Princess of Termina (Link x Princess-reader)

|| Chapter 17 || Getting Ready For The Wedding

Today was the day where everyone was busy with something. Today the beautiful Princess of Termina would finally be married. Everyone rushed about to get their jobs done, even the King and Queen were busy making sure everything was prefect for the upcoming wedding.

As for Zelda and Misty, they stayed away from most as they were to angry to really face anyone. In their eyes, everything had taken a turn for the worst. Link was dead...(Y/n) was acting strange...everything was going off the rails!

"Maybe the wedding is to stressful for her so she's acting up," Misty suggested, sitting on Zelda's bed with crossed legs a Zelda lied on her stomach with her face hidden in the covers.

"No...I don't think that's it," she shook her head, her voice muffled from the covers as Misty sighed.

"If only we could know what's wrong..." Misty then frowned, looking at the bed covers sadly," I always dreamed (Y/n) would have a great, happy, wedding with the one she truly loved...not this."

"Maybe...Maybe everything will turn out okay-" Zelda rolled on her side, staring in front of her.

"You keep saying that but its not working! Look around Zelda! (Y/n)'s going crazy, Link's dead! I'm sorry but saying things will be okay is just not doing anything!" Misty cried, tears forming in her eyes as Zelda looked to her, frowning as she felt tears form in her own eyes.

"I-I just want to believe it will..." both girls sat there crying, realizing how bad everything had really gotten. They wanted everything to be okay, they wanted (Y/n) to marry someone she was happy with and they wanted Link to be alive...but none of that was reality.

They cried there until a knock interrupted them, causing them to freeze for a moment before someone knocked on the door once more. Zelda sniffed, clearing the tears from her face before rushing to the door," y-yes."

She opened the door, surprised to see Prince Alex standing there, his head lowed as he messed with his dark red colored tie. He was all dressed up in a nice black suit, his tie tighten nicely around his neck and a rose clipped to his breast pocket. He looked like any other royal groom.

"A-Alex, what brings you here?" Zelda tried to smile the best she could, happy that Alex stared at the ground and didn't look up to see her tears stained face.

"I wanted to see if I looked alright for the wedding," he muttered, still not looking up as Misty hurried to Zelda's side, looking at the Prince.

"You look fine but you'd look better if you actually looked up at the wedding," she pointed out as Alex flinched when she said 'look up'. Sighing, he looked up and faced the girls who gasped.

Alex looked like any other royal groom despite the bruise on his right cheek! He looked like he was hit fairly hard for whatever reason.

"Alex, what happened to you!?" Zelda asked, reaching to touch his cheek as he pulled away, shaking his head as he faced the ground again.

"N-Nothing! I mean...nothing..." he whispered as they both frowned.

"Did someone hit you?" they asked as he shook his head, laughing as if it was a stupid question.

"No, I-I...um...got hit in the face by a book I was trying to reach in the library is all," he explained as they both looked to him, not believing him.

"Really? Alright then," Zelda shook her head, not wanting to question him any longer as he cleared his throat, smiling the best he could.

"W-Why aren't you to ready for the wedding? It is to be soon, right?" He asked nervously as they both nodded, their faces serious.

"We were going to get ready now, so if you'll excuse us-" Misty turned as Zelda nodded, going to close the door before Alex stopped them, causing them both to look at him," what is it?"

"Y-You know, you could always...sit out of the wedding," he suggested as they glared at him.

"Its our best friend and cousins wedding, why in the world would we sit out of it?" Zelda snapped while pointing a finger at Alex who stepped back, frowning.

"I-It was only a suggestion-"

"Well we're going to the wedding no matter what. Sorry, but we must get ready now," Zelda slammed the door in his face before he could say another thing.

"Why would he want us to sit out of the wedding? Is he that stupid?" Misty huffed as Zelda shook her head with her arms crossed.

"I don't know but we're going to the wedding. We can't leave (Y/n) in her time of need even if she is acting strange. Come on, lets get ready...maybe it will take our minds off of things," she shrugged as Misty nodded, heading to her to the walk in closest to get their bridesmaid dresses out and ready.

As for Alex, he stood outside the door for a moment, going to knock again before frowning with a sigh. He turned, walking off as he put a hand his still shore cheek,' Zelda, Misty, I beg of you to not come to the wedding...Link's already gone and I'd hate to see anyone else hurt because of all this...save yourselves while you still can...'
