invoice climbed the steps leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution yard. Damn it ! He knew that they were famous for being stubborn but he did n't think that they were going to be this obstinate ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the light. Ahead he could hear the three male cursing and struggling to get relinquish.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the time to pimp to pleading two-timer. I am trying to rebuild the vast and powerful kingdom my family helped to clear. I have no time for the like of you ! This is the only chance you will experience. Help the kingdom or die ! I am not my father so I will offer you this. '' bank bill waited a few second 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 elect 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 make up your minds ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will progress to all of your household as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' passing us and we will swear fidelity to you ! '' The older of them said.

'' I am not a Whitney Young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were slap-up fencer that would savor a reliable challenge. adios wretched ones your families will be homeless person soon ! '' poster said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The same onetime man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. William Tell us what our true name calling are. I know that King Tomco only told his youthful son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no farther trouble with us. ''

Federal Reserve note nodded as he racked his mastermind to commemorate the names his father had told him when he was so Thomas Young. Suddenly a thin grinning crossed his lips as he leaned to each of the swordsman whispering to each. As he moved from each the male would nod to the others and Roth. Finished bank bill moved to resist in front of them.

'' forefather. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in front of him. Roth also knelt next 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 realm ! To protect the power and the land ! ``

Taking a deep breathing spell 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 side by side character. Pulling his father 's steel that he 'd strapped on before he made for the prison house, he stepped to all four of the swordsman kneeling.

'' I desire all four of you in a far more reaching capacitance than you think. '' banker's bill said as he moved before the inaugural of them. Touching the blade to each shoulder Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, first gear Knight of the kingdom. '' Moving to the second he repeated the same move. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First horse of the realm. ''

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

Bill moved to the third whose mouthpiece was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the third male person on the shoulders Bill stated, `` Arise Sir doubting Thomas First Knight of the realm. '' Even as Lowell Thomas was nodding in shock Bill finally stopped in front of Roth. Tapping his shoulders Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, beginning 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 former one besides Bill that knew that it was going to happen. Philip Milton Roth bowed to eyeshade as he said, `` As commencement horse of the kingdom I will protect the king, the realm, and the realm with my life. I will uphold all natural law giving aid whenever possible. My Liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsmen followed Roth 's illustration. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the realm we must have all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing Bill 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 kingdom. ''

'' Yes father, we will start as soon as possible. '' Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your side of meat should n't you go through with the coronation ? ''

Bill could only sigh, everyone was so tidal bore to stimulate him a moving target ! `` I will take that into consideration. At present things are safer now at least in the castle, or they will be after a few days. '' When Philip Milton Roth and the others looked a minuscule confused notice explained. `` It was found that the castle was a harbor for a plurality of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the other three banknote stated. `` As you can see I have my don 's temper, not as bad but I do cause it. I will not tolerate betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at least 'til you can provide safe. Though I think my mates might have something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in agreement their eyes wide a present moment when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying swords. `` mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the antediluvian swordsman ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a deal.

'' These three along with Philip Roth are first gear Knights of the Realm. I suggest you address them as such. '' note told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

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

greenback rolled his eyes when Twitty attacked with blazing swiftness being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this sentence she had to skirt a myriad of swings that Gregor was taking.

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

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

'' They are more than than acceptable mate. '' Both of them told measure.

A huge smile on his grimace, measure nodded as all four of the males fell in behind Bill and his mates.

'' I know that all of you have household now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are first horse, the peril to them will increase. '' notice told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the same dividing line sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in family inside the walls. '' Philip Milton Roth relayed a moment later.

vizor and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your compass point Philip Roth. Better protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also hold getting to them far easier than if they were in the palace. I like this melodic theme. '' Turning to the early three billhook asked. `` What say you three ? Would your kinsperson care to live within the walls ? ''

Gregor turned to look at the other two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to bill. `` Sir, I know that my checkmate would love the chance to hold out by the rook though I
still have to discontinue this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would do it the chance to live here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Norman Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Lowell Jackson Thomas stepped forward. `` father I am unsure as my match and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My old son and his mate were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a capital 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 pointedness but he needed all four of them if this was going to make. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your mates ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of bill 's knight showed shock then very wide smiles spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would get laid to see this ! ''

Looking at Roth with a stern look nib told him, `` I really do n't see what the perdition is so risible Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't gain that all four of us have strong fellow. I 'd make bold say that they are as inviolable as yours. '' Roth said after he 'd stopped chuckling.

billhook 's oculus went all-inclusive as he threw up his blazon in defeat. What in the hell did he have to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to possess to execute to get back on track ! Sighing a moment Bill looked at both his mate who had huge grinning on their faces. `` Perhaps I should choose my mates ; they might be capable to convince them. ''

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

Both of throwaway 's mates had shocked tone 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 female, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told bill.

greenback 's eyes went wide, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he bear to send an armed unit of soldiers when his mates went to utter to them ? Bill looked at all four males a mo looking to see if they had collars or slave isthmus. The way his mates and the Male described their Paraguay tea these females were extremely dominate.

