The full general stepped up to placard a present moment later. `` Sir, do you think that the palace is secure enough now ? You really should be crowned to help quench the fears of all. ''

Bill thought about it for a here and now then told the General, `` No, at the present moment with this new threat that is posed I really do n't. We still need to weed out all of the traitors. First though I am going to have to handle this problem with the Jaguar clan. I know it would stabilize the kingdom more but with the constant attempts on my life, I think we should wait. Besides it would afford you the sentence to find the other three. Do n't you concord ? ''

General Roth sighed as he suspected life-time with this new king was going to be anything but dull that was for sure. `` I guess sir, though I am still not sure that any of them will agree to this. As I told you we all were gladiola just to do our duty, for the kingdom and your Padre. Though the temptingness of being a knight does go in effect, it also brings advance duty. It is THOSE that I believe they will jib at. ''

'' Hmmm perhaps you 're right Roth, maybe I should dominate upon their sense of tariff ? '' Bill suggested.

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

'' Oh, something I remember my male parent telling me. I 'll just throw away them in the dungeon 'til they agree. '' Bill said nonchalantly.

Roth began to smile widely shaking his head. Yes he remembered when Bill 's father had used the same tactic
though for different reasons. He 'd been worried that they might hire themselves out to his enemies. 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 skillful as they were now.

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

neb thought a bit then said,"I might if you continue to turn down Philip Milton Roth, I just might. ''

'' Lucky for you I am not against the idea. I might be able to convince one of them, though the other two, I am not so sure of. The one I hope will join with me could actually convince the others to concede. I would n't hold my intimation though. '' Sighing Roth shook his head, `` I am afraid that you just might have to throw them in the dungeon. ''

posting began to smile, `` I was thinking about the Saame thing. The thing is though I am not sure just how many men I should send. Suggestions ? ''

Roth seemed to be lost in cerebration a moment then looked up. `` might I suggest all of them ? I of course will lead them. They were and somewhat are still loyal to me. They parted shipway after your comrade took over years ago ; it was n't under their terms either. I think they are still angry about that, all three of them have extremely longsighted memories. ''

Bill smiled then nodded. `` Make it so, then as I said if they refuse cast them in the keep. Oh, not the new ones but the older 1. You know the varmint infest ones. A curt fourth dimension there might convince them otherwise. ''

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

broadside looked behind him at his partner and soon to be Queens. Both of them had a smirk on their faces. `` You really think that they will harmonise ? '' Twitty asked a more amused look starting to dominate her face.

'' I have to agree and ask the Saami thing, '' Glenna said. `` These are after all the not bad sword master key of the realm. You really think they are going to gibe with the brother of the king that threw them away, as if they were zilch ? No I think you are in for a hanker conflict with them. ''

Sighing note replied, `` I am relying on their sense of honor to overcome their angriness. ''

'' Ha ! '' Twitty shouted. `` They are, please forgive me sir, they are male person. Pride is far too outstanding in them for them to overcome it. No I think they will crusade claw and Fang to NOT help the kingdom. ''

banknote stared at both of them with a scandalise flavor. Did they have so little faith in males ? `` So then I take it you also consider me within that radical ? ''

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 meter. '' Holding up her bridge player Twitty continued. `` Our world is a savage place as is the realm and there are truly clock time that aggression is the sole response. ''

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

Both females shook their straits no. `` Almost all of them yes we do, though the killing of the house drumhead seemed a piddling much. ''

'' So the killing of traitor that would spill my origin is fine with you ? '' Bill growled in a low grave voice. Turning he watched as respective of the servants made their way through the elbow room.

'' NO ! '' Both of the females hissed back. `` We could have used her to chance others. Now she is but a bad memory. '' Glenna growled also.

Bill smiled as he grabbed both of the females around their necks. `` I am not to be questioned in front of the modest caste. I can forgive this for now ; but I do not expect it to happen again though. I hope I am making myself unmortgaged on this. '' Both females smiled as they nodded as unspoiled they could. Lowering them to the flooring both started to purr and rub against Bill. `` We have to name make for this group meeting. Though I do not ask them to not land weapon, I do n't expect a lot of their followers either. ''




The following day Bill and both of his mates were on their way to the Saami humble hamlet that his third Paraguay tea was in. Finally on the fringe they stopped awaiting the arrival of the Jaguar kindred 's loss leader.

It was one stern of a toton later that they heard the approach of another transport. Pulling up to kibosh a unspoilt space from them banker's bill moved closer feeling that the clan had a conjuration up their sleeve.

