Disclaimer: God, do I have to do this every time I post a chapter. I don't own Zelda. There, I'm done.
The legend of Zelda: The darkest Heart.
Chapter three: Fall of a Hero, Death of a King, and Rise of Evil.
"Dead!" Link and Navi yelled in Unison.
"Yes, and apparently my father had arranged a marriage that would take place after he passed away." Zelda said sadly.
"But…but." Link sputtered.
"You're only twelve!" Navi spoke up for Link
Zelda looked at them solemnly. "I know, but my father made it clear that I marry a week after his death. I don't think he thought he would die so soon."
Link looked at her, mouth still agape. "I was only gone for three days, and the King wasn't that old, so, how did he die?" Link asked.
Zelda looked close to tears. "Assassinated. By whom, we don't know."
Link's face was now void of emotion.
"Link, how have you been?" Zelda asked, trying to change the subject.
"Why did you call me?" Link asked, ignoring her question.
"Oh, well…I wanted you to go to Guerdos Valley and seek information about the assassin, we think it was one of the Guerdos, but we're not sure."
"No, I'm sorry, Queen, but I'm done being a hero, go find someone else who is more apt to do your dirty work" Link said, already over the shock of the kings death.
Zelda looked puzzled for a second, but then, her voice contorted into anger. "No, I asked you to do this, and I expect you to follow your Queens orders. If you do not do as I asked I will have no choice but to put you under arrest!" Zelda tried using her stats.
Link's face remained emotionless. "Really? What law did I break?" Link asked.
"Disobeying the Queen." She said simply.
"Fine, I'll go check it out then" Link said, now turning his back to Zelda and walking towards the exit.
Zelda's anger was replaced by confusion. i "That was a bit too easy." /I
"Link, you gave in a little to easy, didn't you?" Navi said to the boy.
"No, I'm going to check it out, but I won't be leaving the fortress until I grow up. I'm gonna stay with those women and train as long as I can. Zelda has no rule in that area so I'll be fine." Link said simply.

Two days later…
"My Queen, are you ready for the wedding?" A man asked from behind the young girl.
"Yes, are you, Zetim?" Zelda replied to the Man who was dressed in extravagant clothing.
"Of course." The man said.
