Waiting for Love

Chapter 5

By Smurf Cat

It was noon by the time Samus woke up the next morning. She looked around the room to find Marth waiting for her in the corner. He smiled at her, then said in a cheerful voice, "Good morning, Little One."

"Please, call me Samus."

"As you wish. You've slept for nearly a day."

"Let's just say that I haven't been able to sleep very soundly lately."

"Oh. Well do you intend on staying in that bed for much longer?" said Marth as he walked over to her side of the bed.

Samus slowly got up out of her bed and realized that she was still in her clothes from yesterday. Then she remembered that she wanted a bath. She looked down at her clothes. They were mud stained. She looked at her bed to find the same thing. "I'm sorry for ruining the bed." She said to Marth.

"It's fine." He answered. "The servants will fetch you new sheets while you take a bath."

"Thank you." Answered Samus. "I guess I could use a bath." She said staring down at her mud-colored clothes.

Marth clapped his hands and immediately two servants that Samus recognized walked into the room. Zelda and Peach? Zelda had previously betray her. Marth saw the way that Samus looked at Zelda. "What is it Little One.I mean Samus?"

Samus looked hopefully up at him. She didn't want to be rude to anyone. She didn't want to see Zelda again either. ".It's nothing." she lied.

"Very well. You two ladies get her cleaned up. I'll be waiting in the receiving hall for her. Send a messenger before she comes though. I want to be the only one there with her." Ordered Marth.

Zelda and Peach curtsied then left with Samus. They soon lead her to an extremely large bathroom. Everything was painted.blue. 'I'm surround by this dreadful color' she thought sarcastically. "I can take a bath by myself." Said Samus confidently.

"Very well." Said Zelda. Then the other two princesses left the room to allow Samus to bathe in private. Samus took only long enough to get cleaned; after all, she wouldn't want to keep Marth waiting, would she?

She looked around the bathroom to find royal garments. They were quite different from Shiekan clothing. She quickly put them on and walked out of the bathroom to find Zelda and Peach waiting for her. "That was quick." Mentioned Peach.

"I'm in a hurry to see Marth." Explained Samus.

"Then we'll take you to see him immediately." Said Zelda.

Samus was lead down the grandest corridors that she had ever seen. The walls were gold and silver and the floor was.blue. Samus sighed and shook her head.

"What is it?" asked Zelda.

"It's just that everything in this castle is so blue."

"It was the queen's favorite color. She died when Marth was only a boy." Said Zelda.

"I'm sorry to hear that." Said Samus.

"You shouldn't be. The prince hardly remembers his mother. He doesn't really miss her either." Said Peach.

"Why not?" asked Samus.

"I don't know," said Zelda. "The prince is strange at times. Don't let him worry you."

Samus nodded. They turned a corner and found themselves in the receiving hall of the castle. It was so large and so grand. It was truly fit for a king. "we've already sent the messenger." Said Zelda. "Just go and talk to him."

With that Peach and Zelda left and Samus was all alone. She slowly stepped forward. "Well hello, Samus." Called Marth.

He got up from his throne and strolled over to her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and said, " come with me and I'll show you the kingdom."
