Guess what? I'm in a beautiful mood today. I got to talk to Greg, and whoopie. I made a new friend as well.

I also noticed how a few people found Agatha's description…well… a bit distasteful ;) sorry. I had just had to add that in there =P

Folks, I'm not gunna reply to every single review anymore. I will only answer questions. No, Saria will not be appearing in this fiction, I don't know how I could fit her in. I could try, but it'd be very very VERY awkward for me unless I was able to use her in something important like I did with Malon.

Oh yes, and Maureen… =P It's been taking your reviews.

I only wanna say a few things to a few people. Ayscoper, I'm sorry your leg got broken :( how in heck did that happen? And Thag and Rast…thank you so much :) Your reviews brought my self esteem up an extra notch.

NOW FOR THE ONE PERSON I WANT TO TALK TO!!!

Gah. Why must they always involve rape? Why must the female-(semi)antagonist be a whore? As a plot line to build dramatic tension or a way to evoke feelings for a charater it's poor. An overused, annoying cliche. I mean besides the fact that it really isn't that much of a LoZ fic (Give the characters all new names, get rid of the triforce stuff etc and no-one'd notice) this was a decent read. It's legible and interesting in parts. If you needed a whore character not only was it pointless to use Malon(Any maid could've be used without changing much) it's grating for those of us who're getting annoyed at seeing her raped every second fic.

Guess what buddy? I used her because I wanted to use her. And yeah, you know, maybe it WAS pointless to use her. But ya also know what? SHE FIT THE CHARACTER I WANTED TO USE!!! Ya know what? I admire Malon. I think she's the best character in the gaming world. I USED TO PRETEND I WAS MALON WHEN I FIRST GOT ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME!!!

I don't think I'll call this a flame. But I don't really like the way you're "attitude" is. If you don't like a certain element in the story that I put in there, then don't start going off about it how it is annoying and such. I really don't mind people yelling at me stuff like, "WHY'D YOU MAKE HER A WHORE!?!" Because I only expected as much when I started writing that chapter. But I get slightly annoyed when someone disagrees with the way I want my story line.

I know I'm ranting, but heck, I've had an irritating day. As for this not being much of a Legend of Zelda fiction, I know that. I purposely made the characters OOC, I put this in a whole new setting, but guess what? That's called alternative universe.

In the words of my dear friend Katie, "If you think every fic you read has a rape scene in it, GO BACK TO THE G RATED ONES, KIDDY!"

P.S. Thanks for the compliment.

Link sat in his room and crossed his arms. He had a very VERY contemplative look on face. He looked slightly irritated too. Navi was just sitting in the window plane, laughing. "So Link, getting your dose of jealousy?"

"Whatever," he mumbled. He was in no mood to talk to her. He knew the Prince was a fake, but he didn't know how to tell everyone without looking like a complete idiot. He had no proof, and they had all the stuff they needed to prove that he was a prince. But he still had a horrible feeling about Greg.

"Navi, something is wrong with him. I don't trust him."

Navi just shook her wings. "Don't you think I know that? But do you honestly think the princess would DARE take my word on it? I mean, she has tried to crush my wings, rip one of them off just to see me fly around in circles, squish my body completely, fend me off with bug repellent, and, oh yeah, what else? Hold me captive in a bottle? Surely we can't have forgotten that!" She crossed her arms and let out a small, "Hmph!"

"I thought you'd forgiven her for all those times by now," he looked down on the ground. "It has been almost a year since we've been serving Zelda. I think you would've gotten used to it by now."

"Um, NO!?" She fluttered around the room irately. "How could you think that I'd get used to being NEARLY KILLED!?!"

"You're over reacting, she wouldn't have done any of that." He sighed. "We need to get back onto the topic of Greg! We need to find a way to prove he's not a real prince and that he's really some evil person!"

Navi started mumbling some choice words, along the lines of him being the one over reacting, but she sat back down on her window plane, and smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt. "If you're asking me, I say we wait."

Link looked at her, "Hm?"

"He obviously isn't going to give us a chance at all to be able to discover who he is, and where he really came from."

"I know that Navi, but what do we do?" He asked, getting a tad bit impatient with the story.

"Absolutely nothing."

"What!?" He thought she was telling him that he should just forget about it.

