Chapter Three - Something Beneath Twilight
Something terrible was brewing in the past, and Zelda felt unease gripping her once again as tensions within the early Hyrule Kingdom began to rise.
Ganondorf, a male born to the Gerudo tribes, had started an attack on the castle. With the efforts of Rauru, Sonia, and herself, they were able to drive back the dozens of Moldugas that the new leader of the Gerudo had sent their way, before he left without a trace.
Uncertainty gripping the Kingdom, Zelda felt a pang of regret for how much leisure time she'd taken since coming to the past.
No, that wasn't true– Alongside the King and Queen, Zelda had worked hard to find a place here, while searching for the answers she needed. Though those answers hadn't come to her yet, she was certain that her efforts would guide her to a way to help Link in the future. Otherwise, what was the point of being the Sage of Time?
"Your majesty–"
Rauru lifted a hand to silence Zelda, letting out a long-winded sigh as he leaned back in his chair and rubbed at his eyes.
"I will not hear it, Zelda. We have discussed it much. I will do what I must in this time, but any drastic actions could server to help this 'Demon King' you speak of as well," the Zonai man stated.
Zelda looked down at her lap, clutching her hands together tightly as she imagined that terrifying person they'd discovered beneath the depths. There was something… Unsettling about it all, and her feelings of dread only grew as the days passed.
Rauru noticed Zelda's glum expression, and looked across the room to where Queen Sonia was helping a soldier who had received a minor wound during the recent scuffle.
"Apparently, this Ganondorf figure has requested a meeting, to parley, so my wife and I must make preparations and cannot let our guard down," he stated.
"A parley..? He plans on surrendering, so soon?" Zelda was perplexed by this, feeling that it wasn't right.
"It is too good to be true, is it not?" Rauru smirked slightly. "It is what is for the best, however. We will be wary. Your power may be needed of course."
"Of course! I will continue to hone my abilities, and stay focused–"
The King reached across the table and placed his hand on Zelda's arm comfortingly, shaking his head.
"You are already strong, and already willing, I believe it. Please do not wallow in the harrowing events to come. Let us shoulder this responsibility, for now," he told her.
Zelda wanted to retort those words, but she knew it was for naught. After all, the King and Queen had been kind enough to accept her and help her on her way here… Who was she to deny their words that clearly came from a place of kindness and protection?
"I understand…"
Rauru nodded and rose from his chair, his meal on the table only half eaten. He raised his right hand, a light glowing above it, gazing into the golden luster for a few moments before it faded.
"I must be going now. We will speak again soon."
With those words, the King left the room at a brisk pace. Zelda gazed down at her own food, hardly touched, and picked up the plate, taking it to the soldier that Sonia had been working on.
Grateful, the Soldier took the plate and began to scarf it down. Zelda smiled, and then looked to the Queen nearby, who was watching her with a hint of enjoyment.
"You are a fine ruler in your time, I can see it," the Queen said.
"I was thinking the same of you, actually," Zelda said, blushing slightly at the compliment. "My Father was much better than I am."
"There is no use in comparing kindness. Just accept things as they are," Queen Sonia said with a wink, before passing by Zelda. "Try and rest up, for the coming days may prove troublesome, Princess."
Being told by both monarchs to take it easy, Zelda sighed and returned to her room, figuring that they must be correct in this matter. Removing her shoes, the girl fell back onto her bed, gazing up at the ceiling above, surrendering herself to its comforting softness.
A week ago, Zelda had been participating in lewd, taboo acts in the dark. Now, she hadn't had a moment to chat with Mineru at all, and spent most of her nights cumming multiple times in this bed until she could finally sleep. She raised a hand and gazed at it, her nails trimmed on the right hand now to better serve herself, something she hoped wasn't noticeable to the others.
I want to help so badly… But this is not truly my world, she thought. The future was her place, and she needed to help save it. Closing her eyes, she allowed her breathing to steady itself, and fell into a much needed nap.
The Gerudo arrived a few days later, and with it, Zelda witnessed first-hand as Ganondorf, a huge intimidating man, bowed down before King Rauru and offered peace.
Once it had been accepted, the Gerudo male, the first one born in hundreds if not thousands of years, left the castle with his guards in-tow. Zelda expressed her worries once more, but of course the King and Queen already suspected as such.
Still, they could not have quite been prepared for what would happen next.