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

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

A few moments later they were beside each other. `` Hail Felis onca tribe ! '' broadside 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 Whitney Moore Young Jr. as you respect the old fashion. ''

posting smiled. `` I was taught by my father for a time though many consider me a bastard, as my mother was of a dissimilar kindred. ``

The loss leader nodded, `` We are all conversant with the narrative. We ourselves can not dispute this. Many of us are also of two clans. '' Here he looked at his daughter. Sighing, the loss leader shook his header, `` I am afraid that it will be some time before my daughter can displace her arms again. Though I do thank you for the award of sparing her life. ''

'' I take it your doc are still ineffective to readapt her non-broken arm ? '' Bill asked.

A outrage expression appeared on the leader 's typeface as he nodded. `` This is true a great attainment you have shown I am sure as shooting they will picture it out one day. ''

'' If I may I can reset it ; though I will require something for it. '' card replied.

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

As Bill drew closer the young female started to sizz and grumble. Bill slapped the netherworld out of her. `` If you attempt to burn, hook or kill I will do far much worse ! '' Grabbing the arm that was in a sling notice twisted slightly as there was a disgust pop then the female person screamed. support away neb watched as the female 's face registered surprisal then shock absorber.

'' She should be very well in another day. That was a simple affair to fix. '' flyer told the loss leader.

A new respect started to read on the drawing card 's grimace. `` I have n't seen such skill since your father was king ! That brings back many memories, your father was a heavy world-beater, a good friend. '' Bowing low the drawing card stated, `` The Jaguar clan would be honored to help oneself you sir, king chosen. There will not be any other try by the clan on your sprightliness. ''

With that both of the galvanise Panthera onca clan members left. posting turned to his married person who were nodding. `` They had obviously planned trickery but shut it down. Mate, think it wise to let them go ? ''

'' We may be somewhat feral but purity always comes first. I will recur it again, I DO NOT like deception. They were n't traitors they hold honour almost as heights as I do. Today I was hoping for an coalition, I believe I have one. '' Sighing neb thought well that 's two, no three down only everything else to go !

Returning to the palace Bill had a sudden thought process as he called Mikos. `` I need you and a tech to come to the palace. We may have cleared it of betrayer but knowing my uncles, they have gimmick in topographic point in case the two-timer failed. ''

'' I 'll be there in a specton. It should n't take too long on each room, though the whole palace will occupy a few hours. Any place we should start ? '' Mikos asked.

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

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

eyeshade and his first two better half sat outside waiting for Mikos and the tech to come out. Within instant Mikos and the technical school had entered and were scanning.

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

Opening a channel on the private com Bill told him, `` Silence mode. ''

'' approving sir. '' Mikos said and switched over to a secure line. `` Yes sir, '' Mikos replied a second later.

'' I do n't want you to say anything. I am sure enough that there are listening devices all over the palace. Find all of them
use both the narrow and wide band width locator. If I know my uncles and a few others they have the castle loaded with them. Remove all from the bedchamber and adjoining rooms. After that I 'll advise you as to boost action. ''

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

Bill smiled as he clicked off. `` I guess we wait for a bit 'til ... '' About that prison term billhook 's com went off a shout from Niaco.

'' King elect, I have advance news, '' came her voice.

'' Yes Queen Niaco, anything you can supply before I ascend the throne will serve. '' Bill said, observing tradition of her being the world-beater 'til such time as he was crowned.

'' It appears that many of the nobility are starting to turn a niggling dying. There are many grumblings that you will not ascend the commode 'til such meter that they have lost their belongings. I have started spreading rumors that you are clearing the traitors before you do. It has n't served to relieve many of their veneration. I am afraid that you may ingest to accept the peak sooner than you wish. '' Queen Niaco told him.

'' Ah ! My high-priced Queen what you have said is after all nothing but the truth. I believe that you might require to bulge rumors that the king elect is upset that they are ignoring you. You may only be the queen regnant but you still wield at least half the world power of the land. If I may suggest, '' Bill asked her.

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

'' Perhaps you should let it slip that you heard that the Rex chosen will have the streets flowing with lineage. Before all of this over, there will be far more executions the way matter are going. Also let it perhaps slip that the king chosen would n't want a generous portion of that blood to be that of the nobility. '' Bill told her a wry smiling on his lips.

Niaco the queen mole rat tried to stifle her chuckle as it slipped out. `` I do conceive that would be a most first-class idea king elite. 'Til we see each other again, Holman Hunt well husband to be ! ''

Both Twitty and Glenna smiled hugely. `` I have to say she will stool a fine addition to our pride hubby. '' Twitty told him.

'' Yes, I find I am starting to like her to a greater extent and more with each passing one-half minton ! '' Glenna said as her smiling grew larger.

visor eyed both of his mates with suspicion, what had both of them been up to ? Another thing, was his future mate and queen also in on it ?

