Chapter 18: Such a great team
Zelda pricked up her ears when she approached Link’s house. She wasn’t really sure where the guffawing came from, but it sounded like…
Yup. It came from Link and Ivee’s backyard.
“Aah! Keep it away from me, it’s gross! Stop it!”
“Gross? You can eat this, you know!”
“Yes, once it’s cleaned up. As long as it’s dripping with blood, you need to get it out of my face!”
Zelda burst out in laughter at what she saw. Link was chasing Ivee with the guts of a bird he was cleaning. She didn’t know what she had to think about them running around the cradle like that. As the weather was so nice, they’d decided to move it outside. But the babies weren’t crying out in alarm, so it should’ve been alright.
They both froze when they noticed her. “Oh, hi Zelda,” Link smiled, getting back to his bird.
Ivee found it strange to greet the princess like this. Of course, she and Link had a history, but as for herself… It still felt a bit inappropriate.
“Good morning,” Zelda laughed, stepping closer. “I went to the lab to see Purah, but Symin said she was here.”
“Yes, she came to check on the babies, and just to have a chat with mum. You know… amongst women,” Ivee said. At the other side of the cradle, Zelda peered inside with a warm face. To Ivee, it still felt a bit weird to have the princess as her friend now.
“Is Rinku not with you?” Link said, wrapping the bird in paper and rinsing his hands in the little pond.
“He’s at the castle, studying. I came here by horse. I noticed you found her back for me.”
“I did, yes.” For her. Obviously. Did not ride her himself at all. Did not use her during their wedding.
“I’ve been so free to tie her up next to Epona.”
“Yeah, of course, no problem.”
With her eyes still on the babies, Zelda cooed when one of them stirred and made a little baby sound. “It was a great party last weak. I’ve really enjoyed myself, and Rinku too.”
“Yeah, Ivee and her family do know how to throw a party,” Link sniggered, joining them over at the cradle.
“I’m sorry you couldn’t enjoy a couple of cocktails after all, Ivee,” Zelda said, looking up now with her stunning green eyes.
Ivee sighed and rolled her eyes. “Yes, it came as quite a shock when Purah told me that I still shouldn’t be drinking too much while I’m breastfeeding.”
“How long before they can take solid food?”
“About six months.”
“Oh, that’s quite long.”
“I know! Goddesses, have mercy!” Ivee slumped against Link, whining against his chest.
“I see you’re wearing the hairpin I gave you.”
“Yes, it makes me feel special while I’m washing baby puke out of my clothes.”
Zelda chuckled. “Well, I’m gonna go look for Purah then. I’ve come to evaluate the Rinku.”
“Oh! And?”
“Except for the talking, everything is perfect. I’ve let him train on the castle grounds. I’m gonna wait a bit to let him face Ganon, because that would be like throwing him for the lions. But from what I’ve seen so far, he fights the same way as the original Link.”
While the princess had started walking, Ivee had walked along with her, gesturing to Link that he should stay with the babies.
“Let me guess: girl talk?” Link called out behind them.
“Right you are!” Ivee called back, and then she turned back to the princess. “You know, I hope that he loves the same way as the original Link too,” she giggled, bumping her shoulder against Zelda’s with her own and winking when Zelda looked at her with a blush.
Zelda smiled back. This girl talk was quite nice. Maybe she should come here a bit more often. “Do you think he might be attracted to me?”
“Are you kidding? You’re gorgeous. How could he not be attracted to you? Has he shown you any signs yet?”
“There has been this kind of… tension, yes.” When they trained together… When their swords clashed and their eyes connected. There was something raw about it. Something sexual. It gave her thrills.
“Word of advice though. If he also thinks the same way as the original Link, then you’re gonna have to make the first move.”
“You think so?”
“I know so. He sees you as a superior and has too much respect to think of you in a sexual way. Link has told me that when we were only just seeing each other.”
Zelda’s eyes widened at this sudden epiphany. That was the reason why he’d been keeping his distance, outside of the training grounds. Not because he didn’t like her. If that was the case, then she wouldn’t wait too long to make that first move. “Right. That’s good to know. I’ll keep it in mind.”
“Trust me, princess, you won’t regret it,” Ivee said with another wink. “I suggest you ask Purah for some of her willysleeves, though, now that you’re here.”
“Willysleeves?”
