Timeless Wonders
Chapter 2
Richard Doone, a devoted bodyguard to the Brodex family, had spent his many years of ensuring safety to the family. He was lucky enough to be assigned to King Brodex himself as a personal bodyguard along with 7 others. It was position he was proud to hold at only 25 while earning respect from those twice his age. So the team assigned to accompany Princess Alicia that evening to St. Views Hospital would never include him unless the King had gone along with her.
It wasn’t until hours after the team had left, Richard tried to contact one of bodyguards for confirmation on a meeting they later needed to have that day. When they couldn’t be reached…when none of them could be reached, Richard traveled alone to the hospital. While there could have been a number of reasons why he couldn’t get in touch with anyone, something simply just didn’t sit well with him. He had checked with the Children’s Cancer wade only to find out that the Princess and her team had left 5 minutes before he had arrived. Yet, there was nothing that could have prepared him for what he saw the moment he stepped out of the elevator and into the parking garage.
The smell of gun powder hit his nose before he even saw the bodies on the ground and the moment he had, he froze. While years of training was supposed to prepare him for events like this, nothing could wipe away the look of horror that crossed his face as he looked down at 8 bleeding, yet very dead bodies. All men and women he had worked with and most, he had trained them himself.
“No! I am not going anywhere with you! Let me go!”
Snapping out of his daze, Richard glared towards the scream and rage filled him to see Alicia being tightly held by a large, grinning man. With copper skin, dark red hair and a small, yet noticeable bit of hair on his chin, the man clearly couldn’t have been older than 30. But when he saw the man now suddenly kissing her, Richard lost all control of his anger and saw nothing but red. Sprinting over to them, he roughly shoved the man away with all his strength while shielding the Princess with his body. Justice needed to be served and this man needed to answer for his crimes. However, in that moment, Richard finger shook on the trigger of his own gun as he aim right at the man and he struggled not to kill him right then and there. He walked backwards, pushing Alicia to move as well in order to put some distance between them.
How dare he touch her! How dare he put his hands on HER! Richard screamed in his own mind while trying to stay focus on keeping the Princess safe.
But his attention was quickly shifted when Alicia had grabbed his arm and warned him of what the man was going to do. Only a second had past between seeing the gun and then, the sudden loud pop that filled the air.
White hot pain exploded in Richards’s entire right arm, causing him to drop his own weapon and fall to his knees while holding his bleeding shoulder that had been shot.
“Richard! No – no!” Alicia cried next to him as he felt her drop to her knees too. He barely felt her tiny hands on his back as he moaned in pain.
Regardless of being shot, Richard still knew what he needed to do. His life simply didn’t matter when it came to his job. He quickly located his dropped gun right in front of him still and reached for it. A smaller, more delicate hand however snatched the gun out of his reach and he watched as Alicia stood; now holding the gun. She pointed it at the man while her entire body trembled making the gun wobble in her grip.
“Please, I am begging you – Ganondorf - or whatever your name may be – please do not kill him or anyone else! I am not worth all of this death!” she cried, her voice filled with raw emotion.
Richard watched as the heartless man laughed while still pointing the gun at him.
“Ooo? Then you know what you must do. Come with me and I swear that Link will live. With you, he will be nothing to me anyways. I came here to take you, not to kill him, no matter how much pleasure that would give me.”
When Ganondorf looked down at him, Richard sneered in return.
“Shame really…” he replied with a sigh. “Killing you all those years ago would have truly changed the tides in my favor. But alas, if I kill you now Link, nothing will be in order and I may lose this time for good. So today, consider yourself lucky, that is, for now.”
Richard’s frown deepened as he listened to Ganon ramble on about nothing that made any sense to him. However, attention had been turned back to the Princess as the man was back to grinning and now holding a hand out towards her while still holding his own weapon, never moving his aim away from Richard.
“But I could always change my mind Princess if you do not get over here with that gun now!”
“Then kill me and let her go!” Richard grunted out painfully as he squeezed his bleeding shoulder.
“Pitiful! What kind of a man are you kidnapping women?! King Brodex won’t pay you a damn dime, so stop while you’re already ahead!”
