I Will Give You a Most Honorable Defeat (3/4)

Nozama smirked when he saw Link blocking a hit from his sword. He then asked, "Link, you barely knew the man. What's the point in saving him, anyway?"

Link was already prepared to die at this point. Even when he was about to be crushed under the weight of Nozama's sword, he still managed to smile as he said, "I've always been there to stop you at every turn since the day I entered the Firuman realm, haven't I? Why stop now?"

Nozama nodded, somewhat stunned. He did not expect such a reply from him, given the circumstances. "Indeed. You are also my daughter's husband, which naturally makes me your father-in-law. If you ask me, you kneeling down before me is something that is long overdue."

He uttered every word calmly, confident that Link would not be able to retaliate from such an awkward position even if he wanted to.

He's not wrong, I guess, thought Link. "A shame really, that I wasn't able to give you a grandchild."
