-But ... The Familiar ... Line blood ... was... interrupted ... More than once ... - Link said, his throat began to hurt, he cleared it to start gesturing, with his constant visits, Sidon knew that the throat clearing sounds meant something, after all, Link often visited to help him train with the zora spear, he looked for the knight's pouch to find the fairy potion and gave it to the blond.

Link thanked the little prince with a nod and took the liquid before storing it back, but he continued with his gesticulation.

During the great flood, the royal family was lost until the appearance of a pirate that called herself "Tetra" who was the daughter of a pirate who descended from the many branches of Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule's blood.

He explained until out of the corner of his eye he saw the small figure of Mipha hidden behind one of the pillars, she hid more when perceived Link's gaze -My dear daughter ... I know you are there, Sidon, bring her, we want to talk- said the king while Sidon made a hylian greeting, placing his hand on his forehead, still wearing Link's beret, he went to get his sister.

-W-W-Wait Sidon! - Mipha pleaded as the little Zora managed to drag her to her father's throne -F-Father- she said -Daughter, you know that we must face this issue sooner or later, you can't hide behind Muzu forever, it has already passed 2 years with the continuous visits of the other champions and you can't ignore them or go out when you see them - Dorphan said, the zora princess lowered her gaze in a hint of sadness -I understand ...-

Link looked at her sadly, Sidon took one of her hands with his in a gesture of concern Mipha carried her brother -You should hate me Link, I broke Zelda's heart, that's why I couldn't even see the others champions or you, I'm horrible, I drowned myself in sadness and hate for myself...- she said as she closed her eyes tightly, her fear caused an horrible depression on the princess and she couldn't handle it until some months ago and Link was the first step to get out.

The knight stood up to hug her -Why ... do you think...That your love...Is ... a sin? - he asked.

Mipha looked him -B-Because i-it has always been like that, all the princesses of Hyrule without exception have to give birth to a baby for Nayru give her power in them- Link denied, he separated from her to return to his explanation.

During my travels, I learned about Hyrule's history; During the great flood or the era of twilight both princesses descended from distant ancestors, it is estimated that the princess who sought the new lands for the new Hyrule came from an adoptive family; Hylia and Nayru are the ones who choose the descendants of their power to rule the kingdom, not the royal family itself.

... But Zelda believed in those rules too, and now her father and her are organizing a tournament where the winner will marry the princess.

He stopped as soon as he saw the expression of horror in Mipha -She's going to get married?! - she exclaimed, her voice trembled, she lowered her brother to bring both hands to her chest, her chest felt cold, very cold; Like when she was about to perish before that Blight Ganon who appeared in Rutah -N-No, I don't want that... No, Link, please don't - she begged taking him by the arms.

Link looked away -She ... is willing ... to do it- he whispered, closing his eyes.

Mipha spent a long time shaking until she forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath and straightened up, clinging to the symbol of Nayru that hung from her neck -Then I will participate in the tournament- she said decisively.

The hero looked at the zora princess who was extremely convinced. -I will no longer feel sorry for myself, I must go and apologize, I will clear things up and win that tournament! - She said in a louder voice, Link smiled -The tournament ... Starts ... In a week ... Although the candidates...are ... arriving... already - he said offering his hand - Are you coming? -.

Depression wasn't going to heal soon, but it was the first of the many steps.

-I want to train before entering the tournament, ¿Will you help me with that?- She asked, Link nodded.

The distance between the zora domain and the castle is a day and a half away, so we have 4 or 5 days to prepare you.

Under those conditions, she nodded -I will do my best, but first, I will notify King Rhoam of my participation -she said confidently.

Mipha's body dashed against the ground and  crawled for several meters until her back collided with a rock -Ah! - she let out a groan, hurried to get up and looked for her trident while Link ran directly towards her with the master sword in his hand.

The zora princess ran as fast as she could to grab her trident and block the knight's spin attack, in one swift movement she caught the blade of the weapon between the trident's teeth and sent the master sword flying through the air to land next to them, before Link moved Mipha pressed the blond's chest with her undefeated weapon, she was panting, full of wounds but smiling triumphantly -I'm ready, right?-she asked.

Link nodded with a proud smile.

-Let's go, to ... recover ... Zelda- he said while giving her a pink-hued potion -Thank you, this will come in handy- she said; Link looked away, during those days he noticed that Mipha had trained on her own, but pushed herself to unimaginable limits -I see you at ... the entrance of the ... domain- he said before leaving, it was admirable.

The days already passed and they needed to speed up their pace if they wanted to arrive in time for the tournament; It occurred to him to lend Epona to Mipha.

He could see in the distance the princess who had a bigger pouch around her waist, Link raised his hand in the form of greeting until Muzu got in the way blocking Mipha's path -Princess, I forbid you to take one more step- he said authoritatively.

(THIRTY-FOURTH CHAPTER; Let's understand Muzu, two hylians broke Mipha's heart, he's scared about her baby pupil, the question will not be if they will get to the tournament but how will Zelda react when she sees the zora princess again? I'll make the baby Sidon a fan art wearing the royal guard's beret, i just love tiny Sidon! And so, Mipha wasn't "magically cured" as Revali already mentioned that him and other champions have tried to cheer both up and also they count with loving families)
