Rating: PG
Sir Guy certainly wasn't unpleasant on they eyes and his voice melted any noblewoman he took the time to talk to at the council of nobles. but Sir Guy brought bad news for everyone in Locksley and the possible future of my Father's rein as the sheriff of Nottingham.
I cannot lie i was very flattered when he took the time to speak to me an i, (even though i still kept Robin's necklace in my cleavage) was moving on. The hope remained in tact but my tolerance and patience wore thin. I needed an escape from my emotions and that was Sir Guy.
one particular day he approached me (and i admit i was developing a fondness for him) my heart skipped a beat just as it had done when i first knew i loved Robin. Buy every time my father suggested a courtship i had to refuse. it didn't seem right to marry the man that had undoubtedly taken the place of Robin.
my whole world around me was changing my feelings towards Robin, my thoughts on the politics of England and what i was meant to do when my father was forced of the post as sheriff of Nottingham, and the poor of England was being exploited. my feeling turned into a fight as the Nightwatchman and each night i would give the poor what they needed, i never really had a problem with Sir Guy until Robin returned.
at celebrations i was to be on my best behaviour, and it was an innocent enough act but it attracted more attention from Sir Guy. celebration became rare as people found there was nothing to celebrate, but the rare birthday and good harvest. at the banquets i would sit at the right side of my father who was now placed in the middle of the nobles because he was no longer sheriff. but he was also somewhere where the new sheriff could keep an eye on Father which also meant i was put on further display.
he began to approach me once again, and once again my heart skipped a beat.
"good evening Lady Marian" he bent over and kissed my hand.
"good evening Sir Guy" he looked directly at me and bowed once again as i addressed him. he was dressed completely in leather clad where as i was dressed in a black cotton dress with a pink floral print that hugged my figure nicely which in my opinion attracted Sir Guy even more.
"you look stunning" my legs almost buckled at the compliment not only that his extremely seductive voice, i turned red and tried to cool myself down by fanning myself with my hand.
"thank you Sir Guy as do.." i looked him up and down i wasn't really sure if he looked stunning in his leather but he certainly looked handsome, but it wouldn't have gone a miss if he changed his clothing for a celebration "you" i smiled once more and turned to my father to avoid further conversation and further embarrassment and awkwardness.
"thank you Marian, i was just discussing with the sheriff about your absences at the council of nobles" he began i raised an eyebrow and tried not to look Guy in the eyes.
"i have been feeling out of sorts lately, and father does not think it is the place for a lady such as myself" he looked at me in concern and i smiled back up at him "but i will try and attend tomorow" and with that he walked away. a feeling of emptiness erupted inside me along with he feeling of relife Sir Guy was like a polite stalker, but in ways i quite enjoyed his obsessive behavior because it dawned on me one day i could use it to my advantage.
it wasn't that i wasn't attracted to Sir Guy, it was just the hope that Robin would return grew stronger and with no news from the holy land i had a right to dream. it was still practical to think ahead when Robin would return. how i would pay him back for the years of torture and pain i suffered at his foolish actions and quest for glory. but if i was to receive news that Robin had died i would certainly consider Guy as a suitor.
then Robin returned
