Chapter 6
So later on that month, we had a party. It was at Lon Lon Ranch (of course) and King Zora was there, along with Link of the Gorons (their new leader), Anju (the first woman mayor of Kakariko…the cuccoo thing wasn't working out, she had to change occupation), Mido, spokesman of the Kokiri, Naralie, Nabooru's sister and current leader of the Gerudo…and with all of them there, we formalized Link's kingship over Hyrule. You want to know what he was wearing?
A green tunic.
He never changes, not that I would ever want him to.
I was wearing what I always wear too…but it's not like I really had a reason to dress up.
The next day was when the real celebration occurred, though.
Someone (I think it was that Anju, she's a crafty one) had arranged a parade through the Market to the castle. The previously mentioned leaders would go first, and Link would go last.
He wanted me in the carriage with him. Like I was his queen.
Oh, I'd dreamed about it.
We waited outside the city gates for everyone else to go, Link and I in our little love-carriage. He had one arm casually draped across my shoulder and was whistling Epona's song under his breath. Suddenly he stopped though, and I looked at him quizzically.
"I want to ask you something, Malon."
"Sure, what?"
"Do you like me?"
I rolled my eyes. "That is probably the dumbest question I've ever heard." I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him close for a kiss. "I don't like you, Link. I love you."
And that's when I told him. And you know what?
"…I love you too."
See? Things always work out. Even if you aren't a princess, that whole happily-ever-after thing isn't just a fantasy.
So this ends what I know so far. Link and I…well, I visit him almost every day. I still live at the ranch, but one day I know I'll move into the castle…one day…when it happens and I'm sure you know what it is. But we're kinda taking things slow, because he's never had that luxury before. His entire life was taken up by his quest, but now, things are peaceful and calm. He's a great king, you know. Did you expect any less from the one who saved us all?
He's great, and we're happy.
And that's about it.
