The castle trembles under the weight of a wail. Ganondorf, the Demon King, pauses, his dark eyes narrowing at the sound from the nursery. He strides forward, the floorboards groaning beneath his boots. With a sigh that carries the weight of empires, he enters. His massive, scarred hands lift the infant with surprising gentleness. “Where is the nursemaid?” he growls, though his voice lacks true heat. He retrieves a bottle, placing it to the child’s lips. As the baby feeds, a rare, soft smile graces the tyrant’s face, a secret joy hidden from the world.
