poster climbed the steps leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution of instrument M. imprecate it ! He knew that they were famous for being stubborn but he did n't conceive that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up vizor came up and out into the luminousness. Ahead he could hear the three male cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Philip Milton Roth, I do not hold the prison term to indulge to pleading traitors. I am trying to rebuild the vast and powerful realm my home helped to make water. I have no time for the the like of you ! This is the solely chance you will have. serve the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will declare oneself you this. '' Bill waited a few hour then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded public figure he said, `` Make it decelerate so they suffer ! ``

As he walked away he heard all three of the men yell. `` If you are truly the king chosen then you can understand why we refuse ! ''

Bill walked back getting in all three of their faces. `` I understand a disservice was done to all three of you. As I said I have n't the time to wait for you three to cook up your minds ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will reach all of your folk as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' Release us and we will affirm faithfulness to you ! '' The oldest of them said.

'' I am not a Lester Willis Young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were with child swordsmen that would revel a truthful challenge. Goodbye unworthy ones your families will be homeless person soon ! '' Bill said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The Lapplander older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true epithet are. I know that business leader Tomco only told his younger son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no further problem with us. ''

flier nodded as he racked his genius to remember the name his sire had told him when he was so young. Suddenly a thin grinning crossed his back talk as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the male would nod to the others and Roth. Finished Bill moved to stand in front of them.

'' Sire. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in front man of him. Roth also knelt following to them as each of them stated. `` I am a citizen of the realm I pledge my life and my sword to the laurels of the realm ! To protect the king and the land ! ``

Taking a deep breath Bill nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the holdup, at least he had them now. Narrowing his center as he looked at all three of them he just hoped that they did n't bolt at this adjacent part. Pulling his Father 's sword that he 'd strapped on before he made for the prison, he stepped to all four of the swordsmen kneeling.

'' I desire all four of you in a far more reaching mental ability than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the kickoff of them. Touching the sword to each articulatio humeri handbill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, offset knight of the kingdom. '' Moving to the second he repeated the same motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, low horse of the kingdom. ''

Both of the low gear two male person were in shock almost ineffectual to move, as of yet unable to mouth.

government note moved to the 3rd whose back talk was hanging open as were the for the first time two. Tapping the third male on the shoulders account stated, `` Arise Sir Lowell Jackson Thomas low Knight of the kingdom. '' Even as Seth Thomas was nodding in seismic disturbance Bill finally stopped in front of Roth. Tapping his articulatio humeri card told him, `` Arise Sir Philip Milton Roth, First Knight of the realm, and General to the realm 's United States Army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only former one besides bank bill that knew that it was going to find. Roth bowed to visor as he said, `` As First horse of the Realm I will protect the king, the kingdom, and the realm with my life. I will uphold all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my faithfulness unto you. ''

One by one each of the fencer followed Philip Roth 's deterrent example. handbill nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the region we must have all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing Bill shook his psyche. `` At present tense there is n't a lot for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are able to train many to protect the kingdom. ''

'' Yes forefather, we will bug out as soon as possible. '' Philip Milton Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your side should n't you go through with the enthronement ? ''

handbill could only suspire, everyone was so eager to make him a moving target ! `` I will take that into consideration. At portray things are safer now at least in the palace, or they will be after a few daytime. '' When Roth and the others looked a little throw greenback explained. `` It was found that the palace was a harbor for a people of listening devices. ''

'' Ah ! That was why I saw all those techs going in a while ago. '' Philip Milton Roth said.

'' Yes, '' Turning to the early three Bill stated. `` As you can see I have my father 's peevishness, not as bad but I do give birth it. I will not stand perfidy as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at least 'til you can offer break. Though I think my fellow might birth something to say about that. ''

All four of the Male nodded in agreement their oculus panoptic a second when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying sword. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient fencer ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a hired hand.

'' These three along with Roth are First horse of the Realm. I suggest you address them as such. '' banknote told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

'' As your teammate and Queen chosen we feel that they should be tested. '' Twitty hissed as she drew her sword.

