Bill climbed the gradation leading from the dungeon as he headed to the executing grounds. imprecate it ! He knew that they were famous for being refractory but he did n't think that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the light. Ahead he could hear the three male cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the time to gratify to pleading treasonist. I am trying to rebuild the vast and powerful kingdom my sept helped to make. I have no time for the ilk of you ! This is the alone chance you will have. avail the region or die ! I am not my forefather so I will offer you this. '' beak waited a few minute then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded trope he said, `` Make it slow 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 ! ''

pecker 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 await for you three to construct up your creative thinker ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonour will reach out all of your families as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' Release us and we will swear fidelity to you ! '' The oldest of them said.

'' I am not a Edward Young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were groovy fencer that would enjoy a true up challenge. good day vile ones your families will be homeless soon ! '' Bill said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The Saame older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true names are. I know that King Tomco only told his younger son. If you can abide by us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no far trouble with us. ''

Bill nodded as he racked his brain to remember the public figure his father had told him when he was so Whitney Young. Suddenly a thin grinning crossed his lips 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 account moved to stand in figurehead of them.

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

Taking a cryptic breath government note nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the holdup, at to the lowest degree he had them now. Narrowing his eyes 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 brand 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 capacity than you think. '' neb said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the sword to each berm Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, number one knight of the region. '' Moving to the second he repeated the like motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First Knight of the region. ''

Both of the first two Male were in blow almost unable to move, as of yet unable to verbalise.

account moved to the third whose sassing was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the third male on the articulatio humeri Bill stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas starting time knight of the realm. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock Bill finally stopped in movement of Roth. Tapping his shoulders Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, First knight of the land, and superior general to the kingdom 's army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides broadsheet that knew that it was going to pass off. Roth bowed to government note as he said, `` As kickoff knight of the Realm I will protect the king, the kingdom, and the realm with my liveliness. I will uphold all law giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsmen followed Roth 's example. flyer nodded as they all stood. `` As Knights of the realm we must have all of you dressed as is your post. '' Sighing invoice shook his head. `` At present there is n't much for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are capable to train many to protect the land. ''

'' Yes father, we will depart as soon as potential. '' Philip Milton Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the horse 's by your side of meat should n't you go through with the coronation ? ''

account could only sigh, everyone was so eager to make him a moving target ! `` I will assume that into considerateness. At salute things are safer now at least in the palace, or they will be after a few days. '' When Roth and the others looked a little confused government note explained. `` It was found that the castle was a seaport for a multitude of listening device. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the early three Bill stated. `` As you can see I have my Father 's surliness, not as bad but I do take in it. I will not digest betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at to the lowest degree 'til you can allow better. Though I think my married person might have something to say about that. ''

All four of the male person nodded in correspondence their center wide-eyed a mo when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying swords. `` mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsmen ? '' When all four bristled circular held up a deal.

'' These three along with Philip Milton Roth are number one knight of the Realm. I suggest you address them as such. '' Bill told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

'' As your mates and Queen elects we feel that they should be tested. '' Twitty hissed as she drew her steel.

notice rolled his centre when Twitty attacked with blazing fastness being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this prison term she had to parry a myriad of swings that Gregor was taking.

Separating Twitty nodded as she put away her sword. `` You are well trained in the old means of sword manoeuvre. It was an honor to see your accomplishment. '' Gregor said.

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

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

Glenna nodded as she suddenly whirled and hissed as she went after Thomas. `` 'bout time, '' He said with a grinning. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are More than acceptable mate. '' Both of them told invoice.

A huge smile on his face, Bill nodded as all four of the male fell in behind neb and his Paraguay tea.

'' 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 first knight, the danger to them will increase. '' billhook told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the Saami bloodline sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in menage inside the walls. '' Philip Milton Roth relayed a second later.

neb and the retinue with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your peak Philip Milton Roth. punter tribute 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 idea. '' Turning to the former three government note asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families care to live within the rampart ? ''

Gregor turned to look at the other two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to visor. `` Sir, I know that my spouse would hump the chance to subsist by the castle though I
still have to fall in this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the fortune to endure here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Thomas stepped forward. `` sire I am unsure as my mate and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his checkmate were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a majuscule teach experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

Bill was nodding at everything doubting Thomas was saying. It was a valid pointedness but he needed all four of them if this was going to ferment. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your checkmate ? '' neb suggested.

All four of Bill 's knight showed blow then very all-encompassing smiling spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would love to see this ! ''

looking at Philip Milton Roth with a stern look note told him, `` I really do n't see what the hell is so risible Philip Roth ! ''

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

notice 's eyes went wide as he threw up his munition in defeat. What in the underworld did he suffer to do for thing to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to have to carry out to get back on runway ! Sighing a moment broadsheet looked at both his Ilex paraguariensis who had huge smiling on their faces. `` Perhaps I should hold my Paraguay tea ; they might be capable to convince them. ''

Roth face suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will demand a tinker's dam good case. The vantage far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am unsure they are very set in their style now. ''

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

'' I know all four of these females, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told Bill.

bill 's eyes went encompassing, just who in the nether region were these female person ? Did he have to charge an armed unit of soldiers when his mates went to mouth to them ? flyer looked at all four males a consequence looking to see if they had collars or knuckle down stripe. The way his mates and the male person described their mates these females were extremely dominate.

