..

"I'm sorry link I know that's a stupid question.." Her voice was starting to crack. "I know your not allowed to love someone with my status.. my father would die if you loved me, he wouldn't ever take the chance of a handsome peasant loving me. He needs me to marry a young prince that has status or I mean nothing to Hyrule….nothing to him." I didn't know whether she was complimenting me or insulting me, and I surely didn't know where she was getting at. I hung on to each word that was coming out of her mouth, hoping something uplifting would escape her lips. She just sighed and took another deep breathe then took her focus off of the sunset and looked at me.

"But link…..I don't care what he say or thinks. So I'll ask you again, just be honest. Do you or you do not love me? Please…" I opened my mouth to answer, and by goddesses I was about to tell her how I truly felt, but then she spoke

"Because I love you…."

What, Did the Princess of Hyrule really just tell me she loves me? Is she kidding or is she serious. Could someone with such a status and immense beauty really love an average looking, dirty, no status young man like me?

"You..you do...?" She brought her smile back to me.

"Link, it feels like I've been in love with you for a whole lifetime, I can't imagine it feeling right with anyone else…"

No way..

"Zelda….I..I'm honored…" She let out a surprising laugh, it seemed almost forced. She put her head down and let out a long sigh. It's like she had wanted to get it off her chest for a good while.

"It's okay if you don't feel the same way, I know it's impossible to ever…" I slammed my mouth against hers, almost with too much force, she fell back a little. But I've wanted to do this for such a long time; it was starting to bring me pain to not be able to touch her.

"Link…" She took a deep breath as she pushed me back.

"I feel the same way Zelda, and don't ever think for a damn minute I don't."

All she could do at that point was smile and kiss me back. After that we went on dating for a good long while. Went out almost every night, shared our happiness and worries, comforted each other, assured one another that'd we'd be together forever, you know marriage and kids, But it wasn't the normal dating scene from the start. I knew it was sort of funny. She told me that no one could know about this. Hell even Navi would count as someone. She was afraid her dad would find out and not only banish me from the Castle but might would end up having me killed, I didn't question then on how we'd be able to get our relationship furthered with kids and marriage, but, to be honest I didn't care at that point all that mattered is that I had her in that moment.

Well, to sum it all up, she ended up leaving me. I don't really like to recall on it too much, it's like she played me so easily and for too long. I thought she'd be the woman I married, the one id have many children with, and would grow old with and fight over small things such as why did I leave the milk out so long, or who's day it is to go walk the dog. I thought she was the one, no doubt about it. But, she wasn't, and I know I shouldn't hold grudges, but this one I can't help. She claims her father had found out and was going to send his men after me, but she pleaded for him to just let her let me down easily. So after that I was on my own, it's a good thing Malon and her father took me in or else I'd probably be dead right now. Heh... life's funny like that I suppose.

"Link…"

At the sound of her soft murmur I snapped out of horrible daydream and reached my hand out to stroke her cheek. At least I know this one will never break my heart.

"Link…" She giggled and pushed my hand away. "Stop trying to put "moves" on me. You know you can't have me yet silly!" She said teasingly. She was too cute. Of course she wasn't near as beautiful as Zelda, but looks aren't everything, in fact looks are what can kill you. Malon was beautiful on the inside, and that's what matters to me most.

"So what are your plans for today?"

"Eh well I guess I should head down to Hyrule lake and catch us some fish for the next few days, what you think?"

She closed the last horse stable and sighed. Such a hard worker as well…

"Yeah that sounds good. Might want to catch extra because I think bad weather is headed our way really soon."

"Oh really, what makes you say that?"

"Well…"She paused while she combed her long, slender fingers through her Epona's white long mane, "The animals have been acting really strange lately.. It's only been like this once before." She paused again as she stepped down from the stool and her voice started to fill with worry when she started back up again.

"The last time the animals were like this, shaky, whinny, and wouldn't budge out of their stables easily is when a huge flood came through here and tore this farm apart. I was just a child then but I remember everything so clearly… I'm just scared it'll happen again..

"Oh Malon…" I made my way over to her and wrapped my arms around her tiny waist.

"Don't worry about it, I think your just over analyzing things.."

"Link.." She said worryingly..