“It’s one of her and Symin’s latest inventions. It prevents you from getting pregnant right away.”
“That indeed sounds interesting. Oh, and you don’t have to call me princess any more. You may call me Zelda. Since we’re friends now.”
“Okay, cool.”
When they entered the house, Amira veered up from her chair and did one of her clumsy curtsies. “Princess Zelda, if I had known you’d come...” she babbled.
“Mum, would you stop acting so nervous all the time,” Ivee said. “Zelda might be coming over quite a lot. We’re friends now.”
“You’re friends?”
“Yes. In fact, she’s auntie Zelda.”
Purah chortled at the expression of awe on Amira’s face, and poured the princess a cup of water. “I take it you’ve come to talk about your Rinku,” she grinned. “So, how is he? Everything functioning as it should?”
“Yes, no complaints.”
“And how about the...” She gestured with her hands down at her lap. “You know, down there.”
“Oh.” That blush from just a moment ago came back with a vengeance. “Well, I don’t know, we haven’t gone there yet.”
“Why are you waiting so long, anyway?” Ivee wanted to know.
“I want to wait for the right moment,” Zelda explained. “I’m not gonna get to have a second First Time, so I want it to be perfect.”
“Hmm, yes of course,” Ivee smiled, thinking back about her own First Time.
“Yes, lovely,” Purah piped in again. “Well, do keep me posted. Because, you know, with our latest invention, you don’t have to worry about getting pregnant any longer.”
Honestly, that woman should have a market stall. “Yes, the willysleeves. Ivee has told me about them. Sounds like a great invention.”
“Yes yes. Here, have some.”
“You just carry them around with you?” Ivee smirked.
“Well, I do have to introduce them to the people. Pruce could sell some in East Wind, gotta give some to him too.”
Suddenly, Link came in, holding Junior out in front of him with both hands.
“What is it?” Ivee said.
“You’re on diaper changing duty today.”
“Then you’re on diaper cleaning duty.”
“Deal.”
“We’re such a great team, aren’t we?”
“The best.”
It was a couple of days later. Zelda was standing at one side of the gateway where the soldiers were flocking into the castle, returning from the training grounds for their evening meal and some well deserved rest. She smiled while they courteously bowed to her, but she was eager to meet with her new appointed knight, who she’d been monitoring and following ever since she’d received him from Purah. When she saw him approaching, she ran towards him and discreetly guided him away from the crowd.
“You’ve trained very well today,” she said. For the first time, she’d let him face Ganon. It had taken him a few attempts to get past the first stage. The second stage hadn’t gone so well yet. That would be for another time. Afterwards, she’d allowed him to recover a bit, sharing his experiences with the other soldiers. He had managed to learn some new words, but most of what he wanted to say still needed to be communicated with hand gestures and grunts. “After dinner, I will have a medicinal bath prepared for you, with water from the hot springs.”
“Yes.”
Zelda laughed softly. ‘Yes’. One of the first words he had learned. “It will do you good.”
Rinku gratefully bowed his head. “Thank you.”
Smiling warmly at him, Zelda allowed him to go inside. Her eyes drifted to two birds in the distance, about to mate, it being spring and all. Look, they didn’t make any fuss about it.
That evening, while she was having dinner by herself, she could barely eat, nervous about what she had planned for later that evening. The thought of going to Rinku’s bedroom tonight made her nipples stand to attention and her heart beat in her throat. Finally, she would know what it felt like to be loved by her appointed knight. A man she’d been attracted to the moment she saw him, back in the days. Link was hot, there was no denying that. But at the time, he was too occupied defending her, rather than caring for her in more than a master-servant kind of way. That Rinku was a clone of the original was not important to her. His style of fighting was the same. She trusted that his love making would be the same too.
Zelda was restlessly traipsing in front of the bathroom door, clutching a vial of bath oil to her chest. Saying to her maid that she herself would continue preparing the bath with her personal oil would be a very transparent ruse. Her intentions would be very obvious, and she had to admit that she felt quite nervous about that.
But this was ridiculous. Surely, she didn’t have to answer to her staff. Determinedly stomping her foot, she opened the door to the bathroom, where the maid was folding towels and preparing a cotton robe. The bath tub was already filled with hot, steaming water.
“Thank you, Liselle, I shall take it from here. You may send for Rinku.”
