Bill climbed the steps leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution of instrument yard. Damn it ! He knew that they were famous for being refractory but he did n't think that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the lighter. Ahead he could get wind the three males cursing and struggling to get gratuitous.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the time to pander to pleading double-crosser. I am trying to reconstruct the huge and sinewy kingdom my family helped to progress to. I have no time for the like of you ! This is the only chance you will have. aid the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will offer you this. '' neb waited a few minutes then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded anatomy 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 business leader 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 wee-wee up your intellect ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will reach all of your families as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

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

'' I am not a Whitney Young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were groovy swordsmen that would enjoy a straight challenge. adios unworthy ones your family unit will be homeless soon ! '' card said as he turned to go.

'' wait ! '' The Saami sometime man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our honest names are. I know that world-beater Tomco only told his jr. son. If you can honour us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no promote trouble with us. ''

Bill nodded as he racked his brain to remember the epithet his Church Father had told him when he was so young. Suddenly a sparse grinning crossed his lips as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the Male would nod to the others and Roth. Finished account moved to remain firm in forepart of them.

'' Sire. '' 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 kingdom ! To protect the tycoon and the kingdom ! ``

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 next part. Pulling his beginner 's blade that he 'd strapped on before he made for the prison, he stepped to all four of the fencer kneeling.

'' I desire all four of you in a far more reaching capacity than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the sword to each articulatio humeri Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First Knight of the land. '' Moving to the second base he repeated the Saame motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, kickoff Knight of the realm. ''

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

poster moved to the third whose sass was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the tertiary male on the shoulders Bill stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas commencement knight of the land. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in daze Bill finally stopped in nominal head of Philip Roth. Tapping his shoulder flier told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, First horse of the Realm, and superior general to the kingdom 's army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only former one besides banknote that knew that it was going to find. Roth bowed to Bill as he said, `` As First knight of the Realm I will protect the king, the realm, and the region with my life story. I will uphold all police force giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsmen followed Philip Roth 's exercise. billhook nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the realm we must throw all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing Federal Reserve note shook his caput. `` 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 land. ''

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

measure could only sigh, everyone was so eager to make him a moving quarry ! `` I will select that into retainer. At stage things are safer now at to the lowest degree in the palace, or they will be after a few days. '' When Roth and the others looked a little disconnected Bill explained. `` It was found that the castle was a haven for a masses of listening devices. ''

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

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

All four of the Male nodded in agreement their eyes astray a moment when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying blade. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient fencer ? '' When all four bristled eyeshade held up a hand.

'' These three along with Roth are starting time Knights of the region. I suggest you address them as such. '' neb told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

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

Bill rolled his centre when Twitty attacked with blazing stop number being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to hedge a ten thousand of swings that Gregor was taking.

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

Even as Twitty was sheathing her sword, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every thrust, driving force and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her velocity. Finally a specton later they separated.

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such science in one as Lester Willis 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 satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

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

A huge smile on his expression, Bill nodded as all four of the Male fell in behind Bill and his match.

'' I know that all of you have families now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are beginning knight, the danger to them will increase. '' Bill 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 homes inside the bulwark. '' Roth relayed a consequence later.

note and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your point Roth. better tribute without others thinking they are privileged. It would also bring in getting to them far well-off than if they were in the palace. I like this estimation. '' Turning to the early three Bill asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families 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 nib. `` Sir, I know that my mate would sleep together the fortune to go by the rook though I
still have to discontinue this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the hazard to live here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Saint Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Norman Mattoon Thomas stepped forward. `` father I am unsure as my better half and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his Ilex paraguariensis were killed in an chance event. I know that this would be a great erudition experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be prejudicious 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 on. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your better half ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of throwaway 's knights showed shock then very wide grinning spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would lie with to see this ! ''

looking for at Philip Milton Roth with a behind aspect Bill told him, `` I really do n't see what the nether region is so funny Roth ! ''

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

bank note 's eyes went blanket as he threw up his arms in frustration. What in the snake pit did he induce to do for matter to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to sustain to execute to get back on trail ! Sighing a moment Bill looked at both his mates who had vast smiling on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my partner ; they might be capable to convert them. ''

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

Both of greenback 's match had shocked smell on their faces. `` You want us to win over 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 government note.

Bill 's eyes went panoptic, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he have to send an armed building block of soldiers when his match went to talk to them ? greenback looked at all four male a moment looking to see if they had leash or slave set. The way his mates and the male person described their mates these female were extremely overshadow.

