Her

We get up a minute after saying those special words. She puts her hood on before we climb down the tower. not wanting to attract attention to herself and I. "I should really be getting back, they should be wondering where I am right now, especially on the wedding day." I give a look of sadness, as she says the last few words. We hug one last time before going our separate ways. We start to walk in different directions, but not 3 steps into it I turn around and call her name, "Zelda, I want you to know, I will always be with you, one way or another." She nods to me as I see her start to tear up, knowing I meant every word. We walk our own directions until we can no longer see each other in the distance.

I head back to the Inn, wishing that everyday, could be like last night. Just me and Zelda, in each others arms, not caring about anyone else in the world. I get to the Inn noticing that everyone is outside. I look around, wondering what they are doing. I ask the owner why they're outside, to get him explaining to me about the Royal wedding. "I thought it wasn't for another 3 hours?" I say. "It is in 3 hours, but the earlier your out, the better position you get to watch the wedding." I smirk when he tells me this, knowing that where I'm going, I will be getting the best view.

I climb up the building across from the wedding, having clear view of everything that will happen. I know that it will pain me to watch, but I want to send a message to her, telling her I meant ever single word I said last night.

I walk through the castle doors to see guards and my fiancé surround me with worried looks. "What? Cant I take a walk during the night." I say impatiently as I start walking to my bedroom. My fiancé walks beside, saying how much he was worried about me, but I know he's lying. All he wants is power, if I had a choice I would cancel the wedding right now, but sadly I do not. The people thinks its best that I finally get married and have someone ruling next to me. I tell him that I am fine and that he should be getting ready for the wedding. He agrees as he starts to walk to his own chambers.

I open the doors to my bedroom to see the dress I picked out, laying on my bed. I get dressed into it as I look into the mirror, seeing how it looks on me. I go and sit down to do my makeup and hair, looking carefully in the mirror as I do so, not wanting to mess it up. I think of Link as I look at myself in the mirror, thinking of how he should've been the man I marry, not the one I'm about to marry now. A tear escapes my eye as I think about him, knowing what could've been. A maid knocks on my door and slowly opens it, telling me that I need to finish up. I get up and walk out my door ready to do what's best for Hyrule.

I wait for hours for the wedding to start, seeing the decorations get put up and the crowds trying to get a better view over one another. I lay down and look up to the sky, starting to daydream about what could've have been. I could be standing there in front of Zelda, not the other guy. I snap out of it when I hear multiple horns being blown, catching the attention of everyone in Castle Town. I get up and look to see what's going on, but then I see her walk out.

My jaw drops. She looks even more stunning than when she was at the ball. Her hair looking like a goddess designed it, her dress looking as if it was made in the heavens, and who face glowing in the sun. She slowly walks down the aisle, leaving everyone she walks by in awe. She meets her fiancé at the end. I painfully watch the ritual, knowing that the is not what Zelda wants, but has to do.

When the priest ask the man if he will take Zelda as his wife, he says "I do"

When he asks Zelda if she will take her fiancé as her husband she doesn't answer. I see her looking around the rooftops until she spots me. We exchange glances as I see her smile at me, knowing she got the message. I look down, as I hear the inevitable words "I do." I run across rooftop to rooftop, trying to get as far away from the ceremony as I can, to be alone. I head up to the North Tower to find peace, trying to supress my internal pain, whispering "I love you," as I stare off into Hyrule.

Being face to face with my fiancé, the priest asks me "Princess Zelda, will you take this man as your loving husband?" I turn my head away, scanning the roofs until I see him. He smiles at me as we both look into each others eyes. "One way or another," I whisper to myself, knowing that he wasn't lying when he said it. I say "I do," while I still look at Link, picturing that I'm truly saying it to him and not to the man in front of me. I turn a second later after I say I do, seeing a puzzled priest and man in front of me. The priest announces us man and wife, as the crowd starts cheering for joy.

I put on a fake smile, knowing that it pained Link to watch this as much as it pained me to do it. I look up to see him gone. Wondering where he is, I whisper to myself "goodbye, my love."
