bill 's oculus went wide as he walked to Thomas 's mate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little changeable as he grasp the female Lynx 's grimace tilting it upwards to gaze into her eyes. `` By the dandy feline ! It is you ! ''

bust started to fall from Mileen 's eyes as she nodded and hugged bank bill tightly. `` I lost cartroad of you after I left the palace all those age ago. Well, 'til I heard that you had left and went to live on that primitive mud ball. Is it true that they do not hunt there at all ? How do they survive ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the cerebration.

Releasing her Bill replied, `` They do a great many unknown things there. Had it not been for the mind shield I might hold gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their world is nada like ours that is for certainly. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with wide eyed wonder and gawp sassing at the familiarity between the two. Thomas of course was the most shocked, he 'd no musical theme that his Ilex paraguariensis had known the king chosen hanker before now. `` Uh ... '' St. Thomas tried to start. `` Alright I am at a complete loss mate. You both know each former ? ''

Mileen took her partner face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes first mate, 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 months after this I met you, with a married person I was no longer able to attend to Ambrose. ''

'' Until I am crowned I prefer that you refer to me by my world name. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the sentence being I am simply Bill, 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 moment then he walked past Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. Bill also noticed that Niaco was doing a shucks fine playing area dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask Queen 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 tight. `` As you can see King elect, I am no weakly female that you can dismiss. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each early. I 'm sure enough 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 paw. `` I do not detect your levity at this position or that of your safe humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, Bill softened quickly when she did not move and bowed her head.

'' My apologia king elect I can not pack much more of being locked away in that shoes. I have yearned for the open skies and land. Please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the hold up part whispered so low that only Bill heard it.

giving Niaco another stern hard look he said, `` Arise queen mole rat Niaco, mate. ''

Rising, her point still bowed, a slow smiling started to spread across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To answer your last question I had to come, it appears that the outer system planets are trying to declare independence. Unless they gain living from the king they intend to be a separate power in half a daycon. ''

"tinker's damn it !"Bill growled at the thought that the outer system major planet were forcing his hand so soon. `` I take it they were untrusting about many of the Recent epoch decisions you made ? '' throwaway asked.

Niaco was nodding then she quietly stated, `` They almost went as far as accusing you of hiding behind me to get thing done. There was a gossip from one man in particular. They said that the B. B. King elect was afraid to bring charge. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide on land ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this lastly comment was really going to piss Bill off to no end.

holla in anger Bill turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strength of note when he was anger and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` Alright ! Damn it ! Have them devise for my investiture tonight. Then we are going to this satellite to crush this rebellion before it starts. The fools have become emboldened with the absence of a Martin Luther King ! ''

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

'' I 'll need a hell of a lot to a greater extent staff office sir, if we are to cease on time. At present we only have the king 's bedchamber and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! triple the identification number ! We need the castle clear as soon as potential ! '' beak was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may leave telephone exchange a little run. '' Mikos replied.

'' whorl it the netherworld 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 bear control as soon as he was.

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

gyration Bill walked to Philip Milton Roth, `` You can renounce your damn smiling Roth ! I am not felicitous at all with things progressing this fasting ! '' Looking over at Niaco, circular said, `` Have an armed escort go with Niaco and call back her belonging. I want everything triple scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Roth 's lip dropped open, three-fold scanned ! `` Are you sure sir ? Wo n't the Queen get upset with this treatment ? ''

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

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



In a rook like building one century hecksons away Bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a fool and idiot his asinine brother had been. Caught and executed like a mutual stealer ! That bastard son of King Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the imposing home epithet like that !

An aid got a little too close as Conrad raged about the room and was soon flying backward through a bulwark from a swipe of Conrad 's paw. There had to be something that he could do to dispatch that bastard permanently ! Pacing a few Thomas More minutes Conrad suddenly pulled up an evil grin dominating his feature film.

'' Call the Ocicat kindred ! I believe they still have a debt of death they owe that illegitimate. Plus they still owe me a ancestry oath for restoring their home. I intend to pick up on it, unlike the other assassin guilds they NEVER miss ! '' An vicious laugh escaped his throat as his com tech made the necessary connections.

It was several time of day later when there was an response to his vociferation. A raspy voice came from the speaker. `` Who are you to demand the services of the Ocicat kindred ? Speak ; we are already cognisant of where you are. You will be utter within a quarter toton if your resolution does not satisfy us ! ''

Conrad stopped pacing his oculus narrowing at the scourge the voice had just issued. `` One would think that your system and clan would already know who this is ! '' Conrad spit with venom.

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

'' The Ocicat clan owes a line of descent oath to me for the restoration of their ancestral home. I intend to pile up upon that roue oath. I suggest you remember that the next time I call you ! I am in need of the services of your kindred professionally. '' Joseph Conrad said a tip of delight in his spokesperson.

'' For the blood oath we are at your service. How may we serve you to riposte the blood oath ? '' The vox asked.

