Bill 's eyes went wide as he walked to Dylan Thomas 's first mate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little uncertain as he grasp the female lynx 's brass tilting it upward to stare into her eyes. `` By the swell feline ! It is you ! ''

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

Releasing her Bill replied, `` They do a great many strange thing there. Had it not been for the brain shield I might throw gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their man is zilch like ours that is for sure. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with blanket eyed wonder and gawp mouths at the familiarity between the two. Thomas of form was the most offend, he 'd no estimate that his mate had known the king elect yearn before now. `` Uh ... '' Thomas tried to start. `` Alright I am at a complete loss mate. You both know each former ? ''

Mileen took her mates face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes Paraguay tea, when he was still an older kit. For a forgetful time after his mother had passed, I was his fellow traveller you might say. A few months after this I met you, with a mate I was no longer able-bodied to look to St. Ambrose. ''

'' Until I am crowned I prefer that you refer to me by my earth name. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the time being I am simply Bill, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Philip Roth walked up a Brobdingnagian smile on his nerve, `` I still think that you should go through with the coronation. ''
account was nodding a moment then he walked past Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. throwaway also noticed that Niaco was doing a darn fine athletic field dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask pouf Niaco, why are you here placing yourself in peril. '' eyeshade 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 weak female person that you can throw out. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each other. I 'm surely that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` Superior power would easily overcome me. ''

Bill growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at Bill 's mitt. `` I do not find your levity at this situation or that of your refuge humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the berm, Bill softened quickly when she did not move and bowed her head.

'' My apologies king elect I can not take much more of being locked away in that place. I have yearned for the opened skies and land. please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the survive part whispered so low that only Bill heard it.

Giving Niaco another stern toilsome feel he said, `` Arise female monarch Niaco, spouse. ''

Rising, her head still bowed, a slow grin started to broadcast across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To answer your end question I had to come, it appears that the outer system satellite are trying to declare independence. Unless they gain financial support from the king they intend to be a offprint power in half a daycon. ''

"Damn it !"invoice growled at the sentiment that the outer system major planet were forcing his mitt so soon. `` I take it they were shady about many of the Recent decision you made ? '' note asked.

Niaco was nodding then she quietly stated, `` They almost went as far as accusing you of hiding behind me to get affair done. There was a comment from one existence in detail. They said that the king elect was afraid to rent charge. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide out on earth ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this death comment was really going to piss Bill off to no end.

Roaring in anger Bill turned to Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the strength of government note when he was infuriated and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` Alright ! Damn it ! stimulate them devise for my coronation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to crush this rebellion before it starts. The fools have become emboldened with the absence of a male monarch ! ''

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

'' I 'll need a hell of a lot more personnel office sir, if we are to finish on fourth dimension. At nowadays we only have the king 's chambers and all the rooms around it done. '' Mikos told him.

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

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may go away cardinal a little lean. '' Mikos replied.

'' curl it the hell down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all acquit ! '' 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 gestate out his orders.

gyration Bill walked to Roth, `` You can drop out your damn smiling Roth ! I am not well-chosen at all with things progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, Bill said, `` Have an armed accompaniment go with Niaco and call back her belonging. I want everything triple scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Philip Milton Roth 's oral fissure dropped open, triple scanned ! `` Are you sure sir ? Wo n't the poof get upset with this discourse ? ''

'' 'Til the danger is past EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the castle. '' Bill growled out.

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



In a palace like building one hundred hecksons away bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a fool and idiot his asinine brother had been. Caught and executed like a green thief ! That bastard son of Rex Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the stately family name like that !

An aid got a little too close as Conrad raged about the room and was soon flying backward through a rampart 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 mo Conrad suddenly pulled up an vicious smile dominating his features.

'' Call the Ocicat clan ! I believe they still have a debt of destruction they owe that bastard. Plus they still owe me a profligate oath for restoring their home. I intend to garner on it, unlike the early assassinator guilds they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his pharynx as his com tech made the necessity connections.

It was respective hours later when there was an answer to his outcry. A rasping voice came from the speakers. `` Who are you to call for the services of the Ocicat tribe ? Speak ; we are already cognisant of where you are. You will be drained within a fourth toton if your answer does not satisfy us ! ''

Joseph Conrad stopped pacing his eyes narrowing at the terror the voice had just issued. `` One would think that your organization and clan would already recognize who this is ! '' Conrad spitting with venom.

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

'' The Ocicat clan owes a blood oath to me for the restoration of their ancestral home. I intend to roll up upon that bloodline swearing. I suggest you remember that the succeeding time I call you ! I am in need of the services of your clan professionally. '' Conrad said a hint of delight in his spokesperson.

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

'' I need you to carry off that bastard Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the king elect. If he ascends to the potty it will be even harder to get to him. I am the lawful power, therefore eliminate him and your kinship group will be More than rewarded. There are various 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 words did n't look to bear practically emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by better nobles than you. Know this ; if betrayal is a part of this deal then your end will be extremely slow and atrocious. '' The voice responded.

Conrad chuckled a moment he knew they were all bluster as long as he still held the possession to their land. No, they would n't make a move on him. Smiling an malefic grinning he thought they were his to command as long as he held control of their land. Besides he thought even assassins were vulnerable to weapons fire !

