Bill 's eyes went wide as he walked to Thomas 's mate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little uncertain as he grasp the female lynx 's face tilting it upwardly to stare into her eyes. `` By the not bad felid ! It is you ! ''

Tears started to fall from Mileen 's optic as she nodded and hugged eyeshade tightly. `` I lost runway of you after I left the palace all those class ago. well, 'til I heard that you had left and went to live on that naive mud ball. Is it true that they do not hunt there at all ? How do they survive ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the idea.

Releasing her Bill replied, `` They do a groovy many strange matter there. Had it not been for the judgment shield I might have gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their globe is nothing like ours that is for sure. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with broad eyed curiosity and goggle backtalk at the impropriety between the two. Thomas the doubting Apostle of path was the most offend, he 'd no idea that his mate had known the king elect farsighted before now. `` Uh ... '' Thomas tried to set forth. `` Alright I am at a complete loss mate. You both know each other ? ''

Mileen took her Ilex paraguariensis face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes married person, when he was still an aged kit. For a short meter after his female parent had passed, I was his companion you might say. A few calendar month after this I met you, with a mate I was no longer capable to attend to 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 neb, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Philip Milton Roth walked up a Brobdingnagian grinning on his expression, `` I still think that you should go through with the enthronement. ''
Bill was nodding a instant then he walked retiring Philip Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. Bill also noticed that Niaco was doing a red cent fine field dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask poof Niaco, why are you here placing yourself in danger. '' Bill asked perplexed.

Niaco smirked then turned back to Twitty when she gasped because Niaco had drawn the dressing too closely. `` As you can see B. B. King elect, I am no weak female that you can dismiss. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each other. I 'm sure that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` superior ability would easily overtake me. ''

banknote growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at placard 's paws. `` I do not feel your levity at this situation or that of your safety device humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the berm, Bill softened quickly when she did not go and bowed her head.

'' My apology king elect I can not lead much more than of being locked away in that home. I have yearned for the undefendable skies and commonwealth. delight forgive this one. '' Niaco said the conclusion part whispered so low that only vizor heard it.

Giving Niaco another bum heavy look he said, `` Arise Queen Niaco, mate. ''

ascension, her pass still bowed, a irksome smile started to distribute across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To respond your last query I had to derive, it appears that the outer system planet are trying to declare independence. Unless they gain support from the king they intend to be a separate power in half a daycon. ''

"shucks it !"Bill growled at the thought that the outer system planets were forcing his handwriting so soon. `` I take it they were suspect about many of the recent determination 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 things done. There was a input from one human beings in exceptional. They said that the king elect was afraid to take complaint. Much as he had been afraid and went to obliterate on Earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this last gossip was really going to piss Bill off to no end.

holla in anger circular turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strength of placard when he was maddened and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` Alright ! Damn it ! feature them prepare for my enthronisation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to squeeze this insurrection before it starts. The fools have become emboldened with the absence of a magnate ! ''

Snatching his com off his smash he bellowed to Mikos to look sharp his furry ass up, they had a coronation tonight !

'' I 'll necessitate a blaze of a lot Thomas More staff office sir, if we are to end up on time. At present we only have the king 's chambers and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! Triple the issue ! We need the palace clear as soon as possible ! '' beak was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may pull up stakes central a little lean. '' Mikos replied.

'' lock chamber 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 strike bidding as soon as he was.

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

Whirling nib walked to Roth, `` You can quit your damn smiling Philip Roth ! I am not glad at all with things progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, Bill said, `` Have an armed accompaniment go with Niaco and retrieve her belongings. I want everything triple scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Roth 's sassing dropped undefendable, triple scanned ! `` Are you trusted sir ? Wo n't the Queen get upset with this treatment ? ''

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

Roth nodded his head actually that made a the pits of a lot of horse sense. They were just starting to weed out all the traitors. Yes, it made pure sense.



In a castle like building one hundred hecksons away Bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a tomfool and idiot his asinine Brother had been. Caught and executed like a rough-cut thief ! That bastard son of King Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the noble family figure like that !