Liselle did a curtsy. “As you wish.” Noticing how the princess was nervously biting her lip and was clutching at the vial of oil like a life line, she couldn’t help but giggle to herself. “Good luck, princess,” she said, and then quickly headed for the door, realising her transgression of speaking to the princess in such a way.
“No, it’s not...” Zelda started, but she heard her inner voice chiding her. Oh shush. That’s exactly what you’re here for.
Before Liselle headed out, she made another quick reverence to the princess. “Forgive me, my princess.” And then she smiled and winked, as if wanting to tell her to have fun.
“Liselle!” Zelda called, and Liselle carefully shuffled back in, worried that she might be reprimanded for speaking out of line.
“Have you… been with a man before?” Liselle was older than her, and from the way she talked about it, Zelda could make out that she had already lost her innocence, and had enjoyed it too.
Peering out the door, Liselle quickly closed it, leaning against it. “Well, if I may be so bold...”
“I’m asking you, so please speak freely.”
“I…” Then her face changed from nervous to blissful. “Yes, I have. You know, Rinku is not the only good looking soldier in the castle.”
Zelda stepped a bit closer. The expression on Liselle’s face made her curious, and even more eager to spend the night with Rinku. “Got any advice?”
“Just… Try to stay calm. Relax. And enjoy.”
“What is it like?”
“Addictive.”
Zelda felt herself gasping, starting to feel quite warm. For some inexplicable reason, she felt her lower parts twitching. “Okay. Thank you. That will be all. Oh, one more thing. Please don’t tell anyone. I know I’m supposed to wait until...”
“You don’t have to answer to me, my princess,” Liselle interrupted her. “In fact, you don’t have to answer to anyone. Being with a man should be something you should be at liberty to enjoy anytime. It’s nature. And nature doesn’t abide by any rules. Nature is based on instinct. But don’t worry, my lips are sealed. I swear it on my lover’s head.” With a smile and another polite nod of her head, Liselle headed out.
Zelda was a bit gob smacked at Liselle’s little speech, not because of her maid’s impudence, but because she realised how true her words were. Just like that, her mind went back to the two birds at the castle courtyard, who also acted upon their instincts. As Liselle was older than her, she was wiser too. Zelda valued Liselle’s opinion, that’s why she knew that she wouldn’t be reprimanded for interrupting her. Maybe she ought to change that law, about not having intercourse before marriage. If Purah could produce her newest invention on a grander scale and sell it to he people, then the risk of there being a baby before marriage would be much smaller anyway.
Shaking her head, she dismissed it for now. Now, she had more pleasant things to do. Feeling her hand tremble a bit, she poured a generous amount of oil in the bathwater. Leaning against the edge of the bath, she dreamily stirred the water with her fingers, spreading the oil and feeling the temperature. She wondered what it would be like. How he would treat her. How he would react when she’d speak out her desires and her feelings for him. Because, it was not that he was stupid. He knew what everything meant, he just didn’t know how to speak the words. Yet.
She jumped when there was a knock on the door. “Yes, come in,” she called with a rather unsteady voice, and she cleared her throat.
Rinku came in, and she welcomed him with a smile that was maybe just a bit too obvious. He was wearing his Champion tunic, but without the protective sleeves and gauntlets. Just the tunic. He was also on bare feet. It made him look less like a warrior, and more like a boy. It looked very charming to Zelda, very homely, like a boyfriend who would wind down at the end of the day. She felt like it took away the barrier between them. For a split second, the image of her and Rinku together in the bathtub crossed her mind, but she quickly dismissed it. First see how this night would go.
Stepping away from the bath, she gestured with her hands that it was free for him to use, and he moved closer.
“Rinku, I would…” She paused and swallowed. “I would love to come to your room tonight. Would that be okay for you?”
Rinku slowly nodded his head, examining her face to make sure that he read her intentions right. “Hm,” he then nodded more firmly. “Yes!”
Her face brightened. “Good!” Stepping closer, she brushed her fingers against his, feeling the sparks there. “I’m sure you will not let me down.”
When she came back outside and closed the door, she leaned heavily against it. She was sweating and could feel her entire body shaking. Never before had she asked something like that from a man.
“My princess,” Liselle said, who had stood there waiting for her. “Are you alright?”
Heaving a big, shaky sigh, Zelda let her eyes focus on her maid, feeling her face break into an ear to ear smile. “Yes. I’m very much alright.”
To be continued…
