Princess of Termina (Link x Princess-reader)

|| Chapter 22 || Kingdom Of Rena

(Link's P.O.V)

Everyone stared at the last written page of the diary, not knowing what to say about it at all. Even Prince Cody was shocked. 

"Why didn't you tell me, Anti?" He cried, being the first to speak as he looked up from the diary and at the sorceress who watched us, her eyes dull.

"It was never your concern. Your sister allowed me to keep my past a secret so I could start over better," she explained, meeting his eyes.

"You had such a horrible life...I'm so sorry," (Y/n) spoke next as Anti shook her head.

"Everyone must live through hard times or else we shall never learn anything about life," was what she told the her.

I was the only one who didn't speak as I only stared at the page, reading the lines over and over again in my head. Finally, I closed the dairy and held it out to Anti, waiting until she took it to speak," so you use to live with not only Ganondorf but Aryan and Alex as well. That's why Aryan looked angry when you spoke to him."

"Yes. I bet since I failed to bring the Princess back to Ganondorf, they both were angry. Ganondorf must have came up with the plan to have Aryan try and marry her so he could bring her back. When Aryan came to the castle, I warned the Princess and stayed out of sight. I was just fitting in at the time and the last thing I needed was for everyone to know I worked for an evil Lord," she explained, looking at the diary before putting it back in her bag with a sigh.

"This explains a lot...I'm happy you at least told me now," Cody smiled as Anti looked to him, dipping her head.

"It was time for you to know the truth," she looked to the dark sky before stand," its getting late. We should all try and get sleep as we must travel to Rena in the morning."

"Sounds good," Cody stood, yawning," I haven't sleep forever~"

The fire was put out as everyone got ready for sleep. Anti decided to keep watch for the night, claiming she could do it on her own when anyone else offered to help. I sat next one of the trees of the forest, looking to the star filled sky with tired eyes. I've had far too much excitement for one day... 

"Link..." I looked away from the sky to see (Y/n) standing in front of me, her hands cupped in front of her as she looked away from me, embarrassed," may I sleep next to you tonight?...I don't want to be alone..."

"Of course," I blushed a bit but smiled none the less. 

She sat next to me awkwardly, keeping her hands on her lap. We were both silent as there wasn't much to say. Everything was just so crazy at the moment, what should I say to her? 

I looked over at her, blushing when I did. She was amazing with her hair done up nicely and her beautiful white wedding dress she still wore. I bet she could run through a wind storm and still look perfect in every way.

"Link..." I blinked, snapping out of it at the sound of my name.

"Yes, (Y/n)?" She was quiet for a moment as she hugged her knees to her chest, looking to the sky.

"Do you think the Princess of Rena will know a way for us to defeat Ganondorf?" she asked as I hesitated to answer. To tell the truth, I didn't want (Y/n) going back to the castle with Ganondorf there. What if she got hurt or worst? I can't lose her...

"I-I'm sure she will. From what we both have heard about her, she sounds like she knows a lot. I bet she can help us," I assured her as she nodded, turning her eyes to the ground.

"And Link..."

"Yeah?"

"Do you...love me?" I blushed as she looked up, meeting my eyes with her (e/c). 

"L-Love you?"

"Yes. Do you love me in anyway? Like...more than a friend..." she whispered, leaning close to me as I leaned away, my cheeks a bright red color.

"...I-I do..." I closed my eyes, nodding slightly. I was scared to hear what she could say. To my surprise, she laughed as I opened my eyes, frowning," w-what's so funny?"

"You. Your so funny," she laughed, moving a hand to her lips as she tried to hold back her laughter.

"I-It's true though...I-I do love you!" I pouted as she only laughed more.

"That's good."

"W-Why?"

She smiled, leaning forward the rest of the way and pressing a kiss to my cheek as I felt frozen," because I also love you."

I didn't say anything as she yawned, resting her head on my shoulder as she cuddled close to my chest," goodnight Link..."

"G-Good night, Princess," I smiled, leaning back against the tree while pulling her close to me and falling asleep my self. Goodnight...

The next morning we were off to Rena Kingdom which was a long walk. We left early in the morning as Anti said it would take less time that way. I carried (Y/n), careful not to wake her as I wanted her to sleep after the long day she had yesterday. A little while after sunrise she woke up and walked on her own at my side.

We made it to Rena Kingdom around noon and the second we saw it, (Y/n) and I were amazed. We stopped at the mountain side and got to over look the whole place from there. There were green forest and glittering lakes...In the distance we could even see a castle and town in front of it. That's were we were heading Anti told us.

We took a small break at the mountain side before containing down to the town. An hour after noon we made it to the busy town in front of the castle.

The second we walked through the main entrance people bowed their heads to Anti and Cody, telling them how happy they were to see they have returned. Some people asked who (Y/n) and I were and when they were told, they would welcome us us kindly. 

The thing I liked most about Rena was the castle as it stood tall over the town. Cody led us to the front gates of the castle, the guards quickly bowing to him and let us all pass.

"Welcome to our home, the Castle of Rena~ Isn't it amazing~?" Cody asked, running into the castle throne room as (Y/n) and I followed, looking around with amazement.

"Its beautiful Cody. Truly beautiful," (Y/n) smiled, neither of us seeing anything like the place.

The first room was the throne room which was huge; bigger than Termina's. The place looked to be made of gold as the light shining through the windows added the perfect touch to the place. In the every front of the room were two thrones, both made of purple velvet with gold surrounding them.

As we got a good look of the place, a maid rushed to Cody and Anti's sides, bowing her head with a bright smile," Prince Cody, Lady Anti, how wonderful for you to have come back. You have even brought guest, how lovely~"

"Yes. These are our friends, the hero Link and the Princess of Termina (Y/n). They need my sisters help. Do you know where she is?" Cody kindly asked the maid who nodded happily.

"You sister is in the garden. She has been awaiting your return, my Prince," the maid informed him as he thanked her, turning to us as she left the room.

"Come on, I can't wait for you both to meet my sister, oh, you will love her~" he ran off once more as we both laughed and Anti rolled her eyes.

We followed the Prince through the amazing castle, soon going outside and into a garden that was also much bigger than Termina's just like the throne room. There were flowers of all types and colors, more than I could count.

We only walked a little farther before Prince Cody soon stopped and stood between two bushes, staring into the clearing in front of him with a small smile," sister..."