It was an early morning of lonesomeness for Queen Sonia, dressed in a night gown, standing at the window of the room she shared with her husband, who was nowhere to be found. The King had been spending many tireless nights using his power as the Sage of Light to watch out for surprise attacks, and she never tried to stop him, even if it meant she'd felt more alone than ever these past days.
Sonia gazed up at the moon and stars above that were starting to give way to the morning light, trying to let her head cool off as pangs of need were rising within herself.
It was here under the twilight sky that Sonia made a critical mistake.
A knock sounded, and she turned her head towards the door, a bit uneasy about somebody knocking at such an early hour.
"Who is it?"
"It is Zelda, your majesty," came the familiar voice from the other side.
Sonia smiled a bit. "Come in."
When the door opened, it was Zelda who walked inside, a stoic expression on her face that was a bit peculiar, but the Queen just assumed it was due to her overthinking nature.
"You look worried. Is everything alright?" The Queen met with Zelda at the center of the room, touching her arm reassuringly and staring at her face. "You feel… Cold."
Zelda nodded, looking away from the woman. "I just… Need some comfort is all, in this trying time."
Queen Sonia's ears twitched. She felt that something was amiss, something was odd about this whole situation. However, before she could question anything further, she watched as Zelda took a step back and pulled her dress straps to the side, allowing it to freely fall from her body.
"Zelda…?"
For the first time in what felt like forever, the Queen felt her face grow hotter as she blushed, gazing upon the perfect, pristine body of the pale Princess from the future, her perky, perfect breasts and nipples, her succulent, tight, shaven cunt… It was truly immaculate.
"Please, I am.. Scared," Zelda said, though her voice was devoid of any real emotion.
"You sound like you are in shock.. Please, come here," The Queen said, grabbing her hand and guiding her to sit on the bed with her, trying her best to remain calm despite the clear and obvious thing that Zelda wanted. She placed a hand on the girl's forehead gently, feeling how icy cold it was to the touch. "You are absolutely freezing– Mmf–"
Zelda kissed her without warning, and Sonia felt like she couldn't pull away just from the sheer fact she had done the same to Zelda before. Not only that… It felt great to experience it yet again, and the Queen held Zelda's hips as she pulled her closer.
Something is wrong, do not do this, her instincts screamed at her, This is not right!
…But the King being distracted and today marking the height of her heat, it was almost impossible for even her to resist.
Queen Sonia pushed Zelda back onto the bed, heating up the kiss with passionate thrusts and swirls of her tongue. Her hands greedily moved along Zelda's front, feeling her perfect skin and grasping at her breasts, which, too, felt icy cold.
I will warm her, I will comfort her, this is my responsibility, Sonia thought as she groped and massaged Zelda's breasts, moving her head down to kiss the girl's neck. I must.. I…
Zelda's noises of pleasure were off. The feeling of her body was off. Nothing was right here, and finally the Queen's senses overtook her need for sex as she pulled herself back and held up a hand, the world going gray around her as time began to freeze itself.
"Who are you really?" The woman was panting a bit from the kiss, her other hand searching a nearby dresser without looking and grabbing a dagger from within. "Reveal yourself."
The false Zelda sat up on the bed, a slight smile on her face as she gazed at the Queen.
"I do not know what you mean, your majesty," she said in a soft voice as she rose and slowly, and seductively, walked towards the woman. "Please comfort me. I will let you do anything you desire."
Queen Sonia backed away, gripping the dagger tightly and holding it forward, backing into the dresser behind herself as Zelda came closer and closer, til the blade's point was just barely poking at her exposed chest.
"Stop… I… I will…"
It seemed impossible. After all, she'd used her ability, and this fake was still able to move? That would mean this was the real Zelda, wouldn't it?
No, it cannot be, it is a trick…
But still, Queen Sonia couldn't bring herself to do anything as Zelda casually moved the blade aside with a hand and stepped up close, her chest pressing to the Queen's as she leaned in and whispered right into her ear.
"You can trust me. I am… I am… Your destiny."
At the moment her voice became distorted, the Queen felt something enter her mind, and she let out a scream of agony. She stumbled forward, tripping onto the bed and rolling over, swinging the dagger wildly in the air–
But nobody was there any longer. She was panting and sweating as she looked around the room, no sign of Zelda anywhere.
Peeking at the floor, the dress Zelda had dropped was also gone. Was the Queen truly going mad from exhaustion, or were these strange daydreams brought on by her desires?
There was only one way to find out.
