Centuries ago,
When Zelda came out of her room, there was no one in sight. She waited by a pillar for close to fifteen minutes before Prince Toran returned.
"I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I had to do something" Prince Toran said, not exactly meeting her eyes. Zelda nodded as Escort Krogen fell behind Toran, along with other guards.
When they got to the front of the gathering which was already in swing, Zelda paused to take a
deep breath. Toran noticed her and gently snatched her hand, intertwining it in his.
He took the first step that led them to where everyone was gathered. Tema and Kamaz were seated under one of the pavilions with other high officials behind them.
Prince Toran's presence was announced by the herald at the entrance. Voluntarily and involuntarily, the eyes of everyone went towards Zelda and Toran.
