Robin, Isabella and Robin's men faced Gisborne, Prince John and their soldiers
"I trusted you Isabella" Gisborne shouted at his sister. Gisborne loved his sister very much
"Appearances can be deceiving" Isabella and Robin were an item but they would be careful not to reveal this fact
"I will make you pay for what you have done Gisborne!" Robin was still angry and intent on revenge for Marian's death
"Now Guy what did you do to make Robin Hood so mad" Robin had his bow aimed at Guy's heart
"He killed the woman he loved" The unforgettable voice of the Sheriff of Nottingham echoed through the great hall
"I killed you" The Sheriff descended the stairs and stood next to Isabella
"How stupid can you be Gisborne, I knew you were trying to kill me so I wore a stab jacket" He drew his sword
"Well done Sheriff, I never knew you were so clever" The Sheriff didn't show any sign of emotion at Prince John's remark
"Marian would have loved to see this, ah Locksley" Robin didn't flinch at Marian's name
"Marian hated you, everything you stood for, everything you were" This touched a nerve and Gisborne lashed out with his sword only to be blocked by the Sheriff
"Temper temper" Gisborne's eyes bore into Robin's. There was pure hatred in Robin's eyes "You murdered my wife and now I will take revenge for what you did because the Robin Hood you knew died with her and was replaced by the Robin that was in the Holy Land before he came back to England" Gisborne and Prince John gulped hard "The one that was bloodthirsty and filled with anger" Gisborne backed off but stood his ground and the Sheriff lowered his sword
"My brother must have seen potential in you Hood if nothing else" Robin turned his eyes to Prince John "I must say he chose wisely when choosing his private guard"
"Shame he can't choose his family, he would gladly get rid of vermin like you" Prince John smirked then put his sword to Robin's throat
"I resent remarks like that Hood, you and your rabble are the vermin in this room as well as your precious Sheriff who you don't even like" Robin smiled
"At least The Sheriff has some morals unlike you and your puppet" The Sheriff hated Gisborne and Prince John more than he hated Robin Hood. Robin had saved his life on more than one occasion but he did steal his money, but Gisborne betrayed him that was bigger than robbery and extortion
"I'm sure Marian you speak of would be turning in her grave" Robin's expression was unreadable "I'm sure she wouldn't want a husband who would cheat on her with his worst enemy's sister" shocked expressions descended on the faces around Robin and Prince John "Do you think I wouldn't have you followed Isabella?"
"What are you playing at Robin?" Much asked "You said there would be no one else, you said that it would be like emotionally betraying Marian's memory" A figure appeared on the landing at the entrance of the great hall. They were wearing the Nightwatcher's outfit
