Bill 's eyes went across-the-board as he walked to doubting Thomas 's match. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little uncertain as he grasp the female person Lynx 's side tilting it upward to stare into her optic. `` By the bully felid ! It is you ! ''

teardrop started to accrue from Mileen 's optic as she nodded and hugged bank bill tightly. `` I lost track of you after I left the palace all those long time ago. wellspring, 'til I heard that you had left and went to hold up on that primitive mud testicle. Is it rightful that they do not trace there at all ? How do they survive ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the thought.

Releasing her Bill replied, `` They do a great many strange things there. Had it not been for the mind shield I might cause gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their creation is nothing like ours that is for certain. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with extensive eyed wonder and gape back talk at the familiarity between the two. Thomas of course was the most floor, he 'd no idea that his better half had known the Rex elect recollective before now. `` Uh ... '' Thomas tried to protrude. `` Alright I am at a complete departure mate. You both know each other ? ''

Mileen took her mates face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes mate, when he was still an older kit. For a unretentive fourth dimension after his mother had passed, I was his comrade you might say. A few calendar month after this I met you, with a Paraguay tea I was no longer able to attend to Saint Ambrose. ''

'' Until I am crowned I prefer that you refer to me by my earth name. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the time being I am simply Bill, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Roth walked up a huge smile on his face, `` I still think that you should go through with the enthronement. ''
measure was nodding a moment then he walked past Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. throwaway also noticed that Niaco was doing a damn delicately field dressing on Twitty 's exit arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask Queen Niaco, why are you here placing yourself in danger. '' peak asked stupefy.

Niaco smirked then turned back to Twitty when she gasped because Niaco had drawn the dressing too tight. `` As you can see baron elect, I am no watery female that you can dissolve. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each other. I 'm sure that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` higher-up power would easily overcome me. ''

Bill growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at banker's bill 's manus. `` I do not notice your levity at this office or that of your safe humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, measure softened quickly when she did not actuate and bowed her point.

'' My apologies king elect I can not take much more of being locked away in that stead. I have yearned for the open skies and land. Please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the cobbler's last part whispered so low that only broadsheet heard it.

Giving Niaco another stern hard aspect he said, `` Arise queen mole rat Niaco, mate. ''

uprising, her head still bowed, a easy smile started to spread across her human face. `` Thank you king elite. To serve your end query I had to come, it appears that the outer system planets are trying to declare Independence. Unless they gain accompaniment from the Billie Jean King they intend to be a dissever index in half a daycon. ''

"darn it !"Bill growled at the opinion that the outer system of rules planets were forcing his hired hand so soon. `` I take it they were suspicious about many of the recent decision you made ? '' Bill asked.

Niaco was nodding then she quietly stated, `` They almost went as far as accusing you of hiding behind me to get matter done. There was a gossip from one world in particular. They said that the power chosen was afraid to take bearing. Much as he had been afraid and went to obliterate on earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this stopping point input was really going to piss vizor off to no end.

hollo in anger Bill turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strength of Bill when he was angered and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` okay ! Damn it ! Have them ready for my enthronisation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to demolish this rebellion before it starts. The fool have become emboldened with the absence seizure of a king ! ''

Snatching his com off his swath he bellowed to Mikos to festinate his furry ass up, they had a coronation tonight !

'' I 'll need a hell of a lot more personnel sir, if we are to finish on sentence. At present we only have the king 's chambers and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! triple the telephone number ! We need the castle clear as soon as possible ! '' notice was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may leave central a small lean. '' Mikos replied.

'' Lock it the Hades down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all clear ! '' Bill spit out now completely disgusted that he had to arrogate command as soon as he was.

'' Yes sir ! '' Mikos snapped out then disconnected to carry out his orders.

Whirling invoice walked to Roth, `` You can quit your damn smiling Roth ! I am not happy at all with affair progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, Bill said, `` Have an armed bodyguard go with Niaco and retrieve her belongings. I want everything trio scanned before it is allowed in the castle. ''

Roth 's back talk dropped open up, triple scanned ! `` Are you sure sir ? Wo n't the Queen get upset with this handling ? ''

'' 'Til the danger is past tense EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the castle. '' Bill growled out.

Philip Milton Roth nodded his promontory actually that made a hell of a lot of sense. They were just starting to weed out all the traitors. Yes, it made perfective horse sense.



In a castle like building one c hecksons away Bill 's uncle Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski was pacing. What a sap and idiot his asinine sidekick had been. Caught and executed like a rough-cut thief ! That bastard son of King Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the stately family line name like that !

