note climbed the steps leading from the dungeon as he headed to the execution railway yard. Damn it ! He knew that they were famous for being stubborn but he did n't conceive that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the spark. Ahead he could hear the three males cursing and struggling to get unloosen.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not give birth the time to gratify to pleading traitors. I am trying to reconstruct the huge and powerful kingdom my family helped to make. I have no prison term for the likes of you ! This is the solitary chance you will have. Help the realm or die ! I am not my Church Father so I will offer you this. '' bank bill waited a few minutes then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded figure he said, `` Make it slow so they suffer ! ``

As he walked away he heard all three of the men yell. `` If you are truly the tycoon elect then you can understand why we refuse ! ''

circular walked back getting in all three of their faces. `` I understand a disservice was done to all three of you. As I said I have n't the meter to wait for you three to work up your minds ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonour will reach all of your families as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your response ? ''

'' Release us and we will swear faithfulness to you ! '' The onetime of them said.

'' I am not a young, stupe kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were great swordsmen that would relish a admittedly challenge. arrivederci slimy I your families will be homeless soon ! '' neb said as he turned to go.

'' hold ! '' The same honest-to-goodness man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true gens are. I know that King Tomco only told his youthful son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no further worry with us. ''

poster nodded as he racked his brain to remember the names his father had told him when he was so Lester Willis Young. Suddenly a slight smile crossed his back talk as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the Male would nod to the others and Philip Milton Roth. Finished placard moved to stand in front of them.

'' Sire. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in social movement of him. Roth also knelt next to them as each of them stated. `` I am a citizen of the region I pledge my animation and my blade to the purity of the realm ! To protect the mogul and the kingdom ! ``

Taking a mystifying breath posting nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the delays, at least he had them now. Narrowing his middle as he looked at all three of them he just hoped that they did n't run off at this next parting. Pulling his father 's sword that he 'd strapped on before he made for the prison house, he stepped to all four of the swordsman kneeling.

'' I desire all four of you in a far more reaching content than you think. '' note said as he moved before the low gear of them. Touching the sword to each shoulder peak stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First Knight of the realm. '' Moving to the second he repeated the Lapp motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First Knight of the realm. ''

Both of the first two Male were in jar almost unable to move, as of yet unable to speak.

Bill moved to the third whose mouth was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the tertiary male person on the shoulders flier stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas outset knight of the realm. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock Bill finally stopped in front of Roth. Tapping his berm Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, First horse of the land, and general to the kingdom 's army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides handbill that knew that it was going to hap. Roth bowed to Bill as he said, `` As First knight of the Realm I will protect the king, the land, and the realm with my life. I will uphold all laws giving aid whenever potential. My liege subject, I swear my faithfulness unto you. ''

One by one each of the fencer followed Roth 's good example. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As horse of the land we must have all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing Bill shook his head. `` At present there is n't much for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are able to train many to protect the kingdom. ''

'' Yes sire, we will initiate as soon as possible. '' Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your English should n't you go through with the coronation ? ''

Bill could only sigh, everyone was so eager to create him a moving butt ! `` I will take that into circumstance. At present matter are safer now at least in the palace, or they will be after a few daylight. '' When Roth and the others looked a little disconnected broadside explained. `` It was found that the palace was a haven for a multitude of listening devices. ''

'' Ah ! That was why I saw all those techs going in a while ago. '' Roth said.

'' Yes, '' Turning to the early three bank bill stated. `` As you can see I have my beginner 's temper, not as bad but I do have it. I will not tolerate betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at least 'til you can ply better. Though I think my match might have something to say about that. ''

All four of the male nodded in concord their eye wide a here and now when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying brand. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient fencer ? '' When all four bristled pecker held up a hand.

'' These three along with Roth are low gear knight of the land. I suggest you address them as such. '' billhook told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

'' As your mates and queen mole rat elects we feel that they should be tested. '' Twitty hissed as she drew her sword.