Philip Milton Roth and the others looked at circular a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile Roth spoke up to explicate. `` Sir, when we took fellow so long ago while we served your Fatherhood, they were n't this way. With the increasing risk that we and later they started to face we were capable to win over your father to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. Back then had it been known that females were close to our accomplishment, and many would get tried to kill them. ''

bank bill was nodding, he 'd known that his beginner had many extremist ideas but this was a first for him. Then, it could cause gotten his Padre killed, now ? It was n't really all that a lot to see highly trained female person. 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 swordsmen 's Paraguay tea ?

'' Alright, I will allow you both to go in fully armed, though I want a great insularism to go with you. '' Bill told both of his mates.

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

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

Again billhook 's optic registered shock, just who in the the pits were these female ?

'' I tend to agree, '' Philip Milton Roth told him. `` They are far better condition than any of the troops at present. ''

Bill could only rock his head word in incredulity. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be 1st knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

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

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

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Roth turned to flier. `` I think that my mate would be the light to win over, though the hardest to push. ``

The others nodded in understanding, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to win over though she can still be tough to kill. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's start out with Roth 's Ilex paraguariensis and end with 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 feeling that it wo n't be prospicient before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

Bill nodded hiding his surprise that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to rail further.

Roth scratched his mentum as he twitched his hairsbreadth, it would be a good thing if the king elect were further trained. The unproblematic fact that he was already lightning fast would fix his grooming far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your mates to try and mince the news show though I am afraid that we may be here for a prison term. '' Philip Milton Roth told eyeshade as Twitty, Glenna, and Roth made their way inside. It was unruffled for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the cover of the domicile. A moment later Roth came flying through the door landing at a mess at Bill 's back paws.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the speech sound of a steel conflict started. `` I do n't give care who he is ! '' They all heard a female scream. `` This is my dwelling house ! I will not sacrifice it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword bid then Roth was again flying backward out the door. This time he went a whole lot further going far by account and the others almost out of sight.

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

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

Kneeling at his paws she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate thought you the king then I will no longer contend. Though I do wish to keep this domicile. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your fellow ? ''

flyer looked at the sure-enough female and motioned for her to get up, `` yes they are, mate of Philip Roth. This will always be your home no matter what. Stepping close throwaway told her, `` I will spend a penny certain of that. ''

Nodding, the female bowed to Bill, then his mates. `` You both are well trained. nearly fitting for the top executive elect. ''

smiling slyly at Philip Milton Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his read/write head notice thought, ‘ red cent this is going to be a long day indeed.'Almost the indistinguishable incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smile from their fellow the males were a little in shock. All three of the male were surprised that their mates had n't gone thirster though they were glad that they were on dining table, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Thomas 's place they all knew that they were going to be in for a real fight. Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the battlefront barricaded. `` I refuse to leave up the home we raised our outfit in Thomas ! '' They heard her outcry out. `` I will fight to the dying to keep it ! ''

note stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your household ! 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 felid queen ! Go vend your lies to others I want my married man with me, not gone all the time ! '' Dylan Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only throw off his psyche he was about to turn and release Lowell Jackson Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a outset horse now ! I can not refuse my duty to the king chosen ! ''

'' King elect ? That Sir Noel Pierce Coward is still on earth ! We have no king now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

'' BE quiet mate ! The world-beater elect is here ! Do not speak so I still wish to experience you as a mate and not a memory ! Such talk is treason ! '' doubting Thomas hissed back.

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

'' You will not harm our fellow ! You will feature 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 present Mileen began to push forward only to be stopped and ram back. It was a honorable one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose basis.

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 feel that she finally had an advantage everyone but Bill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to stop.

'' I was wondering if this was a private social occasion or can any link up ? '' Came a female voice from behind Bill.

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

Niaco drew her own brand as she advanced upon Mileen. `` near, it has been far too long since I have had a beneficial scrap ! That was my sis wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my byplay ! ``

Niaco swung with a violence and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this good in a long time ! Finally backed into a niche 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 when she recognized him. `` Saint Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