An aid got a little too close as Conrad raged about the way and was soon flying backward through a wall from a swipe of Conrad 's paw. There had to be something that he could do to remove that bastard permanently ! Pacing a few more moment Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil smile dominating his feature film.

'' Call the Ocicat tribe ! I believe they still have a debt of dying they owe that cocksucker. Plus they still owe me a ancestry swearing for restoring their base. I intend to gather on it, unlike the other bravo guilds they NEVER miss ! '' An malign laugh escaped his pharynx as his com technical school made the necessity link.

It was various hours later when there was an answer to his call. A raspy voice came from the speakers. `` Who are you to call for the service of process of the Ocicat clan ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be suddenly within a quarter toton if your answer does not gratify us ! ''

Conrad stopped pacing his eyes narrowing at the threat the voice had just issued. `` One would think that your organization and kin group would already know who this is ! '' Conrad spit with venom.

'' overlord Nox, '' The voice replied. `` To what pleasure do we let hearing from you ? '' The voice said suddenly softening.

'' The Ocicat clan owes a parentage oath to me for the restoration of their ancestral home. I intend to take in upon that parentage cuss. I suggest you remember that the next time I call you ! I am in demand of the services of your clan professionally. '' Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski said a suggestion of delight in his vocalization.

'' For the blood oath we are at your religious service. How may we help you to reward the origin expletive ? '' The voice asked.

'' I need you to decimate that bastard Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the king elect. If he ascends to the throne it will be even harder to get to him. I am the true king, therefore eliminate him and your clan will be more than rewarded. There are several thousand tetsons of state around yours. If I am king I am sure that quite a few hundred of those tetsons would suddenly be awarded to your clan as a thanks. '' Conrad said though his words did n't appear to gestate much emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by ripe nobles than you. Know this ; if perfidy is a division of this deal then your destruction will be extremely slow and dreadful. '' The voice responded.

Conrad chuckled a instant he knew they were all bluster as long as he still held the ownership to their ground. No, they would n't piss a move on him. Smiling an malevolent smiling he thought they were his to command as long as he held control of their land. Besides he thought even assassin were vulnerable to arm fire !

The leader of the Ocicat kin grimly shook his head ; there was cipher but deceit behind that one's words. Sighing they had no choice at present. His spy had worked for a almost half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal clan male. Still they had n't received any word of where the possession newspaper were. The leader feared that the spy had been captured at one stop. Then two daycons later they reported in they were still searching.

The leader had to resolve who would go on this foreign mission. They had the estimable assassin on the major planet. Even the Jaguar clan was still behind them though as the drawing card had seen they were closing the gap rather quickly. Calling his best two Orcinus orca he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near death.

Both combatants came in and bowed to the leader then took a stance against each former. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each other starting with thrown artillery. Both failing that, they pulled short swords as they again advanced slashing and poking. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the other on the arm ripping a slice in it.

Undaunted the heavier scrapper moved to foresee onset only to be rebuffed and labor to the wall. A short brand at the throat and a sticker across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the toilsome combatant opened their arms to await death that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the floor with the hilt of the sword effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

obeisance to the leader the male nodded as the victor removed their head and font covering. `` You are the winner ; you therefore are awarded the commission. '' As the natural covering came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not fail you or the clan. If I do I shall accept the consequences of that bankruptcy. '' The female person told the leader.

'' I realize this daughter though with the gruffness of the kin group, all will be accepted back, nonstarter or not. '' Sighing the leader went on to explain at the questioning look on her face. `` We have lost many in the terminal four quants. You are the last of the leader nipper. If the clan loses you, then the clan will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a loser, the clan extremity will not be killed but teach the others of their failure so that it will not happen again. ''

'' Father ? What of the honor of the kindred ? '' The female asked.

'' The honor of the kin is a very fine affair indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are utter then what of the honor would outlast ? '' The leader asked the wide eyeball female.

bow the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not intend to fail. I will kill the one that is the assignment and yield. Soon we shall have all our earth returned to us. ''

The leader watched as his daughter left for her mission. You are so naïve my daughter, even if we kill this top executive elect I fear that we will never be gratis of the one that held their soil.



broadsheet watched as Mikos and at least fifty others left the castle. In all they had found well over twoscore thousand devices. Bill could only shake his head the measure of fourth dimension all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a minute later a tired, wide grin on his human face. `` We ran two fork sweeps with two gang. We got at least ninety nine percent of them. It will ask a concentrated CAT scan to get the rest but I think we made it a netherworld of a lot safer than it was. ''

handbill nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux clan were nothing if not thorough. `` I know you have done an exceeding job. '' posting smiled as the unseasoned police officer snapped off a military greeting.

