Hans had a set frown on his face when the mean Prince left, but he was pleasantly startled by a kiss to his cheek. His face immediately began to feel hot.
He liked this feeling.

Robin removed the scarf and smirked when John had finally left.
She had very much enjoyed watching John be nearly knocked out by a swift blow from Hans- In fact the last few minutes of this encounter had been fairly enjoyable for her.
"A seer hmm....? Now whats your plan M'lady?" Robin asked with a sly grin, at this point Robin was sure she had an ally, she could tell that Else thoroughly disliked The Phoney King.

Else grinned back. "Oh yes, a seer located deep within the darkest, most dangerous parts of our enchanted forest. You still have the pendant I gave you in the dungeons, correct? It is of the most importance that you keep it on your person out there..."
The queen made her way to the door and peeked out. Prince John and his men had been escorted to the throne room. Coast was clear.
"Hans." She called. Her king went to her side. "We need to borrow one of Prince John's mens' armor..." Hans blinked at her, uncomprehending. "Sleepy time for Prince John's soldier. Just one. And bring him back here. DON'T let Prince John or anyone see you... it's a game, you see."

Hans smiled broadly, cracking a fist. "Sleepy time." He repeated her words, stalking out the door in stealthy pursuit.

Else turned back to Robin. "The plan is this: Hans will take Prince John and his army in the deepest part of the wood. You will accompany the army: make sure to have your attire under the armor. As soon as we are at the destination, and the 'seer' puts on a rather distracting performance, you change out of the armor... and wait for the signal. Once the signal has been sounded, amidst the chaos and upheaval, retrieve your bow and stop as many soldiers as you can... unless they have all run away by then."
"By the end of this night, the name of Robin Hood will have an edge of the supernatural to it, and the Kingdom of Hans and Else will be known as one NOT to be trifled with..."

Robin gave a nod,"I like the way you think M'lady- lead the way"

Once Hans had returned, dragging one of Prince John's men on the ground behind him, Else began unfastening the armor on the unconscious man.
"That was quite quick, Husband." Else complimented, to which Hans grinned happily. "Now Hans, I need you to listen VERY closely... look at me, Husband." She waited patiently for him to give her his full attention. "You will lead Prince John and his men to the deepest part of the forest. You remember how to get there? Travel by the way of road." Hans finally gave her a nod. "And you will tell Prince John that your Queen has fainted and will not be going." She glanced at Robin, with a smirk. "After all, I am a weak feeble woman and the Prince is fiercely intimidating with his threats." She looked back at Hans. "That's all you need to say to him...'Else is NOT Going...Else has FAINTED.'" Because to argue with Hans was no more productive then running around in circles; you HAVE to let the simple man have his way to save your own sanity.
"Now let us make haste."

Once Robin was ready and further instructions were given to the King, Hans met with Prince John in the throne room, with Robin of Loxley's weapon in his large hands.
"Else is NOT going." He recited. "Else has fainted."

Robin peered out from behind the particularly heavy armor, anything she had worn before was maybe chain mail at the most and very light at that Leather was always preferred.
Her Uncle had a very displeased look on his face, but he kept his distance from Hans.

"Fainted? What do you mean FAINTED?" He huffed, He would prefer not to be through an unfamiliar forest by this buffoon. He looked to the soldier that had arrived with him and raised an eyebrow- but didn't think too much more of it, it's not like he knew each and every soldier in his service....
"Tell her that I demand that she be with us"

'Think of it as a game.' His Else had said.
He smirked. Perhaps if he said it in a different order, the moody Prince would finally get it. He took a stride towards him, tipping his blonde head down to meet stare for stare. "Else has Fainted." He said lowly. "Else is NOT going..." Perhaps the loveable simple man didn't realize it, but his tone could be interpreted as a threat. Completely unintentional.
The Prince drew in a breath to respond, but Hans' index finger shot up, to silence the Prince, as he once again uttered: "Else...is...NOT...going." He leaned in towards the smaller man, eyes narrowed. Daring...

The prince swallowed, he took a step back," Eh, yes... alright, well...." He figured for that moment that perhaps it would be best not to argue,"... lead the way Your Majesty"

Hans straightened, smiling broadly. He had won! He wanted to turn to the little man/woman behind him with a thumbs-up, but Else had told him not to.
The muscular king led the Prince and his force outside to the stables. Attendants already had the King's massive stallion prepared. Unknown to all except for the Queen and staff, the King's steeds had been trained on where to go... since Hans had a knack for getting lost: a steed trained to take him to the farmlands and back, one trained to take him to sites he liked, and so on. This black majestic creature was trained for one location: the enchanted forest, when Hans needed to 'escort' Queen Else to consort with the most unfavorable of forest creatures...
"This way!" Hans proclaimed, pointing off in one direction while his steed took off in another.

Theo mounted his Grey Stallion, curiously watching Hans- he spoke to his Capitan to remember the way the route they would take

Meanwhile, Else took her horse and followeda hidden shortcut, far from the main road to beat the small army before they got to the location.
This HAD to work. Not just For Robin's sake...but for Else and Hans' Kingdom.