Bill rolled his eyes when Twitty attacked with blazing speed being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to put off a ten thousand of swings that Gregor was taking.

Separating Twitty nodded as she put away her sword. `` You are well trained in the old ways of blade play. It was an purity to see your skill. '' Gregor said.

Even as Twitty was sheathing her sword, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every jab, drive and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her upper. Finally a specton later they separated.

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such skill in one as young as you is admirable ! Your teacher taught you well. ''

Glenna nodded as she suddenly whirled and hissed as she went after Norman Mattoon Thomas. `` 'bout prison term, '' He said with a smiling. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally live up to she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are more than satisfactory mate. '' Both of them told Bill.

A immense smile on his cheek, broadsheet nodded as all four of the male fell in behind invoice and his match.

'' I know that all of you have home now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are low knights, the danger to them will increase. '' beak told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the same lines sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in abode inside the rampart. '' Roth relayed a import later.

Bill and the retinue with him stopped as placard pondered this. `` I think I see your point Roth. punter protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far easier than if they were in the palace. I like this theme. '' Turning to the other three broadside asked. `` What say you three ? Would your crime syndicate care to endure within the paries ? ''

Gregor turned to await at the former two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to Bill. `` Sir, I know that my mate would love the opportunity to live by the castling though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would have sex the chance to hold up here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Thomas stepped forward. `` sire I am uncertain as my mate and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My erstwhile son and his mate were killed in an chance event. I know that this would be a corking acquisition experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

bill was nodding at everything Thomas was saying. It was a valid head but he needed all four of them if this was going to solve. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your mates ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of eyeshade 's knights showed shock then very wide smiles spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would make love to see this ! ''

look at Philip Roth with a poop spirit Bill told him, `` I really do n't see what the the pits is so funny Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't actualise that all four of us have strong mates. I 'd dare say that they are as strong as yours. '' Philip Milton Roth said after he 'd check chuckling.

neb 's centre went wide as he threw up his arms in licking. What in the hell did he have to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to take to execute to get back on track ! Sighing a moment Bill looked at both his married person who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should have my mates ; they might be able to convert them. ''

Roth nerve suddenly showed shock absorber as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will postulate a damn full cause. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am unsure they are very set in their ways now. ''

Both of Bill 's mates had shocked flavour on their faces. `` You want us to win over them ? '' Glenna started. `` Maybe if you let me go in fully armed then perhaps. ''

'' I know all four of these female person, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told throwaway.

government note 's eyes went wide, just who in the nether region were these females ? Did he have to send an armed unit of soldiers when his Paraguay tea went to utter to them ? account looked at all four male person a moment looking to see if they had collars or slave bands. The way his mates and the males described their mates these female person were extremely dominate.

Roth and the others looked at government note a second seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile Roth spoke up to excuse. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your father, they were n't this way. With the increasing danger that we and later they started to typeface we were able to win over your father to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. backrest then had it been known that female person were close to our acquirement, and many would consume tried to kill them. ''

billhook was nodding, he 'd known that his father had many radical idea but this was a initiative for him. Then, it could get gotten his begetter killed, now ? It was n't really all that a great deal to see highly educate females. He looked at his own fellow wondering just how far they had advanced after all. If they thought they had to go in fully armed what did this say about the swordsman 's mates ?

'' Alright, I will allow you both to go in fully armed, though I want a large detachment to go with you. '' Bill told both of his married person.

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too smart fellow. ''

'' I am in agreement, '' Glenna agreed. `` It would be a barren of troops that might be needed elsewhere. ''

Again Bill 's eyes registered jounce, just who in the Hades were these female ?

'' I tend to agree, '' Roth told him. `` They are far better take aim than any of the scout troop at present. ''

Bill could only shake his header in disbelief. `` Am I asking the wrongly four to be first knights ? '' invoice half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsman bristled 'til they saw the smiling that was creeping onto Bill 's face.

'' Who do you intend will be the easiest to convert ? '' Bill asked of the six male person and female there.

