Bill looked at the General for a few moments. `` Yeah you and everybody else within the realm that still have a shred of decency. Remember Roth, I am not my sidekick ; we tried it his way and reckon what it got us. No this meter we do it my way ! As you well roll in the hay that will involve a perdition of a lot of blood ! ''

The full general 's brass was concerned a bit then he began to smile broadly. `` Good ! It 's about time we returned to the land we were during your Father of the Church 's sovereignty ! Lord knows none of this political crap would make been going on. Do n't get me wrongly I loved your blood brother and faithfully served him and the crown. It was just that his insurance policy came at a prison term when the kingdom was still unstable after your Fatherhood passed. ''

'' I know old booster, I miss him fiercely also. '' nib said, a moment of sadness showing on his face. `` I remember when I was younger. The battle the land had, to try and domesticate the wolf planets. I intend to re-unite all the worlds like he had. This kingdom was enceinte in his day and I intend to make it that way again ! I also intend to not let the planets be lost to the madness of isolation again ! ''

general Philip Roth sighed, and then his case brightened. `` I was right ! You are much like your male parent, with a touch sensation of your brother in you. ''

Bill 's head snapped around to stare at the full general, `` I fail to see where you think I am a skin senses like my buddy ! ''

Smiling the General said, `` Had it been your Fatherhood no thing what, he 'd have ripped the chest of both those you employed to scintilla. No I think you are a lot like your father but I also think you are far more well-informed. It appears that you do not allow the felid side of our make up to completely predominate your mentation. ''

'' I thank you for the compliment Roth. '' Here Bill stared at the full general 's typeface a moment. `` At to the lowest degree I think it 's a compliment. I hope I do n't repent not correcting you later Roth ! '' Then with a suspiration Bill shook his head. `` I have a foresightful and difficult road ahead. I am afraid I am going to be leaning on your experience more than than I had at get-go thought. ''

The superior general 's boldness was suddenly shining with pride. `` I live to suffice the crown and the king. I have been serving this royal family a tenacious fourth dimension and promise to continue to for some time still. As always it is a smashing award to serve. ''

A vast smile lit up Bill 's typeface as a persuasion came to him. `` You know, there have n't been any knights in the realm in a recollective time. '' The general 's face showed a sudden lugubriousness at the idea. `` I think that after I am crowned I should correct that. What do you think General ? ''

General Roth thought a moment, `` I think that would be a splendid idea ! As you said it has been far too prospicient since there were any. Do you take in any candidates in mind sir ? ''

Bill got a serious look on his face thinking a mo then he turned to the General. `` As a matter of fact I do, actually only four at the present moment. ''

'' Only four, '' The worldwide asked a wary look coming to his human face.

'' Oh yes ! '' banker's bill said a vex look on his font. `` Though at the moment I only know the fix of one of them. I believe with their help we could debar the collapse of the region. ''

The General was nodding his assent but was still looking at card with suspicion. `` Yes I agree if such as you said exist. So just pray tell, who are these astound four somebody ? ``

'' Why full general Philip Roth, '' bank note said a across-the-board smiling coming to his expression. `` I thought it was obvious ! ''

'' Forgive me sir I must be getting old, may I have the gens of these amazing four that I may contact them ? '' Roth said still a trivial suspicious.

'' I believe you remember my father 's old elite guard ? '' Bill said.

'' Yes sir, considering I was a fellow member of them ! '' The world-wide said slowly.

'' I intend to knight all four of you ! As of right now you are the only when single I consider to be of a trustworthy character. '' Bill said as he turned as he no longer discover the cosmopolitan following him.

General Philip Milton Roth was standing stock still a look on skepticism on his side. `` Sir ! This is an laurels that I can not accept. I do n't reckon any of the others will neither. To be a horse of the crown ... '' Roth was unable to displace the jar of bank note 's discussion still ringing through his intellect.

Sighing Bill walked back to Philip Roth, `` You four are the lone ace that I feel that I can truly trust. wellspring the deputy Colonel and my mates plus you four. That 's not much of a résumé for success. I need all of you if I am going to stick awake and re-unite the land. ''

Both Glenna and Twitty who had remained lull and on safety both were now smiling. `` Was there any uncertainty of our commitment ? '' Glenna said appearing to be hurt.

'' Really Bill after what I have been through protecting you ? You insult me and my Sister match ! If you would like to see a exam of her or my resolve then I suggest you try to stop us ! '' Twitty said as they both began to stalk toward neb.

