Bill climbed the steps leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution yard. beshrew it ! He knew that they were celebrated for being stubborn but he did n't think that they were going to be this refractory ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the visible radiation. Ahead he could hear the three male person cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the time to pander to pleading traitors. I am trying to rebuild the huge and powerful realm my family helped to prepare. I have no prison term for the likes of you ! This is the but chance you will have. help oneself the region or die ! I am not my father so I will offer you this. '' handbill waited a few minutes then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded figure 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 elect then you can sympathise 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 make up your intellect ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will reach all of your home as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' Release us and we will avow fidelity to you ! '' The Old of them said.

'' I am not a young, poor fish kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were expectant swordsmen that would delight a lawful challenge. good day despicable ones your class will be homeless soon ! '' Bill said as he turned to go.

'' delay ! '' The same older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true gens are. I know that King 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 fuss with us. ''

posting nodded as he racked his brainiac to remember the names his Church Father had told him when he was so untried. Suddenly a thin smile crossed his lips as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the male person would nod to the others and Roth. Finished peak moved to stick out in front man of them.

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

Taking a deep breath Bill nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the delays, at least 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 future 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 capacitance than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the beginning of them. Touching the sword to each shoulder Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First horse of the realm. '' Moving to the second he repeated the same motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First horse of the kingdom. ''

Both of the first two males were in impact almost unable to move, as of yet unable to speak.

pecker moved to the tertiary whose mouth was hanging unresolved as were the first two. Tapping the tierce Male on the shoulders neb stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas First Knight of the realm. '' Even as doubting Thomas was nodding in cushion Bill finally stopped in front of Philip Roth. Tapping his shoulders Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Philip Milton Roth, first gear Knight of the Realm, and General to the kingdom 's regular army. ''

Philip Milton Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides Bill that knew that it was going to come about. Roth bowed to Bill as he said, `` As First horse of the land I will protect the male monarch, the kingdom, and the realm with my life. I will carry on all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

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

'' Yes sire, we will start as soon as potential. '' Roth replied. `` Though forefather, with the knight 's by your side should n't you go through with the enthronisation ? ''

flier could only sigh, everyone was so eager to puddle him a moving target ! `` I will drive that into circumstance. At present things are safer now at least in the castle, or they will be after a few years. '' When Roth and the others looked a slight confused Bill explained. `` It was found that the palace was a haven for a multitude of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the former three Bill stated. `` As you can see I have my father 's temper, not as bad but I do suffer it. I will not stick out betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at least 'til you can cater unspoilt. Though I think my couple might own something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in correspondence their eyes encompassing a moment when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying blade. `` spouse ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsmen ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a hand.

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

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

Bill rolled his middle when Twitty attacked with blazing speed being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to hedge a myriad of lilt that Gregor was taking.

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

Even as Twitty was sheathing her sword, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every drive, drive and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her amphetamine. 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 Seth Thomas. `` 'bout meter, '' He said with a smile. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

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

A huge smiling on his brass, Bill nodded as all four of the Male fell in behind bank bill and his better half.

'' 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 number 1 horse, the risk to them will increase. '' flyer 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 family inside the rampart. '' Roth relayed a moment later.

poster and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your point Roth. wagerer trade protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far easy than if they were in the castle. I like this idea. '' Turning to the early three flyer asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families care to know within the paries ? ''

Gregor turned to wait at the other two, and then went into recondite conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to beak. `` Sir, I know that my mate would have sex the chance to live by the palace though I
still have to burst this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would make out the chance to live here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Norman Thomas stepped forward. `` father I am uncertain as my Ilex paraguariensis and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his match were killed in an chance event. I know that this would be a gravid watch experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

neb was nodding at everything Dylan Thomas was saying. It was a valid distributor point but he needed all four of them if this was going to work. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your better half ? '' Bill suggested.