King Rauru was barely awake, having just sat upon his throne when the doors to the dark throne room opened, and he watched as his wife quickly entered.
"Sonia..?"
He elicited a yawn, shaking his head to try and rouse himself as he realized that it must be something important.
However, to his surprise, when he tired to rise to his feet, the woman placed a hand on his chest to force him back, crawling onto him to straddle his lap, and then she kissed him passionately.
Taken by surprise, the King, as cautious as ever, activated the power of his secret stone– However, there seemed to be nothing amiss here. This was truly his wife, the one he had decided to devote his entire life to protecting.
"Take me," Sonia said softly in their hot kiss, her voice quivering a bit in a way that made the King incredibly worried for her.
His strong hands moved to grasp the woman's ass as he lifted her and brought her to the nearby table, laying her there and beginning to tug at her clothes.
"Ah.. Whatever you wish then, my love~"
Zelda woke early on this morning, gazing out at the twilight sky above, when she heard a commotion coming from the chambers of King Rauru and Queen Sonia.
A bit curious, she had peeked out of her door, watching as the Queen briskly left. Concerned, the Hylian girl followed suit, staying a ways behind just in case anything bad was happening. After all, she could have sworn that the Queen had used her secret stone earlier, but had assumed it was just for a less drastic purpose.
Reaching the throne room, Zelda peered inside the darkness, hearing words being spoken between Rauru and Sonia in hushed tones. She opened her mouth to speak… But quickly closed it, her eyes widening as her eyes adjusted and the small bits of light trickling in from the windows granted her a peak at something… Amazing.
Sonia's breasts bounced from the force of her husband's thrusts, his hands lifting and spreading her legs as his cock plunged into her cunt with reckless abandon, the table beneath her making slight creaks with every movement they made.
"I am… sorry.. For neglecting you," Rauru said in panting breaths.
"Shh, just… focus," Sonia responded in equally gasping breaths, her hands reaching up to cup his cheeks. "Fuck me, my King."
At that, something seemed to spark inside the Zonai man, as he lifted Sonia into the air, his hands reaching upwards to grab Sonia's shoulders, powerfully bringing her down onto his dick over and over with relentless force. The Queen let out yells of delight at this, her arms wrapping around him, nails grazing down his back.
"Yes..! Rauru..~!"
The pair of eyes watching in secret from the doorway were mesmerized by the sight, and found themselves unable to turn away.
Zelda fell to her knees, her breathing getting heavy, as she reached between her legs and began to rub there, almost on instinct. After all, this was the most feral and most personal sex she could ever hope to see in her life, and it was, for lack of a better term, incredibly enlightening to her.
From this angle, she could see the Queen's perfect dark skin glistening with sweat, her perky breasts bouncing wildly, even the wetness of her pussy as it was slammed down over and over onto her husband's cock.
And Rauru… Zelda felt her face flushing brightly when she looked at him, seeing the King in a new light for the first time ever. His tall body was toned and incredibly powerful looking, especially compared to most Zonai she had seen. His cock was immaculate, and looked much bigger than the one that Zelda had enjoyed during the masked ball, amazing her that the Queen could take such a beast within herself.
Zelda bit her lip hard as she lifted her dress a bit, moving her fingers along her underwear that had already grown quite wet. These days, even the slightest provocation was enough to get the Princess horny and bothered, so this was almost too much.
King Rauru pushed his head into the Queen's breasts, taking one of her nipples and sucking and nibbling at it, the woman holding a hand over her mouth to try and contain the moans and squeals she made as she bounced more and more.
"My.. K-King…!"
Her body trembled, and Zelda knew she must be cumming. The King's thrusts were also beginning to slow down, but without losing their raw force.
I..I should… Zelda's mind was a haze as she sat back on the ground, not caring about anything else around her, and plunged her hands into her underwear to begin finger blasting her cunt to the sight. I am too late–
But to her shock, the Queen's eyes moved to the door, and their eyes locked together. She grinned through her pants, clinging tighter to the King as she leaned in close to his ear and whispered something.
This made the King hurry up once more, thrusting into her cunt wildly, his groans growing louder and louder.
Zelda felt like she had to keep up, her fingers gliding in and out of her pussy wildly, her other hand fiddling with her clit as she bit her lip for dear life to contain her moans. If the King came without her, she would feel so left out–!
"Sonia.. Sonia!"
