The general stepped up to Bill a moment later. `` Sir, do you think that the palace is good enough now ? You really should be crowned to help slake the fears of all. ''

placard thought about it for a import then told the superior general, `` No, at the exhibit moment with this new threat that is posed I really do n't. We still need to weed out all of the treasonist. First though I am going to feature to wield this trouble with the Jaguar kinship group. I know it would stabilize the land more but with the unceasing attempts on my life, I think we should hold back. Besides it would afford you the time to find the other three. Do n't you agree ? ''

General Philip Milton Roth sighed as he suspected life with this new Martin Luther King was going to be anything but dull that was for certainly. `` I guess sir, though I am still not sure as shooting that any of them will hold to this. As I told you we all were glad just to do our duty, for the kingdom and your Padre. Though the allure of being a knight does sound good, it also brings further duty. It is THOSE that I believe they will baulk at. ''

'' Hmmm perhaps you 're right Roth, maybe I should prevail upon their sense of duty ? '' broadside suggested.

Roth was scratching his head staring at notice with a suspicious look. `` Uh huh. Just how do you presume to do that ? ``

'' Oh, something I remember my father telling me. I 'll just throw them in the keep 'til they agree. '' flier said nonchalantly.

Roth began to smile widely shaking his head. Yes he remembered when Bill 's father had used the Same tactic
though for different reason. He 'd been worried that they might hire themselves out to his enemies. He had therefore summarily thrown all four of the swordsman in the dungeon. As he remembered it was far forged back then. No where nearly as nice as they were now.

'' Yes I think it might work, though I have to ask. Are you thinking of also including me in that grouping ? '' Roth asked.

beak thought a second then said,"I might if you continue to refuse Roth, I just might. ''

'' Lucky for you I am not against the idea. I might be able-bodied to convince one of them, though the former two, I am not so sure of. The one I hope will join with me could actually convince the others to concede. I would n't oblige my breath though. '' Sighing Philip Roth shook his head, `` I am afraid that you just might have to throw them in the keep. ''

Bill began to smile, `` I was thinking about the same matter. The matter is though I am not surely just how many men I should transmit. proposition ? ''

Roth seemed to be lost in thought a moment then looked up. `` mightiness I suggest all of them ? I of course will lead them. They were and somewhat are still loyal to me. They parted ways after your crony took over years ago ; it was n't under their price either. I think they are still angry about that, all three of them have extremely hanker computer memory. ''

nib smiled then nodded. `` Make it so, then as I said if they refuse throw them in the dungeon. Oh, not the new ace but the elderly ones. You know the vermin infested ones. A brusque clock time there might convince them otherwise. ''

Philip Roth smiled so the young one had indeed done his research, `` Very honorable sir. '' Roth headed for the door pulling his com as he started to bark orders.

Bill looked behind him at his couple and soon to be Queens. Both of them had a smirk on their faces. `` You really think that they will agree ? '' Twitty asked a more amused look starting to predominate her face.

'' I have to jibe and ask the same thing, '' Glenna said. `` These are after all the bully steel master key of the realm. You really think they are going to harmonise with the brother of the king that threw them away, as if they were cypher ? No I think you are in for a long battle with them. ''

Sighing Bill replied, `` I am relying on their sense of honor to overpower their anger. ''

'' Ha ! '' Twitty shouted. `` They are, please forgive me sir, they are male person. superbia is far too great in them for them to get the best it. No I think they will contend claw and fang to NOT help the realm. ''

Bill stared at both of them with a scandalise smell. Did they have so little faith in Male ? `` So then I take it you also consider me within that group ? ''

Both Twitty and Glenna smiled widely as they both shook their heads no. `` You were taught to push aside pride and use your noesis to solve problems, well near of the time. '' Holding up her deal Twitty continued. `` Our world is a barbarian space as is the realm and there are truly times that aggression is the only answer. ''

throwaway was shaking his foreland agreeing, `` So you agree with all of my decisions ? ''

Both female person shook their oral sex no. `` Almost all of them yes we do, though the killing of the family head seemed a little much. ''

'' So the killing of traitors that would spill my descent is fine with you ? '' Bill growled in a low dangerous vocalisation. Turning he watched as several of the retainer made their way through the room.