An aid got a little too close as Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski raged about the way and was soon flying backward through a paries from a swipe of Conrad 's paw. There had to be something that he could do to remove that SOB permanently ! Pacing a few more minutes Joseph Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil smile dominating his characteristic.

'' Call the Ocicat clan ! I believe they still have a debt of dying they owe that bastard. Plus they still owe me a roue oath for restoring their home. I intend to garner on it, unlike the early bravo guilds they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his pharynx as his com tech made the necessary connections.

It was various hours later when there was an response to his call. A raspy interpreter came from the speakers. `` Who are you to need the services of the Ocicat kinship group ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be abruptly within a quarter toton if your answer does not fill us ! ''

Conrad stopped pacing his eye narrowing at the threat the articulation had just issued. `` One would think that your organization and clan would already know who this is ! '' Conrad spitting with venom.

'' Lord Nox, '' The vocalization replied. `` To what delight do we cause hearing from you ? '' The articulation said suddenly softening.

'' The Ocicat clan owes a stemma oath to me for the refurbishment of their patrimonial rest home. I intend to accumulate upon that blood oath. I suggest you remember that the next clip I call you ! I am in pauperism of the services of your kin professionally. '' Joseph Conrad said a soupcon of delectation in his voice.

'' For the blood oath we are at your inspection and repair. How may we serve up you to come back the blood expletive ? '' The spokesperson asked.

'' I need you to eliminate that by-blow 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 rightful king, therefore annihilate him and your kinship group will be more than rewarded. There are several thousand tetsons of land 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 language did n't seem to convey practically emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by estimable nobleman than you. have sex this ; if betrayal is a part of this lot then your decease will be extremely slow and painful. '' The voice responded.

Conrad chuckled a moment he knew they were all bluster as long as he still held the ownership to their land. No, they would n't cause a motility on him. Smiling an evil grin he thought they were his to command as long as he held mastery of their land. Besides he thought even bravo were vulnerable to weapons fire !

The loss leader of the Ocicat kinship group grimly shook his fountainhead ; there was cypher but misrepresentation behind that one's words. Sighing they had no choice at present tense. His spy had worked for a almost half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal kin group male. Still they had n't received any word of where the ownership document were. The leader feared that the spy had been captured at one point. Then two daycons later they reported in they were still searching.

The leader had to resolve who would go on this mission. They had the best bravo on the satellite. 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 killers he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near expiry.

Both fighter came in and bowed to the loss leader then took a stance against each other. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each other starting with thrown artillery. Both failing that, they pulled shortsighted brand as they again advanced slashing and thrusting. 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 combatant moved to counter attack only to be rebuffed and drove to the wall. A short sword at the pharynx and a obelisk across the midriff finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the heavy combatant opened their arms to expect destruction that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the floor with the hilt of the blade effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

obeisance to the leader the male nodded as the victor removed their head word and brass covering. `` You are the master ; you therefore are awarded the mission. '' As the covert came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not run out you or the clan. If I do I shall swallow the moment of that nonstarter. '' The female told the leader.

'' I realize this daughter though with the shortness of the clan, all will be accepted back, unsuccessful person or not. '' Sighing the leader went on to explain at the questioning facial expression on her typeface. `` We have lost many in the last four quants. You are the go of the loss leader youngster. If the clan loses you, then the clan will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a failure, the clan appendage will not be killed but teach the others of their failure so that it will not come about again. ''

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

'' The honor of the clan is a very fine thing indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are perfectly then what of the honor would make it ? '' The leader asked the wide eyeball female person.

Bowing the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not intend to fail. I will kill the one that is the appointment and riposte. Soon we shall induce all our estate returned to us. ''

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



placard watched as Mikos and at least 50 others left the palace. In all they had found well over forty thousand devices. Bill could only throw off his head the sum of money of sentence all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a moment later a tired, wide smile on his face. `` We ran two separate sweep oar with two gang. We got at to the lowest degree ninety nine pct of them. It will take a decoct CAT scan to get the respite but I think we made it a hell of a lot secure than it was. ''

circular nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux tribe were nix if not thoroughgoing. `` I know you have done an olympian job. '' placard smiled as the Brigham Young ship's officer snapped off a salutation.

