zelda was about to say yes, but instead she said, "No, I just came to see you."
"How sweet of you," said Bob, looking into Zelda's eyes. Though she was crudely dressed, Bob could see just how beautiful she was. He ran his hand through her hair.
"Bob," said Zelda. "My father and nursemaid want me to marry a man I don't love."
Bob moved closer to Zelda. "Who is this man?" he asked softly.
"His name is Kel, and he's an unintelligent fool, and I don't want to marry him."
"Then don't marry him."
"But you don't understand. Father's the King, he can do anything, and I need an heir."
Bob didn't understand. He had never been royalty. But even so, he held Zelda close and let her pour her heart out to the point of tears. Bob put the 'CLOSED' sign on the door of the shop and led Zelda to the back room. Zelda sat down on a cushiony chair, and Bob sat with her.
"Father will want me home," said Zelda, once she had calmed down.
"What will you do?" asked Bob.
"I will have to go home."
"And marry Kel?"
"I won't marry Kel," said Zelda with confidence.
"What will you tell him then?" asked Bob.
"I will tell him that I am in love."
Bob leaned into Zelda and kissed her. She kissed him back, and it seemed that the kiss lasted for an eternity. They were disturbed by a loud knock. Bob and Zelda rushed to the window to see what it was. The King's men were going door to door in the market looking for Zelda!
"Zelda, you've got to go home!" said Bob.
"What do I do? The guards are right there!"
"Just go back to the castle and pretend you weren't even here. Pretend you went for a walk or something."
Zelda got up from the cushion and ran to the door. "I'll wait till they go by, and then I'll make a run for the castle. I know a path where the guards won't see me, and I can get into the castle unnoticed." Bob got up and went to Zelda's side.
"Goodbye Zelda," Bob said. He kissed her goodbye, and as soon as the guards disappeared from view, Zelda left the Happy Mask Shop and made a run for the castle.

Twenty-five minutes later, Zelda walked down the spiral staircase in the same blue dress, but she didn't have time to get her hair in the crown.
"Where were you?" asked the King. "I've sent my guards to go searching for you in the Market."
"I was just taking a walk," said Zelda. "I felt I needed some fresh air."