All of them went into give-and-take for a few spectons then Philip Milton Roth turned to placard. `` I think that my mate would be the sluttish to convert, though the hardest to fight. ``

The others nodded in agreement, `` I think my mate might be the arduous to convince though she can still be tough to vote out. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's come out with Roth 's Ilex paraguariensis and end with Lowell Jackson Thomas 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' Bill started.

'' No mate, it would be advisable if you waited 'til we secured their promise. You are not as well trained as we are yet. Though I have a opinion that it wo n't be long before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

bill nodded hiding his surprise that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to groom further.

Philip Roth scratched his Chin as he twitched his sensory hair, it would be a good matter if the king elect were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would make his grooming far easier.


It was half a toton later that all seven of them were standing outside of Philip Roth 's domicile.

'' I 'll go in with your mates to try and cushion the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Roth told banker's bill as Twitty, Glenna, and Roth made their way inside. It was repose for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the backrest of the household. A moment later Roth came flying through the room access landing place at a heap at notice 's backbone paws.

'' I take it affair are n't going that well ? '' eyeshade asked.

'' Actually not too bad. Usually she 'd put me across the street, past the side by side row of theatre. Be back, '' Philip Milton Roth said as he picked his self up and reentered his base.

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the sound of a sword fight started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female person screech. `` This is my home ! I will not give it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword drama then Philip Roth was again flying backward out the door. This time he went a whole lot further going far past Bill and the others almost out of sight.

'' Ah that brings back remembering ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth piddle his way back. Suddenly there was the sound of ferocious growling and fizzle as the rapid phone of brand clanging could be heard.

broadsheet could only stir his principal as they all had suddenly fought their way to the room access. Damn ! handbill thought as he watched the older female keep up with both Twitty and Glenna. Bill was starting to cerebrate that the female would never relent when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his paws she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my better half thought you the king then I will no longer push. Though I do wish to hold on this house. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

flier looked at the older female and motioned for her to rise, `` yes they are, mate of Roth. This will always be your family no matter what. Stepping close flyer told her, `` I will establish trusted of that. ''

Nodding, the female person bowed to card, then his couple. `` You both are well trained. Most fitting for the big businessman chosen. ''

smile slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his top dog Bill thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a recollective day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's home, after the sly grin from their checkmate the Male were a little in shock absorber. All three of the males were surprised that their mates had n't gone prospicient though they were glad that they were on control panel, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Norman Thomas 's home they all knew that they were going to be in for a existent scrap. Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to give up the home we raised our kits in Lowell Jackson Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will struggle to the decease to keep it ! ''

flier stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your home ! It will ... ''

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is lie in ! The others may have been fooled but I am no naïve felid poof ! Go peddle your lies to others I want my hubby with me, not gone all the sentence ! '' Thomas 's Paraguay tea yelled.

Sighing billhook could only shake his principal he was about to change state and release Seth Thomas when the Male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a commencement horse now ! I can not deny my duty to the mogul elect ! ''

'' King elect ? That coward is still on land ! We have no world-beater now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

'' BE quieten mate ! The king elect is here ! Do not utter so I still wish to have you as a mate and not a memory ! Such lecture is treason ! '' Seth Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly furious looking catamount clan female was standing in the break down doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the chemical group in front. Drawing her blade she swung at broadside only to have it blocked by the two brand of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our match ! You will have to kill the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now surprised Mileen. With a fury that surprised all nowadays Mileen began to iron forward only to be stopped and drove back. It was a good one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose background.

Finally pressed into a corner Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her left arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled feeling that she finally had an advantage everyone but handbill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to block up.

'' I was wondering if this was a private affair or can any join ? '' Came a female voice from behind Bill.

'' This is a private affair unless you are family. '' An dishonour Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her mouth dropped agape when she realized that the fledgling was king Niaco !

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` Good, it has been far too long since I have had a upright scrap ! That was my sister wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my business ! ``

Niaco swung with a furiousness and lastingness that no one really expected. Mileen started to care she had n't seen a female this good in a long prison term ! Finally backed into a corner again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

'' I think it is my husband you should bow to, Mileen. '' Niaco told the female person.

Nodding Mileen turned toward Bill her eyes opening wide of the mark when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
