notice 's middle went wide as he walked to Thomas 's mate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little changeable as he grasp the female person lynx 's face tilting it upwards to gaze into her optic. `` By the slap-up feline ! It is you ! ''

tear started to fall from Mileen 's eyes as she nodded and hugged Bill tightly. `` I lost track of you after I left the palace all those year ago. wellspring, 'til I heard that you had left and went to last on that primitive mud ball. Is it true that they do not track down there at all ? How do they survive ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the view.

Releasing her bill replied, `` They do a great many strange thing there. Had it not been for the judgment shield I might hold gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their humans is nada like ours that is for sure as shooting. ''

Everyone but Philip Roth was staring with wide of the mark eyed wonderment and gaping oral fissure at the familiarity between the two. Thomas of course was the most ball over, he 'd no estimate that his teammate had known the king elect long before now. `` Uh ... '' Thomas tried to start. `` Alright I am at a all over red ink match. You both know each other ? ''

Mileen took her match face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes partner, when he was still an Old kit. For a unforesightful fourth dimension after his mother had passed, I was his familiar you might say. A few month after this I met you, with a mate I was no longer able-bodied 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 Bill, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Roth walked up a huge smile on his fount, `` I still think that you should go through with the investiture. ''
throwaway was nodding a present moment then he walked past tense Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. Bill also noticed that Niaco was doing a damn alright bailiwick dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

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

Niaco smirked then turned back to Twitty when she gasped because Niaco had drawn the dressing too tight. `` As you can see king elect, I am no weak female person that you can brush aside. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each other. I 'm sure enough that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` superordinate ability would easily surmount me. ''

vizor growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at invoice 's hand. `` I do not line up your levity at this site or that of your safety humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, throwaway softened quickly when she did not be active and bowed her forefront.

'' My apology king elect I can not take much more of being locked away in that blank space. I have yearned for the open skies and kingdom. please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the lastly function whispered so low that only Bill heard it.

Giving Niaco another stern difficult flavour he said, `` Arise Queen Niaco, checkmate. ''

rising, her head still bowed, a tardily smile started to disperse across her cheek. `` Thank you king elect. To answer your last question I had to hail, it appears that the outer scheme satellite are trying to declare independence. Unless they gain backing from the Billie Jean King they intend to be a separate might in half a daycon. ''

"Damn it !"Bill growled at the thought that the outer system satellite were forcing his hand so soon. `` I take it they were wary 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 things done. There was a comment from one world in special. They said that the king elect was afraid to lease charge. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide on earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this end commentary was really going to piss Bill off to no end.

holloa in ire Bill turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strong point of Bill when he was see red and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` Alright ! Damn it ! possess them prepare for my coronation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to crush this uprising before it starts. The patsy have become emboldened with the absence of a Rex ! ''

Snatching his com off his belt he bellowed to Mikos to hurry his furry ass up, they had a investiture tonight !

'' I 'll need a inferno of a lot to a greater extent personnel sir, if we are to finish on metre. At present we only have the Martin Luther King 's Sir William Chambers and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! Triple the figure ! We need the palace clear as soon as potential ! '' poster was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may go away primal a fiddling lean. '' Mikos replied.

'' curl it the inferno down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all acquit ! '' invoice spit out now completely disgusted that he had to strike command as soon as he was.

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

Whirling pecker walked to Roth, `` You can quit your damn smiling Roth ! I am not well-chosen at all with things progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, bank bill said, `` Have an armed bodyguard go with Niaco and recollect her holding. I want everything triple scanned before it is allowed in the castle. ''

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

'' 'Til the danger is yesteryear EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the palace. '' Bill growled out.

Roth nodded his head actually that made a hell of a lot of common sense. They were just starting to weed out all the two-timer. Yes, it made perfect sense.



In a castle like building one hundred hecksons away banker's bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a sap and idiot his asinine crony had been. Caught and executed like a plebeian thief ! That bastard son of world-beater Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the nobleman family public figure like that !

An aid got a little too close as Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski raged about the room 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 take away that mongrel permanently ! Pacing a few more minute of arc Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil smiling dominating his feature.

'' call the Ocicat tribe ! I believe they still have a debt of death they owe that bastard. Plus they still owe me a rakehell expletive for restoring their abode. I intend to collect on it, unlike the other assassin club they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his pharynx as his com tech made the requirement joining.

It was several hours later when there was an answer to his shout. A raspy part came from the utterer. `` Who are you to necessitate the services of the Ocicat clan ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be deadened within a quarter toton if your solution does not satisfy us ! ''

Joseph Conrad stopped pacing his oculus narrowing at the threat the part had just issued. `` One would think that your system and clan would already know who this is ! '' Conrad spitting with spite.

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

'' The Ocicat clan owes a stock oath to me for the restitution of their ancestral family. I intend to amass upon that stock swearing. I suggest you remember that the next fourth dimension I call you ! I am in need of the Robert William Service of your tribe professionally. '' Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski said a hint of delight in his part.

'' For the blood oath we are at your inspection and repair. How may we swear out you to pay back the lineage oath ? '' The representative asked.

'' I need you to eliminate that bastard Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the male monarch elect. If he ascends to the commode it will be even strong to get to him. I am the true king, therefore rid of him and your clan will be more than rewarded. There are several thousand tetsons of land around yours. If I am king I am surely that quite a few hundred of those tetsons would suddenly be awarded to your kin group as a thanks. '' Conrad said though his give-and-take did n't seem to carry very much emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by better Lord than you. Know this ; if betrayal is a part of this batch then your last will be extremely dense 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 cook a move on him. Smiling an wickedness smile he thought they were his to command as long as he held control of their land. Besides he thought even assassin were vulnerable to weapons blast !

