The death of a man he never met has Dominic Antrucha assuming a title and position he never even knew existed. Dozens of "fine", young ladies flaunt themselves at him in hopes of sharing the wealth and status he now possesses, but Dominic has sworn off love since his heart was broken. Now, with all his dreams and plans shattered, he must come to terms with this new life. There's a catch, though. Not only did this change demolish his simple plans for his future, it threw him into a mess of intrigue and danger that involves far too many of his close friends and newly acquainted relatives. And at the heart of it is the woman who broke his heart and betrayed him-the only person he's ever come to hate. Will he actually be able to survive this mess long enough to pull himself back together and rise above the deceit of the society he's entered? Can he unlock the secrets that broke his heart? Most important of all, will he choose to trust the ones who have betrayed him before it's too late?

(Cover by @Zelinkie) - (Art by finnichang on tumblr) {-------------------} Zelda's eyes were glued to the page of the old, tattered book, her eyebrows burrowing deeper into her brow. "Blessed by the Goddesses, Zelda and her companion Link the Hylian champion, had once again defeated the great evil and saved this land. Thus, this ends the journey with the Princess and the Hylian champion once more, another adventure to be expected once again in a new generation." --- If you see someone being turned down in the middle of the park, would you go and comfort the person that got turned down? Not really, right? Well, what Zelda had done was comfort the poor boy, known as Link, from a heartbreak she never experienced. But that's all she had done, she didn't expect that their relationship from strangers would turn out to be bigger than that; she never expected that the person she had met will be the start of something new emotionally and mentally. As well as put the fate of their own land into their own hands. {-------------------} This is my first Zelda fanfic plz no flame, but I will take criticism. Comments and/or votes alone really keep me going, so if you enjoyed the chapter please let me know with one of those.
