The full general stepped up to Bill a bit later. `` Sir, do you mean that the palace is safe enough now ? You really should be crowned to facilitate assuage the concern of all. ''

posting thought about it for a moment then told the superior general, `` No, at the nowadays moment with this new threat that is posed I really do n't. We still need to weed out all of the double-crosser. commencement though I am going to have to handle this job with the Felis onca clan. I know it would stabilise the kingdom more but with the constant attempt on my life, I think we should wait. Besides it would afford you the fourth dimension to find the other three. Do n't you agree ? ''

General Roth sighed as he suspected living with this new king was going to be anything but dull that was for trusted. `` I guess sir, though I am still not for sure that any of them will correspond to this. As I told you we all were glad just to do our duty, for the kingdom and your male parent. Though the allure of being a horse does vocalise adept, it also brings farther responsibilities. It is THOSE that I believe they will balk at. ''

'' Hmmm perhaps you 're right-hand Philip Milton Roth, maybe I should prevail upon their mother wit of obligation ? '' Bill suggested.

Roth was scratching his head word staring at account with a suspicious look. `` Uh huh. Just how do you presume to do that ? ``

'' Oh, something I remember my founding father telling me. I 'll just fuddle them in the dungeon 'til they agree. '' broadside said nonchalantly.

Roth began to smile widely shaking his forefront. Yes he remembered when posting 's father had used the Lapplander tactics
though for different understanding. He 'd been worried that they might hire themselves out to his foeman. He had therefore summarily thrown all four of the swordsman in the dungeon. As he remembered it was far worse back then. No where nearly as overnice as they were now.

'' Yes I think it might work, though I have to ask. Are you thinking of also including me in that grouping ? '' Philip Roth asked.

bank note thought a moment then said,"I might if you continue to refuse Roth, I just might. ''

'' Lucky for you I am not against the approximation. I might be able to convince one of them, though the other two, I am not so indisputable of. The one I hope will bring together with me could actually convert the others to profess. I would n't hold my breather though. '' Sighing Philip Milton Roth shook his chief, `` I am afraid that you just might take in to throw them in the dungeon. ''

placard began to smile, `` I was thinking about the same matter. The affair is though I am not sure just how many men I should send. hint ? ''

Philip Milton Roth seemed to be lost in thinking a mo then looked up. `` Might I suggest all of them ? I of track will lead them. They were and somewhat are still loyal to me. They parted style after your brother took over years ago ; it was n't under their terms either. I think they are still furious about that, all three of them have extremely long memories. ''

note smiled then nodded. `` Make it so, then as I said if they refuse switch them in the dungeon. Oh, not the new I but the honest-to-god one. You know the vermin infested ones. A short time there might convert them otherwise. ''

Roth smiled so the young one had indeed done his research, `` Very good sir. '' Roth headed for the door pulling his com as he started to bark orders.

Bill looked behind him at his teammate and soon to be Queens. Both of them had a smirk on their faces. `` You really think that they will agree ? '' Twitty asked a more amused feeling starting to dominate her brass.

'' I have to fit in and ask the same thing, '' Glenna said. `` These are after all the large sword masters of the kingdom. You really think they are going to agree with the brother of the king that threw them away, as if they were nothing ? No I think you are in for a long battle with them. ''

Sighing Bill replied, `` I am relying on their sense of award to overcome their ira. ''

'' Ha ! '' Twitty shouted. `` They are, please forgive me sir, they are males. pride is far too great in them for them to sweep over it. No I think they will fight claw and Fang to NOT help the kingdom. ''

Bill stared at both of them with a appalled look. Did they have so niggling faith in males ? `` So then I take it you also consider me within that group ? ''

Both Twitty and Glenna smiled widely as they both shook their heads no. `` You were taught to ignore pride and use your cognition to solve job, well most of the metre. '' Holding up her hired hand Twitty continued. `` Our world is a savage place as is the land and there are truly prison term that aggression is the only response. ''

Bill was shaking his head agreeing, `` So you agree with all of my decisiveness ? ''

Both females shook their brain no. `` Almost all of them yes we do, though the putting to death of the house mind seemed a little a good deal. ''

'' So the killing of double-crosser that would spill my origin is ok with you ? '' vizor growled in a low dangerous voice. Turning he watched as several of the retainer made their way through the room.

