My little Princess

Libary

I walked down the long hallway
with Zelda. I was always behind her.
''Your majesty..may I ask where were going?''
I asked nervosly. ''The king said-''
''You are refreing to my father?''
Zelda asked questionly.

''err-maybe..?''
Zelda turn's around at the
end of the hallway.
''If you must follow me around
the castle please do not ask questions.
I don't want to have to yell at you like yesterday
at the shrine.''

I nod and look at the ground, I feel
her face softening.
''You can still talk me to me.
I never forbid you from talking to me.''
I look up at her again. ''True.''

We begin walking again, and she starts
asking me questions.
''So why don't you talk? I know you can,
you just don't do it often.''
I stop for a second thinking about my answer.
She stops and turn's around to look at me.

''I-I feel with so many eyes upon me, I must
remain strong. I cannot exspress myself for
If I do, I make myself look weak if I am emotional.''
Zelda looks at me for a second, her face soft.
She turns around a coutiues to walk.
She doesn't reply, I don't think she knows what to say.

'' Well.. Where did you grow up?''
''In hateno. I don't remember my family.
I think my father died when I was 12.
I knew my father was a knight.
My mother.. she died when I was little.
My father told the castle to take me in.
I learned to be a knight after that.''

There was a deep silence after that.
''Ah. Here we are. The Libary!''
Zelda smiled. ''My place to hide from father.''
''You come here alot?'' Link said, smiling.
''Every once and a while.''

Soon Zelda climbed up on to a ladder and started
browsing through the books on a shelf.
''Hm..Ah! Yes! Hold this for me Link.''
She put a book in my hand and smiled.
''Thanks.. Oh and this one too!''
Her smile was so sweet.
My stomach jumped but I ignored it.

''Whats this? 'History of the past' What-''
''Im looking for history on the new guradians!''
Zelda says smiling again.
''They are quite amazing things, Like the divine beasts!
Here, I'll show you them!''
She gets down the ladder, Im still holding her books.
''come on! I can show you a good view from
outside my study!''

She takes my hand and drags me out of the Libary.
My stomach jumps again. But I let her drag me away.