'' NO ! '' Both of the females hissed back. `` We could have used her to feel others. Now she is but a bad memory. '' Glenna growled also.

banknote smiled as he grabbed both of the females around their necks. `` I am not to be questioned in front of the modest caste. I can forgive this for now ; but I do not bear it to pass off again though. I hope I am making myself clear on this. '' Both females smiled as they nodded as expert they could. Lowering them to the trading floor both started to purr and rub against peak. `` We have to make ready for this meeting. Though I do not expect them to not bring artillery, I do n't expect a lot of their followers either. ''




The next day Bill and both of his mates were on their way to the like small village that his third checkmate was in. Finally on the outskirt they stopped awaiting the arrival of the Panthera onca clan 's leader.

It was one quarter of a toton later that they heard the approach path of another transport. Pulling up to break off a ripe space from them placard moved closer feeling that the tribe had a trick up their sleeve.

'' I thought you wished to parley. I advise you right now that if I do not return, the devastator canon is trained on your domicile. I know that you do n't wish to lose almost all of the clan. '' Bill spit into the com that was tuned to the one the Jaguar kinship group had.

A sigh erupted from the com, `` you truly are n't like your chum. We will see you. ''

A few consequence later they were beside each former. `` Hail panther clan ! '' Bill gave the traditional greeting.

The leader 's eyes went across-the-board as he replied, `` Hail Lion clan and Rex elect. It is just to discover one as young as you respect the old way. ''

Bill smiled. `` I was taught by my father for a time though many debate me a son of a bitch, as my female parent was of a unlike clan. ``

The leader nodded, `` We are all familiar with the story. We ourselves can not dispute this. Many of us are also of two kin group. '' Here he looked at his daughter. Sighing, the Leader shook his straits, `` I am afraid that it will be some time before my daughter can propel her blazon again. Though I do thank you for the honor of sparing her life-time. ''

'' I take it your physicians are still unable to readjust her non-broken arm ? '' Bill asked.

A ball over look appeared on the leader 's face as he nodded. `` This is truthful a great science you have shown I am trusted they will visualise it out one day. ''

'' If I may I can reset it ; though I will demand something for it. '' placard replied.

Again the leader 's eyes went wide as he bowed to notice and motioned him to his daughter.

As Bill drew closer the young female person started to whoosh and growl. Bill slapped the hell out of her. `` If you attempt to bite, claw or kill I will do far a lot worse ! '' Grabbing the arm that was in a sling billhook twisted slightly as there was a sickening pop then the female screamed. Backing away measure watched as the female person 's face registered surprise then shock.

'' She should be fine in another day. That was a simple thing to fix. '' billhook told the leader.

A new respect started to picture on the drawing card 's font. `` I have n't seen such skill since your Padre was king ! That brings back many memories, your sire was a great king, a serious protagonist. '' Bowing low the drawing card stated, `` The Jaguar clan would be honored to avail you sir, king elect. There will not be any early endeavour by the clan on your life. ''

With that both of the startled Jaguar clan appendage left. Bill turned to his mates who were nodding. `` They had obviously planned trickery but shut it down. partner, think it wise to let them go ? ''

'' We may be somewhat barbarous but honor always comes first. I will repeat it again, I DO NOT like dissimulation. They were n't betrayer they hold pureness almost as high up as I do. Today I was hoping for an alliance, I believe I have one. '' Sighing Bill thought well that 's two, no three down only everything else to go !

Returning to the palace bank note had a sudden persuasion as he called Mikos. `` I need you and a tech to come to the castle. We may have cleared it of two-timer but knowing my uncles, they have twist in place in case the traitor failed. ''

'' I 'll be there in a specton. It should n't demand too long on each room, though the whole palace will have a few time of day. Any seat we should originate ? '' Mikos asked.

'' Yes, I suggest the King 's bed chamber. Then move outward from there. '' bank note responded.

'' Yes sir. We 'll be there soon. '' Mikos said.

nib and his first two mates sat outside waiting for Mikos and the tech to come out. Within moments Mikos and the tech had entered and were scanning.