“Shut your mouth Richard!” Alicia snapped, her eyes darting to him for a moment and then back at Ganon.
“My Father would give this man an entire island if he were to let me go free!”
Ganon suddenly roared with laughter as he shook his head in disbelief.
“I already told you what I want from you Princess and there is no changing my mind. I want your sweet body spread underneath me. How willing is the King when it comes to the subject of raping his Daughter – hmm? If I were a betting man, my odd would be really low, so I suggest you get over here now with that gun, or I will drag you over here, which will it be?”
Richard’s eyes widen as he looked from Alicia to Ganon.
“You want to do what to her? What did you say?!” he demanded as anger turned his face red.
But Ganondorf only laughed as he wiggled his finger at Alicia to come.
The pain of being shot should have still hurt since a bullet was lost somewhere in his shoulder. But the idea of this man putting his hands all over the Princess somehow dulled it all away. Richard should have been confused or wondered how the pain was now simply gone for the time being and his mind became clear and focus within seconds. Instead however, he could only think of Alicia and saving her.
…A woman I have loved…since the first day I saw her! I would rather die before I let this man dare touch her again!
With impressive speed, Richard reached down with his left hand to grab the .357 Magnum with only a 2.5 inch barrel that hidden beneath his pants leg. He simply drew the gun and fired without even a moment to aim.
Ganon however managed to see the gun in just enough time to try to doge away only to have the bullet rip off a chuck of his ear.
The garage was now filled with a howl of pain as Alicia dropped to her knees. The gun she had been holding clattered on the ground next to her as her entire body trembled. While Richard had wished there was a way he could have warned her, not even he was sure how he managed enough willpower to overcome the pain that had been in his shoulder moments ago.
The roaring of a loud engine made Richard hopefully glance towards the onramp leading to them. They needed help and now would be perfect timing. But when a black, H3X Hummer came to a screeching halt right next to Ganon, he quickly pushed himself to his feet and hurried to Alicia. No one who worked for the royal family would dare drive such a high profile truck. Grabbing her arm, he roughly jerked the Princess to her feet and without another word; she lifted her dress as they both ran for the elevator. Thankfully, with one push of the button, the doors slide open with a ding and they both rushed in.
Richard desperately pushed a random floor button as he glared out into in the parking lot. He caught a final glimpse of Ganon, who was now rushing towards them just as the doors slid close.
“Oh…my…God!” Alicia whispered in a tiny voice as she dropped to the floor on he hands and knees.
She covered her mouth, muffling a loud gag. As he watched her, Richard found that he honestly couldn’t blame her. He knew she must have witness all of the guards die and she was nearly snatched away. She hd to be in shock by now. Seeing her trembling body huddled down at his feet and the idea of what might have happened to her only made Richard want to wrap him arms around her, pulling her body close to his while swearing to give his life up for hers. He wanted to wipe her face clean of tears as he would hold her until she felt safe again no matter how long it would take. But it never matter how much he wanted to show Alicia love and protection, his feelings were extremely inappropriate and could never be known. She was a Princess and he was nothing but a body guard to the King. She was royalty and in the Brodex family, girls and boys were betrothed and married by 26. To put it simply, his feelings were in vain.
For now, all Richard could do while kneel beside her and rub the small of her back while she emptied her stomach on the floor.

Alicia stared down at her hands or rather, her tiny nails as she sat quietly in one of the many family rooms in her home. She nervously picked at the brown gunk buried under them and truly hoped it was nothing more than dirt and not dried blood. It made her wonder how it might have gotten there and for the life of her, she couldn’t remember whether or not she might have touched one of the dead bodyguards since they had made an attempt to protect her. With a though, her eyes begin to water while she bit her lip and struggled to still clean her own nails.
It had only been one day since the brutal murdering spree and the media was buzzing like hungry bees. All around the world knew by now that the only hire to the Brodex family was nearly kidnapped after her entire team of guards were shot down where they stood. And while Richard Doone was regarded as a hero, an investigation was in high gear. Today however, Alicia knew things were about to become even more intense.
