The Jealous Prince Returns: Chapter 4: Gifts For the Birthday Girl

The sun shined into Florence's bedroom. She woke up and jumped out of bed, super excited. Today was her special day. After she dressed, she rushed down the hall to her parents' room and jumped on their bed.

"Mommy! Daddy! Wake up, wake up!"

"Nn. . . uh. . . Wha. . .?" Link groaned, rubbing the fatigue from his eyes.

"Wake up! Remember?"

"Oh, right, the surprise!" exclaimed Zelda. "Give us a minute to dress, and we'll give it to you!"

Florence squealed giddily and jumped off the bed. A few minutes later, the three were walking down the hallway. Chapland, who had just woken up, could hear them past his doorway.

"So, my little ray of sunshine is now seven years old. . ." Link sighed happily. "You're getting so big, Florence!"

Florence's face beamed. "Can I have my surprise now?"

The two parents nodded. It took everything she had to keep from screaming in delight. Slowly, Chapland approached the doorway and watched the scene with much interest.

Zelda took out a small necklace. It had a pendant with three golden triangles. She handed it to Florence.

"This is my gift to you," Zelda explained. "This Triforce pendant is known to be a full of magic. It will give you courage in the face of danger."

Florence put on the necklace and smiled up at her mother. She looked at her father.

"Florence. . ." he started. "Your sword skills are amazing. . . I think it's time for you to have a weapon to call your own."

Florence's eyes widened. Link handed a small sword to her. Its handle was decorated with great detail, looking as if covered with beautiful vines. The sheath had the image of several kinds of flowers painted on it. She unsheathed the sword, which was made of the shiniest metal. She looked at it in awe.

"The sword was forged by me and Darunia. It was designed especially for you, and now it's yours."

She looked up at her parents after sheathing her sword and wrapping the strap around her. "Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!!" She hugged them both tightly. Chapland couldn't help but smile, and stepped up.

"I have a gift for you as well, Florence." he started. They all looked at him oddly, and Florence stepped up, ready to receive her gift. He took out a small rapier and handed it to her.

"I brought this from my homeland. Your rapier skills are exceptional, and I think you deserve to have one of your own."

She smiled as Chapland helped attach the hilt to her belt. The two parents looked at him, and they didn't know what to say. Did he come for Florence's birthday as well? Did he really care that much? Link couldn't help but smile slightly in appreciation. He couldn't believe he used to hate this kind man. He could tell Chapland had changed for the better, but still couldn't get that sinking feeling out of his system. Those nightmares that kept him awake at night meant something bad would happen, and he had a feeling Chapland will have something to do with it. But who knows?

"Thank you, Chapland!" Florence gave him a hug, which kind of took him by surprise, but he smiled.

"Chapland, that was very thoughtful of you to think of our daughter. Thank you." Zelda said with a smile.

"Only for the sweet little birthday girl!" Chapland said lightly, smiling down at Florence.

Florence smiled cheerfully. Completely joyful, she rushed off with Zelda in tow to her room. The princes were left alone, and Link looked up at Chapland unsurely.

"Chapland, I. . ." he stuttered. "I-I don't know what to say. . ."

"I brought the rapier thinking your daughter must've known the ways of the blade, having a skilled swordsman as a father. . ."

". . . . ."

"Why so silent?"

"I-I don't know. . . I can't get this feeling that something bad is going to happen soon. . ."

"Link, I assure you, I won't harm. . ."

"No, I'm not saying it'll be your fault. . . It's just that. . .I've been having nightmares lately. . ."

Chapland was semi-relieved that Link wasn't pointing fingers at him. He wrapped an arm around the Hylian's shoulder, who then fidgeted uncomfortably. "Whatever happens, I'm sure you'll get through it fine. After all, you were able to escape back when you were sentenced to death. And I believe in Zelda and Florence's courage as well. I'm sure you'll all get through just fine."

Somehow, someway, Chapland's words comforted Link. He smiled slightly up at Chapland. He had a point, after all. . .
