Nottingham Castel

Marian walked she used to love being in the castle playing hide and seek with Robin. Or looking for secret passage ways and fighting dragons. But times had change the corridor no longer feel happy, safe and cheerful it was now long, clod and a feeling of dread.

"Marian" said the voice of Guy

"Guy" said Marian "How are you today?"

"The sheriff has got me doing some pointless task" said Guy "But that dose not matter how are you"

"I'll be better if me and my father weren't under house arrest" said Marian

"It wasn't my order" said Guy

"But you happily went thought with it and burned my home to the ground" pointed Marian she paused "What task has the sheriff set you?"

"That is none of your business" said Guy "I must go I am busy" Guy walked away Marian rolled her eyes and walked into her room.

"I say you too didn't look to cosy today" said A voice

"Robin" said Marian smiling to herself and turning to see Robin sitting on the edge of her bed "What are you doing here?"

"I just popping in to see how you are" said Robin "plus I was in Nottingham anyway drop off"

"So your gang is out and about" said Marian "Handing out the money and you getting all the praised"

"I didn't ask for it" said Robin

"I know you didn't" said Marian "So what have you come to ask me?"

Robin stood up "I over heard something interesting this morning about a tool tax?"

Marian nodded "One of the sheriff first taxes only carry them out once, this was about five years ago"

Robin nodded "I heard people got arrested"

Marian looked angry "if the family couldn't pay their children got arrested and did work up in the castle, but the taxes only affected some families one of traded"

Robin looked thoughtful "What work?"

"Cleaning and severing mainly" said Marian "Who did you overheard?"

Robin looked up "Will and one of his old friends. They mention they both arrested. Will's father was a carpenter he mustn't be able to pay the tax"

"Why don't you talked to Will about it?" asked Marian

"Because then I have to tell him I eardrop on his convention" said Robin "Then he think I do not trust him. And then he might not trust me. I need my men trust we can not work with out trust"

That was understandable and true without trust the gang couldn't pull off half of what they do. "Do you trust Will?" asked Marian

"Yes" said Robin "They nothing to say otherwise he just didn't mention he was arrested and he won't not unless it come up in convection. And normal after a long day we want happy thoughts"

Marian shook her head "The only thing fishy about it is the fact the sheriff didn't get much money out of the tool tax"

Robin nodded "Yeh, who did the taxes effects?"

"I'm not to sure" said Marian "Being a women I was keep out of these kinds of things" Robin looked a bit annoyed "But it's most likely to be to document on it, I can look if you like?"

Robin shook his head "No, you only get into trouble, and it not a big problem right now. I doubt the sheriff had a real plan. Will friend said he was must likely testing his powers"

"Do not underestimate the sheriff Robin" warned Marian

"Don't worry I don't" said Robin "I better get going. To checks thing are running smoothly" Robin lead in for a kiss.

"You need a wash" said Marian

Robin ginned "Care to join me?"

"Go" said Marian "Or I will call the guards"

Robin smiled and walked out of the room with a bow. 'men' thought Marian ' can't live with them can't live without them'

So Why did the sheriff carry out the tool tax was it just the test of power or was it something else?

Hope you enjoy

Next chapter on it way soon