As if on cue, the doors to the study were suddenly flung open as Lana Hanes marched quickly inside. Dressed in a pencil black skirt and a Robert Cavalli blouse, she stopped a few feet in front of Alicia in a demanding pose. The late 30’s woman wore a frown on her face and looked older than her years due to the way she wore overly bleached hair slicked backwards with too much hair spray. The ponytail in the back of her neck was pulled so tight, her eyes always looked as cold as she was.
“Ms. Hanes…” Alicia replied softly while looking away from the woman’s stare.
“Did that Ganondorf man hurt you in any way?” Lana asked tartly.
Lana and the King had been away in Scotland yesterday during the time everything had happened. Alicia and Richard had already made countless statements and were questioned by the police and detectives for the rest of that day. She knew the statements had reached her Father long by now, and yet, the question too her by surprise. She had only stated what Ganon had done to her guards and how he wanted to kidnap her for ransom. What she didn’t tell them was how he wanted to sexually assault her and made it very clear with the way he had looked at her and kissed her. No, these were facts that only Richard knew about and he followed in suit as they both were questioned at the same time. Whether she was ashamed of this fact or was in denial, not even she was sure of which, the most important thing was catching the man as soon as possible.
“No!” Alice answered shocked.
“Then I would advise you to stand up! Your Father is demanding a meeting with the two of us at once! And by God, what are you wearing?!” Lana asked with a wrinkling of her nose.
Standing, Alicia quickly looked down at her clothes and finding nothing wrong with it. The dress was completely black while flowing past her ankles gracefully. The top of the dress covered her entire neck and arms leaving her face and hands exposed. She wore no makeup and wore her golden hair in a bun on the top of her head. The outfit was a far cry from her normal expensive lace and silks, but she was still in shock and really didn’t care.
“Eight of my body guards were slain yesterday. I am honoring their deaths.” she replied proudly with a slight raised chin.
“Well honor them with respect towards the King at the same time. Your attire is degusting. No matter, there is no time to change. Quickly get to his meeting room.”
Lana Hanes was a women that Alicia never cared for even as young as 10 years old. The woman acted as the King’s adviser and she had long suspected her of being involved in assignations at her Father’s command. Prickled and sharped tongued, disrespect seemed to bleed through Lana’s pours toward everyone accept for the King which explained why she continued to work for him.
Nervously twisting her fingers together, Alicia hurried after Lana. By the time she reached the meeting room, she was surprised to see her Father had already arrived and was sitting at the head of the oak table that had room for 12 more people. However, only Lana sat right to him on the left side and Alicia quickly took the seat on the right.
The heavy doors were closed from the outside by servants, leaving the three of them alone in the luxury room. While Alicia often found herself alone with them, it allowed her Father to speak and act however he wanted, which always worried her.
“Welcome home Father.” she replied wispy while looking up at him. “I trust your meeting in Scotland went well? I know traveling from there and here in Maypole must have been a extremely long flight.”
King Maxwell Brodex harrumphed as he placed his heavy hands on the table. “Would have gone far better if I had not been forced to return home so soon.”
The older man may have been 51 years old, however, he barely looked a day over 40. His golden blond hair was chopped low to his head, resembling a drill sergeant more than a King. Even his body matched that profile due to his large muscles and strong legs. A blonde bread that was neatly cut framed his chin and cheeks while finishing his profile with steel blue eyes. Once, Alicia had seen her Father as a handsome man who strong due to the loss of his wife when giving birth to her. Now, she saw him in an entirely different way.
“I suppose events like these are simply unavoidable.” Maxwell remarked with a sigh. “That man, Ganondorf, I read the statement you made yesterday after it all happened. Did he rape you?”
Alicia eyes widened as she stared at her Father.
“No! Gooddness Father – I would have told the hospital if..if…”
“Well good.” he murmured while waving a hand to stop her from talking. “You are betrothed to Ladon Niccolo and I fear I will lose my investment with his family if you had been raped. But then…there are ways of fixing damages to a women’s body.”
“Rumors, Your Highness, is a terrible damage to be fixed.” Lana remarked as if she was talking about light bulbs.
