*The fest*

"I asked my father to make this wonderful fest to thank you"-Zelda said as link pushed her chair in as she sat down. She pointed at the chair next to her for him to sit there. As he pulled his chair out, an old man, also grabbed the chair putting his hand on top of Link's looking at the kid, telling him with the glare that, that special place was his.

"You could sit on the other side, professor."-Zelda said to the man, as he only grumbled leaving the chair to Link. The old man was a grumpy man but it was obvious Zelda had a good relationship with her professor since he got to sit next to her. She would spend most of her time with him or her mentor Impa, she had Hylian history class and piano class on Mondays, Science on Thursdays, Math and piano on Wednesdays, Social, signing and theater on Thursdays, and Piano on Fridays. She was a very good student, which made her professor and her have a strong bond.

Link took a place next to Zelda when the King accompanied by man came through the main entrance of the dining room and between laughter the King introduced the Capitan to Link.

"Capitan Orsen, this young man is Link, Link this is the Capitan, He will be your mentor and responsible for you from now on."- The king said as he walked to his obvious seat, almost as elegant as his throne, next to him his wife, the queen, and in the other side, Zelda. It was an honor to be as close to the King as Link was. As they all took their seats, the servants made their entrance with the fest. Link's eyes widen as he saw the enormous dishes that the cookers had prepare. He had never seen most of those things in his past and present life.

They all finish their dinner among laughter and conversations. Link had never had a family, and never know this feeling, what was like to have dinner with people close to you, at least Zelda was and now Capitan Orsen. He lived alone in a little house in Kakariko Village back in time, a couple of times he invited girls to have dinner and have them as dessert afterwards but it was not the same feeling at all.

After dinner, he and Zelda went to the back yard to walk a little before going to their respective rooms. Link was staring at how beautiful Zelda looked under the light of the moon, why was he looking at those details. He had never cared about little things like that, Zelda's eyes were glazing, and staring up at the sky admiring the moon as link was admiring her.

"What a lovely night, look at the stars link?"-Her eyes did not stopped admiring the sky.

"They are beautiful"-Link said gazing at her. What is happening? Link said to himself as his heart started to skip a beat when he started to get his hand close to hers. He had been with many women before and holding hands made him that nervous. Yea he was the possessor of courage but this was different than fighting Stalfos or his own shadow. This was different than being with any other whore who would do anything to be with him, why wouldn't they, he was handsome and strong, the scars he had in his body because of battle made him more attractive to girls for some reason.

Zelda finally brought her eyes down to meet with Link's, she looked at him for a moment, and noticed how Link was staring at her, she then brought her eyes down in response of Link's touch. She had never had contact with a male like that. She had never felt a touch like Link's.

Butterflies started to fly around her belly. She blushed as she encountered Link's eyes once again.

"Come on let's go it's getting late, I don't want Impa to have a bad impression of me" Link said in a sweet chuckle and finally grabbed her hand to start walking back to the main foyer. Going to the corridor Link carefully guided Zelda up the stairs holding her hand to make sure she wouldn't fall, Zelda knew how to walk or so she thought but being around Link made her legs weak and he noticed it doing everything possible to let her know he was going to watch after her.

Not because the king had asked him but because he cared about her, he wanted her to be safe.

"Your highness…" Link bowed to Zelda teasing her, he already knew that she wanted no formalities between them two. Zelda just frown as Link gave her a playful smile. She then realize this teasing game was barley starting and Link did not plan on stopping any time soon.

Link pulled her by her hand and give her a kiss in the cheek. He smiled followed the action he had done just to make sure Zelda was a little more comfortable, which she was not. It was not that she was uncomfortable by the kiss or the awkward silence afterwards but it was the first boy who had ever give her a kiss. EVER. Maybe it was not on the lips but she was surprised by Link's sudden act. With her free hand Zelda touched her face trying to comprehend what link had just done. She blushed to her thoughts and looked straight into Link's eyes in surprised.

"Good night… Zelda"-He smiled and turned to walk away from her towards his room.

She watched link walk in a playful way to his room, the room the butler had showed him earlier.

Zelda then went to her room after making sure Link did not get lost or entered into the wrong room since they were all similar. Zelda's room was gold and pink. She loved to be girly and the gold reminded her that she was the princess of this kingdom, her furniture clean and neat. She was a very organized girl and liked to have everything in order, either by color or season.

She let herself fall to her bed without getting her hand off her cheek in the thought of what had happened earlier. Those images going through her head over and over again. Those butterflies wanted to escape her belly and tried harder every time she thought about Link. She then fell asleep thinking about that feeling Link had caused and those butterflies flying around her stomach.