A very wide grin appeared on broadside 's human face as he held up his fur covered paw. `` I would never doubt either of you ! '' government note purred toward both his mates.

Twitty and Glenna both smiled as they began to lick Bill 's face, both of them also purring. `` It is right married person ; it would n't do to have you injured and ineffective to perform your husbandly duty ! '' Twitty said as she rubbed her face against notice 's.

'' Yes, I for one would have to do engagement with my sis mate for the award of being with you first ! Do not get hurt or killed ; it would greatly displease the both of us ! Then I think that we might also have to injure you ! '' Glenna said as she smiled at Twitty in all seriousness.

Bill 's eyes went wide ; it had been a long time since he 'd been place. He 'd forgotten just how tearing a Xendran female felt about her mate. The bare fact that she would wipe out another or die trying that tried to steal her Paraguay tea. In his case he had two mates, not terra incognita to be practiced by the royal family. Snapping his finger he remembered he had to find his comrade 's wife.

Turning he looked at Philip Roth, `` I just remembered Roth. Is my brother 's wife Niaco still alive ? I must talk to her before I ascend the throne. ''

'' I figured as a great deal. Yes sir, she is very much alive. Though she has n't all the power that your Brother had she is still trying to hold the realm 'til you ascend. '' Roth told him.

commodity I ... '' notice started.

'' match, '' Both Twitty and Glenna said as the fell to their human knee before him.

Glenna looked at Twitty who nodded then Glenna continued. `` We both know it is the customs to take your sidekick 's wife into the fellowship. We both knew her briefly, and we consider it an honor to welcome her into our mathematical group. Whether or not you take her as a spouse, she will be welcome ! ''

beak 's eyes opened wide-cut now THIS was an extremely pleasant surprise ! Though he was going to ask her to get together the family for tribute, at the consequence he had no real designs to take her as a mate. He also had met her, though she was a pleasant female she was by no means the type that he wanted as a life spouse.

'' I thank you both this will make things far easier when it comes time to ascend the throne. Though I wish to see her as soon as possible I think we need go after the double-crosser first. Is the one-third castle still under scan and reflexion ? '' Bill asked of Roth.

A slender but grim smiling crossed his lips as he replied, `` Yes sir, as of yet it appears that they are still waiting. ``

government note thought a moment ; it was obvious that his Uncles had access to the royal assault and battery. Scratching his Chin broadsheet thought they might have seriously upgraded their shield also. Turning to the superior general billhook told him, `` I want you to bring out the devastator ! ''

Both Twitty and Glenna gasp, though they had never seen it, they had heard of its power. Roth 's case went almost ashen White River. `` Sir, the last time your begetter used it he leveled an entire city ! ''

'' well ! Perhaps my hoot Uncle will be intimate that I am unplayful ! How many soldiery do you have now that we can trust ? '' Bill asked.

Sighing, the superior general pulled out a comp and looked. `` Not many I am afraid. At hold up numeration there were only ten thousand. ''

'' Yes, you 're rightfulness that 's not a lot with the effort that we are about to start. I am not really a fan of subterfuge. It always leaves a bad taste in my lip. It appears though that 'til we can fatten the social status, we may sustain to recur to it, though I am hoping that it is only for a short piece ! '' card spit out.

They were moving out of the city towards a piddling do it dugout when broadsheet 's communicator went off. Snatching it up Federal Reserve note clicked it on, `` report lieutenant Colonel ! ''

'' Sir ! I have successfully cleared primal command. I am in the procedure of filling the floater that were left undefended. '' Growling angrily the police lieutenant Colonel continued, `` it was almost half the of all responsibility work shift. Sir, those that were taken prisoner ? Suggestions ? ''

Here poster smiled it was fourth dimension to see just how devoted this officer was. `` Were they in on the plot to wipe out me, '' growled throwaway.

The deputy Colonel hissed and spat out, `` Yes sir, all but one of them ! I had all but the leader taken to the cells. ''

'' Let me see him, '' neb said. He then hissed when he saw the aged male Major on the screenland. `` This was one of the reasons I made you a high-pitched military officer. Execute him ! '' Bill hissed.

The Lieutenant Colonel smiled a twist around grinning and nodded. Turning he punched his clenched fist through the Male 's chest of drawers grabbing the male 's stick nerve and yanking it violently out. Bill smiled when the male screamed then dropped to the floor short. `` Done sir, with pleasance !

