Bill smiled as his Uncle was screaming at everyone who passed by. Walking up to the cell circular smiled more as his uncle began to hiss and rumble throwing threats at him.

'' As I warned you before Uncle Cornelius, keep up this doings and I might be tempted to vote down you quicker ! '' Bill told him.

'' You can not rules of order the death of a royal stag clan appendage unless you are crowned. '' Sneering and leaning tightlipped Bill 's uncle told him. `` My brother will have me freed long before that happens ! Unless of grade you are dead !

grin hugely Bill hissed back at his Uncle. `` I think that wo n't happen, Uncle. I have cleared primal of all the two-timer. We actually had to carry through over half of the staff, '' When beak saw his Uncle 's center go wide-cut he smiled heavy. `` Yes that includes that traitorous son of yours ! Really Uncle to rise one such as him ! Here you called me nothing. To believe he screamed for his mother before he died. ''

Federal Reserve note could see the fur on his Uncle 's neck starting to rise as he got madder. `` You lie ! You ca n't carry out a fellow member of the royal house without the order of magnitude of the King ! As we both know that idiotic permissive waste of space is dead ! ''

beak held up a paper that had his brother 's touch on it. `` I believe I have such society. You see my chum was n't a lot of affair but he was far Sir Thomas More thorough than you think. Shall I read it to you Uncle ? In the event of the death of my person, my brother is thereby named as king elect. If ANY attempt is made upon his liveliness before and during his ascending the throne, the assailant are to be executed immediately. Signed his majesty king Tobias I ''

Cornelius 's mouth was hanging open as he knew there was no way out of this. `` This ... this must be certified by the church service ... '' Bill 's uncle started.

'' It was signed before the high gear and help gamey priest. There were also many of the priest council there. If you would like, I will deliver them all there when I take your insignificant life you traitor ! '' measure snarled at his unfold mouth Uncle. `` Good by Uncle, it was n't a pleasance smelling your panicky odor. At least die like a member of the imposing social lion tribe. ''

Walking off Cornelius started to scream and hollo at visor 's retreating back. Rounding a quoin bill came face to face with the aforesaid senior high school priest and assistant high priest. Nodding to them both bank bill called Roth to advise him of the two visitors and to preserve a very close eye on them.

'' Yes sir, I have men posted everywhere down there. Have you thought of a way to execute him ? '' Roth asked.

'' As of yet, no I have n't. Being that he is of the royal star sign makes affair a piddling difficult. Since the order was by my brother dealing with me, '' here Bill sighed. `` The murder falls upon me only, as I am the simply early male of the category that has n't committed treachery. ''

'' Sir, you could always take his tenderness as you did the others. It is after all a befitting low death for a double-crosser. '' Roth replied.

'' I had thought of that but I am afraid that it would more than piss off the pep pill houses. I am going to need their support later on, no ; I need to go about this a little more quietly. '' Snapping his clawed paw fingers nib smiled. `` I think Philip Roth I have an idea though I am afraid that you are n't going to like it much. '' Looking back at Twitty and Glenna Bill continued. `` I know my fellow are n't at all. ''

Sure enough both of his partner were staring at him. Both of their ear laid back when Bill mentioned that to Philip Roth.

'' match what are you planning ? Why do I finger that Glenna and I are not going to like it one bit ? '' Twitty growled at him.

'' I have to carry out my Uncle as soon as possible. I feel I am inviolable enough but I have to make for certain. I need both of you to set a few things up for me. '' Bill told them as he launched into what he had in brain. Exactly what he did had both of his match shaking their heads no. Starting to growl himself nib told them he had no choice.

Both females sighed after almost half a specton, knowing that this was a matter of honor. There was naught that they could really do to delay or stop it. With heavy sigh both agreed and set about getting things ready.

