The flower named Lilly

by vertrauteaugen

Guy didn't know many people who looked at him with open eyes. They were always scared of taxes and punishment but this servant girl was different. Her fear didn't stop her from helping and for a short time he suspected her to be one of Robin's men, but her true heart was more than that. Lilly saw good in him and after Marian's betrayal it was the servant girl who has his heart.

Chapter 4 – Trust me

Sir Guy of Gisborne walked closer to the sheriff's quarters. His personal stuff was frightened of every movement and hid the moment they heard footsteps coming closer.

His own servant had never act this way. She had done her work properly and didn't seem to be scared nor forced to do her duties. Gisborne's own servant seemed to like his servant and while he swallowed hard he realized he was the only one of his servants who seemed to like her duties.

Out of all he should have protected her not only to please Marian but for his own sake. To have someone near him who didn't hate him should have been an honor and priviledge to him but losing it he bit his tongue and opened the door to the sheriff's personal chamber.

The door wasn't locked and a voice shouted at him pushing his silent servant back into his arms. "Take her! Take her out of my sight! This disgusting thing... take it away!"

Leaning against his chest the poor servant was crying while Sir Guy didn't know what was going on. He looked from his sheriff to his servant and his body was controlled by mixed feelings. Heat and cold both shook him before he grabbed the girl by her arm and dragged her out of the room.

"I want her punished! Kill her, Gisborne, kill her!" The words of the sheriff were following him but Sir Guy didn't performed his duty and had other plans. His feet were rushing down the halls dragging his servant girl with him to the entrance gate where Marian was waiting with his horse.

She nodded to him and his heart skipped a beat while his crying servant held his hand tighter. Her fear of the sheriff late him leave Marian's side without a word instead he helped the girl on his horse and left the castle as soon as possible.

Riding home to his own estate she hugged him and held tight to his chest. No woman had ever done this around him but he had seen women act the same in Nottingham and Sherwood.

When someone is scared they look for help at the nearest person they trust and on the way home his servant girl trusted him like no one ever did before.