“Indeed. But we are rich and I would find a way to quiche them. However, it is nice to know that this man only desires money. Honestly, do I look as if I am willing to give a cent of my money away to a mad man just like that?”
Unable to figure out what to say, Alicia nodded and looked down at her dirty nails.
It stung to hear her Father speak so carelessly about the subject of rape. But then, she knew he cared more about social standings, power, and money far more than her. Her mind raced back to when Richard had said that the King wouldn’t have paid anything for her return and that kidnapping her was pointless. Sadly, he had been right. She knew that her Father would blow up an entire island long before paying a cent for her return. Her death would void a royal law in her family that stated that a King would be unable to remarry if the Queen died. As long as there was a living hire, the only other marriage that would be arranged was to be that of the hire. But if Alicia died, the King could marry whomever he wanted and could have children until his dying day. Part of her wanted to believe this would never happen. However, deep down, she knew her Father resented her for the death of the Queen during child birth and only recognizes her for polical standings.
As Lana placed files all over the table for the King while pointing things about someone’s background, which was strangely blank, Alicia toned them out as she stared at a photo that had been taken of Ganon when he was walking into the hospital long before the murders. Her mind raced as she struggled to understand why she had the feeling that she knew him – or rather – should have known him. There was something so familiar about him and the name he kept calling her that made her feel sick. He had called her Zelda and Richard had been given the name Link. Then there was something about a…void? And he was trapped? Alicia found herself biting her lip as none of this made any sense. And while she told the story of how he wanted to kidnap her, she could never go into details about what he wanted to do to her. She fought back tears remembering how he had stolen her first kiss and the way he had looked at her. Given a second chance, she might have really shot him.
A loud knock at the doors snapped Alicia out of her daze and silenced the King and Lana.
As the door crept open, it was Richard Doone who popped his head inside.
“Forgive me. I was told you wanted to see me Your Highness?”
Maxwell motioned for Richard to come inside as he quickly pushed all the paper into a file and out of sight. “Yes, do come in.”
Alicia watched as Richard quickly walked inside while pushing the door close behind him. He was dressed in his black button up shirt and slacks, a normal uniform for the bodyguards to wear. His lightly colored blonde hair however was loose, falling less than an inch past his chin. His right arm that had been shot was tucked away in a dark blue sling, yet there was no cast on it as she had expected.
Richard nodded to Lana and his eyes then turned to her.
“Princess.” he said, his voice and eyes much softer than even her own Father’s when seeing the horror of what had happened still on her face. “How are you doing?”
Alicia smile. “I am fine. I am still in one piece thanks to your bravery. There are no words of gratitude I could ever give that would be enough towards what you have done for me. It is you I should be asking that question.”
“This is nothing! I mean, it will be headed in less than 2 weeks. I’ll be back at work in no time, don’t you worry.”
“Work is precisely what I need to speak to you about Richard.” Maxwell said as he lend back in the chair.
When all attention had been turned to him, the King sighed.
“Frist, I want to thank you for saving Princess Alicia. You have saved this family a tremendous amount of media attention. We have enough of it already. The death of the Princess would make this island we live on seem dangerous when it is not.”
“I was only doing the job I would have done for you, Your Highness.” Richard replied with a small nod.
“I took a moment to read over the statements you made to the investigators and there is something that does not settle well with me.”
Alicia felt her heart jump as her Father jammed a finger on top of the a file that lay on the desk.
“You, Richard, said that you showed up on the scene because of a communication problem with my Daughter’s guards, is that correct?”
A worried glance from Richard was casted at Alicia before he turned his attention back to Maxwell with a curt nod.
“Then,” continued the King, “You were questioned as to why you did not inform anyone of your intentions of going to the hospital yourself. You stated …you simply had a ‘bad feeling’. Care to explain why you did not follow protocol and do the one thing that would have made you seem less suspicious? ”
When Alicia saw the confident Richard Doone struggle to answer, she snapped a glare towards the King, angry that he was doing this.
“Father – what does it matter? Richard was in the right place at the right time and saved my life. Bad feeling or not, he still saved me.”
