Everyone in the castle knew about the runaway knight.

It was one of the biggest cases the castle had ever faced; and one that still remained unsolved. In fact, the finest of the castle's detectives had spent twenty-five years itching for any scrap of information that may locate him, but to no avail. Because many years ago, when the air was thick with morbid fog, something dreadful happened on the castle grounds. A murder.

Well, less of a murder, more manslaughter; two knights got in a fight that lasted in half an hour of ruthless swings and bloodied skin, and through the chilled winds and scattered moonlight, stomach-churning silence settled over the castle.

Rumour has it that one of the knights, twenty-three years old, had resulted to the use of a knife against his opponent. The uproar of the community confirmed for the knight that a punishment no less than a lifetime imprisonment would be cast upon him; unless he ran away. 

Which is exactly what he did.

Though this tale may be many years old, and may have played out long before my birth, it's significance is still prominent.

For this is the tale of the runaway knight; and how I, the princess of hyrule, got entangled amidst his bloodline when I foolishly fell for his son.