Bill smiled, his sense about the young ship's officer had been right. `` The relaxation, perform them also. The one that was n't involved, if there were n't any killing intent toward me then let go of them. If they were ordered to, then elevate them but have them swear loyalty and know that to let on it means an instant death sentence ! ''

'' Yes sir ! It will be as you say ! '' Turning the man barked out orders, `` Corporal, bring her up here now ! Have all that are in the cells executed now ! Any means necessary ! ``

beak watched as a beautiful Acinonyx jubatus clan female person was brought before the Lieutenant Colonel. `` It appears that you are being allowed to exist, for the moment ! ''

bow low when she saw that Bill was watching she replied, `` Thank you air force officer Mikos ; is that you King chosen. ''

'' Do you take the expletive of allegiance to the king elect ? '' Mikos growled out low.

With her capitulum still lowered she said, `` I would like zip sound than to sir ! ''

Bill smiled he was actually starting to care this female. Though she was strong she was also reverential, a hell of a lot more than most.

Bill spoke up before Mikos could. `` Do you, '' Bill looked to see that she was just a private. That was about to switch, if what he read was right she had disobeyed an order of magnitude from the male that Mikos had just killed. `` Do you serjeant Theta ; devote your every waking moment to the peachy good of the realm ? To answer your Rex and the citizenry as long as you may serve ? Do you swallow that to break out this trust means that an instant death penalisation will be placed on your straits ? ''

'' Yes I do your Lordship. I know that you are not crowned yet but I already think you the king sir ! '' Theta replied a look of growing pride on her face.

Mikos was amazed, he had thought she was a double-dealer and nothing but a treasonist. The mogul had a hell of am lot better sense of Xendrans than he ever would. The simple fact that the Rex elect considered her as worthy, as he did Mikos, spoke volumes to Mikos.

grinning Mikos looked at Theta closely for a import ; she was a handsome vernal female person. He was at a head now he could take a second mate. Thinking he nodded the Chartreux clan and the Cheetah kin had n't many association and there had only been one pairing in the last two hundred. As Mikos stroked his whiskers he thought yes it might do good both of their kinship group.

police sergeant Theta suddenly snapped her head up to stare at Bill. `` Did you just advertise me sir ? ''

Bill smiled a quirky smiling at her, `` I believe that me calling you sergeant does mean that. Now do n't protrude on this you do n't deserve it. I saw what you did for me and my mob. You could have been executed by the Major had he suspected that you were the one to induce the eruption to omit the ship ! '' At the sudden realization that Bill knew what she had done she just nodded her acquiescence.

'' You are the rightful heir to the stool. It was the only justly matter I could see to do ! '' Theta replied.

Bill nodded, `` I need far more like you in the new regime. nether region in the realm. I have a suggestion, if you know of more that feel like you do. fetch them to the attention of Mikos. Then he will ferret out any traitors. Those left I will sing to. It seems as good as I am at seeing hoi polloi for what they can be. Mikos is just as good at finding traitors. ''

'' It would be an honor to work on with you both sirs. '' Theta replied.

Something had been bugging poster though he could n't seem to get passed whatever was blocking his thought process. Suddenly throwaway sat up and snapped his fingers. `` Sergeant I am afraid that the social status I promoted you wo n't do. No I do n't recall many will listen to you. '' Here card was lost in thought a moment then said, `` Yes I think that will do far better ! Instead of a Sergeant let 's say we make you a Sergeant low Class, I think Sir Thomas More will mind to you now ! ''

Theta 's rima oris dropped subject it was only her duty, she had n't done it for payoff. It was just the right affair to do ! `` But ... but ... Sir ! That is a total of six rank and file I just jumped ! No one will take heed to a unseasoned female Sergeant First Class ! ''

'' So ... you are telling me, the king elect that, I am faulty ? '' Bill said a tiresome developing smiling starting to cringe on his back talk.

sergeant Theta snapped to attention, `` No sir I would never presume to do such a thing ! ''

'' Good, Mikos I want you and Theta to get more staff office in there as soon as possible. As of right now I am making it our armed combat central office. I feel the coming week will be bad. We need a lieu that is secure. As of rightfulness now this is the but place. Even the palace is n't safe though, '' here Bill scratched at his half human chin. `` I aim to switch that as soon as possible. ''

Clicking off Bill thought well at least I have a few that are trust desirable. `` We need to act soon sir. My tangency at the last rook we left are detecting movement towards the back. The devastator was moved while you were in discussion sir. It appears we are n't that far from the palace. '' The superior general told him, his Panthera pardus kinship group spots seeming to grow a slight brighter at the view of the coming fight.

