She lay in her bed, her eyes staring up at the tall ceiling. Today was the day, wasn't it? She close her eyes and rolled over in her bed, her stomach churning. It wasn't that she didn't like Aidan, it was just... She was nervous. She didn't really know what to think or... how to think it. She let out a shuddering sigh and sat up in her bed. There, at the foot of her bed, stood Ellie, her maid servant. 

[b]"Morning, Your Highness."[/b] She rang, a smile on her face. Zelda smiled at her and nodded.

[b]"Good morning, Ellie."[/b] Zelda replied, stretching and yawning as she stood up from her bed. Her white night gown flowed gently around her ankles, her hair coming down her shoulder in a messy tangled mess. She turned her head towards Ellie who was already standing next to her. [b]"Time to get dressed then, I suppose."[/b] She told her. Ellie shook her head.

[b]"No ma'am. First, we need to do your makeup, then your dress and then your hair. Orders from your father."[/b] Ellie replied, already pulling Zelda towards the vanity. She sat her down and began pulling out certain makeups to apply to the princess's face. Zelda sighed, staring at the mirror. An image of Link popped into her head and she closed her eyes, trying to will it away. No, stop thinking about him. He's just a farm boy... turned hero. She wasn't meant for him and neither he for her. He probably had some other more... normal girl back home anyway. When she finally looked back up, the makeup was done. She looked positively pale... [i]I looked like a ghost... Save for the blush.[/i] 

She sighed and then turned as Ellie was already there with a dress in hand. She stood slowly as Ellie pulled the dress over Zelda's head. It took a few minutes, but finally [url=http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/1a/8a/a31a8a409ff9fdec0cd385f1cac578c1.jpg]everything[/url] was in place. Everything was tightened securely and all the extra little pieces applied. She looked once again in the mirror at herself. The red didn't really suit her but she didn't really have any room to complain. She moved back towards the vanity and sat down. It was a bit hard considering the tightness of her corset, but she managed. Ellie, with a quick ease began pulling on Zelda's hair, pulling our knots and then pulled half of it up into an intricate braid that tied up at the back. The rest of her hair still flowed down on her shoulders. She sighed. He rback already hurt from the dress. What she wouldn't give to be out in the fields, doing what Link does... She closed her eyes again, willing herself. Sh took in a deep breath and then rose. She walked over to the door with a small smile on her face. 

[b]"Well, I'll see you then, Ellie."[/b] She told her maid and was out the door. As she stepped outside, three guards surrounded her and followed her down to the meeting room where she would see her new fiancé. She knew Aidan a little bit from the few times she met him. He was kind, though strange. She couldn't really hate him, after all she had to love him for the sake of their country, right? It was high time she swallowed her pride and did something for her country. The only time she'd see Link would be in times of hardship and... the only time she could be with him were hopefully in the next life. 

She walked into the meeting room, waving the guards away and walked over to the window to wait. She stood, much as a princess should, with her hand held in front of her, held together. Her feet were touching, her back straight. She had all the elegance of a woman that had spent her entire life as a princess. She stared out at her kingdom, her eye flitting to a particular spot in the valley of the mountain... A normal village like any other...