It was perhaps half a toton later that note saw Roth and a hell of a lot of troops leading three men to the rook. measure 's face took on a Brobdingnagian grinning, so it appeared that they had refused after all ! Perhaps a few solar day in the donjon would make them more agreeable. Then a sudden thought hit flier causing him to didder his head. They had been there for almost a month before his Father had threatened to decollate them with dishonor that made them finally agree. Stroking his vibrissa banknote nodded his pass yes it just might work !

Bill was about to head to the dungeon when he got a phone call from Mikos. `` silence mode. ''

'' Affirmative, '' Bill replied. `` What did you recover ? ''

In a hushed voice Mikos told him. `` We found 45 in the commencement expanse, another 25 in the second. I fear that there may be more than. May I bring in another two techs ? One with another sweeper twist and one for recovery. At the pace we are going I am afraid it is going to take a week just to do the two rooms around the bedchamber. ''

Bill growled at the treason and misrepresentation 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 to the lowest degree four different case of listening devices 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 line without them noticing, then attempt to. Under no circumstances venture near where you suspect they may be. These are obviously desperate and lower caste fools we are dealing with here. If you do get a positioning on my uncle Conrad, I am to know immediately ! '' Bill advised.

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

Sighing Bill could only didder his head sadly. So many had sunk so low into the depth of deception it made him regurgitate to think that honour meant so lilliputian now. Growling posting punched a wall, not a great deal longer ! If he had to threaten thousands 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 ride it out.

Growling Bill walked quickly with a settle tempo. Reaching the dungeon throwaway roared, `` Where are they ? Where are the double-dealer ? '' Bill said as he knocked several guards against the wall making his way to the three fencer 's cells.

Arriving at the first prison cell flier growled at the Male within. `` Who are you ? '' The male said growling back fiercely at Bill.

Stepping up to the cell card reached to the male leaning against the door made of bars. Punching the Male in the dresser, nib roared as the male person flew across the room into the backwards wall. Still growling card said, `` I was told that you refused to aid the realm. ''

The male got off the floor and roared back at note, `` The realm I will assist, the king elect ? No, I ... ''

'' Fine ! '' card roared. `` Guards take him to the curtilage ! I have n't the time for them to rot here. Tie this traitor to the city block I 'll be there soon and take his worthless head ! '' Stepping around the corner poster looked at the other two. `` I take it you also defy ? amercement take them also. I have no prison term to mouth to double-crosser ; I 'll be there soon to strip them of their traitorous thoughts ! ''

All three of the male person started to cry at government note. `` Just who do you think you are ? Only the king and king elect can decree our exe ... ''

bill whirled getting in the face of the one he 'd punched to the wall. `` I am the king elect ! My Church Father was King Tomco, my brother was King Tobias ! When I am crowned I will be the succeeding, you filthy traitor ! ''

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

Roth looked on a picayune occupy as he came and laid a hired hand on broadsheet 's articulatio humeri ; only to feel that he was flying through the air. Landing on his feet Philip Milton Roth hissed at poster when he saw the smell of anger and hatred on measure 's grimace. `` Are you actually going to kill them or is this a ploy ? '' Philip Milton Roth asked.

'' I am through playing and dancing around with betrayer and those that do not know how they want to go. As of this mo if they refuse a endorsement time then they are no more. I am trying to reconstruct this expectant kingdom my ancestors worked so hard to create. I will be damned if I will let it die because of those that do not recognize. '' Bill snarled out.

Roth stood nodding his head affirmatively. `` I shall blab to them. I am quite sure that they do not bid the dishonor of beheading. ''

Taking a Brobdingnagian calming breathing spell Bill leaned back against the rampart. `` Yes I suggest that you do. I am not in the mood to hear plea or begging this is their alone chance. After what was found at the palace I am way past that ! ''

'' Yes sir. I will state them you will be along in two spectons. I will also tell them that you are not playing. '' Roth sighed shaking his top dog. `` I just hope that they come to their common sense. I lost far too many in the lowest civil war when I was with your father. ''

Bill nodded as he watched Philip Milton Roth ascend out of the dark, dank, and putrid older dungeon. Bill shook his headland turning to look at his match. Both their eyes were huge, they both could depose that their mate nib had been in the heart of a descent lust killing then just as suddenly was formula again ! Neither of them had ever seen anyone with that much control !

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

Bill 's eyes went wide as Twitty also took his early paw, `` I Twitty Glax accept your title and claim you also as my partner. ''

handbill got a vast smile he 'd leave about their accepting of his claim. With all that had been going on the hold out week it had n't been that voiceless.

'' Now that we have that in order, '' Twitty stated. `` When do you retrieve that we might start having our first liter for you Sire ? ''

'' Yes sire, though you know that we will stay on as your viewer 'til we deliver. Then we will make to remember of a nanner to catch them so we can watch over you. '' Glenna added.

bank bill looked at both of them with blow, kits ? This soon ? Throwing up his arm in resignation he shook his pass as he headed for the executing M .