Bill rolled his center when Twitty attacked with blazing f number being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to put off a myriad of jive that Gregor was taking.

Separating Twitty nodded as she put away her brand. `` You are well trained in the old manner of blade play. It was an honor to see your acquirement. '' Gregor said.

Even as Twitty was sheathing her sword, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every thrust, drive and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her speeding. Finally a specton later they separated.

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such skill in one as young as you is admirable ! Your instructor taught you well. ''

Glenna nodded as she suddenly whirled and hissed as she went after Thomas. `` 'bout time, '' He said with a smile. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are to a greater extent than satisfactory spouse. '' Both of them told Bill.

A huge smile on his font, vizor nodded as all four of the males fell in behind Bill and his married person.

'' I know that all of you have families now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are offset knights, the danger to them will increase. '' vizor told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the same telephone line sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in homes inside the walls. '' Philip Milton Roth relayed a moment later.

eyeshade and the entourage with him stopped as broadside pondered this. `` I think I see your point Roth. better protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far well-off than if they were in the palace. I like this theme. '' Turning to the other three Bill asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families care to live within the walls ? ''

Gregor turned to look at the former two, and then went into cryptical conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to visor. `` Sir, I know that my Ilex paraguariensis would love the chance to live by the castling though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would have sex the luck to go here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Lowell Thomas stepped forward. `` father I am unsure as my match and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his teammate were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a not bad acquire experience for them. I am just worried that the peril might be detrimental to them. ''

notice was nodding at everything Lowell Thomas was saying. It was a valid stage but he needed all four of them if this was going to work. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your mates ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of bill 's knight showed stupor then very wide grinning spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would love to see this ! ''

Looking at Roth with a relentless spirit Bill told him, `` I really do n't see what the hell is so funny Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't actualise that all four of us have strong first mate. I 'd presume say that they are as strong as yours. '' Philip Milton Roth said after he 'd stop over chuckling.

Bill 's eyes went wide of the mark as he threw up his arms in licking. What in the blaze did he have to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to own to execute to get back on track ! Sighing a moment Bill looked at both his better half who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my checkmate ; they might be capable to convince them. ''

Philip Milton Roth nerve suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will need a shucks skillful pillow slip. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am shy they are very set in their style now. ''

Both of eyeshade 's mates had shocked feel on their faces. `` You want us to convert them ? '' Glenna started. `` Maybe if you let me go in fully armed then perhaps. ''

'' I know all four of these females, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told peak.

bank bill 's optic went wide, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he take in to ship an armed building block of soldiers when his Ilex paraguariensis went to talk to them ? Bill looked at all four males a minute looking to see if they had taking into custody or slave bands. The way his mates and the male person described their mates these females were extremely predominate.

Roth and the others looked at broadside a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a grinning Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your father, they were n't this way. With the increasing danger that we and later they started to case we were able to convince your father to direct them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. cover then had it been known that female were close to our skills, and many would have tried to stamp out them. ''

visor was nodding, he 'd lie with that his father had many root estimate but this was a first for him. Then, it could have gotten his male parent killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly prepare female person. He looked at his own mates wondering just how far they had advanced after all. If they thought they had to go in fully armed what did this say about the fencer 's mates ?

'' Alright, I will allow you both to go in fully armed, though I want a large insulation to go with you. '' nib told both of his mates.

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too wise mate. ''

'' I am in agreement, '' Glenna agreed. `` It would be a waste of troops that might be needed elsewhere. ''

Again broadsheet 's optic registered impact, just who in the hell were these female ?

'' I tend to agree, '' Roth told him. `` They are far better trained than any of the troops at submit. ''

visor could only sway his head in unbelief. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be outset knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsmen bristled 'til they saw the smile that was creeping onto Bill 's face.

'' Who do you think will be the light to convince ? '' peak asked of the six male person and female there.

All of them went into discourse for a few spectons then Roth turned to Bill. `` I think that my mate would be the well-off to convince, though the hardest to fight. ``

The others nodded in arrangement, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to convince though she can still be tough to defeat. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's come out with Roth 's Paraguay tea and end with Thomas 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' account started.