At Rauru's howl, he slammed inside a few more times before he visibly quivered, and the Queen threw her head back with a scream of ecstasy as she must have been getting filled to the brim with his seed.
Zelda's pussy practically exploded as she arched her back and lifted her crotch into the air, her face red as she could hardly breathe from how hard she came, her pussy squirting and drenching her hand and the floor in her juices, all the while Sonia lifted her head to watch the girl cum, which only made Zelda feel even better… Until embarrassment took over.
Luckily for her, the King pulled Sonia into a deep kiss, and the two embraced each other as they began to express their love and affection for one another. This gave Zelda ample time to crawl away and quickly make her way back to her room before anybody saw.
Once inside, she locked her door, and tossed her dress away. She wouldn't be needing it for a while.
Zelda fucked herself for hours that day, trying all different kinds of positions, fingering herself and playing with her clit til her legs felt numb, and any further touching only resulted in a shock through her body.
Laying back on her bed, which was in massive disarray now and covered in her cum, Zelda let out a laugh through her panting breaths.
I am such a mess… What has become of me?
She couldn't get the sight and the sound out of her mind of the King and Queen's sex. Every time she even tried to think about it, she found herself rubbing another one out, losing track of how many times she came before the morning was through.
Eventually, around noon, the Princess managed to rouse herself at last, the smell of food through the corridors helping to nullify her immense horniness.
Getting dressed and discarding her bedding in an inconspicuous hamper down the hall, she went in search of the food, and stopped dead in her tracks when the Queen was there as well.
Queen Sonia smiled at Zelda, her eyes knowing of what she had done.
"I see you slept in today, Princess. I hope you are feeling well," the Queen coo'd.
Zelda gulped and bowed respectfully. "Y-yes, more sleep has helped me… A lot."
"Oh I believe it." The Queen patted a seat beside her at the long dining table, and Zelda blushed deeply, taking the offered seat, wondering just what she could say about the earlier events. "There is no need to be so tense, you should eat to keep up your strength."
Zelda nodded and helped herself to the assortment of fruits, poultry, and other freshly cooked foods, admiring how good the Castle's constructs were at preparing such things.
As she ate, thankful for the excuse to be quiet, she noticed that the Queen was quite deep in her own thoughts, which was off-putting a bit.
Eventually, the Princess gathered her courage.
"Y-Your Majesty, I—"
"I believe we have a pressing issue," she interrupted in a serious tone. Zelda was taken aback, wondering how she should explain herself, but the woman continued quickly, "Something is amiss in the castle. I believe a dark force is going to try something very soon."
Zelda blinked at her for a moment. "Dark forces..?"
The Queen nodded. "Today, something odd happened. There was.. another you. I was fooled, but everything seems to be in order."
A shiver crawled up Zelda's spine, and she felt like she was being watched, looking over her shoulder to see just a powered-down construct nearby.
"Some sort of magic? But.. from who," Zelda asked.
"I have my suspicions. But we will need to be ready," the Queen said, hesitantly moving her hand on top of Zelda's, feeling her warmth and letting out a sigh of relief. "Though I fear for my sanity until we get to the bottom of it."
Zelda turned her hand over and grasped the Queen's, bowing her head respectfully to her.
"We will figure this out, and until we do, please allow me to be by your side," Zelda proclaimed. "I.. I want to protect you."
Sonia's eyes widened, a bit surprised by this turn of events. For Zelda… It was something that she felt inspired to do, as she felt herself to be in a similar position to Link, needing a purpose.
"You wish to be.. my knight?" The Queen smiled brightly. "That wouldn't be necessary, but.. I do admit it would make me feel much safer."
Zelda nodded, looking confident. "Here in the past, I can hardly be a Princess, so I believe this is my best role I can manage!"
"As long as you do not spy on me at all times."
Zelda gasped softly and froze up, much to the Queen's amusement, as she lifted Zelda's hand and gently kissed it.
"Oh my noble knight, your recent awakening has led to many great things, do not worry too much about it," she commented. "As for this matter of dark magic.. Let us keep it to ourselves, until it is settled."
"But.. The King should know to be careful," Zelda insisted, shaking away her flustered feelings of the happenings earlier that day.
Queen Sonia shook her head. "He is the most powerful in all the land, he is always careful. Together we will figure out what sinister deeds are being carried out, and allow him to do what he must."
Zelda looked worried, but she reluctantly nodded, clenching her Queen's hand and smiling.
"Then we shall do it!"