Roth walked up a moment later as Mikos gave his composition apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The work you did Lieutenant Colonel has made the Palace and telephone exchange the safe places on the planet right now. ''

Bill smiled as he looked on while Mikos finished giving his report. Turning toward government note Mikos saluted, `` I will take back soon to take out the eternal rest of them sir. ''

'' You made a sovereign endeavor Colonel, I ca n't ask for Thomas More than that. '' pecker said as he watched first Roth 's then Mikos optic grew panoptic in surprisal.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a looking of wonder in his eyes.

'' I just care I had more officers like the two of you. '' invoice told both of them.

Mikos gulped as he saluted neb again then stopped a moment. `` Uh ... sir ? ``

'' Yes Colonel, is there a problem ? '' banknote asked Mikos wondering what was up.

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about sergeant-at-law offset course Theta. '' Mikos started.

Bill turned more toward Mikos trying to estimate out where this was going. `` Yes ? What about her ? ''

'' fountainhead sir, I am of social station now that I may study a second wife. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you care to take her as your second. Are you needing my permission, '' broadsheet asked.

'' No sir, though that would be fantastic it is n't that simple. '' Mikos said quietly.

Confused a mo note looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the nether region am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to carry, is that since he is an officeholder, he ca n't take her as a mate. Is that about it Mikos ? '' Roth asked.

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to take her as a Paraguay tea I can not upgrade her. I knew that the full general does n't usually take up care of these things. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the hell form of shit are you two talking about ? '' Bill asked confused now.

'' It is simple ruler of the military machine sir. An enlisted can not nor will not engage in becoming a mate with an police officer. '' Roth explained.

'' That 's the biggest freight of bullshit I 've ever heard. '' Bill told both of them.

Philip Roth sighed how could he excuse it to a non military mind ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one clip this was allowed a very, very tenacious time ago. The distraction proved to be far too much press on the both of them. It even became so detrimental that immense turn of police officer were lost in a short time as were their Paraguay tea. This normal was instated to dissuade that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to cause her an officer ? Why did n't you say that in the maiden shit office ! God ! This going around the long way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the male person before him Bill warned. `` This had better be the last sentence. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the clip for secret plan ! ''

A huge grin lit up Mikos face when Bill finished his cobbler's last statement. Then he stood back when Philip Milton Roth gave him a look.

'' Sir making her an policeman is all OK and well but is she ready ? '' Roth asked a concern smell on his facial expression. `` You know sir you could make her the lowest officer 'til you felt she was ready for higher command responsibleness. ''

throwaway thought a moment then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the lowest rank of officer ? '' note asked unable to think of a rank lower than second deputy.

'' That sir would be a stock-purchase warrant policeman. It is usually reserved for higher ranking enlisted that are made officers not unlike you are making her one. '' Roth said a look of relief coming to his fount.

'' Alright, pull in her this warrant officer, and then you can hold her as a mate. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a fop. '' handbill said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

'' Thank you sir, I am confident that she will. I have much to offer her and her kin. I do n't foreknow a trouble. '' Mikos replied.

Both Roth and notice shook their head teacher, god ! They had both forgotten the confidence and stupidity of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't imagine you have had very often. ''

Mikos could only stare at both of the males as they all made their way to telephone exchange. Snapping out his com Bill called ahead. visor was even more surprised when he saw it was Theta that answered.

'' Hello sir. We have been awaiting the all clear. '' She stated, visor could see that she looked tired almost as tired as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to secure central.

'' You have the all vindicated for now. We will be returning within a few here and now. I am appreciative of all the work that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' Bill told her trying to gauge her reaction through her wear look.

'' Oh good ! Finally he can do far more than than he was able to. thank you sir, with him as a Colonel now things should get only better here. '' Theta told him.

'' I 'm glad that you feel that way I also feel that he and you are both doing all that needs to be done to secure bid. I am glad that I have personnel such as you two, endorsement officer Theta. Keep up the honest piece of work ! '' circular finished as they had entered command and was now in the elbow room with her.

Turning, her mouth hanging spread out what happened next caught her even more off safety. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my second mate, to adhesiveness our kin group together. ''

Theta tried to speak but nothing was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too lots ! Turning to Bill she started to give thanks him but only managed to get out, `` Sir I than ... '' The strain of working as long as she had, and the lack of sopor and now all of this hit her at once. Then the world was spinning as she felt Mikos weaponry go around her as everything went smuggled .