“I do not have time for feelings.” Maxwell hissed coldly towards Richard’s direction. “I only have time for facts. The fact is this, 8 guards were killed and Richard not only showed up alone and to no one else knowledge, but he was not killed. Why is that?”
“Are you implying he had something to do with this?” Alicia snapped.
She opened her mouth to yell even more but her words were cut short when a large, rough hand grabbed the top of her thigh. Maxwell was sitting close enough to reach under the table and to grab her, unseen by anyone else. As his fingers squeezed, Alicia wondered if he knew that his hand was too far up her thigh and how uncomfortable it was making her. She wondered if he knew that when he did things like this, he was tittering on the line that divided abuse and sexual abuse. Sadly, this was not the first time he had done this and he didn’t even glance her way as his hand became a warning for her to stop talking.
When her eyes locked with Richard, something in her heart told her he knew what was happening. He always seemed to know whether it was cues he picked up on or the fact that he simply knew the King better than most due to being around him so much. As tears blurred Alicia’s vision, he looked away and down at the floor.
This is so unfair! How dare Father accuse this man when he only saved me – nothing more!
“Your Highness,” Richard finally spoke up while keeping his eyes down.
“I swear to you, I had nothing to do with what happened yesterday. Those men and women who were gunned down, they were my friends. I have served your family for years, I would never put you, the Princess, or anyone in danger. I can only say I just…I just had a bad feeling that day and showed up. There’s nothing illegal about it. But believe me, I had nothing to do with this.”
All eyes were turned back to the King who was frowning by now.
“I told you before, I do not have time for feelings.” he stated. “And so, you are terminated Richard Doone and if you come so much as 100 feet towards my home or any member of the Brodex family, I will have you shipped off to a prison.”
“You cannot be serious!” Alicia shouted in disbelief. “Father – do not do this!”
Pain shot down her leg as Maxwell hand shifted to her inner thigh, squeezing the tender flesh harder. Wincing, she lowered her head trying to hide the look of pain that crossed her face. But when she glanced back up at Richard, she was horrified by the look of pure anger that crossed his face. She knew he was fully aware of the King currently hurting her and she pleaded with her eyes for him to simply leave it be. The abuse she received from her Father was family business and Richard would find himself in danger if he ever got involved.
“You will be compensated for the 4 years remaining on your contract.” Lana, who had nearly been forgotten, added. “I will also notify you when funeral arrangements have been made and only then, you are allowed to be near the royal family, but nothing outside of that. While your involvement with Ganondorf seems slim, your right shoulder has been compermised and the royal has no time for those who are not 100% as of this moment. Even if you are found to be telling the truth, you job for this family has ended as of today. Now if you please…”
Lana stood and quickly walked to the door when she opened it and waited for Richard. Alicia watched as his mouth opened and closed twice before he dropped his head rubbed the bridge between his nose with his left hand.
“Your Highness, I have only ever wanted to protect your family.” Richard stated while looking back up at the King. “That is all I have ever wanted to do.”
“Richard Doone, believe me, you are not the only person in the world who feels that way.” Maxwell chuckled.
“Justly so. Then, let me say, it was an honor Your Highness…Princess…”
As Richard made a final bow and turned to walk out the door, Alicia suddenly had the urge to scream for him to stop. Maybe it was because he was being unfairly judged for his actions. Or perhaps she didn’t want him to leave due to the fact that he and Lana were the only two aware of the abuse she received from the King.
No…I just…do not want him to go!
It wasn’t love that made a tear fall down her cheek as she watched him walk down the hallway. She had never loved him and doubted she ever would. But it was the feeling of being alone that made her shove her Father’s hand off of her thigh as she pushed away from the table while standing. This was so wrong on so many levels and she was tired of feeling helpless.
“Daughter, before you go running after that man, you might want to know something.”
Alicia froze just before she was about to take off after Richard as he turned down the far hallway and out of sigh. She looked over at the King who gave her a cold stare from his seat. His finger tapped the file in front of him again.
“Richard Doone is not who he says he is.”
“What are you saying?” Alicia murmured while narrowing her eyes at her Father.