Shaking his foreland Bill thought spirit would never be boring with those two that was for sure. Clicking on his com bill called Roth again. `` Philip Milton Roth I have to go see Niaco. If I can avail her stabilise the realm more before I ascend, then things might smooth out sooner. Meet me at the command entrance. ''

'' Yes sir I 'll be there in 1/2 a specton, '' came Philip Milton Roth 's reply.

Soon they both were again on a transport on the way out of the metropolis. Bill began to nod the further they went. This was well past where placard had thought the general and Niaco would have secured her. Pulling up to a
humble round dwelling Philip Roth helped placard out making sure no one was around. Knocking at the door it was answered by what appeared to be a youth male. posting could see though this was a trained soldier.

'' ejaculate in please ! Our home is welcome to wear family ! '' The male person said the recited line of work.

The general nodded as they stepped in getting a report from the soldier. Bill was about to ask them to call Niaco, when a female person a short older than Bill appeared.

'' I thought you 'd never come home ! '' She started. `` Your buddy was sure that you would birth returned sooner holding out promise. I told him that you were dead grievous when you said you were going to leave. All so he could rule without the beguilement of worrying about your spirit. I do n't even have it away what to call you. ''

'' I am going by bank bill 'til I ascend. I am here to spill the beans to you and help oneself you to stabilize the realm as much as possible before I ascend. I am hoping that the append stability will make the conversion easygoing '' government note relayed to her.

Nodding she told him, `` You were always more like your Padre. I can assume that soon the streets may soon be trench in ancestry. I have already heard about the 150 you had executed. Though I thought it was a piddling a good deal, it has obviously strengthened your emplacement, for now. ''

These last words had note 's optic opening all-encompassing in surprise. `` Exactly what have you heard ? '' nib asked.

'' Many of the Lord have been listening to the lies of both your Uncles. The fact that you took three of their castles with little or no stock impressed quite a few of them. Also many have heard of the almost day foresighted hunt you went on, again this has raised the hopes of more than a few of the Lord. It also dispelled most of the rumor that both of them started about you. ''

Bill was nodding this was good tidings indeed ! If he had most of the nobles on his side of meat he had a better chance of this going a Hades of a lot smoother.

'' Alright, anything else that you can do to strengthen this will help. Let 's get started before we go any further with this. Also when the metre is ripe I will be accepting you into my pride. '' neb told her.

This made Niaco 's eye go wide then she nodded and bowed. `` Though I do not wish a mate after your brother I will abide by the traditions of our people. ''

Sighing Bill had been afraid that she might react this way. `` I did not come here to make a mate of you. I have two already, they are already driving me to my wits end. No, I also wish to honor tradition protecting you. You are not the case of better half I would give care for I am afraid. As my new sister though I will protect you to my last breath ! ''

Again Niaco 's center went all-inclusive, she was n't his character ? Growling she took a swipe at banker's bill startling him, though he caught her arms easily behind her paws.

Panting she growled softly, `` We are more become for each other than you think ! If I have to pass a quant proving it I will ! ''

handbill nodded and smiled, so ! She was more traditional than he had thought. How in the hell had his buddy attracted such a viciously beautiful female was beyond him.

'' Niaco Traxor, I claim you as third, first first mate of the king elect ! As of this present moment you are mine ! No one may allude you, no one may disobey you. remember rule fair, rule smart. I have the tycoon to remove you from your view as queen. I will not waffle to do so if it means the safety of my, of our citizenry ! '' banker's bill growled out.

Kneeling Niaco stared into flyer 's eyes then bowed saying, `` Bill Axor I accept your title. I claim you as my mate. I pledge myself to the the great unwashed and you. ``

banknote nodded as she arose and they went to the comp in the back of the building. A toton later bank bill was a lot happier with the position. `` I want you to remain safe. I will fare for you soon. Then all my married woman will be a effect that will be unstoppable ! '' Licking the side of her face note listened to her purr then left to initiate on what he had planned.

Meeting up with Twitty and Glenna they both watched worried as he started in on what he 'd had them set up. A few hours later Bill was satisfied that he indeed had the potency to do what needed to be done.