"But!" I placed my finger over her mouth to interrupt." Don't worry I promise to catch as many fish in the lake as I can!" She pressed her lips together firmly, trying to hide a little smile. She then put her hands around my neck, adoring me. "Just for you my love…" I knew this always got her because every time I said it she would blush madly and place her head on my chest.

"Can I have a good luck kiss?..."

Giggling softly she hesitated for a moment, as if someone was going to bust in and protest. She unconsciously pulled me closer and closed her eyes as she lightly brushed her lips against mine. My lips grazed against hers, kissing her slowly, yet repeatedly softly, passionately, she parted her lips gently to try to deepen the kiss...

WHAM!

The door suddenly flew open and Malon pushed me back with all her force and put her head down blushing madly as if she had committed a crime or something. It was Talon, of course, the owner of the ranch who had such WONDERFUL TIMING. He took a quick look at us and he started blushing as well. I'm never embarrassed at things like this because it was natural, just showing affection to my loved one..

"Ahem...sorry to uhhh interrupt.." Talon said shyly. "But this is an emergency letter that just came in for link.."

Huh...what could be so important at 8:00 at night? I rushed over to Talon and took the letter to read the envelope. It wasn't your average look letter. This envelope's words were written in golden ink that had laces and all kinds of dilly dally that could only have meant royalty sent these out... The castle...

"Well...link who's it from?"

I ignored Malon for the moment; I couldn't concentrate on anything but the letter. My heart was pounding faster and faster with each second. I couldn't get this stupid letter open fast enough! Finally after I ripped the envelope to shreds, Sure enough what came out was a letter from The Hyrule castle…

"Link!" She yelled as she rushed over to my shoulder to try to read.

Dear young adults…

We are gathering young men all around Hyrule to help prepare for a very special occasion. The Marriage of Princess Zelda. The king is requiring all men who receive these letters to come to Hyrule castle tomorrow morning by 7:00 a.m. to help set up for the Royal event.

You will be out for only 1-2 weeks depending on your importance to the role of fixing up the wedding. You will be paid 25 rupees a day. So don't worry you are not only helping out your Land's most important family, but also gaining a little bit of pay!

See you there.

-The royal messenger.

I couldn't believe what I was reading; I thought I was done with this, done with her. But now I have to help her prepare for her wedding, and since when was she engaged, and to who?

Alright link quit… it's over, besides I'm sure there will be tons of young Hylian men there, I probably won't even catch a glimpse of her..

"Link! Tell me what it says! Please…." Malon pleaded.

"Oh.. I'm sorry, it's just uh, telling me I have to go to Hyrule castle for about 2 weeks to help out with the princess's wedding.." Malon stood there pale and silent for a minute. She knew about me and Zelda's forbidden love, she was the one who helped get me through it and offered to let me stay here.

"What! Why that wretched whore!"

"MALON!" Talon yelled back. Malon usually never said crucial things like that and Talon never usually got mad at her. "That is our princess and you will respect her as such! Do you want to be thrown in prison?"

She peered down at the wooden floors, embarrassed of her outburst. I know she only hated Zelda because of me. She was hurting because I was, and I know she's probably a little worried inside.

"No father…I'm sorry.." I felt bad because I feel that I have brought Malon all this pain when she was so fragile, her heart wasn't able to handle both of our troubles.

"It'll be okay Malon..I'll be back in just two weeks.." I embraced her, holding her ever so tight, to let her know that I love her and reassure her everything will be okay. Sure I'm nervous as hell on the inside, but I'm not going to scare her.

She held me as tight as she could, not willing to let go. "But will you be okay Link?"

"Haha! Of course he will! Link's a fine strong young man! It's no surprise the royal family requested him as a helper! He's a great worker!" He slapped me on the back. He always praised me..but he didn't know what I was into this time, he doesn't know of the secrets me, Malon, And Zelda have.

She just peered up at me. "What about the storm?..."

"Malon…I'll be fine.." She was starting to cry.

"Don't cry..Look, how about this." I took my hand to lift her gaze into my eyes. "I'll work extra hard to try and finish before the storm comes, alright?" She gave me a precious weak smile and nodded. I kissed her on the forehead and continued to hold her there. Even if there was a chance to be with princess Zelda again, I'd never betray her, not like Zelda did me…

…Yeah, I…wouldn't?

"Alright you two love birds! Bid your goodbyes tonight, and tomorrow Link has a new adventure, bright and early!"

Yeah tomorrow I'm off to face my doom… Zelda.