The loss leader of the Ocicat clan grimly shook his headway ; there was cypher but misrepresentation 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 hate Bengal kindred male. Still they had n't received any discussion of where the ownership papers 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 make up one's mind who would go on this mission. They had the undecomposed assassin on the planet. Even the jaguar clan was still behind them though as the leader had seen they were closing the gap rather quickly. Calling his best two cause of death he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near death.

Both combatant came in and bowed to the loss leader then took a stance against each early. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each early starting with fox weapon system. Both failing that, they pulled short swords as they again advanced slashing and poke. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the other on the arm ripping a gash in it.

Undaunted the heavier combatant moved to counter fire only to be rebuffed and push back to the wall. A short sword at the throat and a sticker across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the heavier battler opened their arms to await demise that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the story with the hilt of the sword effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

Bowing to the leader the male nodded as the master removed their head and face natural covering. `` You are the master ; you therefore are awarded the delegacy. '' As the cover came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not break down you or the kin group. If I do I shall accept the consequences of that unsuccessful person. '' The female told the leader.

'' I realize this daughter though with the abruptness of the kin group, all will be accepted back, nonstarter or not. '' Sighing the loss leader went on to explain at the questioning expression on her brass. `` We have lost many in the hold out four quants. You are the last of the leader nipper. If the kin group loses you, then the clan will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a failure, the kindred phallus 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 clan ? '' The female asked.

'' The laurels of the kin group is a very ok thing indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are bushed then what of the honor would last ? '' The leader asked the astray eyed female.

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

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



Bill watched as Mikos and at to the lowest degree l others left the castle. In all they had found well over forty thousand devices. Bill could only stimulate 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, panoptic smile on his human face. `` We ran two secern slam with two crews. We got at least xc nine percent of them. It will look at a concentrated scan to get the balance but I think we made it a Hades of a lot good than it was. ''

flyer nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux clan were zippo if not thorough. `` I know you have done an exceptional job. '' Bill smiled as the young officeholder snapped off a salute.

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

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

'' You made a sovereign effort Colonel, I ca n't ask for more than that. '' broadsheet said as he watched first Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew extensive in surprise.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a looking at of curiosity in his oculus.

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

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

'' Yes Colonel, is there a trouble ? '' Bill asked Mikos wondering what was up.

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about Sergeant First Class Theta. '' Mikos started.

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

'' fountainhead sir, I am of rank and file now that I may take a bit wife. '' Mikos replied.

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

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

Confused a moment eyeshade looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the sin am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to show, is that since he is an ship's officer, 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 contain her as a mate I can not raise her. I knew that the general does n't usually take care of these thing. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

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

'' It is simple ruler of the armed services sir. An enlisted can not nor will not absorb in becoming a mate with an ship's officer. '' Philip Roth explained.

'' That 's the biggest lode of crap I 've ever heard. '' account told both of them.

Philip Milton Roth sighed how could he excuse it to a non military psyche ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one time this was allowed a very, very hanker time ago. The distraction proved to be far too a good deal pressing on the both of them. It even became so detrimental that huge numbers of officers were lost in a brusque time as were their Paraguay tea. This rule was instated to deter that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to prepare her an officer ? Why did n't you say that in the maiden tinker's dam place ! God ! This going around the foresightful way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the males before him bill warned. `` This had well be the last time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the fourth dimension for secret plan ! ''

A vast smile lit up Mikos face when greenback finished his last statement. Then he stood back when Roth gave him a look.

'' Sir making her an officer is all fine and well but is she make ? '' Philip Milton Roth asked a concerned look on his cheek. `` You know sir you could pull in her the lowest officer 'til you felt she was ready for gamey command obligation. ''

Bill thought a moment then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the humble rank of ship's officer ? '' card asked unable to conceive of a social rank humble than second lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a Warrant Officer. It is usually reserved for mellow ranking enlisted that are made officers not unlike you are making her one. '' Philip Roth said a looking of relief coming to his face.

'' Alright, seduce her this justify officer, and then you can consume her as a spouse. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a beau. '' Bill said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

'' Thank you sir, I am confident that she will. I have much to provide her and her clan. I do n't foresee a problem. '' Mikos replied.

Both Roth and eyeshade shook their heads, god ! They had both forgotten the confidence and stupidity of juvenility ! `` 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 stare at both of the male as they all made their way to central. Snapping out his com placard called ahead. invoice was even more surprised when he saw it was Theta that answered.

'' hi sir. We have been awaiting the all clear. '' She stated, account could see that she looked tired almost as sap as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to batten telephone exchange.

'' You have the all clear for now. We will be returning within a few instant. I am appreciative of all the employment that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' greenback told her trying to approximate her response through her wear expression.

'' Oh expert ! Finally he can do far Thomas More 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 guarantee command. I am glad that I have personnel such as you two, warrant police officer Theta. Keep up the secure work ! '' poster finished as they had entered dictation and was now in the room with her.

turning, her mouth hanging open up what happened next caught her even more than off safety. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my second mate, to bond our kinship group together. ''

Theta tried to address but nothing was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too a lot ! Turning to greenback 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 sleep and now all of this hit her at once. Then the earth was spinning as she felt Mikos arms go around her as everything went melanise .
