Sorry it took so long to start this but I was doing some Fiction Press stuff. Well that's all I have for now
A Servant's Destiny
Ch.3 A Personal Servant
OoooOoooOoooOoooO
Several weeks had passed since Seth took Link out to the town, and the Harvest Festival was drawing near. It seemed Seth passed Link a lot more often then before. Of course neither were complaining they both enjoyed being with each other. It was Thursday when Link's Father called him to the throne room.
"Hello Father," Link said cheerfully, he had just finished talking with Seth.
"Ah hello Son," the King said from his throne. The throne room was very large with a single throne at one end where King Hylia sat. There were large drapes over the many windows each holding the royal crest. The King himself was slowly ageing though it showed only slightly. He had blond hair which was slowly graying. He was a bit pudgy though it was nothing to worry about. A large crown rested upon his head high above his blue eyes.
"Now I have been thinking and I do believe it is time for you to get yourself a personal servant," King Hylia said standing up and walking over to his son.
"A personal servant?" Link asked curiously.
"Yes you know he will move into the room next to yours' and will do various tasks you need done," he said turning to look out the window, "In fact I think I have someone in mind for you."
"Really? Who?" Link said disappointedly.
"His name is Blake Crone,"
"Um sir can I pick out my own servant?" Link asked cautiously.
"Well… I don't see why not. You should pick one out tomorrow," his father said.
"Thank you," Link said bowing slightly and quickly retreating.
The next day Seth was quietly eating his lunch in the servant's mess hall. He dipped his spoon into his chicken soup and brought it up to his mouth. He always sat alone at the same table everyday. Of the many servants and maids none of them ever sat down with him. They all thought he was a freak or something. Seth didn't let it get to him though, now he would just think of when he would see Link again. Link made the daily beatings he got from Damon almost bearable. Seth hadn't seen Link since the day before though. They two had grown very close even though they only saw each other at most a half hour per day, sometimes though Link would sneak down to the servant's quarters to talk with him.
Suddenly the wooden set of double doors opened loudly revealing Damon, and Link who was flanked by two royal guards.
"All right all you boys get in a line Prince Link needs to pick out a personal servant!" Damon shouted loudly. Seth quickly noted that Link didn't tell Damon to just call him Link. Almost instantly all the boys lined up next to each other. Seth got pushed all the way to the end of the line. He didn't mind though since he knew Link would just pick someone better but at least he would be able to talk to Link for a little bit.
Link slowly walked down the line not really looking at anyone in particular. The young prince seemed to be looking for someone in particular and completely ignored Damon as he pointed out the qualities of some of the boys. Link finally reached the end of the line. The blue eyed boy smiled at Seth. Seth smiled back lightly blushing at the fact that the other boys seemed jealous that Link had smiled at him. They must think he's going to pick me.
"Ok, I pick him," Link said pointing to Seth.
"M-me?" Seth asked blushing. Link just nodded his head.
"Please sir you should reconsider," Damon said glaring at Seth, "This boy is a disgrace to all servants. He bumbles about and messes up a lot and he's incredibly frail. There are much better boys here." Damon pleaded.
"No, I want this boy to be my servant," Link said glaring at the Servant Master. Damon bowed deeply in apology.
"What's your name?" Link asked smiling at Seth
"Seth-Seth Wright," Seth said blushing a deep crimson. He was incredibly happy that now he could spend as much time as he wanted with Link.
"Are you going to blush whenever you talk?" Link asked jokingly. Seth blushed if possible an even deeper shade of red. Why do I blush so much around him? Seth pondered this quietly until he was interrupted by Link. "Ok you will have to wait until Sunday to move to your new rooms ok? But you won't have to do any work until then," Seth simply nodded. Link quickly leaned in and whispered, "Come by my rooms Saturday and you can get some new clothes ok?" Seth nodded again.
Link quickly retreated from the room after a small wave to Seth and was soon followed by Damon and the two Royal Guards. All the boys went back to eating though they all shot Seth glares of hate. Seth however just ignored them. He felt all floaty inside because Link picked him and that meant that Link liked him! He quickly finished eating and ran back to his room.
The days slowly dragged on and after what seemed like an eternity Saturday finally came. The young boy practically floated all the way to the Prince's chambers. He gently knocked on the door and Link opened it welcoming him.
"Over here is Madam Lonel. She is the royal seamstress," Link led him through the lavishly decorated room to a small stool where a rather old and wrinkly woman stood.
"Ah so you are the boy young Prince Link wants clothes for?" she said. Even her voice seemed old, "Well what are you waiting for? Come up here child." She pointed to the stool. Seth stepped up onto the stool quietly. Madam Lonel handed Seth a tunic and a pair of pants. Seth felt the material, they were made of blue silk.
"Th-this is for me?" Seth asked amazed.
"Yes yes now hurry and put them on," Madam Lonel said before Link could even say a word.
"You-you mean here? With you two?" Seth asked blushing. The real reason he didn't want to change though was because of the scars he had gotten from Damon.
"Yes in front of us!" she said irritably.
"Madam Lonel if you would just excuse us for a moment," Link commanded more then asked. Madam Lonel looked a bit insulted but she quietly left the room. Once the door closed Link spoke again, "Is something wrong?" Link knew Seth way too well.
"No nothings wrong," Seth said looking down.
"Please you can tell me," Link almost begged.
"How can I know that?" Seth said irritably. For some reason he had started to believe that Link would break his trust just like everyone else had.
"Because- because…," Link said trying to think of a reason. Then suddenly he pulled the brunette of off the stool. Seth just stood there shocked as Link leaned in closer and pressed his lips against Seth's. It felt so good that Seth relaxed into the kiss as Link wrapped his arms around him. Link broke the kiss and looked into Seth's brown eyes, "Because I love you."
"I-I love you too," Seth said breathlessly. Link smiled. "But if you love me then trust me that it's nothing. It'll be solved by tomorrow I promise," Seth said looking into those blue eyes he loved.
"Ok," Seth said reluctantly, "You put those on while I get Madam Lonel ok?" Seth nodded happily.
"I love you,"
"I love you too," Link said smiling happily.
OoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooOoooO
Kind of short and a bit rushed I think. Hope you liked it though. Don't forget to review. Until next time.