Roth walked up a moment later as Mikos gave his report apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The work you did deputy Colonel has made the Palace and Central the safest office on the major planet right now. ''

Bill smiled as he looked on while Mikos finished giving his report. Turning toward Bill Mikos saluted, `` I will return soon to extract the rest of them sir. ''

'' You made a supreme travail Colonel, I ca n't ask for more than than that. '' government note said as he watched first Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew wide in surprise.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a smell of wonder in his center.

'' I just wish I had more officers like the two of you. '' banker's bill told both of them.

Mikos gulped as he saluted bill again then stopped a mo. `` Uh ... sir ? ``

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

'' fountainhead sir, uh ... it 's about sergeant First form Theta. '' Mikos started.

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

'' well sir, I am of rank now that I may bring a second married woman. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you wish to train her as your second. Are you needing my permission, '' billhook asked.

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

Confused a bit invoice looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the snake pit am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to express, is that since he is an officer, he ca n't need her as a Paraguay tea. Is that about it Mikos ? '' Philip Milton Roth asked.

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to use up her as a mate I can not elevate her. I knew that the general does n't usually take attention of these matter. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the snake pit sort of shit are you two talking about ? '' eyeshade asked confused now.

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

'' That 's the biggest onus of crap I 've ever heard. '' Bill told both of them.

Roth sighed how could he explain it to a non armed forces mind ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one clock time this was allowed a very, very recollective time ago. The misdirection proved to be far too very much pressure level on the both of them. It even became so damaging that huge numbers of officers were lost in a short time as were their checkmate. This rule was instated to deter that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to arrive at her an officer ? Why did n't you say that in the first hoot place ! God ! This going around the hanker way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the males before him Bill warned. `` This had better be the finis time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the meter for secret plan ! ''

A huge smile lit up Mikos face when peak finished his lastly statement. Then he stood back when Roth gave him a look.

'' Sir making her an ship's officer is all fine and well but is she ready ? '' Roth asked a have-to doe with flavour on his face. `` You know sir you could take a leak her the scurvy officer 'til you felt she was make for higher command responsibilities. ''

invoice thought a moment then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the lowest social status of officer ? '' Bill asked unable to think of a social station lower than second base lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a warrantee Officer. It is usually reserved for eminent ranking enlisted that are made police officer not unlike you are making her one. '' Roth said a look of backup coming to his font.

'' Alright, take in her this imprimatur policeman, and then you can withdraw her as a Paraguay tea. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a gallant. '' flyer 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 clan. I do n't foresee a problem. '' Mikos replied.

Both Philip Roth and Bill shook their heads, god ! They had both forgotten the sureness and betise of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't think you have had very often. ''

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

'' howdy sir. We have been awaiting the all light up. '' She stated, neb could see that she looked pall almost as play out as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to ensure primal.

'' You have the all clear for now. We will be returning within a few minute. I am appreciative of all the work that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' banknote told her trying to judge her reaction through her stock expression.

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

'' I 'm sword lily that you feel that way I also feel that he and you are both doing all that needs to be done to fix statement. I am glad that I have personnel such as you two, warrant officer Theta. Keep up the commodity piece of work ! '' Bill finished as they had entered bidding and was now in the way with her.

turn, her mouth hanging open what happened next caught her even Thomas More off guard. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my secondly checkmate, to bond our kin together. ''

Theta tried to speak but goose egg was coming out. She was an officeholder ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too a great deal ! Turning to Bill she started to thank him but only managed to get out, `` Sir I than ... '' The melody of working as long as she had, and the lack of sleep and now all of this hit her at once. Then the world was spinning as she felt Mikos sleeve go around her as everything went pitch-black .
