Hey, this is my first Robin Hood fic and I am hoping on updating regularly, I hope you enjoy. I do not own any Characters, but Mary is my OC xx.
It was not a complete secret that Vaisey was married and had a daughter who had lived in London all her life with her mother. Vaisey's somewhat brash manner had drove the married couple apart so the wife and daughter lived in London whilst he exercised his regime in Nottingham and went power hunting. So alas, Mary, his daughter had never met her father but had heard many 'colourful' stories about how he ran the towns he had been Sherriff of. This information about the Sherriff was not generally known even though it wasn't a secret, because many people found it hard to believe that a woman would ever marry a man like him and even provide for his child by placing them in a fairly large estate in London. Some of these people included Robin Hood and his gang who thought it was a joke when Marian informed Robin that the sheriffs' twenty year old daughter was going to live in Nottingham because her London home was lost to her due to her mother's death and a lack of a male heir.
"That's a good one Marian, what's next, he'll reveal a secret soft spot for kittens?" remarked Robin when she told him.
"I'm serious Robin, Guy told me, he has known all along!" Said Marian feeling as though Robin was being ungrateful to this new information.
"Well fine, if it is true, why would it concern me, except from the disturbing fact that Vaisey has offspring?"
Marian rolled her eyes, she sometimes wondered how Robin survived even a week in the forest. "Well, the daughter Mary is possibly the only person he cares about, I mean he could have left them penniless but he provided for them, and now he wants her to live with him"
"So... Where are you going with this Marian?"
"So... If she were taken hostage, he might pay the ransom if he believed she was in danger"
The realisation spread across Robins face in seconds. "Of course! it would be a friendly kidnap obviously, but he wouldn't know that, he pays the ransom, the villagers are fed, she goes free, everyone wins!"
"Exactly!" Said Marian relieved.
"Wow, I'm full of great ideas! bye my love" he said as he kissed her cheek and winked has he whisked off leaving Marian infuriated with Robin as usual. When Robin finally arrived back at camp he looked around at John, Allan, Djack, Will and Much and said "we have a kidnap to prepare for and you'll never guess who had a wife and child"