“What I am saying is this… that man has no history. No parents, no home, no grade school teachers, nothing! His history only begins the day he started to work here for us. Before that, his background check is blank.”
“It is as if he appeared out of thin air on the door steps of this family.” Lana added as she returned to the table and right next to the King’s side. “I did a deep background check just to be sure he truly was not involved in this attack. This is simply protocol for anyone who may witness a crime and live to talk about it. I found the information he had given us years ago when he first began his work here was gone meaning it must have been fake. So I dug further and found nothing about him…which is worse than finding out a person is a serial killer.”
The King shook his head with a degusted look on his face.
“He had a bad feeling- I say that is horse shit under my boot that I smell! I trusted Richard and now, whether he is involved with that murderer or not, I cannot – will not – allow a liar to simple walk around freely. That man is playing us, and I do not like to play. Lana…”
Alicia eyes widened as Lana pulled a red phone from the waste of her skirt.
“Just tell me when and how you want this done. I have other targets planned for the 3^rd, 9^th, and oh yes, I must not forget those two on the 6^th too.”
“Alicia.”
When the King called her name, she face him, tears now flowing freely down her cheeks.
“You are excused.” he pointed out with a dismissive wave of his have. “There is a press meeting that will take place in the Petal Family Room, but you are not invited. I do not need you before the media, crying weakly since you are still in a state of shock. I will tell them what I want them to know. In the meantime, you stay away and I will simply say…you are still recovering. Your things will be pack tomorrow since I think it is time you meet with Ladon Niccolo since you will be married to him in 2 years.”
“B-but the funeral!” Alicia protested. “They were my guards! Father, do not take away my very last chance to say good bye to them! They saved my life with their own, this is the least I could do for them and their families!”
“Your flight leave tomorrow at 6pm.” Maxwell continued as if she hadn’t said a word. “Now, leave us. I really do not feel like asking you once more.”
Alicia backed away from the two people sitting on the table she now knew she never realized how evil they were. She had seen Lana’s red phone before and the discussion of dates always lead to an assignation. Richard was going to be killed no one seemed to be bothered by this except for her.
“Oh, and Princess…” Lana shouted as Alicia hurried to the door. “If I miss my target because you are feeling brave, you may be twice your Father’s age before you can ever leave Torshavn Island where Ladon Niccolo lives. Do keep that in mind. Richard will be handled and I advise you to stay out of my way.”

AN:
WHEW – that chapter went on waaay longer than intended!!
Thank you for the Favs and Reviews! They help fuel the fire needed to push a chapter out!
When I started this story years ago, a few questions – good ones – were thrown at me and I’m going to address some of them now since were at that point in the story. Also, if you ran across my old story that still posted under my LadyJuly account on FF.org, then you will see where I have made some major changes. I had to do this since the direction I was going with the story made me hit a brick wall back then. This revised verse is going to dramatically change a lot of event – yet sticking to the plot I was kinda cooking back then. Example – the old story, it was Alicia who fired Richard for his safety of not putting him into anymore danger. This one, so much better to have the King do it with a motive to kill him.
Oooo!
Present VS OoT
Princess Alicia Brodex – Princess Zelda of Hyrule
Richard Doone – Link (Haaa did he ever have a last time?)
King Maxwell Brodex – King Hyrule
Lana Hanes – Impa (Yep, she’s a meanie)
Ganondorf – Oh you know this one!
King Maxwell / King of Hyrule
I had a person ask me, why was the King so bloody mean! When I think back to OoT, Zelda had pointed out that she was afraid of Ganon as a child and how her Father didn’t listen to her. This gave me the idea and the pleasure to turn the man into a cold, borderline abusive parent . Oooo but there is so much more to come with him.
Ganondorf Age
If I was guessing, from Oot, Ganon looked like he was a guy in his late 40s or early 50s. But then everyone has a driffrent option about that. However, in this story, he is really in his late 20s, early 30s and slightly…handsome? As the story continues, you’ll see where the guy is a total creep and his looks is sometime the fuel he uses to lure women.
Happy New Year!!!