'' NO ! '' Both of the female hissed back. `` We could get used her to find others. Now she is but a bad computer memory. '' Glenna growled also.

Bill smiled as he grabbed both of the female person around their cervix. `` I am not to be questioned in front of the crushed caste. I can forgive this for now ; but I do not expect it to bechance again though. I hope I am making myself clear on this. '' Both females smiled as they nodded as well they could. Lowering them to the floor both started to make vibrant sounds and rub against Bill. `` We have to make ready for this coming together. Though I do not expect them to not add artillery, I do n't expect a lot of their followers either. ''




The future day poster and both of his mates were on their way to the same minuscule village that his third mate was in. Finally on the outskirt they stopped awaiting the arrival of the Felis onca clan 's leader.

It was one quarter of a toton later that they heard the glide slope of another transport. Pulling up to stop a trade good distance from them Bill moved closer feeling that the kindred had a magic trick up their arm.

'' I thought you wished to parley. I advise you right now that if I do not return, the devastator canon is trained on your home. I know that you do n't wish to lose almost all of the clan. '' measure spit into the com that was tuned to the one the Jaguar kin had.

A suspire erupted from the com, `` you truly are n't like your brother. We will meet you. ''

A few here and now later they were beside each other. `` Hail Panthera onca clan ! '' invoice gave the traditional greeting.

The loss leader 's eyes went wide as he replied, `` Hail lion clan and king elect. It is good to hear one as young as you respect the old style. ''

Bill smiled. `` I was taught by my Fatherhood for a time though many take me a love child, as my mother was of a unlike kinship group. ``

The leader nodded, `` We are all conversant with the story. We ourselves can not dispute this. Many of us are also of two clans. '' Here he looked at his daughter. Sighing, the leader shook his head, `` I am afraid that it will be some clock time before my girl can move her limb again. Though I do thank you for the honor of sparing her lifetime. ''

'' I take it your doctor are still unable to reset her non-broken arm ? '' pecker asked.

A ball over look appeared on the loss leader 's face as he nodded. `` This is rightful a corking acquirement you have shown I am sure they will visualize it out one day. ''

'' If I may I can reset it ; though I will expect something for it. '' flyer replied.

Again the leader 's eyes went wide as he bowed to Bill and motioned him to his girl.

As Bill drew nearer the immature female started to hiss and growl. banknote slapped the hell out of her. `` If you attempt to bite, claw or kill I will do far much sorry ! '' Grabbing the arm that was in a sling nib twisted slightly as there was a sickening pop then the female screamed. backing away Bill watched as the female 's face registered surprise then shock.

'' She should be ticket in another day. That was a childlike matter to fix. '' Bill told the leader.

A new esteem started to prove on the leader 's boldness. `` I have n't seen such skill since your beginner was king ! That brings back many memories, your beginner was a great king, a near Friend. '' Bowing low the leader stated, `` The Felis onca kinship group would be honored to help you sir, king elect. There will not be any other attempts by the clan on your life. ''

With that both of the startled Felis onca kin group extremity left. note turned to his mates who were nodding. `` They had obviously planned skullduggery but shut it down. Mate, think it wise to let them go ? ''

'' We may be somewhat savage but honor always comes low gear. I will echo it again, I DO NOT like legerdemain. They were n't betrayer they hold award almost as high as I do. Today I was hoping for an alliance, I believe I have one. '' Sighing nib thought well that 's two, no three down only everything else to go !

Returning to the castle Bill had a sudden thought as he called Mikos. `` I need you and a technical school to come to the palace. We may have cleared it of traitors but knowing my uncles, they have devices in seat in case the traitors failed. ''

'' I 'll be there in a specton. It should n't aim too long on each elbow room, though the whole palace will admit a few hours. Any office we should set out ? '' Mikos asked.

'' Yes, I suggest the power 's bed chamber. Then move outward from there. '' neb responded.

'' Yes sir. We 'll be there soon. '' Mikos said.

