SHORT CHAPTER AHEAD! But please ENJOY!
Maid Marian turned around and saw the man who spoke. "Lord Edward! What are you doing?"
Lord Edward smirked. "Why, did you really think that I would just let you leave me like that? I do not get dumped by my fiancee, especially after all that I did for you."
Maid Marian began to feel panicked, but she tried to keep her voice even as she said, "I do not love you, Lord Edward, how can we be married if we are not happy?"
Lord Edward approached Marian from the steps that he was standing on. "I do not care if you are not happy. I have almost all the high officials of England coming here to the wedding and I will not be made a fool in front of them by my fiancee leaving me for some bandit in the woods."
Marian felt her eyes widen. "You, you know about Robin?"
Lord Edward nodded, the smirk never leaving his face. "Of course I know about him. Did you really think that you could hide the real fact that you are leaving me? I will not have the women that I have spent so much time and money on leave me to go back to her bandit husband."
Marian lifted her head up and glared at Lord Edward. "Exactly, my husband, that means that you and I can get married. You have to let me go so I can go back to my real husband."
Lord Edward nodded to the guards who had gathered around Marian and Hope. "Well, my guards here can take care of Robin Hood. If he was to die, and you were to become a widow as you once thought you were, then we would be able to get married, would we not?"
Marian's face went pale as she realized what Lord Edward was planning to do. "No! Yo can not kill him!"
Lord Edward lifted his hand and motioned to his guards. "Take Maid Marian and her daughter back to their room. The rest of you go to Sherwood forest and arrest the outlaw Robin Hood. He has many warrants for arrest for him all around England. I will personally give a hundred gold pieces to the man who brings him to me, dead or alive."
The guards nodded and headed to the gate, while two guards led Marian and Hope back to the castle, while Marian could just stare at the gate, wishing that she could warn Robin of the impending danger coming to him.