"He isn't going to give his away his identity, and he's not going to just all the sudden make some huge mistake that we can point out and prove him wrong. It's obviously a waiting game until he makes a move, and then we rescue the princess and she can do to him as she sees fit." She fluttered her wings irritably. "Honestly, Link! I would've thought that you could figure that out by now! Has a silly little fantasy in your mind really driven you that far off from thinking correctly?"

He blinked a little. Then he threw his hood at her. "I don't have silly fantasies! I'm concerned about Zelda, and that's it!"

She just dodged the cap then irately fluttered over to him. "Don't you think I can sense a silly boyish crush? You even seem to slip when addressing her lately! The only reason why you call her Princess now is because she yelled at you the other day. Otherwise, you'd keep on slipping and calling her by her real name!"

He shook his hand and flicked her away with his fingers. "You don't know anything, now we need to get some sleep." He laid down and curled up to his covers, thinking about what she said.

She didn't say anything, but only smiled triumphantly. Him flicking her away just because of something she said was all she needed to confirm her suspicion that everything she had said struck the bell of truth in his heart.

In the morning, Zelda never really felt the need to wake up early. She was used to Link coming and knocking on her door. That's why Link was surprised when he didn't see her in her room when he got up to come wake her up.

"Princess?" He asked softly, and knocked a few times.

There was no answer.

"Zelda?" He tried again, and knocked a few more times.

There was no answer again.

This time he knocked harder and started raising his voice. "Princess Zelda, you need to wake up now!"

Impa was walking by and stared at Link. He looked at her and sheepishly grinned. "Hello…" he said.

"The princess is downstairs eating breakfast with Prince Greg." She walked off, and smiled at the thought of the princess getting up early to impress her guest.

Link just stood there, and felt a bubble of jealousy start up in his stomach. Then he reminded himself that it was only his hate and loathing for Greg, since he was supposedly an evil person. He walked away from the door, pretending like nothing had happened, and started walking down the tower steps.

When he got there, he hid from sight so he wouldn't be invited to sit at the table. He wanted to watch the prince and princess closely and he knew he couldn't do that if they knew he was staring at them. He was surprised to see her laughing at some stupid corny line that Greg had used in his opinion.

"You're company is so joyful!" She said in a fit of giggles, holding her hand out.

He took her hand, and kissed the top of it which rewarded him with a blush. "But yours makes it even better."

She took her hand away and blushed even more. "Surely you can't mean that!"

Link got irritated and came out of hiding. He looked at her smiled. "Hello, Princess Zelda."

Zelda looked behind her and looked surprised to see Link. She was surprised to find that she had almost forgotten about him. Her voice grew cold and harsh, as he recognized, as she spoke to him. "Come, join."

Greg looked at Link and recognized him as the person that Agatha had warned him about. Then he looked at Zelda and smiled charmingly. "I didn't think you allowed…servants at the table with you as if guests."

She blushed a little, ashamed of herself for showing formality with Link. "He is my personal servant, I let him stay with me at all times."

He just shook his head and made a clicking noise with his tongue. "You shouldn't trust a servant like that. They can turn out to be back stabbers." He smirked in Link's direction. "Atleast in my experience anyways."

"I don't think I'll be back stabbing Zelda any time soon," Link said in a reply, then immediately wished he hadn't at the scared look of Zelda's face. He knew he had just embarrassed her by using her name in front of a guest so familiar like. "I mean, the Princess Zelda." He corrected himself. They still looked at him as if he had put poison in all of their drinks. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have opened my mouth," he quietly said.

Princess Zelda put a hand to her mouth, and then quickly tried to get Link out of the room. "Link, I think it'd be best if you went –"

"You're not going to punish him?" Greg inquired of her.

"I see no need if-"

"A good servant is a one with a lot of beatings. Servants who have never been whipped often get too cocky and too familiar with their owners. That's exactly how they back stab you. They get too close to the real you, then you have a knife in your back."

"But he said-"

"There should've never been an apology needed in the first place if he was a good servant."

She stopped trying to talk, then glared at him. "I think I will handle my slaves as I want, Prince Greg." Then she turned her gaze to Link. "Go to the kitchens, and help clean. And never forget to address me as Princess again."

Link nodded and hurried to the kitchen, thankful that Zelda must've had a VERY good dream for her to let him off that easily, especially in front of a guest.
