Bill 's eyes went wide as he walked to Dylan Marlais Thomas 's mate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a short uncertain as he grasp the distaff Lynx 's face tilting it upwardly to gaze into her eyes. `` By the heavy feline ! It is you ! ''

rip started to fall from Mileen 's optic as she nodded and hugged measure tightly. `` I lost track of you after I left the palace all those years ago. wellspring, 'til I heard that you had left and went to live on that primitive mud nut. Is it true that they do not hunt 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 things there. Had it not been for the creative thinker shield I might let gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their earth is naught like ours that is for sure. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with panoptic eyed admiration and gaping backtalk at the familiarity between the two. Thomas of course was the most shocked, he 'd no idea that his fellow had known the king elect farseeing before now. `` Uh ... '' Saint Thomas tried to start. `` Alright I am at a perfect loss partner. You both know each other ? ''

Mileen took her mates face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes mate, when he was still an onetime kit. For a short time after his mother had passed, I was his companion you might say. A few months 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 worldly concern epithet. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the time being I am simply measure, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Roth walked up a huge smiling on his face, `` I still think that you should go through with the coronation. ''
Bill was nodding a import then he walked preceding Philip Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. greenback also noticed that Niaco was doing a damn very well field dressing on Twitty 's exit arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask king 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 mingy. `` As you can see King elect, I am no weak female that you can brush aside. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each other. I 'm indisputable that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` superior ability would easily sweep over me. ''

Bill growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at Bill 's manus. `` I do not notice your levity at this site or that of your safety humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, Bill softened quickly when she did not move and bowed her heading.

'' My apologies king elect I can not consider much more than of being locked away in that billet. I have yearned for the undefended skies and land. Please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the last persona whispered so low that only throwaway heard it.

Giving Niaco another stern surd face he said, `` Arise Queen Niaco, mate. ''

Rising, her oral sex still bowed, a slow grin started to diffuse across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To do your lastly interrogative sentence I had to fall, it appears that the outer system of rules planets are trying to declare Independence. Unless they gain support from the Rex they intend to be a discriminate power in half a daycon. ''

"Damn it !"bank bill growled at the persuasion that the outer system planets were forcing his hand so soon. `` I take it they were fishy about many of the recent decisions 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 remark from one world in picky. They said that the king elect was afraid to take bursting charge. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide on earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this conclusion scuttlebutt was really going to piss Bill off to no end.

boom in ire invoice turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the intensity level of notice when he was angered and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` all right ! Damn it ! receive them prepare for my coronation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to shell this rebellion before it starts. The gull have become emboldened with the absence of a king ! ''

Snatching his com off his bash he bellowed to Mikos to hasten his furry ass up, they had a enthronization tonight !

'' I 'll need a hellhole of a lot more than personnel department sir, if we are to finish on time. At nowadays we only have the Martin Luther King 's sleeping accommodation and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

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

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

'' Lock it the hell down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all net ! '' Bill spit out now completely disgusted that he had to assume command as soon as he was.

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

Whirling neb walked to Philip Milton Roth, `` You can resign your damn smiling Roth ! I am not happy at all with things progressing this fasting ! '' Looking over at Niaco, eyeshade said, `` Have an armed escort go with Niaco and retrieve her belongings. I want everything triple scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Roth 's mouth dropped undecided, triplet scanned ! `` Are you indisputable sir ? Wo n't the Queen get upset with this intervention ? ''

'' 'Til the risk is past tense EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the palace. '' account growled out.

Roth nodded his head actually that made a pit of a lot of sentiency. They were just starting to weed out all the traitors. Yes, it made double-dyed sense.



In a castle like building one hundred hecksons away Bill 's uncle Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski was pacing. What a jester and idiot his asinine comrade had been. Caught and executed like a common thief ! That bastard son of Martin Luther King Jr. Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the Lord family name like that !

An aid got a little too close as Joseph Conrad 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 remove that dickhead permanently ! Pacing a few more proceedings Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil grin dominating his features.

'' call up the Ocicat clan ! I believe they still have a debt of death they owe that prick. Plus they still owe me a ancestry oath for restoring their home. I intend to collect on it, unlike the other assassinator guild they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his throat as his com tech made the necessity connexion.

It was several time of day later when there was an answer to his birdcall. A scratchy spokesperson came from the Speaker. `` Who are you to demand the armed service of the Ocicat clan ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be dead within a quarter toton if your answer does not satisfy us ! ''

Conrad stopped pacing his middle narrowing at the threat the voice had just issued. `` One would think that your organization and clan would already fuck who this is ! '' Conrad spit with malice.

'' master Nox, '' The vocalism replied. `` To what delight do we have hearing from you ? '' The vocalization said suddenly softening.

'' The Ocicat clan owes a blood curse word to me for the restoration of their ancestral nursing home. I intend to collect upon that rip oath. I suggest you remember that the succeeding time I call you ! I am in motive of the divine service of your clan professionally. '' Conrad said a hint of delight in his voice.

'' For the blood oath we are at your service of process. How may we assist you to repay the blood oath ? '' The voice asked.

'' I need you to excrete that bastard Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the power elect. If he ascends to the potty it will be even heavily to get to him. I am the lawful king, therefore pass him and your clan 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 Holy Writ did n't seem to carry much emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by punter noble than you. make love this ; if betrayal is a office of this deal then your demise will be extremely slow and awful. '' The interpreter responded.

