"We'll have to make up another partner," Yammo said. At Zumi's cringe, she moved her hand to tuck a bit of Zumi's hair behind her ear. "I know," she said. "That wouldn't be my first choice in your position either. And we don't have to elaborate on an identity, or any details. Just someone that passed through that enamored you, and went on his merry way, not long before Link and I showed up. Way too early for you to have any idea that you'd gotten pregnant. In most situations, it's tough to pin down an exact day of conception, and the midwife in Hateno would have no reason to disbelieve a claim of conception a week earlier than it really happened."
At Zumi's continued silence, and continued look of unhappiness and an offended sense of fairness, Yammo leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Like I said, we'll let everyone else wonder. But while Link might pretend he didn't notice the strange timing and get away with it, we can't guarantee the queen will miss it. In fact, we should assume she won't. And if anything is said about how he convinced you to leave the stable with me, then it would look that much worse. And all else aside, it sounds like this would hurt the queen, and that would hurt Link more than that unfairness you're seeing would."