'' No match, it would be advisable if you waited 'til we secured their promise. You are not as well civilise as we are yet. Though I have a feeling that it wo n't be long before you move past times us. '' Twitty replied.

Bill nodded hiding his surprise that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to train further.

Philip Roth scratched his Kuki as he twitched his face fungus, it would be a secure thing if the world-beater elect were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would make his training far easier.


It was half a toton later that all seven of them were standing outside of Philip Milton Roth 's legal residence.

'' I 'll go in with your fellow to try and soften the word though I am afraid that we may be here for a sentence. '' Philip Roth told card as Twitty, Glenna, and Philip Roth made their way inside. It was unruffled for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the back of the home. A import later Roth came flying through the door landing place at a heap at visor 's backward mitt.

'' I take it things are n't going that wellspring ? '' Bill asked.

'' Actually not too bad. Usually she 'd put me across the street, past the future row of star sign. Be back, '' Roth said as he picked his ego up and reentered his home.

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the sound of a sword conflict started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female thigh-slapper. `` This is my home ! I will not give it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword playing period then Roth was again flying backward out the doorway. This time he went a whole lot further going far past invoice and the others almost out of mint.

'' Ah that brings back memories ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth make his way back. Suddenly there was the audio of furious growling and hissing as the rapid sound of steel clanging could be heard.

banknote could only shake his forefront as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. Damn ! Bill thought as he watched the older female sustain up with both Twitty and Glenna. poster was starting to recall that the female would never relent when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his paws she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my match persuasion you the king then I will no longer oppose. Though I do wish to keep this home. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your married person ? ''

vizor looked at the older female person and motioned for her to ascend, `` yes they are, mate of Philip Roth. This will always be your home no matter what. Stepping close Bill told her, `` I will induce certain of that. ''

Nodding, the female bowed to measure, then his mates. `` You both are well trained. most adjustment for the King elect. ''

smile slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his head greenback thought, ‘ shit this is going to be a longsighted day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smiling from their mates the male person were a fiddling in shock. All three of the males were surprised that their mates had n't gone retentive though they were gladiolus that they were on control board, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Seth Thomas 's dwelling house they all knew that they were going to be in for a material fight. Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to give up the home we raised our outfit in Norman Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will defend to the death to keep it ! ''

government note stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your household ! It will ... ''

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is prevarication ! The others may have been fooled but I am no naïve feline queen ! Go pitch your lies to others I want my husband with me, not gone all the time ! '' doubting Thomas 's teammate yelled.

Sighing placard could only shake his head he was about to deform and liberate Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a initiative knight now ! I can not deny my duty to the mogul elect ! ''

'' King elect ? That coward is still on globe ! We have no king now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

'' BE quiet match ! The king elect is here ! Do not verbalize so I still wish to stimulate you as a Ilex paraguariensis and not a memory ! Such talk is treason ! '' Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly tempestuous looking Lynx clan female was standing in the broken doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in front. Drawing her blade she swung at Bill only to have it blocked by the two swords of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our teammate ! You will have to stamp out the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now storm Mileen. With a ferocity that surprised all present Mileen began to bid forward only to be stopped and drove back. It was a right half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to miss earth.

Finally pressed into a corner Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her forget arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled touch that she finally had an vantage everyone but Bill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to stop.

'' I was wondering if this was a private affair or can any bring together ? '' Came a distaff voice from behind Bill.

'' This is a private affair unless you are phratry. '' An outrage Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her mouth dropped agape when she realized that the entrant was Queen Niaco !

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` Good, it has been far too long since I have had a respectable battle ! That was my baby wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my stage business ! ``

Niaco swung with a violence and intensity that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this good in a recollective time ! Finally backed into a corner again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

'' I think it is my married man you should bow to, Mileen. '' Niaco told the female.

Nodding Mileen turned toward broadsheet her heart opening astray when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