banker's bill nodded as they climbed into the Saami transport and headed off for the castle. Within minute of arc they were landing beside the immense energy canon. Bill smiled when he saw that it had been kept in such good cast,

'' Alright, viewpoint by everyone I have a feel we are about to use it ! '' Opening up a line Bill stated. `` To those in rook Trong, you have two spectons to surrender the two-timer, my Uncle before I destroy your pathetic defenses. If you do I will dispense with all there and get out you to your liveliness. ''

There was a hoot of static as a familiar vox came out of the com. `` I doubt you have the guts to do anything you minuscule bastard ! ''

'' Ah ! I thought it was your putrid scent I smelled when I was hunting ! Surrender you son of a cunt ! '' Bill growled.

'' You are the son of a gripe ! That lady of pleasure of a female that your Church Father took to his bed ! What you are is far below me and my brother of reliable royal stag blood line ! '' Bill 's Uncle hissed at him.

Bill smiled ; he 'd learn this before More than he wanted to admit. His father had taken a spouse from one of the outer world of the realm. She was a princess on one of the last cosmos that had joined with the kingdom. She had taken many contumely before his father has stopped that with a few high ranking execution.

A smile crept upon his rim he barely remembered her. He 'd loved the narrative his older brother used to treat him with about her. Suddenly he snapped out of his visit to the past. `` wellspring Uncle, I may be beneath you in your detestable point of opinion, but I am future for the throne and as such I have had you declared a traitor. devote it up before I destroy you and all that are there ! ''

'' Ha, '' came the defiant yell of his Uncle.

'' Fine Uncle. If you will turn your scanners this way out front. You 'll see I have the devastator cannon. I have it already primed and should be ready to destroy your shields in a second. What ? No fresh retort ? '' Bill snarled.

'' You would n't dare use it you do n't accept the bowel to ... '' his uncle spit back at him.

Clenching his mitt, his hook springing forth many were backing away as Bill roared. `` I am tired of the Trygve Halvden Lie that you and your brother have been spreading ! Fire the blame affair ! '' notice roared even louder.

There was a low whine then a sudden buzzing with the smell of ozone as the machine discharged. As the energy blast hit the shield you could see them fight to snub. A sudden blowup below the ground had Bill smiling that would be the independent source. `` Another sir, '' the superior general asked with a grin.

'' one-half baron ! ingest out the intact front end wall ! '' Bill shouted as there was another lower whine then the sense of smell of ozone as the arm discharged and took out 500 meters of the front wall. Clicking on the com bill growled menacingly, `` Well you son of a bitch ! ? Are you coming out or do I have to completely destroy this place ? If you do I suggest you bring no weapon. I have a k scout troop waiting with a need to bolt down something. You have a specton ! ''

There was a minute there that beak thought they were going to have to conflict it out. Then several males were bringing another previous male tied up, out through the hole in the wall. The finisher they got the louder the tied up male was complaining. `` Let me go damn it ! He is a weak pathetic fool."Stopping in nominal head of measure they threw the male on the ground at Bill 's feet.

'' We have brought the traitor, we wish to return. We want no portion in this or with him. '' A youthful tabby male told circular.

'' You may go and fix ; I hold no spite against you or yours. Though I might ask you to aid the realm. Can I count on the clans here ? '' throwaway asked the four male person in movement of him.

'' Are you this king chosen that this one was speaking of ? The weak minded fool ? I 'd say sir you are neither of those. '' All four males got down on a knee joint. `` Yes king elect, you can bet on our clans. If as you say you will impart us to our biography then we will owe you a debt. '' All four nodded as did Bill then they arose and began the way back to the castle.

'' Really sir, '' the General started. `` You really think that wise ? ''

'' Yes I do, I left them to live not to die. I told them if they turned him over I would. I keep my word I feel that one 's word is more sacred than anything. '' broadside told an astounded full general.

'' Your Holy Writ ! You are zilch ! Nothing but the son of a cyprian ... '' Bill 's Uncle started then found it hard to verbalize hanging in the air with visor 's paw around his throat. A huge smile came to Bill 's face, `` careful Uncle Cornelius I might be tempted to down you quick if you keep this up ! ''

'' You have n't the ... '' posting 's Uncle started as Bill began to crush harder 'til Cornelius 's head flopped to one side.

'' Ah ! Blessed quiet. '' Throwing his uncle into the transport Bill told them, `` bring this firearm of garbage to a cell in command. ''