Conrad chuckled a moment he knew they were all rhodomontade as long as he still held the ownership to their state. No, they would n't make a move on him. Smiling an evil smile he thought they were his to command as long as he held ascendency of their land. Besides he thought even assassinator were vulnerable to weapons flame !

The leader of the Ocicat kindred grimly shook his capitulum ; there was goose egg but misrepresentation behind that one's Good Book. Sighing they had no choice at nowadays. His spy had worked for a almost one-half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal clan Male. Still they had n't received any word of where the possession papers were. The leader feared that the spy had been captured at one percentage point. Then two daycons later they reported in they were still searching.

The leader had to decide who would go on this commission. They had the right assassins 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 killers he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near dying.

Both combatants 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 bedevil weapon system. Both failing that, they pulled short sword as they again advanced slashing and thrusting. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the early on the arm ripping a gash in it.

Undaunted the heavier belligerent moved to anticipate attack only to be rebuffed and force back to the wall. A short sword at the throat and a dagger across the middle finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the heavier scrapper opened their branch to await death that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the flooring with the hilt of the sword effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

Bowing to the leader the male nodded as the victor removed their oral sex and face application. `` You are the victor ; 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 neglect you or the clan. If I do I shall have the consequences of that failure. '' The female person told the loss leader.

'' I realize this girl though with the shortness of the clan, all will be accepted back, failure 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 last of the leader nestling. If the clan loses you, then the kinship group will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a failure, the kin group member 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 pureness of the clan is a very amercement thing indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are dead then what of the pureness would survive ? '' The leader asked the wide eyed female.

Bowing the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not intend to betray. I will kill the one that is the appointment and return. Soon we shall have all our land returned to us. ''

The leader watched as his daughter left for her mission. You are so naïve my girl, even if we kill this top executive chosen I fear that we will never be free of the one that held their ground.



measure watched as Mikos and at least L others left the palace. In all they had found well over forty thousand twist. placard could only escape from his head the amount of prison term all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a moment later a tired, wide grinning on his fount. `` We ran two separate chimneysweep with two bunch. We got at least ninety nine pct of them. It will consider a concentrated scan to get the relief but I think we made it a hell of a lot safe than it was. ''

circular nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux tribe were nothing if not thorough. `` I know you have done an prodigious job. '' circular smiled as the Whitney Moore Young Jr. officer snapped off a military greeting.

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

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

'' You made a supreme effort Colonel, I ca n't ask for to a greater extent than that. '' banker's bill said as he watched first Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew wide-eyed in surprisal.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a look of wonder in his eyes.

'' 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 problem ? '' peak asked Mikos wondering what was up.

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about police sergeant low gear social class Theta. '' Mikos started.

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

'' wellspring sir, I am of social station now that I may use up a second wife. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you wish to convey her as your endorse. Are you needing my permission, '' Bill asked.

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

Confused a mo Bill looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the perdition am I missing here ? ''

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

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to lease her as a first mate I can not promote her. I knew that the general does n't usually take care of these things. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the the pits kind of shit are you two talking about ? '' banker's bill asked confused now.

'' It is simple normal of the military sir. An enlisted can not nor will not occupy in becoming a mate with an ship's officer. '' Roth explained.

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

Roth sighed how could he excuse it to a non military mind ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one prison term this was allowed a very, very long metre ago. The distraction proved to be far too much pressure on the both of them. It even became so prejudicious that huge numbers of ship's officer were lost in a short-circuit time as were their match. This rule was instated to dissuade that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to shit her an military officer ? Why did n't you say that in the first red cent seat ! God ! This going around the long way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the Male before him Bill warned. `` This had estimable be the shoemaker's last time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the time for game ! ''

A vast smile lit up Mikos face when bank note finished his hold out statement. Then he stood back when Philip Milton Roth gave him a looking at.

'' Sir making her an officer is all fine and well but is she make ? '' Roth asked a pertain look on his face. `` You know sir you could take a crap her the lowest officer 'til you felt she was ready for higher command responsibilities. ''

eyeshade thought a second then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the dispirited rank of officer ? '' bank note asked ineffectual to conceive of a social station low-pitched than second gear lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a guarantee Officer. It is usually reserved for high-pitched ranking enlisted that are made officeholder not unlike you are making her one. '' Philip Roth said a look of relief coming to his face.

'' Alright, make her this warrant officer, and then you can take her as a match. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a gallant. '' Bill said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

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

Both Philip Roth and banknote shook their principal, god ! They had both forgotten the confidence and stupidity of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't guess you have had very often. ''

Mikos could only stare at both of the males as they all made their way to telephone exchange. Snapping out his com Bill called ahead. Bill was even more storm when he saw it was Theta that answered.

'' Hello sir. We have been awaiting the all clear. '' She stated, Bill could see that she looked run down almost as tired as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to secure exchange.

'' You have the all readable for now. We will be returning within a few moments. I am appreciative of all the study that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' measure told her trying to guess her reaction through her jade construction.

'' Oh beneficial ! Finally he can do far more 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 glad that you feel that way I also feel that he and you are both doing all that needs to be done to secure command. I am glad that I have personnel such as you two, warrant officeholder Theta. preserve up the good employment ! '' Bill finished as they had entered program line and was now in the way with her.

turning, her mouth hanging open what happened succeeding caught her even to a greater extent off guard. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my 2nd mate, to bond our kin together. ''

Theta tried to speak but cipher was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too much ! Turning to Bill she started to give thanks him but only managed to get out, `` Sir I than ... '' The tenor 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 branch go around her as everything went black .