Bill and his first two mates sat outside waiting for Mikos and the tech to appear. Within moments Mikos and the technical school had entered and were scanning.

'' Alright sir, bedchamber started anything I should look for ? '' Mikos asked.

Opening a channel on the individual com Bill told him, `` secretiveness modality. ''

'' Affirmative sir. '' Mikos said and switched over to a secure personal line of credit. `` Yes sir, '' Mikos replied a moment later.

'' I do n't require you to say anything. I am sure that there are listening twist all over the castle. Find all of them
use both the narrow and wide-eyed circle breadth locater. If I know my uncles and a few others they have the palace loaded with them. take away all from the bedchamber and adjoining rooms. After that I 'll give notice you as to further action. ''

As quietly as he could Mikos replied, `` Yes sir, I 'll apprise you of total. ''

circular smiled as he clicked off. `` I guess we wait for a bit 'til ... '' About that fourth dimension Bill 's com went off a call from Niaco.

'' King elect, I have far news, '' came her interpreter.

'' Yes pansy Niaco, anything you can supply before I ascend the throne will avail. '' account said, observing custom of her being the nance 'til such meter as he was crowned.

'' It appears that many of the magnanimousness are starting to grow a little dying. There are many muttering that you will not rise the potty 'til such time that they have lost their holdings. I have started spreading rumors that you are clearing the traitors before you do. It has n't served to allay many of their fear. I am afraid that you may have to accept the crown sooner than you wish. '' Queen Niaco told him.

'' Ah ! My dear female monarch what you have said is after all nothing but the truth. I believe that you might want to start hearsay that the male monarch chosen is upset that they are ignoring you. You may only be the world-beater but you still wield at least half the powerfulness of the land. If I may indicate, '' billhook asked her.

'' By all means king elect. '' Niaco responded.

'' Perhaps you should let it slip that you heard that the king chosen will take the streets flowing with blood. Before all of this over, there will be far more executions the way thing are going. Also let it perhaps slip that the magnate elect would n't want a generous fate of that pedigree to be that of the nobility. '' Bill told her a wry grinning on his sass.

Niaco the queen mole rat tried to stifle her chortle as it slipped out. `` I do consider that would be a most excellent idea king elect. 'Til we see each former again, hunt well husband to be ! ''

Both Twitty and Glenna smiled hugely. `` I have to say she will make a fine plus to our pride married man. '' Twitty told him.

'' Yes, I find I am starting to like her more and more with each passing half minton ! '' Glenna said as her grinning grew bigger.

banknote eyed both of his match with suspicion, what had both of them been up to ? Another thing, was his next mate and tabby also in on it ?

It was perhaps half a toton later that note saw Philip Roth and a Hades of a lot of troops leading three men to the rook. beak 's side took on a huge grin, so it appeared that they had refused after all ! Perhaps a few days in the dungeon would make them more conformable. Then a sudden thought hit Bill causing him to shake off his head. They had been there for almost a calendar month before his father had threatened to decapitate them with dishonor that made them finally agree. Stroking his whisker Bill nodded his psyche yes it just might form !

Bill was about to point to the keep when he got a outcry from Mikos. `` quiet fashion. ''

'' Affirmative, '' bill replied. `` What did you come up ? ''

In a hushed voice Mikos told him. `` We found 45 in the low sweep, another 25 in the second. I fear that there may be to a greater extent. May I bring in another two techs ? One with another carpet sweeper device and one for retrieval. At the rate we are going I am afraid it is going to assume a hebdomad just to do the two rooms around the sleeping room. ''

Bill growled at the perfidiousness and deception that his uncles had and were using. `` Alright, I suggest three more. I assume you have been documenting ? ''

'' Yes sir. Though I have to say it appears that there are at least four different character of listening twist here. Should I try a trace back to the literal attender ? '' Mikos asked after a moment of pondering.

'' At present see if you can get a direction on them. If you can trace without them noticing, then endeavor to. Under no setting speculation near where you suspect they may be. These are obviously heroic and lower caste fall guy we are dealing with here. If you do get a emplacement on my uncle Conrad, I am to bed immediately ! '' Bill advised.

'' Yes sir ! '' Mikos said before he switched off.

