How Legends Are Born Book 1 (a Robin Hood retelling)

chapter 17

Rose pov

The sight of Uther  and Isabella  with Arthur  and Merlin was heart warming. They will make a great family. I also found no surprise that Merlin was bound to one in their family.  Merlin is just a child himself and lacks a major parent figure. Sure we all try to be what we don't have here but, Merlin needs a constant like I had not people  coming and going or the rules changing for safety reasons.

While I was looking around  I see our king or Leo  as he has us call him looking happy  for the new family.  He has a dreamy look like he can't wait to have kids himself. I hope he finds the lucky girl soon.

It's been two weeks since  Isabella had Arthur. Alot  has gone since than. The sight of the bet loosers was hysterical . Our king and Gene  in a dress was a sight for sore eyes while working on their chores. Speaking of the king he still every chance I get comes to talk to me. I have come to treasure and enjoy these moments.  I fear my feelings  have grown  to love  but, I am careful  not to let anyone know.

I also have this feeling  that he also has a hidden agenda.  I don't want to get involved since it's possible it's a royal thing. I have a bigger thing to worry  about tomorrow I am participating in this lords archery  contest.  He is offering enough of a prize that could feed the villagers  we help for months. At first we thought  it could be a trap but alot of the contestants who registered  are repeat participants  and the lord has paid handsome prizes to them. So to help the village I am going a few of my men are also going to partipate and be ready if something happens. Hopefully  we will leave with more than enough  to help the villagers.

Richard's pov

I love her. I never thought those words would come to me. These last two weeks I realized I love her and have decided  to tell her after  this contest  everything.  Hopefully  she will understand  the lies. I will be there to cheer her on while I too am participating in the event. Hopefully this helps the people she loves.

Prince John's pov

Tomorrow  sweetheart  tomorrow you will be ours the tower is ready. The trap is set and we will have you pregnant  by nightfall. You will be able to beg ,scream and cry but no one will be able to save you. I know for a fact that you rescued my brother and I wonder if he has fallen  for you. If that is the case after we capture you we will leave a note at the tournament enticing help. Jafar  has the cuffs that can turn two wizards into wish granting servants. If all goes well her men won't realize it till to late. All it took to make sure she comes was a spell Jafar created to make people  believe  this tournament happened before as invite only and for the first time ever it was open to everyone.  Still I can't wait for Jafar and my desires to be granted. Soon rose soon.
