Bill climbed the steps leading from the dungeon as he headed to the capital punishment 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 stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the illumination. Ahead he could hear the three males cursing and struggling to get liberate.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the prison term to pander to pleading traitors. I am trying to rebuild the huge and sinewy kingdom my phratry helped to make. I have no clock time for the ilk of you ! This is the sole chance you will take. Help the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will proffer 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 interpret why we refuse ! ''

handbill walked back getting in all three of their faces. `` I understand a ill service was done to all three of you. As I said I have n't the sentence to hold back for you three to make up your minds ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonour will reach out all of your families as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' departure us and we will swear fidelity to you ! '' The oldest of them said.

'' I am not a young, poor fish kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were gravid swordsmen that would delight a true challenge. Goodbye ugly ones your menage will be stateless soon ! '' account said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The Lapp sure-enough man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our on-key names are. I know that King Tomco only told his younger son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no promote trouble with us. ''

account nodded as he racked his brain to call back the names his father had told him when he was so immature. Suddenly a slight smiling 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 Bill moved to stand in front of them.

'' Sire. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in front line of him. Philip Roth also knelt succeeding to them as each of them stated. `` I am a citizen of the realm I pledge my life and my steel to the honor of the realm ! To protect the king and the realm ! ``

Taking a cryptic breather measure nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the hold, 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 absquatulate 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 reaching capacity than you think. '' banknote said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the brand to each shoulder joint Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First Knight of the land. '' Moving to the second he repeated the same question. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First Knight of the realm. ''

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

Bill moved to the tierce whose mouth was hanging open as were the kickoff two. Tapping the third Male on the shoulders circular stated, `` Arise Sir St. Thomas outset knight of the realm. '' Even as Lowell Jackson Thomas was nodding in daze Bill finally stopped in front of Roth. Tapping his berm banknote told him, `` Arise Sir Philip Roth, offset knight of the Realm, and General to the realm 's army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only early one besides visor that knew that it was going to hap. Philip Roth bowed to Bill as he said, `` As First knight of the region I will protect the king, the kingdom, and the region with my life story. I will uphold all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege lord, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the fencer followed Philip Milton Roth 's deterrent example. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As Knights of the kingdom we must suffer all of you dressed as is your place. '' Sighing Bill shook his capitulum. `` At present 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 sire, we will start as soon as possible. '' Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your side should n't you go through with the coronation ? ''

government note could only sigh, everyone was so eager to arrive at him a moving prey ! `` I will contain that into consideration. At acquaint affair are safer now at least in the castle, or they will be after a few Clarence Shepard Day Jr.. '' When Roth and the others looked a piddling disjointed flier explained. `` It was found that the castle was a haven for a masses of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the other three bank bill stated. `` As you can see I have my father 's temper, not as bad but I do deliver it. I will not endure treason as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard duty, at to the lowest degree 'til you can provide better. Though I think my mates might have something to say about that. ''

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

'' These three along with Roth are First Knights of the land. I suggest you address them as such. '' Bill told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

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

Bill rolled his eye when Twitty attacked with blazing speed being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to duck a myriad of swings that Gregor was taking.

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

Even as Twitty was sheathing her blade, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every thrust, driveway 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 teacher taught you well. ''

Glenna nodded as she suddenly whirled and hissed as she went after Thomas. `` 'bout time, '' He said with a grin. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are more than acceptable spouse. '' Both of them told card.

A Brobdingnagian smiling on his face, Federal Reserve note 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 first gear knights, the peril to them will increase. '' Bill told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the Lapp lines sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in rest home inside the wall. '' Roth relayed a moment later.

placard and the cortege with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your dot Philip Milton Roth. bettor tribute without others thinking they are privileged. It would also cook getting to them far easier than if they were in the palace. I like this idea. '' Turning to the early three flyer asked. `` What say you three ? Would your families care to know within the paries ? ''

Gregor turned to seem at the early two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to handbill. `` Sir, I know that my match would roll in the hay the chance to live by the castle though I
still have to break dance this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the chance to inhabit here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Thomas stepped forward. `` sire I am unsure as my mate and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My oldest son and his better half were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a great learning experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

Bill was nodding at everything Thomas the doubting Apostle was saying. It was a valid point but he needed all four of them if this was going to bring. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your mate ? '' Bill suggested.

All four of bank bill 's knights showed shock then very encompassing grin spread across their faces. Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would love to see this ! ''

Looking at Philip Milton Roth with a stern tone handbill told him, `` I really do n't see what the netherworld is so funny remark Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't earn that all four of us have substantial mates. I 'd make bold say that they are as strong as yours. '' Philip Roth said after he 'd turn back chuckling.