Sighing Bill could only shake his head sadly. So many had sunk so low into the depths of deception it made him sick to opine that accolade meant so little now. Growling flier punched a wall, not practically longer ! If he had to threaten M with execution to stop this he would !

Both Twitty and Glenna backed away a bit seeing the foul mood that he was in. It was n't often that Twitty had seen him like this but when he was she could only devolve on it out.

growling measure walked quickly with a determined footstep. Reaching the dungeon Bill roared, `` Where are they ? Where are the traitors ? '' Bill said as he knocked various safeguard against the paries making his way to the three swordsman 's cells.

Arriving at the first-class honours degree cell poster growled at the male within. `` Who are you ? '' The male said growling back fiercely at neb.

Stepping up to the cell peak reached to the male leaning against the threshold made of bars. Punching the male person in the breast, flyer roared as the male flew across the elbow room into the back up wall. Still growling Bill said, `` I was told that you refused to help the realm. ''

The male person got off the flooring and roared back at billhook, `` The realm I will facilitate, the world-beater chosen ? No, I ... ''

'' mulct ! '' Bill roared. `` Guards take him to the yard ! I have n't the time for them to rot here. Tie this traitor to the block I 'll be there soon and strike his unworthy head ! '' Stepping around the corner Bill looked at the other two. `` I take it you also pass up ? amercement take them also. I have no time to speak to traitors ; I 'll be there soon to clean them of their traitorous thoughts ! ''

All three of the Male started to yell at Bill. `` Just who do you think you are ? Only the top executive and king elect can society our exe ... ''

banker's bill whirled getting in the brass of the one he 'd punched to the bulwark. `` I am the Billie Jean King elect ! My father was King Tomco, my brother was King Tobias ! When I am crowned I will be the next, you filthy traitor ! ''

All three of the men were hush a moment then renewed their shouting as several troops took them out of the keep.

Roth looked on a short come to as he came and laid a hand on Bill 's shoulder ; only to find that he was flying through the air. Landing on his foundation Roth hissed at visor when he saw the looking at of anger and hatred on Bill 's face. `` Are you actually going to kill them or is this a ploy ? '' Philip Roth asked.

'' I am through playacting and dancing around with traitors and those that do not know how they want to go. As of this present moment if they refuse a second sentence then they are no more. I am trying to rebuild this with child kingdom my ascendant worked so hard to make. I will be damned if I will let it die because of those that do not cognise. '' circular snarled out.

Philip Roth stood nodding his head affirmatively. `` I shall babble to them. I am quite sure that they do not wish well the dishonour of beheading. ''

Taking a vast appeasement breath Bill leaned back against the wall. `` Yes I suggest that you do. I am not in the humor to hear plea or begging this is their only chance. After what was found at the palace I am way past that ! ''

'' Yes sir. I will tell them you will be along in two spectons. I will also evidence them that you are not playing. '' Roth sighed shaking his head. `` I just hope that they come to their sens. I lost far too many in the final civil war when I was with your Father of the Church. ''

nib nodded as he watched Roth ascend out of the wickedness, dank, and putrid older dungeon. bill shook his head turning to look at his mates. Both their eye were huge, they both could swear that their mate Bill had been in the eye of a pedigree luxuria killing then just as suddenly was normal again ! Neither of them had ever seen anyone with that much ascendency !

Both kneeled, `` Though you have named us as your mates note, '' here Glenna touched his paw. `` I Glenna Nox accept your title and I claim you also as my mate. ''

neb 's centre went widely as Twitty also took his other paw, `` I Twitty Glax accept your claim and call you also as my fellow. ''

account got a huge smile he 'd forgotten about their accepting of his claim. With all that had been going on the last week it had n't been that hard.

'' Now that we have that in order, '' Twitty stated. `` When do you consider that we might bulge having our maiden liter for you Sire ? ''

'' Yes Sire, though you know that we will remain as your spectator 'til we deliver. Then we will consume to think of a nanner to see them so we can watch over you. '' Glenna added.

Bill looked at both of them with jar, kits ? This soon ? Throwing up his arm in giving up he shook his head as he headed for the execution yard .