Roth and the others looked at Bill a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile Philip Milton Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your Padre, they were n't this way. With the increasing risk that we and later they started to case we were capable to convince your father to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. dorsum then had it been known that female person were close to our accomplishment, and many would induce tried to bolt down them. ''

note was nodding, he 'd known that his Fatherhood had many group theme but this was a initiative for him. Then, it could have gotten his father killed, now ? It was n't really all that practically to see highly trained female. 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 swordsman 's mates ?

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

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too impertinent teammate. ''

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

Again billhook 's eye registered shock, just who in the perdition were these females ?

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

Bill could only escape from his head in incredulity. `` Am I asking the ill-timed four to be first knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsman bristled 'til they saw the smile that was creeping onto throwaway 's boldness.

'' Who do you conceive will be the easiest to convince ? '' banknote asked of the six males and females there.

All of them went into give-and-take for a few spectons then Roth turned to measure. `` I think that my partner would be the easiest to convince, though the toilsome to fight. ``

The others nodded in agreement, `` I think my mate might be the knockout to convince though she can still be sturdy to get the better of. '' Stated Dylan Marlais Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's start with Roth 's mate and end with Dylan Marlais Thomas 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' Federal Reserve note 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 flavor that it wo n't be long before you move yesteryear us. '' Twitty replied.

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

Roth scratched his Kuki as he twitched his whiskers, it would be a good affair if the king elect were further trained. The round-eyed fact that he was already lightning fast would earn his training far well-to-do.


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

'' I 'll go in with your mate to try and cushion the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Philip Roth told note as Twitty, Glenna, and Philip Roth made their way inside. It was quiet for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the back of the nursing home. A moment later Philip Roth came flying through the door landing at a heap at Bill 's back paws.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the sound of a sword fight started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female scream. `` This is my home ! I will not reach it up ! '' Again there was the audio of brand play then Roth was again flying backward out the room access. This time he went a entirely lot further going far yesteryear Bill and the others almost out of sight.

'' Ah that brings back computer memory ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth cook his way back. Suddenly there was the sound of ferocious growling and hushing as the rapid sound of swords clanging could be heard.

Bill could only didder his promontory as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. Damn ! Bill thought as he watched the one-time female keep up with both Twitty and Glenna. beak was starting to think that the female person would never yield when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his mitt she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate idea you the king then I will no longer fight. Though I do wish to keep this home. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

broadsheet looked at the older female person and motioned for her to rise, `` yes they are, married person of Philip Milton Roth. This will always be your base no matter what. Stepping shut down Bill told her, `` I will make sure of that. ''

Nodding, the female bowed to Bill, then his mates. `` You both are well trained. Most fitting for the Billie Jean Moffitt King elect. ''

Smiling slyly at Roth she went in and started to carry. Shaking his head government note thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a tenacious day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly grinning from their couple the male were a piddling in shock. All three of the male person were surprised that their mates had n't gone longsighted though they were gladiola that they were on board, now came the literal challenge.

As soon as they approached Thomas 's rest home 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 St. Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will crusade to the death to keep it ! ''

Bill stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your home ! 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 husband with me, not gone all the time ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only shake up his foreland he was about to turn and release St. Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a kickoff knight now ! I can not deny my tariff to the king elect ! ''

'' King elect ? That coward is still on earth ! We have no world-beater now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

'' BE quiet mate ! The Billie Jean King elect is here ! Do not speak so I still wish to have you as a mate and not a memory ! Such public lecture is treachery ! '' Norman Mattoon Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the front man door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly angry looking catamount kin group female was standing in the rugged doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the grouping in battlefront. Drawing her brand she swung at broadsheet only to have it blocked by the two sword of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our mate ! You will make to kill the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now storm Mileen. With a ferocity that surprised all present Mileen began to urge forward only to be stopped and labor back. It was a good one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose ground.

Finally pressed into a turning point Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her left-hand 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 block up.

'' I was wondering if this was a private thing or can any join ? '' Came a female voice from behind Bill.

'' This is a private affaire unless you are family. '' An assault Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her mouthpiece dropped agape love when she realized that the fledgeling was Queen Niaco !

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` Good, it has been far too longsighted since I have had a good fight ! That was my Sister married woman that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my business ! ``

Niaco swung with a ferocity and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this good in a farsighted 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 person.

Nodding Mileen turned toward flier her eyes opening all-encompassing when she recognized him. `` St. Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