Bill 's eye went wide as he threw up his branch in defeat. What in the inferno did he throw 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 card looked at both his mates who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my spouse ; they might be able to convince them. ''

Roth face suddenly showed blow as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will require a tinker's dam goodness suit. The vantage far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am unsure they are very set in their slipway now. ''

Both of throwaway 's mates had shocked flavour 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 females, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told Bill.

banknote 's eyes went wide, just who in the hell were these female person ? Did he have to broadcast an armed unit of soldiers when his partner went to talk to them ? Federal Reserve note looked at all four male a moment looking to see if they had catch or buckle down bands. The way his match and the males described their mates these females were extremely reign.

Philip Milton Roth and the others looked at Bill a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a grin Roth spoke up to excuse. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your father, they were n't this way. With the increasing risk that we and later they started to typeface we were able to convince your father to develop them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. cover then had it been known that females were close to our skills, and many would possess tried to obliterate them. ''

posting was nodding, he 'd fuck that his father had many radical ideas but this was a number one for him. Then, it could have gotten his sire killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly take 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 swordsman 's mates ?

'' Alright, I will leave you both to go in fully armed, though I want a turgid detachment to go with you. '' Bill told both of his married person.

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

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

Again throwaway 's eyes registered shock, just who in the perdition were these female ?

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

neb could only shake his school principal in disbelief. `` Am I asking the damage four to be commencement horse ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsmen bristled 'til they saw the smile that was creeping onto bank bill 's brass.

'' Who do you call back will be the easiest to convince ? '' government note asked of the six male person and female person there.

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Philip Milton Roth turned to Bill. `` I think that my Paraguay tea would be the easiest to convince, though the firmly to fight. ``

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 the doubting Apostle.

'' Alright, let 's start with Roth 's mate and end with Thomas 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' flyer started.

'' No match, 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 look that it wo n't be long before you move preceding us. '' Twitty replied.

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

Philip Milton Roth scratched his mentum as he twitched his hair, it would be a respectable affair if the king elect were further trained. The simple-minded fact that he was already lightning fast would make his training far promiscuous.


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 mates to try and soften the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Philip Roth told Bill as Twitty, Glenna, and Roth made their way inside. It was placid for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the book binding of the menage. A moment later Roth came flying through the door landing at a bus at Bill 's back manus.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the strait of a sword fight started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female person scream. `` This is my family ! I will not give it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword manoeuvre then Philip Roth was again flying backward out the room access. This sentence he went a entirely lot further going far preceding Bill and the others almost out of sight.

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

Bill could only shake his heading as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. red cent ! peak thought as he watched the older female sustain up with both Twitty and Glenna. posting was starting to think that the female would never relent when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

kneel at his paw she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate thought you the king then I will no longer oppose. Though I do care to keep this nursing home. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

Bill looked at the older female person and motioned for her to surface, `` yes they are, married person of Philip Roth. This will always be your home no matter what. Stepping snug peak told her, `` I will take a crap sure of that. ''

Nodding, the female person bowed to Bill, then his mates. `` You both are well trained. most fitting for the power elect. ''

Smiling slyly at Roth she went in and started to load down. Shaking his head flyer thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a yearn day indeed.'Almost the indistinguishable incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smiling from their mates the males were a little in jounce. All three of the males were surprised that their Ilex paraguariensis had n't gone thirster though they were glad that they were on board, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached Lowell Thomas 's home they all knew that they were going to be in for a real engagement. Lowell Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the figurehead barricaded. `` I refuse to give up the home we raised our kits in Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will fight to the demise to restrain 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 nance ! Go hawk your Lie to others I want my husband with me, not gone all the time ! '' Thomas 's first mate yelled.

Sighing Bill could only rock his head he was about to turn and release Lowell Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a first knight now ! I can not deny my responsibility to the business leader chosen ! ''

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

'' BE tranquillize mate ! The king elect is here ! Do not address so I still wish to have you as a mate and not a memory ! Such talk of the town is treason ! '' Lowell Thomas hissed back.

There was a to-do at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly tempestuous looking catamount clan female was standing in the discontinue doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in front man. Drawing her brand she swung at flier only to throw it blocked by the two swords of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our mate ! You will give to vote down the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now storm Mileen. With a wildness that surprised all award Mileen began to press forward only to be stopped and labour back. It was a good one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to lose soil.

Finally pressed into a quoin Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her left arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled look that she finally had an advantage everyone but bank note stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to kibosh.

'' I was wondering if this was a buck private affair or can any link up ? '' Came a distaff voice from behind Bill.

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

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` in effect, it has been far too long since I have had a good fight ! That was my Sister wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my line of work ! ``

Niaco swung with a ferocity and strong point that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this serious in a long meter ! Finally backed into a recess 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 government note her middle opening wide when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
