As Ganondorf stepped forward to pledge his loyalty to King Rauru and Queen Sonia, his demeanor was that of a proud and stoic chieftain.

"King Rauru, Queen Sonia," he began, his voice commanding and filled with a regal authority. "I, Ganondorf Dragmire, Chieftain of the Gerudo people, stand before you to pledge my unwavering loyalty to the kingdom of Hyrule."

His gaze shifted and he noticed someone among them, a figure who stood apart, their eyes fixed on him with an intensity that sent a shiver down his spine.

There was something familiar in their gaze, that caught him off guard Ganondorf faltered. His voice wavered, a crack in his otherwise composed demeanor.

He wondered how this person could see through his carefully created façade, how they could sense the hidden motives lurking beneath his mask.

*With a subtle shift of his expression, he continued his vow, regaining his commanding tone. As he spoke, Ganondorf's eyes briefly flickered back to the figure who had caught his attention.
