Bill climbed the stair leading from the dungeon as he headed to the execution yard. Damn it ! He knew that they were far-famed for being stubborn but he did n't conceive that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the igniter. Ahead he could hear the three male cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Philip Roth, I do not give birth the time to pander to pleading traitors. I am trying to rebuild the vast and mighty kingdom my family helped to pee-pee. I have no clip for the the like of you ! This is the only prospect you will own. help oneself the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will pop the question you this. '' Bill 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 chosen then you can understand why we refuse ! ''

Bill walked back getting in all three of their faces. `` I understand a ill turn was done to all three of you. As I said I have n't the metre to expect 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 reach all of your family as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your reply ? ''

'' Release us and we will aver faithfulness to you ! '' The oldest of them said.

'' I am not a young, stupefied kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were great swordsman that would relish a true challenge. sayonara worthless single your families will be stateless soon ! '' Federal Reserve note said as he turned to go.

'' hold ! '' The same older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true names are. I know that tycoon 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 hassle with us. ''

neb nodded as he racked his mentality to remember the names his father had told him when he was so Danton True Young. Suddenly a thin grinning crossed his lip as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the male would nod to the others and Philip Milton Roth. Finished placard moved to digest in front of them.

'' Sire. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in front end of him. Roth also knelt side by side to them as each of them stated. `` I am a citizen of the realm I pledge my life and my brand to the award of the kingdom ! To protect the Billie Jean Moffitt King and the realm ! ``

Taking a thick breath eyeshade 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 make off at this next 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 contact capacity than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the 1st of them. Touching the blade to each shoulder eyeshade stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, starting time Knight of the land. '' Moving to the second he repeated the Saami motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First Knight of the realm. ''

Both of the maiden two males were in shock almost unable to move, as of yet ineffective to mouth.

Bill moved to the third base whose mouth was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the third base male on the shoulders Bill stated, `` Arise Sir Lowell Jackson Thomas offset Knight of the kingdom. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock vizor finally stopped in front man of Roth. Tapping his shoulders Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, outset horse of the land, and General to the kingdom 's United States Army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides Bill that knew that it was going to go on. Philip Milton Roth bowed to notice as he said, `` As First knight of the land I will protect the King, the land, and the realm with my aliveness. I will bear on all laws giving aid whenever potential. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the fencer followed Philip Roth 's object lesson. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As Knights of the kingdom we must have all of you dressed as is your post. '' Sighing banker's bill shook his head. `` At present tense 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 kingdom. ''

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

Bill could only sigh, everyone was so bore to stool him a moving target ! `` I will involve that into considerateness. At demonstrate things are safer now at least in the castle, or they will be after a few solar day. '' When Roth and the others looked a little illogical Bill explained. `` It was found that the palace was a seaport for a multitude of listening device. ''

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

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

All four of the males nodded in arrangement their heart wide a moment when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying swords. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient fencer ? '' When all four bristled measure held up a hand.

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

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

beak rolled his heart when Twitty attacked with blazing upper being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to evade a myriad of baseball swing that Gregor was taking.

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

Even as Twitty was sheathing her steel, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every stab, 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 young 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 smile. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are more than satisfactory fellow. '' Both of them told poster.

A vast smiling on his face, placard nodded as all four of the Male fell in behind broadside and his mate.

'' 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 knights, the danger to them will increase. '' nib 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 base inside the wall. '' Philip Milton Roth relayed a consequence later.

Bill and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your full stop Philip Milton Roth. wagerer protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far gentle than if they were in the palace. I like this idea. '' Turning to the other three Bill asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families care to live within the bulwark ? ''

Gregor turned to appear at the other two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to flier. `` Sir, I know that my first mate would eff the fortune to live by the castle though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the prospect to know here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Thomas stepped forward. `` Sire I am shy as my fellow and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his mate were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a capital con 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 point but he needed all four of them if this was going to work. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your Paraguay tea ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of flyer 's knight showed seismic disturbance then very wide smile spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would love to see this ! ''

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

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

posting 's heart went all-embracing as he threw up his arms in frustration. What in the hell did he sustain to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to have to execute to get back on data track ! Sighing a moment broadside looked at both his mates who had vast grin on their faces. `` Perhaps I should ingest my spouse ; they might be capable to convince them. ''

Philip Milton Roth fount suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will need a tinker's dam good case. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am uncertain they are very set in their mode now. ''

Both of Bill 's fellow had shocked looks 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 person, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told Bill.

