The letter

Link sat on the seats and watched me as I worked on lesson plans "you don't have to do this right now you know," he says "we can go home, back to bed"

"I have lessons tomorrow that I need to plan for" I say "I'm just gonna go check on my father you stay here" I tell Link before getting up

I walk over to my fathers office, Ms Ashai wasn't there which is understandable since it's a Sunday morning

"Father?" I ask knocking on his door "are you there? May I come in?" I ask and I here shuffling

"Yes" he mumbled and I open the door. It looked like the room had been tipped upside down

"Father--"

"Wait," he says "Zelda, I apologise for my behaviour, I was simply upset. I hadn't seen that dress in so long and it brought back many memories that I'd wish to forget" he says, I do understand, I still remember the time when Urbosa had told me that my mother had departed

She was in a&e after a hit and run incident, Father had ran off to Italy for a 'business thing' but that lasted for a whole year, Urbosa had to be my guardian for that year, it's amazing she didn't crack under all the pressure

"I understand father" I say offering him a small smile "but we cant live in the past" I say "go home, get some sleep I'll stay here and clean up your office" I offer and he nods

"Thank you Zelda, you truly are the best daughter" he says giving me a hug before walking out

I start on the floor picking up the pieces of paper but then I see my name on sheet of paper hidden under packets of cigarettes, how many cigarettes did he even have?

I brush the packets off of the paper and pick it up, it read:

'Dear Mr Hyrule,

I hope you are doing well, I am writing to you concerning your previous letter. We would love to meet up with you and Zelda, the daughter you speak so highly of'

What on earth does that mean? Meet up for what reason?

'My son is looking forward to meeting, please forgive me for jumping ahead, his possible future wife

Kind regards,

E. Bado'

WHAT ON HYLIA! future wife! What has father been doing behind my back? Is this why he was so against me marrying Link because he was going to send me off to get married to someone of high status! Is this why he didn't give us his blessing?

I search the letter for any sort of date and eventually I find one, it was written in December 2027. That was 3 months ago, only Hylia knows how many more letters have been sent

Plus Link had already proposed to me at that point but Father was still trying to save his reputation. It's not like me and Link being together damages or hurts anything, I mean sure it might upset people but it doesn't do any harm

I stuff the letter in my pocket before walking out of my father's office. I walk back into my hall and put the letter on top of some tests

"How was your father?" Link asks looking up from his phone

"Good" I say nodding before sitting back down and opening my laptop, I need to find out who E Bado is

"What are you doing now?" He asks getting up from his seat and I breathe out

"Link, if your mother tried to set you up with some one behind your back even though she knew that you were happy with the person your with, how would you feel?" I ask and he walks over