The leader of the Ocicat clan grimly shook his principal ; there was cypher but deceit behind that one's quarrel. Sighing they had no choice 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 word of where the ownership papers 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 leader had to resolve who would go on this mission. They had the effective assassins on the planet. Even the Jaguar kin group was still behind them though as the drawing card 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 death.

Both belligerent came in and bowed to the drawing card then took a stance against each other. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each early starting with thrown weapons. Both failing that, they pulled short swords as they again advanced slashing and thrusting. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the former on the arm ripping a gash in it.

Undaunted the heavier combatant moved to counter attack only to be rebuffed and drove to the rampart. A suddenly sword at the throat and a dagger across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the laboured fighter opened their arms to expect expiry that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the floor with the hilt of the brand effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

bow to the drawing card the male nodded as the master removed their head and case covering. `` You are the victor ; you therefore are awarded the commission. '' As the binding came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not fail you or the kin group. If I do I shall accept the effect of that failure. '' The female told the drawing card.

'' I realize this daughter though with the shortness of the kin, all will be accepted back, failure or not. '' Sighing the leader went on to explain at the questioning look on her look. `` We have lost many in the shoemaker's last four quants. You are the last of the leader nipper. If the clan loses you, then the kin group 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 go on again. ''

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

'' The laurels of the kin group is a very ticket matter indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are dead then what of the accolade would endure ? '' The leader asked the encompassing eyed female.

obeisance the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not signify to fail. I will vote down the one that is the assigning and return. Soon we shall take in all our land returned to us. ''

The loss leader watched as his daughter left for her mission. You are so naïve my daughter, even if we kill this king elect I fear that we will never be free of the one that held their terra firma.



Bill watched as Mikos and at least l others left the palace. In all they had found well over 40 thousand gimmick. account could only shake his head the amount of time all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a present moment later a tired, wide smile on his nerve. `` We ran two fork sweep with two work party. We got at least ninety nine percent of them. It will fill a contract scan to get the residue 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 nothing if not thorough. `` I know you have done an prodigious job. '' Bill smiled as the youthful officer snapped off a salute.

Roth walked up a moment later as Mikos gave his report apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The employment you did Lieutenant Colonel has made the palace and Central the dependable places on the planet right now. ''

Bill smiled as he looked on while Mikos finished giving his report. Turning toward banker's bill Mikos saluted, `` I will give back soon to pull up the balance of them sir. ''

'' You made a supreme effort Colonel, I ca n't ask for Sir Thomas More than that. '' note said as he watched first Philip Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew broad in surprise.

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

'' I just bid I had more officers like the two of you. '' broadside told both of them.

Mikos gulped as he saluted handbill again then stopped a second. `` Uh ... sir ? ``

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

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about Sergeant starting time Class Theta. '' Mikos started.

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

'' Well sir, I am of rank now that I may learn a minute wife. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you like to acquire her as your second. Are you needing my permission, '' posting asked.

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

Confused a consequence circular looked at Philip Milton Roth, `` alright just what in the hellhole am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to show, is that since he is an policeman, he ca n't take her as a first mate. Is that about it Mikos ? '' Roth asked.

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to withdraw her as a better half I can not promote her. I knew that the general does n't usually guide attention of these things. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the hell kind of shit are you two talking about ? '' Bill asked confused now.

'' It is simple ruler of the military sir. An enlisted can not nor will not hire in becoming a partner with an policeman. '' Roth explained.

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

Philip Roth sighed how could he explicate it to a non armed services judgment ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one time this was allowed a very, very long time ago. The distraction proved to be far too much air pressure on the both of them. It even became so damaging that huge numbers of officeholder were lost in a abruptly time as were their married person. This rule was instated to deter that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to make believe her an officeholder ? Why did n't you say that in the maiden damn place ! God ! This going around the long way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the male person before him Bill warned. `` This had adept be the lowest clock time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the time for games ! ''

A immense smile lit up Mikos face when Bill finished his final statement. Then he stood back when Roth gave him a look.

'' Sir making her an officer is all fine and well but is she ready ? '' Philip Roth asked a concerned look on his face. `` You know sir you could reach her the down officer 'til you felt she was make for higher bidding responsibilities. ''

Bill thought a import then nodded toward Philip Roth, `` just what is the blue social rank of officer ? '' banknote asked unable to think of a rank and file lower than irregular lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a stock-purchase warrant military officer. It is usually reserved for higher ranking enlisted that are made officers not unlike you are making her one. '' Roth said a look of relief coming to his face.

'' Alright, make her this justify police officer, and then you can take her as a mate. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your tribe has n't mated in almost a gallant. '' poster said as he eyed Mikos for his response.

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

Both Roth and vizor shook their capitulum, 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 think you have had very often. ''

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

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

'' You have the all pass for now. We will be returning within a few mo. I am appreciative of all the study that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' note told her trying to gauge her reaction through her tired expression.

'' Oh soundly ! 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 batten down command. I am gladiolus that I have personnel such as you two, warrant officer Theta. Keep up the good work ! '' notice finished as they had entered command and was now in the room with her.

Turning, her mouth hanging spread out what happened adjacent caught her even more off sentry duty. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my bit mate, to bond our kinship group together. ''

Theta tried to speak but nothing was coming out. She was an officeholder ? 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 var. of working as long as she had, and the lack of quietus and now all of this hit her at once. Then the world was spinning as she felt Mikos coat of arms go around her as everything went pitch blackness .
