Do Not Betray My Expectations

“Absolutely not.”

“You are a cheeky and audacious woman.”

“Good evening to you as well, Princess.” He hadn’t been attacked the moment his foot touched cobblestones, but Ganondorf still hadn’t let down his guard. Zelda meeting him in person was a pivotal moment, as well. Either she was supposed to be bait for a trap, or this was a genuine gesture of good will.

Yes, almost certainly a trap.

“I see. Do you have an  idea on how to resolve this?”

She was curious, as to what he had to say. She had heard some things about the borders, but nothing she was able to really look into just yet. It was on her list of things to do, most certainly. But she had a long list of things she had to get done. Hopefully he would be able to explain to her what was going on. That was why she met with him to begin with. She was concerned, she didn’t want it to become a bigger problem than what was already going on.

"But as our population has grown, that has become unsustainable. My people are at a crossroads, Your Highness. Either we keep our current course until we have drank the lakes dry and stripped the trees barren, or we must... manage our population." Even despite his rehearsal, Ganondorf could not hide what a dark euphemism "manage" was, nor his anger at it even being on the table as a possible necessity.