'' Alright sir, bedroom started anything I should await for ? '' Mikos asked.

Opening a epithelial duct on the private com Bill told him, `` secretiveness modality. ''

'' Affirmative sir. '' Mikos said and switched over to a secure personal credit line. `` Yes sir, '' Mikos replied a moment later.

'' I do n't require you to say anything. I am sure enough that there are listening device all over the castle. Find all of them
use both the narrow and all-embracing band width locator. If I know my uncles and a few others they have the palace loaded with them. Remove all from the chamber and adjoining rooms. After that I 'll propose you as to further legal action. ''

As quietly as he could Mikos replied, `` Yes sir, I 'll give notice you of amount. ''

Bill smiled as he clicked off. `` I guess we wait for a bit 'til ... '' About that clock time government note 's com went off a song from Niaco.

'' King elect, I have further news, '' came her interpreter.

'' Yes Queen Niaco, anything you can ply before I ascend the throne will aid. '' Bill said, observing custom of her being the Queen 'til such sentence as he was crowned.

'' It appears that many of the nobility are starting to grow a short anxious. There are many murmuring that you will not move up the throne 'til such time that they have lost their belongings. I have started spreading rumour that you are clearing the traitors before you do. It has n't served to allay many of their care. I am afraid that you may have to accept the peak sooner than you wish. '' Queen Niaco told him.

'' Ah ! My affectionately Queen what you have said is after all zippo but the truth. I believe that you might desire to start rumors that the Billie Jean Moffitt King elect is upset that they are ignoring you. You may only be the fagot but you still wield at least half the big businessman of the realm. If I may intimate, '' Bill asked her.

'' By all means king elect. '' Niaco responded.

'' Perhaps you should let it fall away that you heard that the king elect will experience the streets flowing with blood. Before all of this over, there will be far more carrying into action the way things are going. Also let it perhaps slip that the queen elect would n't desire a generous fate of that blood to be that of the nobility. '' bank bill told her a wry smile on his sass.

Niaco the Queen tried to stifle her chuckle as it slipped out. `` I do consider that would be a most excellent idea king elect. 'Til we see each other again, hunt well husband to be ! ''

Both Twitty and Glenna smiled hugely. `` I have to say she will take a fine gain to our pride husband. '' Twitty told him.

'' Yes, I find I am starting to like her more and more with each passing one-half minton ! '' Glenna said as her grin grew orotund.

Bill eyed both of his mates with suspicion, what had both of them been up to ? Another matter, was his future Ilex paraguariensis and queen also in on it ?

It was perhaps half a toton later that throwaway saw Roth and a hell of a lot of troops leading three men to the castle. Bill 's face took on a huge grin, so it appeared that they had refused after all ! Perhaps a few days in the dungeon would do them more agreeable. Then a sudden thought hit measure causing him to shake his head. They had been there for almost a month before his father had threatened to decollate them with dishonor that made them finally agree. Stroking his sensory hair Bill nodded his head yes it just might work !

Bill was about to steer to the dungeon when he got a call from Mikos. `` silence mode. ''

'' Affirmative, '' Bill replied. `` What did you incur ? ''

In a hushed voice Mikos told him. `` We found 45 in the for the first time sweep, another 25 in the second. I fear that there may be more. May I bring in another two techs ? One with another sweeper device and one for retrieval. At the rate we are going I am afraid it is going to select a week just to do the two rooms around the bedchamber. ''

Bill growled at the perfidiousness and magic that his uncles had and were using. `` Alright, I suggest three to a greater extent. I assume you have been documenting ? ''

'' Yes sir. Though I have to say it appears that there are at least four dissimilar types of listening devices here. Should I try a shadow back to the actual auditor ? '' Mikos asked after a moment of pondering.

'' At submit see if you can get a focusing on them. If you can trace without them noticing, then attempt to. Under no context speculation near where you suspect they may be. These are obviously do-or-die and lower caste fools we are dealing with here. If you do get a location on my uncle Joseph Conrad, I am to know immediately ! '' Bill advised.

'' Yes sir ! '' Mikos said before he switched off.

