He straightened and nodded once. "I owe the three of you a great apology. If I learned nothing else from my son over the past few years, it is that destiny is not a thing anyone should ever thrust upon someone else. We had no right... I had no right.... to demand the three of you serve that destiny. My role should have been to ask, and to aid and to guide, if you accepted. No matter the cost to my world, or the people I love, what I did to the three of you was wrong."
He took a deep breath.
"But come now, we have much to discuss if we are both here." His staff flew to hid hand and he drew his tomes into it. "There are quiet cars, where we might talk in peace."
Link... Link knew what happened between him and Zagato at the end. Knew he killed Zagato. But only someone who had been to Ceiphro could truly understand what that meant, the depth of what he had done. That he had not been wholly himself at the time excused nothing, given how close it had been to his actual desires. The fact that he never got to make peace... He needed to not keep what happened secret. Too much was lost, too many were hurt, due to secrets.
But also if she was here, then he needed to hear the words for himself, that Emuraude was free. Was safe. That Ceiphro was restored. He would then do what it took to make amends with the three young women he had wronged.
He would fix what he could fix. And then one day he would take his son to Ceiphro. And Zelda. Let the princesses meet. Let Presea blister his ears for introducing Ferio to one so like him... It would be worth it. To see his world whole and his son and Zelda happy.
Lol, he is just off 4 years CRAU
