Hi, again. I'm really enjoying writing this, but I'd still like some more suggestions on what to call this. Okay, the last chapter ended with Robin going to find the King, so we'll pick it up from there.

Robin searched for the king, and eventually found him with Bassam, admiring the pigeons. "Your Majesty." he said, bowing "Could I speak with you, privately?"

The King nodded and the two of them walked away. "What are you going to do, Robin?" Richard asked

"I need to go back to England, the people of Nottingham need me." he said "More now that the Sheriff has failed to kill you than ever before."

"But you do not wish to leave Marian."

"Yes." he said "I just wish there was a way."

"Maybe, Lady Marian could stay here while she recovers and two of your gang could stay with her, while the other three return to England with you." Richard suggested

"That is half a plan."

"What is the other half?" the King asked

"The other half is that Carter also stays here and with Marian's help you can make peace with Salahadin and return home."

"Agreed."

"Thank you." Robin said "I will leave tomorrow."

--

He left the King and returned to Marian who was asleep. He slept in the room with her, wanting to be there in case she took a fever. She did not, but she did however wake in the middle of the night and Robin explained his plan to her, she agreed and then both of them fell asleep.

--

The next morning, Robin gathered the gang, including Carter together in Marian's room "Will, Djaq." he said, looking at the young couple he was addressing "I need you to stay here and look after Marian. Help bring peace between our countries and bring the King home."

"I will." Will said as Djaq nodded.

"Much, John and Allan, you'll be returning to England with me, today, the Sheriff and Gisborne have had enough of a head start, they're probably back in Europe by now."

"Yes, master." Much said

"We go to England." John said

"I'm not being funny." Allan said "But, when I go back, I'll be as good as dead for betraying those two."

"The gang will protect you, won't we?" he said. Both John and Much agreed "I'm in." he said.

"Good." Robin said. "We leave as soon as we're ready."

"What about me?" Carter asked

"You need to stay here as well." he told him "I need you to help Marian, Will, Djaq and the King make peace here and then you'll be their protector on the way back home."

Carter nodded and they all left the room, leaving Robin and Marian alone. He turned to face her. "I will miss you, my love." he said

"I shall miss you too, my husband." she smiled and then he kissed her.

When they broke the kiss, he left the room and found the others gathered to say goodbye to Will, Djaq and Carter. Robin was last to say goodbye. "Goodbye, Robin." Djaq said as she hugged him

"Look after her." he said, this of course was aimed at all three of them and it was meant doubly in Will's case as he had to look after Djaq too.

"I will." both men said.

Robin left and walked with the King

"Good luck, Robin." Richard "You will be my representatives in England. You are King Richard."

"What about you?"

"We are Robin Hood."

The four gang memebers standing there said "We are Robin Hood!"

They turned and walked away, heading towards the shore, where they would get the first ship that they could back to Europe.

--

The Sheriff and Gisborne were now back on European soil. They got off the boat with their horses and went to the nearest inn where they got two beds. The Sheriff slept like a baby, but Gisborne didn't, he still felt guilty for what had happened to Marian...

--

After several hours, the sun began to set and Robin and the gang were close to the port. When they arrived, they got on a ship and set sail for Europe.

Ok, that's me for now, 'cause I have to go home, although, I might just kill my little sister if she doesn't stop saying no, 'cause I asked her to take my DVD out of the DVD player and put it in it's box. Anyway, I'll be updating my other story soon I think, but I think there's one in between, but I can't remember, I'll figure it out when I get home and I'll post more soon.
