Link clicked his tongue and rolled the Princess' words around in his thoughts like a fine wine. "King?" He spoke the word outloud, the title, and by the Princess' demeanor, a sure thing.

The Hero turned and shook his head with a slight smile quirked on the tips of his lips. "Perhaps."

"Ah, Sir Link!" The youth turned and clapsed the hand of another of Princess Zelda's advisors and gave a respectable bow.

"What may I do for you, Millord?"

The man, in his late forties, took a large breath. "I have a message for you!"

"Message?" Link's face formed his trademark look of shock with his eyes wide and mouth slighly agap. "You, Millord, delivering me a message? We have Carriers for such a purpose!"

The Advisor, whose name was Duplin, beamed and it surprised Link when he voiced with such pride in his voice. "It was an honor, Sir! You have saved us, the Kingdom, countless times and I wished to deliever this myself."

Link smiled and clapped Duplin on the back. "Thank you, Lord Duplin, I am honored by your respect." The man returned such words of kindness and after a moments pause, Link asked. "So, Millord, what is the message?"

"Your son wishes for you to join him in the stables."

Link beamed. "My boy?"

"Yes, Sir Link. He wants to...well, he has a surpirse." The Advisor mirrored the youth's happy face and with a equally respectful good-bye, they parted.

The Hero slipped behind a large tapestry that concealed on of the secret passageways through Hyrule Castle. He made it to the Stables in a matter of minutes where his son, Wolfgang, was sitting upon a pile of chopped logs.

"Father!" Wolfgang dashed to the young man, only twenty three, and was swung into the air with ease.

Link's face broke out into one of pure fatherly affection as he clasped his adopted, five year old to his chest. "What is it, Wolf?"

"I have found somthing, Da." The boy whispered and waved his fingers about as if to emphasize mystery.

Link winked. "Oh? What did you find?"

"An egg!" Wolfgang thrust a large egg into gloved hands which Link quickly recognized as being that of a dragon.

"Wolf..." Link spoke, slowly, trying to remain calm. "Who gave this to you, son?"

The boy sensed his father's rising anxiety and stared at the ground with deep worry written across his adorable features. His bright green eyes began to tear up behind nearly white blonde hair. "Did I do something bad, Da?"

Link sighed and placed his hand upon his child's cheek. "No." He slipped his hands through the boy's curly locks and smiled, clasping the back of his neck. "Come, we will worry about this later." Link lifted his son onto his shoulders and carred him out of the Stables to the Castle.

A figure peered out of a large stained glass window and smiled. "Wolfie."

Sharp blues eyes found that figure and gave a small salute. "Hey, Wolf, do you want to go see the Princess?"

The boy gasped in excitement. "Oh really, Father! Can we, Da, really?"

Link chuckled. "Yes, I have a feeling she wants to see you too."

Servants and Knights alike greeted the five year old riding along the shoulders of the happy Hero of Time and the boy would bow, as his father had shown him, to the people who appeared Royal.

They arrived at the Princess' Study in several minutes and Link sat Wolfgang down.

"Can I knock?"

Link smiled and threw his hands out toward the door. "Be my guest."

The small boy formed a tight fist and as he went to knock, the door opened to reveal Hyrule's most beautiful woman. Princess Zelda. "Wolfgang!"

Link smirked as his son made a loud squeaking noise and slipped behind his legs. "Good evening, Princess."

"Good evening, Sir Link." Zelda smiled and appeared very comfortable in the garments she wore which was a plain pink dress.

They shared a look that could almost be interpreted as knowing then both focused on the boy. "This is my son, as you know, Wolfgang."

"I remember when you brought him to visit me one night." She smiled and in the night tears seemed to form in those violet eyes. "You were such a beautiful baby, Wolfgang."

The boy blushed. "T-thank you, Princess."

"Call me Zelda."

Link smiled at the Princess."Do I sense favortism, Princess?"

"Are you jealous, Sir Link?"

He grinned. "Perhaps."

Wolfgang peaked behind the Princess and recognized something very quickly. "My blankie!"

Zelda paled. "Wolfgang, no-" The boy rushed passed her and grasped the cloth in his hands, hugging it to his chest. It had been laying across a couch within the Princess' Study.

Link made a very odd quick search of the halls and followed Zelda into the room when she beckoned him.
