Prologue

In the forest of Sherwood lives a man, an outlaw. His name is Robin Hood. He is loyal to his king and respects all people. He wants to bring hope to those who lost it. He sees no good in law anymore and fights the Sheriff and all his friends. In Nottingham they do evil for king and country. No one stopped them. Who wants to live is with the Sheriff and who is with Robin will soon die.

Betrayal is dirty work but everyone does. Guy knows it any better. Everyone lies and he can't trust anyone. His poor servant girl and his heart suffer most. If only he would see she wants to help him like she helps everybody else. She knows no betrayal and is honest, but for how long?

Can a servant heal his heart?

Or will Guy break hers?

Part 1

Chapter 1 – No words

Lily still remembered the first time she saw him. Her master was tall, dark haired and very handsome but she could never tell him she saw more in him than it was obvious to the eyes. While other servants feared him she knew there was another side of him but she didn't know how to tell him.

His most loyal servant had no voice. Lily was on her knees to clean the floor of Sir Guy's room. He had chosen her out of all servants to clean his room and dry his clothes. She was proud to be his maid and barely left the room once he left to his own estate away from the castle and closer to the mob that spoke bad of him while they admired a criminal.

Lily had heard of Robin Hood. The young Sir Robin of Locksley was once a loyal to the king but like every men he had changed once he came back from the Holy land. A place so far that Lily didn't dare to think of it.