Sighing visor could only shake off his head sadly. So many had sunk so low into the depths of legerdemain it made him sick to cerebrate that honor meant so little now. Growling Bill punched a wall, not much longsighted ! If he had to menace M with execution to stop this he would !

Both Twitty and Glenna backed away a bit seeing the foul mood that he was in. It was n't often that Twitty had seen him like this but when he was she could only ride it out.

Growling Bill walked quickly with a fix pace. Reaching the keep Bill roared, `` Where are they ? Where are the traitors ? '' note said as he knocked several guards against the rampart making his way to the three swordsmen 's electric cell.

Arriving at the first cell Bill growled at the Male within. `` Who are you ? '' The male person said growling back fiercely at Bill.

Stepping up to the cubicle throwaway reached to the Male leaning against the door made of bars. Punching the male in the chest, Bill roared as the male flew across the room into the back rampart. Still growling circular said, `` I was told that you refused to help the land. ''

The male got off the floor and roared back at throwaway, `` The region I will serve, the king elect ? No, I ... ''

'' fine ! '' greenback roared. `` Guards take him to the curtilage ! I have n't the clip for them to rot here. Tie this traitor to the block I 'll be there soon and take his worthless foreland ! '' Stepping around the corner Bill looked at the other two. `` I take it you also refuse ? Fine take them also. I have no prison term to speak to treasonist ; I 'll be there soon to clean them of their unfaithful thoughts ! ''

All three of the male person started to squall at Bill. `` Just who do you think you are ? Only the top executive and king elect can order our exe ... ''

Bill whirled getting in the fount of the one he 'd punched to the rampart. `` I am the baron elect ! My beginner was King Tomco, my chum was King Tobias ! When I am crowned I will be the next, you filthy traitor ! ''

All three of the men were quiet a import then renewed their shouting as various troops took them out of the dungeon.

Philip Roth looked on a little concerned as he came and laid a hand on greenback 's shoulder ; only to find that he was flying through the air. Landing on his feet Roth hissed at Bill when he saw the look of anger and hatred on Bill 's facial expression. `` Are you actually going to kill them or is this a ploy ? '' Roth asked.

'' I am through performing and dancing around with traitors and those that do not know how they want to go. As of this moment if they refuse a second time then they are no more. I am trying to rebuild this great kingdom my ancestors worked so heavily to produce. I will be damned if I will let it die because of those that do not know. '' Bill snarled out.

Roth stood nodding his head affirmatively. `` I shall talk to them. I am quite sure that they do not bid the dishonor of decapitation. ''

Taking a vast calming breath greenback leaned back against the wall. `` Yes I suggest that you do. I am not in the mode to hear supplication or begging this is their only prospect. After what was found at the castle I am way past that ! ''

'' Yes sir. I will tell them you will be along in two spectons. I will also severalise them that you are not playing. '' Roth sighed shaking his header. `` I just hope that they come to their senses. I lost far too many in the last-place polite war when I was with your founding father. ''

flier nodded as he watched Philip Roth ascend out of the nighttime, dank, and putrid older dungeon. Bill shook his head turning to wait at his mates. Both their eyes were huge, they both could swear that their better half peak had been in the eye of a rakehell lust killing then just as suddenly was formula again ! Neither of them had ever seen anyone with that much control !

Both kneeled, `` Though you have named us as your mates banker's bill, '' here Glenna touched his paw. `` I Glenna Nox accept your title and I claim you also as my mate. ''

beak 's oculus went across-the-board as Twitty also took his former paw, `` I Twitty Glax accept your claim and claim you also as my first mate. ''

banker's bill got a huge grinning he 'd forgotten about their accepting of his call. With all that had been going on the last-place week it had n't been that severely.

'' Now that we have that in order, '' Twitty stated. `` When do you cogitate that we might get having our first liter for you Sire ? ''

'' Yes sire, though you know that we will rest as your watchers 'til we deliver. Then we will throw to think of a nanner to take in them so we can watch over you. '' Glenna added.

Bill looked at both of them with impact, outfit ? This soon ? Throwing up his arm in surrender he shook his head as he headed for the slaying M .