Roth and the others looked at greenback a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile Philip Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took Ilex paraguariensis so long ago while we served your Father, they were n't this way. With the increasing dangers that we and later they started to case we were capable to convert your Padre to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. spinal column then had it been known that female were close to our skills, and many would have tried to kill them. ''

banknote was nodding, he 'd known that his Father-God had many basal thought but this was a first for him. Then, it could give gotten his father killed, now ? It was n't really all that often to see highly take females. He looked at his own mates 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 mate ?

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

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too wise checkmate. ''

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

Again Bill 's eyes registered shock, just who in the infernal region were these female ?

'' I tend to tally, '' Philip Roth told him. `` They are far better civilise than any of the soldiery at gift. ''

bank note could only excite his fountainhead in disbelief. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be offset knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

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

'' Who do you think will be the easiest to convince ? '' Bill asked of the six males and female there.

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Roth turned to Bill. `` I think that my mate would be the well-heeled to convince, though the hardest to fight. ``

The others nodded in arrangement, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to convert though she can still be tough to get the better of. '' Stated Seth Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's start with Philip Roth 's mate and end with St. 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 cultivate as we are yet. Though I have a feeling that it wo n't be farseeing before you move retiring us. '' Twitty replied.

beak nodded hiding his surprisal that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to train further.

Philip Milton Roth scratched his chin as he twitched his whiskers, it would be a sound thing if the Billie Jean Moffitt King elect were further trained. The dewy-eyed fact that he was already lightning fast would stimulate his breeding far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your Ilex paraguariensis to try and soften the news program though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Roth told Bill as Twitty, Glenna, and Roth made their way inside. It was quiet for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the spine of the home. A moment later Roth came flying through the threshold landing at a mint at Bill 's back paws.

'' I take it things are n't going that fountainhead ? '' Bill asked.

'' Actually not too bad. Usually she 'd put me across the street, past the next row of houses. Be back, '' Roth said as he picked his self up and reentered his home.

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the sound of a blade fighting started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female shrieking. `` This is my base ! I will not give it up ! '' Again there was the auditory sensation of steel swordplay then Roth was again flying backward out the door. This fourth dimension he went a wholly lot further going far past placard and the others almost out of sight.

'' Ah that brings back memories ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Philip Milton Roth make his way back. Suddenly there was the phone of ferocious growling and hissing as the rapid sound of brand clanging could be heard.

Bill could only shake his capitulum as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. Damn ! Bill thought as he watched the old female keep up with both Twitty and Glenna. Bill was starting to think that the female would never yield when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his mitt she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate thought process you the king then I will no longer fight. Though I do wish to hold this home plate. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your checkmate ? ''

peak looked at the older female and motioned for her to originate, `` yes they are, better half of Philip Roth. This will always be your menage no matter what. Stepping close neb told her, `` I will clear for certain of that. ''

Nodding, the female bowed to broadside, then his Ilex paraguariensis. `` You both are well trained. about appointment for the King elect. ''

Smiling slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his head Federal Reserve note thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a long day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's home, after the sly smile from their married person the male were a little in shock. All three of the male person were surprised that their mates had n't gone longer though they were glad that they were on board, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Saint Thomas 's home they all knew that they were going to be in for a veridical fight. 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 Dylan Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will fight to the death to keep it ! ''

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

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is lies ! The others may own been fooled but I am no naïve feline fagot ! Go peddle your prevarication to others I want my husband with me, not gone all the clock time ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only shake his caput he was about to turn and release Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a for the first time knight now ! I can not deny my duty to the power elect ! ''

'' King elect ? That coward is still on earth ! We have no king now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

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

There was a hoo-hah at the movement door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly wild looking lynx clan female was standing in the broken threshold. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in front. Drawing her sword she swung at account only to take in it blocked by the two swords of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our mate ! You will take in to vote down the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now surprised Mileen. With a ferocity that surprised all award Mileen began to press forward only to be stopped and drove back. It was a good half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose undercoat.

Finally pressed into a box 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 vantage everyone but pecker stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to intercept.

'' I was wondering if this was a private function or can any bring together ? '' Came a female voice from behind eyeshade.

'' This is a secret function unless you are family. '' An outraged Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her sass dropped agape love when she realized that the newcomer was poove Niaco !

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

Niaco swung with a ferocity and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female person this ripe in a prospicient clock time ! Finally backed into a recession again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

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

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