When Opposites Collide ~ A BOTW Mivali Fanfiction

"A suitor fit for a princess"

When I had just got to my bed, well of course I was called out again! I was beginning to despise this! 

Muzu came into my room and simply said "The king is waiting for you in the grand hall." then zipped off.

I sighed. I pulled out another blue cloth (that is the item of clothing we Zoras wear, keep up.) and walked calmly into the hall, to find my father deep in conversation with some young man I had never met. He had the look of royalty, but this mischievous shine in his eyes that made me dislike him. He turned to face me as I entered.

Father spoke to me, grinning. "Mipha, meet Prince Koyin, I have spoken to him and I believe he is a good suitor for you. He will rule Zora's Domain beside you with success."

"Father, I can rule Zora's Domain on my own! Either that or I'll rule with Sidon..."

"You cannot marry your own brother. I don't like this attitude, young lady. Now, I will give you the day off today to get to know each other." Father look me right in the eye. "Play nice, Mipha. Stop it with the childish attitude."

Father busied himself with some shipping nonsense and I looked at Koyin. "Let's go somewhere nice, shall we?" As he spoke, his eyes glinted more... almost with evil intent.

We walked down to Luto's Crossing, I didn't bother to make conversation on the way. I had already decided that I disliked Koyin. Attitude or not.

"So, how much money do you have?" After half an hour of attempted conversation, this remark hit me hard. I turned to face Koyin, and let out all of the anger that had been building up inside me since I was woken to heal Sidon.

"YOU JUST WANT ME BECAUSE OF MY KINGDOM! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT ME, JUST MY MONEY! IF I DIED? YOU WOULD SAY 'Oh, no, poor Mipha, now I'll just be able to have her fortune. Drop her in the lake.' HOW COULD I EVER LOVE YOU LIKE THIS? LEAVE NOW, KOYIN! AND NEVER LET ME LAY EYES ON YOU WORTHLESS SCUM EVER AGAIN!"

Koyin gave up without a fight, and left down the path that leads out of Lanayru. I walked back to the domain, feeling a mixture of pride and guilt. By the time I walked into the Great Hall, all I could feel was guilt.

"So, how did it go?" asked Father. I simply grunted in reply.

"You do know I will have to force you into marriage if you don't gain important task or find a suitor." I slumped lower as a means of reply. I felt... useless.

Maybe this is what it feels like to be hated. Not that I would know.

I looked up with sudden determination.

I need a task.
