Later on, very deep inside Sherwood Forest, to a hidden hideout used and lived by Robin and his Merry Men. The very last Merry Man, but not least, Much the Miller's son was guarding the hideout while the others were out. Much is a deep maroon brown warthog, with a wild, full mane and tail of coarse, spiky black hair. He is clothed the same green tunic, through he has a knife in his belt, and has a light blue hat. His tusks are pearly white and sharp.

Much heard footsteps, and as he grunted, "Who's there?".

"Wisdom is good yet Peace is better.". called someone on the other side.

Much grinned, "Robin! Come in!". Robin and the other Merry Men came in from entering the side of the waterfall.

Robin chuckled, "I presume there has been no trouble, Much?". Much slightly nodded, "Yes, through I found something I think you should see. I was having a very brief fishing break when wham, it was there next to me!". Much walked to his hammock, and brought out a heavy letter of parchment, turning to Robin who followed Much behind. The other Merry Men were curious and wary. Much gave the parchment to Robin who opened it up, and took to read it. It said:

To Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest,

Prince John of England, His Majesty, has invited you to the feast dinner tonight at 6'o clock.

Please be formal as we expect you to be there in the Great Hall of Nottingham Castle within the audience of His Majesty.

Sincerely, Sir Hiss, the advisor, and manservant of His Majesty, Prince John.

Robin chuckled loudly, "Well, well, looks like I got invited to a fancy shabash of dinner at the noshy castle, boys!".

Little John aka Johnny, waved his hands, "Robin, it would be a trap! I mean, think about it! Old Bushel Britches gonna be there, and these soldiers too.".

"Okay, it might be, but hey, I could crash the party, hmm? Princey would be furious if I don't show up any way. And besides, I hate upsetting anyone who invites me, even if it's him.". Robin smirked matter of fact.

Will grinned, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's crash the party!". The other boys agreed, laughing and chuckling. Robin laughed. Then they all made the plan to crash the party.

Meanwhile at Nottingham Castle, an audience of royal lords and nobles had arrived as they had been invited to the feast, welcomed by Sir Guy, the Sheriff, Maid Marian, Sir Hiss, and Prince John.

Marian was quite curious to why the nobles had arrived. "Milord, may I know why we are having a feast?". she asked carefully.

Prince John smiled, "To celebrate a wonderful thing, dear Marian.".

"And what might that be?". Marian asked curiously.

Prince John chuckled merrily-like, "Why, your engagement to Sir Guy. You see, Guy has asked for my permission to marry your hand, my dear.". Marian was mentally shocked, through she kept her face clear of emotion.

"I see, milord, and may I have your permission to wait until the day to marry? I feel best to know Sir Guy more before we get married.". Marian replied softly.

Prince John looked at Sir Guy who nodded subtly with a smile. "But of course, anything for your happiness, my dear.". Marian nodded, thanking John and Guy while grimacing in her mind furiously, with a hint of anger that she should be consoled in the first place before this happened!

Suddenly a loud noise happened in the hall before the great doors, revealing Robin Hood holding a staff of freshly caught fish hanging by tight threads. He gruntled slightly as the guards bothered to swarm him.

"Halt, who is this man before the Great Hall?". Prince John announced in curiousity.

One of the serfs called out, "Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest, Your Majesty.".

John smiled, "Then allow him in. I've invited him as well. Don't be shy, Robin Hood.". Robin smirked at a disgruntled guard who let down his sword as he passed by, walking around and up to the High Table, dropping the staff of fish.

"Your Majesty, Milords, Milady, here I present you a gift from Sherwood Forest, fresh caught salmon and carp to go along with your feast.". Robin smiled politely as he bowed in respect.

Sir Guy narrowed his eyes, "Kneel before His Majesty, Robin Hood.".

Robin grinned, "Afraid not, cannot stay here for long, for I have duties to do. And who might you be?".

Prince John waved a hand, "This is Sir Guy of Gisbourne, my top best knight of England.". Guy nodded subtly.

"Ahh, Gisbourne, I hear it's a nice village.". Robin complimented.

Guy lowly growled, "It's a town, really.".

"Oh, my mistake, sire. Oh, who might be this lovely lady before me?". Robin politely smiled then tilted his head in curiousity. Marian was lucky that her blush was hidden in her fur, otherwise everyone could see the pink tinge she's showing. She giggled mentally as she stared lightly at Robin, her long-lost sweetheart love.

"Maid Marian of Fincester, just arrived from London.". John replied proudly.

Robin grinned, "Golly, London, what a city! I expect it was to your expectations, milady.".

"It has been, sir Robin, and thank you for coming even if it was to be brief.". Marian replied thankfully with a small smile that only Robin would see.

Robin bowed, "Of course, milady. Excuse me as I must go.". He briefly saw the guards closing in thanks to the Sheriff's signal, and hopped into the table, scattering the plates of the nobles, earning yells and shouts, running then jumped, grabbing one of the iron chandeliers, swinging, landing into a stone bridge.

He laughed as he heard the guards shouting, trying to pinpoint him, as he made it to one of the glassless windows, and whistling as his loyal mundane horse came by. Robin jumped and gracefully landed, running with so much speed, narrowly avoiding the closing gates, and heading home to Sherwood Forest, as the gates closed behind him. He grinned, merry to make Prince John's night a ruined one, yet he made another person happy, his long-lost sweetheart, Marian. He cannot wait to see her again, hopefully soon. His dreams will make sure of that, indeed.