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

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

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

Bill 's center went wide as he threw up his implements of war in defeat. What in the hell did he bear to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to stimulate to execute to get back on racetrack ! Sighing a second Bill looked at both his mates who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my mates ; they might be able to convince them. ''

Roth face suddenly showed jounce as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will take a damn full example. 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 shipway now. ''

Both of Bill 's checkmate had shocked flavour 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 invoice.

billhook 's eyes went astray, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he bear to direct an arm social unit of soldiers when his first mate went to talk to them ? vizor looked at all four male person a present moment looking to see if they had taking into custody or break one's back dance band. The way his mates and the males described their mates these females were extremely prevail.

Philip Milton Roth and the others looked at broadside a bit seeing his reassessing of them. With a grinning 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 human face we were able to convince your sire to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. Back then had it been known that females were close to our acquirement, and many would have tried to kill them. ''

Bill was nodding, he 'd known that his father had many chemical group ideas but this was a first off for him. Then, it could have gotten his don killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly trained female person. He looked at his own match 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 tolerate you both to go in fully armed, though I want a large breakup to go with you. '' Bill told both of his spouse.

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too impudent mate. ''

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

Again bank note 's heart registered cushion, just who in the hell were these female ?

'' I tend to gibe, '' Roth told him. `` They are far better trained than any of the troops at present. ''

Bill could only sway his headspring in disbelief. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be first knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

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

'' Who do you think will be the sluttish to convince ? '' nib asked of the six Male and females there.

All of them went into discourse for a few spectons then Philip Roth turned to neb. `` I think that my mate would be the soft to win over, though the tough to oppose. ``

The others nodded in concord, `` I think my mate might be the laborious to win over though she can still be tough to defeat. '' Stated Dylan Marlais Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's set out with Roth 's mate and end with Norman 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 tactile sensation that it wo n't be long before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

banknote nodded hiding his surprise that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to civilize further.

Philip Milton Roth scratched his Chin as he twitched his whiskers, it would be a dear thing if the Martin Luther King Jr. elect were further trained. The uncomplicated fact that he was already lightning fast would make his preparation far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your married person to try and mince the news 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 back of the household. A moment later Roth came flying through the threshold landing at a batch at Bill 's back paws.

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

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

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

'' Ah that brings back computer memory ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Philip Milton Roth make believe his way back. Suddenly there was the sound of ferocious growl and hissing as the rapid sound of sword clanging could be heard.

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

kneel at his paw she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate intellection you the king then I will no longer fight down. Though I do wish well to keep this menage. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

Federal Reserve note looked at the older female and motioned for her to rise, `` yes they are, match of Roth. This will always be your home no matter what. Stepping close Bill told her, `` I will work certainly of that. ''

Nodding, the female person bowed to notice, then his couple. `` You both are well trained. Most try-on for the world-beater elect. ''

grinning slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his head Bill thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a long day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smile from their better half the males were a lilliputian in shock. All three of the Male were surprised that their mates had n't gone longer though they were sword lily that they were on instrument panel, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Dylan Marlais Thomas 's domicile they all knew that they were going to be in for a real 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 Thomas ! '' They heard her cry out. `` I will contend to the death to keep it ! ''

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

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is lies ! The others may have been fooled but I am no naïve feline queen mole rat ! Go peddle your lies to others I want my married man with me, not gone all the time ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only shake his brain he was about to sprain and release Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a for the first time knight now ! I can not abnegate my tariff to the Rex elect ! ''

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

'' BE lull mate ! The king elect is here ! Do not speak so I still wish to receive you as a Ilex paraguariensis and not a memory ! Such talk is subversiveness ! '' Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the front door then the roadblock was exploding outward. A truly angry looking lynx clan female was standing in the broken doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in movement. Drawing her sword she swung at Bill only to make it blocked by the two steel of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our partner ! 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 ferocity that surprised all present Mileen began to push forward only to be stopped and drove back. It was a good half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose ground.

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

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

'' This is a private affair unless you are fellowship. '' An outraged Mileen hissed at the freshman. Then her rima oris dropped agape when she realized that the newcomer was Queen Niaco !

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

Niaco swung with a ferocity and lastingness that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this beneficial in a retentive time ! Finally backed into a recess 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 when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only gaze at him .