*The next morning*

"My princess…*Knock*….Good morning" Impa enter Zelda's room with a tray on her hands, toasted bread, blueberry Jelly, orange juice and a bowl with oatmeal. She sure had a nice breakfast before getting ready for her classes. It was Friday, only piano class for her which made her excited about today. She loved to play the piano and hated the other classes. Also she got to go outside the walls of the castle on Fridays to wonder around the town market, with company of course. Lots and lots of company.

Impa made her way out Zelda's room to let her finished her breakfast. Not even 5 minutes passed by and Link make sure no one was around.

*Knock, Knock* "Impa I am not ready to get dressed just yet….."

"Good morning princes"-Link interrupted her by greeting acting as Impa going to into her room. Zelda cover herself since she was in her pajamas. Link could not see her like that plus he was already dressed in his regular white leggings, an undershirt and Kokiri green tunic. He was not allowed to use his weapons since he was not a knight yet.

"GET OUT!"-Zelda was blushing bright red because of the embarrassment. Link just giggled at her reaction. He always thought she was cute when she blushed, it made him feel that he had some kind of power over her.

Zelda heard steps rushing outside her door realizing her screaming was going to bring Impa and some of the guards into her room. They could not see Link in there or he was going to be in big trouble. Without thinking about it she grabbed his hand and pushed him into the walk-in closet closing the doors behind her just in time before the guards enter the room.

"ARE YOU OKAY PRINCESS?!"-the guards were kind of rough in these situations and made Zelda who was already expecting them jump a little because of the screaming. Link was chuckling inside the closet almost suffocating.

"I am fine….Please get out can't you see I am not dressed!"-She was not a good liar and had to think of something quick before Link died of lack of oxygen inside her closet.

As the guards closed the door of Zelda's room behind them she opened the closet to let Link fall to her feet with a purple face trying to get as much oxygen as possible.

Zelda just giggle to what just happened and hand Link her hand to help him stand up.

"You should not be walking into people's room like nothing Link"-she smiled at him helping him get up.

"Sorry Zelda I was really excited about walking you to the market today I could not just stay in my room waiting for your class to be over"

"Well Link you will have to…. Wait...WHAT?!...You are going to walk me to the market?!"

"Yes princess…I…Mean…Zelda I got asked by the king to accompany you in your Friday journey to the market…If you want I can tell him you feel more comfortable with you usual companions."

Link knew he could not tell her that the King had asked him to watch over her but it was ok for him to tell her this right? Besides they got to spend time together and just to think him and Zelda were going to be alone was more than gratifying. Link was young but the boy had some skill, Capitan Orsen gave a good feedback to the King about that little detail.

"No…its fine…I want you to go with me…"-she said blushing. Why did Link made her blush so easily? Was it because of his presence?

"Ok then I need you to get out of here so I can get ready"- She rapidly reacted to her blushing and trying to avoid Link he followed her orders and left the room.

Zelda was going to the market which mean she had to dress as casual as possible. She did not want any attention from the people outside, not that it bother her, but she did not like attention as much, less from people she did not know. A white dress with a gold lace falling at the waist. Too much for not wanting attention but it was a comfortable dress to walk around in.

Her piano class ended and Zelda walked towards the Capitan Orsen academy right outside the castle just before the exit of the royal territory. It was conveniently placed there since all the knights and guards lived there. Perfect for the protection of the castle and royal family. She walked in looking for the one who was to walk her to the market.

The guards in surprised of seeing such a presence in the academy. It was not thinkable that someone with such a high place in the royal family would walk in the academy. Such an honor.

The princess spotted Link training with his fellow friend soldiers. He had such an outgoing personality he made friends easily. He also was so good at managing the sword as if it was a feather and defeating knights, soldiers and guards so easily he also created some hate among some of the men. The skills he possessed, the experience and of course his courage, Link was going to be a knight in no time.

Zelda herd some of the guards talking about Link, 'he is just a kid' and 'he should not be here' comments made her a upset, she cleared her throat making her presence more than noticeable for those guards who after seeing her apologized and went back to duties.

"LINK!"-Zelda waved her hand for Link to be able to spot her in all the mess that was going around with the knights and guards running from one place to another, training and fighting. Not that her high pitch voice was enough for him to spot her, also, she was the only person in the building that was not wearing a heavy metal armor or any kind of equipment.

"Zelda!"- Link ran to her spot and bowed her before

"I'm glad you are done with your piano class"-Zelda smiled at his comment and grabbed him by the hand leading him out the academy, just to exit the royal territory and into the market.

*At the market*

Zelda was there every Friday but every time she left her royal bubble, she was fascinated by the people of her kingdom. Not only that, the smell of fresh bread and the fruit. It seemed as she was a little girl in the candy store.

"GOOD MORNING LINK!"-People greeted, of course they knew him, not only he had contact with them in the other time, but he went and buy some things before going to talk to the princess the first time he came back from defeating Ganondorf.

