Chapter 2: Wedding Arrangements and a Misterious Prince
It was getting closer to sunset as the carriege approached the castle gate.The guard immediatly opened the gate with one light pound on the ground with the bottom of his spear.The carriege entered and came to a stop infront of an elderly man of short grey hair and thick eyebrows.The King and Prince stepped out of the carriege and their guards formed lines beside them.Two guards were behind the King and two others behind the Prince.They slowly approached the elderly man who only said,
"You're late your highness.It isn't like you to be late.But please before you say anything follow me.The King and Princess await, we musn't keep them waiting any longer." Without another word said they followed the man to the front door of the castle and into it's sheltered walls.Past the main hall to the left they entered, through a long hallway and another turn to the right they now reached a large room with many books in its shelves surrounding the walls.A large table in the center had a few books set on its glossy surface , and behind the table near the window stood the King of Hyrule.
At a seat near by sat the Princess looking straight at the visitors with little emotion in her eyes as if she was lost in a dream.When she looked up she stood and bowed, "Greetings my lords, and please welcome.Would you care for something to drink? Oh! How rude of me ,please sit down, I am Princess Zelda and this is my father King Julius." The King turned around from the windows view of Hyrule and simply gave a small smile and ordered for the maid to come forth." Cassie, please offer these gentlemen a drink and take my daughter to her quarters so she can get ready for dinner.I also have buisness of wich must be discussed immediatly and I do not think it is an appropriate matter for a princess to have to listen to." "Yes my lord." with a slight bow the maid left with the princess who said her farewells and left the men to discuss whatever it was they were to discuss about.
As soon as Cassie returned with some tea, she was told to leave and let no one interrupt them, afterwich King Julious finally spoke to his guests, "Well it seems I am gathered here with the king of the Kingdom who has in so many long battles aided me.I do not wish to know why it is that you helped me but I do require that you tell me what it is that you want in return.I do apologize for my frankness but you must understand that I am a man who likes to get straight to the point without many discursions.So please if you are kind enough to answer me honestly, what do you want in return?" The other king hesitated, and gave a small glance towards his son.The prince stood up and bowed to the King of Hyrule , he turned towards his father and whispered something in his ear, "Father I shall leave you to your discussion with the King, I am a little bored and I need some time to breathe after being cooped up in that carriege all day.Call for me if you need me I shall be around the courtyard." He bowed once more and left the room.
After his depart the King of Osirian answered directly in a gentle but commanding voice." Julius, I know indeed how you are and I too would rather get straight to the point.And so without further delay I propose that we arrange marriege between your daughter and my son who just left.An alliance of this kind would benefit both you and I." "Ah but Christopher, we already have an alliance that has benefited both of us fairly well wouldn't you say so?" King Christopher smiled a bit ," Julius I do agree that we already have an alliance but imagine if both of our kingdoms united into one.Our kingdoms would be unstoppable and unvounarable!We could begin an empire! Our descendants would have everything!Imagine all the possiblities you and I could make." Julius sat down in thought and said,"You have a very good point there Christopher, and yes it is a wonderful idea to start an empire.Hmmm.Christopher come! We must discuss more of this together! Join us for dinner!Oh but one question I do ask out of pure curiosity, does your son know of this?"Christopher stood up and leaned his hand on the chair beside him,"No, Julius I haven't.My boy has these silly ideas of love coming first.He wants to marry by loves bond not buisness bond."
Julius thought for a moment ,"Well Christopher!Then let him fall in love, my daughter is easy on the eye and is very kind and gentle!She's the perfect woman, he will surely fall in love with her.Ho! Ho! Cristopher you worry too much!Now come onto dinner!Im starving!Ha ha ha!" The two men walked out of the room laughing and enjoying themselves.At that moment Terry appeared, he bowed at the two kings and spoke,"I beg your pardon your grace but I thought I might ask you for permission to attend to dinner with a friend.She lives at the ranch and if you will let me go you can send one of my comrades to bring me back before our departure home.May I attend the dinner your grace?" Cristopher thought a moment then said, "Why sure my boy! Go! Have fun! But I will send one of your comrades to retrieve you before our departure , so don't get too tangled up!"
Terry bowed once more in gratitude and turned to leave.In the hallway as Terry headed for the exit he bumped into the prince,"Oh your highness"Terry bowed "Dinner is being set for you and your father thay await for your arrival in the dining room."The Prince looked at him and in a gruesome tone said, "Yes indeed, they do await for my arrival.Might I ask were you are headed off to?" Terry looked quite confused at his Princes' sudden intrest in his affairs but answered anyway."I am headed off to the ranch your highness.I have a dinner apointment with a friend." The Prince looked in a slight shock at the mention of the ranch and then asked Terry,"You know Terry I am no fool, clearly you have shown interest in this young woman you met earlier in the market.Unlike my father I know why the carriege was delayed.I'll tell you one thing though, if you do end up in a relationship with the girl, you better take care of her.One that no harm befalls her and two that no man takes her from you!Be carefull Terry medling with women can be a dangerous buisness."With that the Prince turned and left.Leaving Terry very confused and with many questions.
'Why would he care if I had a relationship with Malon? why the whole 'be careful' thing?something is up with him.It isn't like him to mingle in peoples' buisness mine in the least.Oh well royalty'He walked on out of the castle onto his horse.He was soon on his way to meet with the ranch girl once more.
Back at the castle the Prince unwillingly ran into the princess just coming out of her chambers."Oh! My apologies milady I had no idea you were just coming out."He looked at the princess she certainly was very pretty.The dress she had was quite elegant and added to her luxury of jewelry.'Pretty indeed'He thought 'But none could ever match that of the woman I fell in love with once.A flower Zelda is, but a handmade flower.One made to be perfect with the riches of her father.Weras the woman I fell in love with was all real,she sprang from the soft earth and was made what she is by mother nature.My lovely-' "May I escort you to the dinner table your grace?"
The princess suddenly interrupted his thoughts.He nodded and together they walked down the hall."My lady, would you mind if along the way I ask you a few questions about Lon Lon Ranch?" The princess confused by his sudden question agreed by nodding her head."Alright then my lady who lives on the ranch?And what information do you have of them? I hope these aren't too many questions for you."He asked looking at her with a smile and thought a bit before she answered'I wonder if everything is still the same?' "No not at all, but first only two live on that ranch.Ingo brother to the recently deceased owner of the ranch, although he is the brother of the owner he remained the helping hand, as the ranch was left to the owners daughter,Malon.Malon is a young girl of my age I believe,and she is quite a beautiful young lady I hear.I have never been there but it seems like a very peaceful place, you should go and visit if you have the time, but I warn you to not be out there in those fields at night it is dangerous.So maybe if you stay you could visit tommorrow."She answered with a very sweet and gentle voice but with great knowledge.
"Thank you milady but after dinner Im afraid I must depart to Osirian once more, I left some unfinished buisness I must attend to quickly."They continued the rest of the way in silence and arrived shortly at the dining room were everyone had been waiting for them.The Kings smiled at eachother at seeing them arrive together."Julius let's wait for next week to announce the wedding, I must speak to my son about it carefully and you must speak to your daughter." The other King agreed and they went off to dinner.