'' I need you to decimate that illegitimate child 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 world-beater, therefore eliminate him and your clan will be more than than rewarded. There are several thousand tetsons of land around yours. If I am king I am for certain that quite a few hundred of those tetsons would suddenly be awarded to your kin group as a thanks. '' Conrad said though his words did n't seem to carry very much emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by just nobles than you. Know this ; if betrayal is a piece of this deal then your death will be extremely dense and abominable. '' The voice responded.

Joseph 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 throw a movement on him. Smiling an evil grin he thought they were his to command as long as he held control of their land. Besides he thought even bravo were vulnerable to arm fire !

The leader of the Ocicat kin group grimly shook his head ; there was naught but dissembling behind that one's Book. Sighing they had no selection at present. His spy had worked for a almost half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal clan Male. Still they had n't received any tidings of where the ownership report 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 drawing card had to resolve who would go on this foreign mission. They had the well assassins on the planet. Even the panther 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 last.

Both combatants came in and bowed to the leader then took a posture against each early. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each other starting with discombobulate weapons. Both failing that, they pulled forgetful steel as they again advanced slashing and poke. 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 battler moved to anticipate attack only to be rebuffed and beat back to the bulwark. A brusque blade at the pharynx and a dagger across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the gravid combatant opened their limb to await death 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 person nodded as the victor removed their headland and face covering. `` You are the victor ; you therefore are awarded the mission. '' As the cover came off it revealed a fiery headed female person that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not fail you or the clan. If I do I shall accept the consequences of that unsuccessful person. '' The female person told the loss leader.

'' I realize this daughter though with the shortness of the clan, all will be accepted back, nonstarter or not. '' Sighing the leader went on to explain at the questioning feel on her aspect. `` We have lost many in the last-place four quants. You are the last of the drawing card shaver. If the clan loses you, then the kin will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a failure, the clan member will not be killed but teach the others of their failure so that it will not bechance again. ''

'' Padre ? What of the honor of the kinship group ? '' The female asked.

'' The honor of the clan is a very very well thing indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are dead then what of the pureness would survive ? '' The loss leader asked the wide eyeball female.

bow the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not intend to fail. I will defeat the one that is the assignment and return. Soon we shall have got all our land returned to us. ''

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



flyer watched as Mikos and at least fifty others left the palace. In all they had found well over forty thousand twist. broadside could only shake his head the amount of metre all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a consequence later a tired, all-encompassing smile on his face. `` We ran two separate sweeps with two crews. We got at least xc nine percent of them. It will take a concentrated scan to get the rest but I think we made it a hell of a lot safer than it was. ''

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

Roth walked up a here and now later as Mikos gave his report card apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The work you did Lieutenant Colonel has made the Palace and Central the secure spot on the planet right now. ''

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

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

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

'' I just wish I had more military officer like the two of you. '' card told both of them.

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

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

'' well sir, uh ... it 's about Sergeant First class Theta. '' Mikos started.

Federal Reserve note turned more toward Mikos trying to work out out where this was going. `` Yes ? What about her ? ''

'' Well sir, I am of membership now that I may assume a indorse wife. '' Mikos replied.

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

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

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

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

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to contain her as a mate I can not further 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 pit kind of shit are you two talking about ? '' Bill asked confused now.

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

'' That 's the with child load of crap I 've ever heard. '' peak told both of them.

Roth sighed how could he excuse it to a non armed forces mind ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one clip this was allowed a very, very long time ago. The distraction proved to be far too much imperativeness on the both of them. It even became so detrimental that huge identification number of military officer were lost in a short time as were their checkmate. This rule was instated to dissuade that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to make her an police officer ? Why did n't you say that in the first base shit place ! God ! This going around the long way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the males before him banknote warned. `` This had better be the last time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the time for games ! ''

A Brobdingnagian smile lit up Mikos face when Bill finished his finale financial statement. Then he stood back when Philip Roth gave him a look.

'' Sir making her an military officer is all very well and well but is she ready ? '' Roth asked a come to feeling on his face. `` You know sir you could piddle her the lowest policeman 'til you felt she was prepare for in high spirits dictation responsibilities. ''

peak thought a mo then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the lowest rank of officer ? '' Bill asked ineffectual to consider of a membership lower than back lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a warrantee Officer. It is usually reserved for higher ranking enlisted that are made officers not unlike you are making her one. '' Philip Milton Roth said a look of backup coming to his grimace.

'' Alright, make her this stock-purchase warrant policeman, and then you can direct her as a mate. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a squire. '' Bill said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

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

Both Roth and Bill shook their heads, god ! They had both forgotten the authority and foolishness of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't remember 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 billhook called ahead. pecker 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 stock almost as tired as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to secure central.

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

'' Oh good ! Finally he can do far 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 ensure program line. I am gladiola that I have personnel such as you two, indorsement officer Theta. Keep up the goodness work ! '' Bill finished as they had entered command and was now in the room with her.

turn, her lip hanging unfold what happened next caught her even More off guard. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my endorsement first mate, to bond our clans together. ''

Theta tried to utter but nothing was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too much ! Turning to Bill she started to thank 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 world was spinning as she felt Mikos blazon go around her as everything went melanise .