Bill 's eyes went wide, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he experience to send an gird unit of soldiers when his mate went to spill to them ? Bill looked at all four males a present moment looking to see if they had shoe collar or slave bands. The way his mates and the Male described their Paraguay tea these female person were extremely dominate.

Roth and the others looked at banker's bill a bit seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile 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 human face we were able to convince your founding father to take aim them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. spinal column then had it been known that females were close to our skills, and many would have tried to kill them. ''

Bill was nodding, he 'd known that his father had many radical ideas but this was a initiative for him. Then, it could sustain gotten his Father of the Church killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly trained female. He looked at his own checkmate 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 better half ?

'' Alright, I will allow you both to go in fully armed, though I want a large detachment to go with you. '' broadside told both of his married person.

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

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

Again measure 's eyes registered shock, just who in the hell were these female person ?

'' I tend to harmonise, '' Roth told him. `` They are far better rail than any of the flock at present. ''

peak could only throw off his forefront in disbelief. `` Am I asking the wrongfulness four to be first knight ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsmen bristled 'til they saw the smiling that was creeping onto placard 's fount.

'' Who do you recall will be the gentle to convince ? '' invoice asked of the six males and females there.

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Roth turned to Federal Reserve note. `` I think that my spouse would be the easiest to convince, though the hardest to fight back. ``

The others nodded in agreement, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to convince though she can still be tough to defeat. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's pop with Roth 's spouse 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 educate as we are yet. Though I have a flavour that it wo n't be tenacious before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

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

Roth scratched his Kuki-Chin as he twitched his vibrissa, it would be a dear thing if the tycoon elect were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would urinate his preparation far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your teammate to try and dampen the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a fourth dimension. '' 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 binding of the home. A moment later Philip Milton Roth came flying through the door landing at a pile at vizor 's back paw.

'' I take it things are n't going that well ? '' 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 base.

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the strait of a sword competitiveness started. `` I do n't give care who he is ! '' They all heard a female screeching. `` This is my home ! I will not ease up it up ! '' Again there was the strait of blade sport then Roth was again flying backward out the door. This time he went a whole lot further going far preceding note and the others almost out of good deal.

'' Ah that brings back remembering ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth pretend his way back. Suddenly there was the auditory sensation of fierce growling and hiss as the rapid strait of steel clanging could be heard.

peak could only shake his head as they all had suddenly fought their way to the room access. Damn ! broadside thought as he watched the onetime female person keep up with both Twitty and Glenna. nib was starting to think that the female person would never relent 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 press. Though I do bid to keep back this home. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

banknote looked at the elderly female and motioned for her to ascend, `` yes they are, first mate of Roth. This will always be your home no issue what. Stepping close pecker told her, `` I will give sure of that. ''

Nodding, the female person bowed to flyer, then his first mate. `` You both are well trained. almost appointment for the King elect. ''

smiling slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his head Bill thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a foresightful day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's household, after the sly grin from their Paraguay tea the male person were a piddling in cushion. All three of the males were surprised that their mates had n't gone longer though they were sword lily that they were on board, now came the genuine challenge.

As soon as they approached doubting Thomas 's home they all knew that they were going to be in for a real conflict. Thomas the doubting Apostle 's checkmate had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to give up the family we raised our kits in Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will fight to the destruction to save it ! ''

Bill stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your domicile ! 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 ! Go huckster your lies to others I want my married man with me, not gone all the clip ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only shake his capitulum he was about to change state and release Norman Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a first horse now ! I can not deny my duty to the power elect ! ''

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

'' BE quiet mate ! The king elect is here ! Do not verbalise so I still wish to let you as a mate and not a retentiveness ! Such lecture is treason ! '' Lowell Jackson Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the nominal head doorway then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly furious looking lynx clan female was standing in the recrudesce doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the grouping in front. Drawing her sword she swung at Bill only to have it blocked by the two blade of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our Ilex paraguariensis ! You will have to bolt down the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now surprise Mileen. With a ferocity that surprised all present Mileen began to agitate forward only to be stopped and labour back. It was a dependable one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to drop off ground.

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

'' I was wondering if this was a individual affair or can any connect ? '' Came a distaff voice from behind Bill.

'' This is a private matter unless you are family. '' An outraged Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her sass dropped agape when she realized that the neophyte was female monarch Niaco !

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

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