Link only followed her falling behind a couple of steps, he did not wanted to get in her way. She called his name a couple of times to show him different things that the market had to offer but Link was not as excited as she was, maybe because he has seen this before. Or because he recognized some of the faces of some girls that he had screwed around with. Something seemed off, and Zelda noticed this.

"L-Link…are you ok?"-her face filed with worried made Link feel at ease but there was something that bothered him and could not stop thinking about.

Zelda knew the market well, but not the outsides of the kingdom. Being next to Link she felt secure about exploring a little farther now that no guards or Impa were following she was able to break the rules just a little, plus exploring with his friend was going to make Link forget about what seemed to be bothering him. Right?

"Would you….Take me to the village outside the kingdom?"-Zelda asked him a little worried of what his answer was going to be.

"I don't think we should Zelda. I don't want to put you in danger."-Just as Zelda feared but he was being honest. Link did not wanted Zelda to get hurt by any reason, either of a fall or by any kind of ambush attack.

"Please…"-Zelda made her puppy eyes which worked with almost everyone except of course for Link.

"I'll take you to the outsides, but we are not going to the village."-Link was somewhat bothered by this, did he wanted to get out of the market? Maybe he was afraid to encounter some other people he knew. Someone…He knew….

Link grabbed Zelda's hand and made it through the crowded market just to get to the bridge. The main entrance to the kingdom.

Zelda's face glow in excitement; how was it possible she was going to be the queen of Hyrule and she did not know about the beauty of her country? Far beyond LonLon Ranch was visible, also the Death Mountain right above Kakariko Village it was all visible from the main entrance of the kingdom.

Link's face focused only on one place while Zelda looked around amazed by the beauty of her country. Zelda the realized that Link was a kokiri boy, he was a Hylian but raised with the kokiri tribe at the forbidden forest. His eyes locked to the Forbidden forest entrance. Link had friends and now that he was stuck at the kingdom to protect the princess he was not going to be able to see them anymore.

"L-Link…"-Zelda tried to comfort him by holding his hand but Link just kept his eyes locked to that place.

"We should go back Zelda….It's getting dark and you father is going to grow worry about you."-Link brought his eyes with deception and turned to walk into the kingdom letting go of her hand. Zelda just stayed behind him wondering what Link was thinking about and also she felt bad when Link drop her hand to go back. She was his friend she wanted to know how he felt. She had the right to know. She also wanted him to be happy. She wanted to comfort him.

Link's glare seem sad, lost in painful thoughts. Zelda started to walk behind him grabbing a piece of his tunic. Link stopped for a moment and felt the support of Zelda and like that, they both started to walk back to the market and into the Royal territory.

As they got to the entrance of the academy Zelda stopped him. Link knew he had to walk her back to the castle but Zelda wanted to talk to him before going back to her boring life. She was confident of letting him know she was there for him even though he already knew that

"L-Link…."-He did not even try to follow the conversation and kept his eyes wondering into the floor.

"You want…. to go see her….. don't you?"-Link rapidly looked for Zelda's eyes and stared at her with wonder. How did she know about his precious friend? How did she know about SARIA?

"How….do you…"Link's voice break at the question

"I am THE princess of Hyrule…Link…I must know about every person in my kingdom"-She lied. She knew she was a sage. In reality she did not know she was a sage but Zelda had the power of Wisdom, and she had dreamed about Link in the past. Without any clue she just guessed it was about a girl by the look of Link's eyes. The way he looked at the entrance of the forbidden forest. It was crystal clear for Zelda.

"I would like to know more about her"-Link seemed surprised by her words, his eyes filled with water but did not let a single drop fall from them. He forced out a smile and grabbed her hand just to guide her towards the castle.

"Someday…."Link gazed into the open field that lead to the main garden.

"I am going to go see her" His looked has changed, Zelda did not take her eyes off him the entire walk to the castle.

"May I know her name?...Link?"-Zelda asked glazing at him. Link notice deep in her question she was worried about him, leaving her?

It was confusing he Loved Zelda more than anyone he had already figured that out; but Saria, she was the only friend Link had before Navi encouraged him to their adventure, Saria… The only one that didn't care that Link did not owned a fairy. The one that would step up to defend him when he got bullied by the other kokiri.

"Saria…"His eyes filed with happiness at the sound of her name.

Zelda felt a knot in her stomach, where were those butterflies that would try to escape when she was around Link? Was she jealous of how Link pronounced Saria's name. Somehow it sounded different from the way he said her name.

Zelda wanted to make Link happy, but did she have to give him up for that. HOLD ON….. Did Zelda wanted Link for herself?

Link was her only friend and she did not really feel like sharing him with any other girl. Zelda was jealous but she had to keep it to herself for Link to tell her all about this girl.

The princess wanted her knight to be with her. That was the moment when Zelda realized she liked Link more than just a friend.
