Two weeks after that night, Zelda did not like or appreciate Kishik any more. To her, he was merely a prince that her father was forcing her to meet. . .only she knew it was more than that. The princess was going to be forced to marry this stupid freak, whether she liked it or not.
Just the other day, she had told Link of her problems:
"Close your eyes, Link," she said.
"What?"
"Close them!!"
"Okay, okay..." Link obediently closed his eyes, grinning.
"Now. . .pretend that you are a princess."
"A princess?!"
"Yes! Now. . .your father is planning on marrying you off to a snotty, self-centered inconceivable Prince!! You hate him, he bores you, he's madly in love with you and knows nothing of your impenetrable hatred; and yet here your father stands, blindly marrying you off to him!!"
"Well that's not very considerate," Link joked. "What do I do?"
"That's what I want YOU to answer," Zelda said. "And you can open your eyes now, I guess."
"Well, if I were this princess," Link said, giving Zelda a debonair smile and an amused look, "I would tell the jerk what I thought of him."
"You'd what?"
"I'd walk right up to his ugly face and tell him how monstrous he was," Link said with a grin, folding his arms.
"My father would hang me for doing such a thing!" Zelda cried.
"Oh," Link said, mocking surprise. "We're actually talking about YOU? I thought that perhaps you had come to me for suggestions on how to write a novel or--"
"All right, so you knew that the princess was really me," Zelda sighed.
"And that this snotty self-centered prince is Prince Kishik."
"Wha--how did you know?"
"It's been my displeasure of growing up in Nacirema, the very place that Kishik now rules," Link answered. "I recognized his carrige the other day approaching the palace, and so I just put two and two together." He gave a solemn shrug.
"But Link, whatever can I do?"
That had been a week ago. Zelda sighed heavily as she combed her hair for the second time that evening. Well, this was the night. All the dukes and duchesses of Hyrule would now know of her engagement to Prince Kishik, and there would be nothing she could do. It was practically already written in stone.
There was a knock on her door. "Are you ready, milady?" Impa's voice asked.
In response, Zelda opened the door and walked out of it.
"You look lovely, princess," Impa sighed, though her face was also solemn, as she knew Zelda was not looking forward to this night at all.
Though barely having heard her words, Zelda muttered, "Thank you." Her dress was mostly a light blue color, highlighted in different spots with splashes of cerulean and tints of gold. She wore her Triforce shaped earrings (cute, isn't it?), along with a golden necklace and large amethyst ring (her birthstone).
The dinner that night went exactly as planned; everyone said that they were having a wonderful time. Kishik was very excited for his engagement to be announced, and was practically sitting on pins and needles all night.
"I should like to propose a toast," he said, getting to his feet and lifting his glass. "To our dear--"
But the guests never heard whom Kishik found dear, because at that moment, the doors into the dining hall burst open. Boys ranging from young teens to men in probably their early twenties flew inside the room, all holding swords or daggers.
"Dear Goddesses!" King Harkinian shouted. "What's going on?!"
"We're under seige!!" Impa cried, sticking to the wall.
A boy of about thirteen walked up to Kishik, his sword drawn. "You dirty murderer!" he accused. "Just wait until all the others hear about this!! Justice finally being done to us, you filthy beast!!" The boy spat. "You make me sick, Kishik!!"
"Arrest them!" Kishik roared, using his hand to knock the scrawny boy aside. "Kill them, hurt them, get them out of my sight!!"
"You thought we had forgotten, didn't you, Kishik?!" roared another man, jumping onto the table with a dagger. Kishik drew his own sword, and slashed the man's chest with it.
The prince turned to Zelda. "Princess, quickly, hide yourself before they capture you!!"
Before she could move, someone pulled on Zelda's arm and dragged her underneath the table. She was about to scream, but she gasped from surprise instead. "Goddesses!! Link!"
"Hello, princess," Link said with a grin. "How's the dinner going?"
Zelda wanted to smile, but she was much too worried. "Link, is this your doing?!"
"Sure is."
"Have you gone mad?! Kishik will murder you!!"
"It wouldn't be beneath him, I suppose," Link sighed, rolling his eyes. "But don't worry. No one will hurt you. All my old friends have gladly agreed to join me in this brief fight against Kishik. Besides, I wanted to prolong this engagement announcement for as long as possible."
"Why?" Zelda whispered, at the same time as someone giving a blood- curdling shriek.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Link asked, leaning closer.
"I said, why?!" Zelda repeated a little louder.
"You've told me that you don't appreciate Kishik!" Link answered. "So why on earth would you want your engagement to be announced to him?!"
"I guess you've made a good point," Zelda laughed. Still smiling, she stared at him, suddenly aware of close she was to him.
Link was noticing this, too. It would be very easy to kiss her right now. . .
Suddenly, Zelda thrusted herself towards Link, seconds before he was about to do the same. Being this close to him was like heaven... The princess's lips bore down on Link's, pushing him to the dirty castle floor. Link's hands caressed her gently, a very innocent touch for a gypsy of the streets. Zelda adored it.
Link rolled over; he was now on top of the princess, his lips still sealed to hers, grinning to himself as Zelda's hands went through his hair and onto his neck. They were both washed over by an indescribable feeling; urging them to go on.
"Where's Zelda?!" King Harkinian shouted to Kishik.
"I told her to get out!" the Prince answered, will parrying towards an enemy. "It might be best if I went out to search for her!!" While his thoughts were distracted, Kishik's attacker thrust his sword forward; knocking the prince off his feet. Another knight came up and started furiously fighting with the boy.
Kishik sat up and was about to stand when he heard soft moaning sounds coming from underneath the table cloth. Grinning, he lifted it, expecting to perhaps see one of his dying enemies that he could kill off.
Imagine his surprsise when he saw Link, one of his sleeves pulled off his arm, lying on top of Zelda, who looked as though the bottom of her skirt had been either pushed up or torn off. The two of them stared at Kishik in shock.
Growling with fury, Kishik grabbed Link tightly and pulled him out from underneath the table. He flung him to one of the knights near the King, who turned to Kishik curiously.
"I found this gypsy underneath this very table!" Kishik said, as Zelda rolled out. "He was attempting to rape the Princess!"
"That isn't true!" Zelda insisted, standing up. Then she frowned, noticing how suspicious the situation looked.
"A gypsy!!" King Harkinian roared, as Impa flew forward and knocked out the man who had just ran towards him.
The knights all grouped together and confronted the intruders of the castle, pushing them closer and closer to the door. They looked up at their leader, frightened, then screamed and ran full-speed out the door.
"What made you THINK," King Harkinian began, "that you could storm in here and try to s--"
"King Harkinian," boomed a deep voice across the hall. "How nice it is to see you again. . ."
The King whipped around to face the doorway, and his jaw dropped. Several of the knights by the doors dropped their weapons, held their hands up, and began to back away slowly.
"I thought we'd warned you," the voice said; until finally the speaker indentified himself and stepped into the hall.
The King gasped. "Flynn!"