'' full general, I need you to gather as many of the Nobles and council as you can. We have n't often metre to do this, so hurry ! '' Roth bowed leaving to get as many as he could.

It was a few hours later that posting was in the courtyard of the palace. A few import later his Uncle was brought in then tied to a post. Nodding Bill watched as the safety device left him and his uncle alone.

'' My people ! '' Bill started. `` We are here to execute this two-timer to the crown ! Though he deserves a death of a lower born I shall afford him a expiry of his caste. ''

'' You the people, you can stop this ! '' Cornelius was screaming.

poster shook his caput whisper, `` You disgrace the noble lion kin group ! '' Turning back to those assembled Bill started again. `` Having heard everything, seen all the grounds the Order left by the last king my sidekick, we will now expect out his orders ! '' Bill leaned down whisper, `` Do n't worry Uncle, Joseph Conrad will soon conjoin you ! ''

Stepping back Bill swung his arms for a import as there were a few shouts of agreement. Finally ready Bill drew back both arms then swung full force play at his uncle 's neck. For a bit Bill thought he might not induce sufficiency force behind the maneuver, 'til he saw the head separate from the consistence with a brief scream right before.

There was suddenly a hoi polloi of cheering blessing from all there. Bill grabbed his Uncle 's head and proclaimed, `` So is the fate of all nobility that face against the crown ! '' Throwing the chief into a basket Bill roared then walked out.

Both Twitty and Glenna were waiting with the full general when he entered the Marguerite Radclyffe Hall way. `` I have to say sir that was masterly done. I do n't think your male parent could consume done it any intimately. This should pull together quite a bit of reinforcement for you. I dare say that you Uncle will be hard pressed to disgrace you now ! ''

Bill 's face erupted into a smile as he began to wash out the blood line of the two-timer from his mitt, arms, and font. `` Yes Roth, I felt it went far better than I hoped. Let 's hope what you said comes to go past. Now I think it might be
safer to finally enter the palace. '' Grabbing his com Bill called Mikos. `` How goes the second assignment I gave you ? ''

'' Almost done sir. I was surprised when there were n't that many here. Though I am afraid you are going to call for another star sign head. That one was the worst of all of them. '' Mikos told Bill.

Bill nodded, `` I think that will be the job of my wives. How long before you think the palace will be clear ? ''

'' I have all of them but one. I have troops moving in as we speak. '' Mikos said.

'' Very good Lieutenant Colonel, bring the firm head to me. I wish to call into question her before she dies. '' government note explained.

'' Very skilful sir. Bringing her now. '' Mikos said then clicked off.

A few spectons later the deputy Colonel came through the doorway with a tied up Persian clan female.

Stopping before peak the female looked up then tongue at visor. broadside swiped the side of her grimace leaving respective bleeding trail across it. `` Hello you piece of filth ! '' visor hissed.

'' Me ? '' The female hissed. `` I am not the one who abandoned his brother to fools and assassins ! '' The female tongue out.

smiling hugely Bill hissed, `` It matters not. I am here now and you are a two-timer ! assure me where Conrad is, then you can have a more noble death. ''

'' If there was a Lord here I might consider it but ... '' it was at that arcsecond that the female began to groan then cry finally breaking into a wax out scream of pain.

'' As I told a few that are bushed now, you 'd be surprised what you can live through. '' circular released the female 's arm near the join. Looking up at Bill through her rent, she started to laugh at Bill 'til he snatched her ear off her head ! This time the female began to blether about the position she knew where Conrad was, through the sobs and groan. Finally satisfied, bank bill thanked her lifted her off the ground, then snapped her neck.

Dropping the body Bill looked at the General. `` I already have troops moving to observe all the places she said. It wo n't ingest long for us to find him sir. ''

'' Good keep me well-advised I need to stay. police lieutenant Colonel ! I need flock positioned throughout the Palace. I 'm going to rest. '' banker's bill advised all of them, then moved into the palace.

aim to the chief bed room notice could only shake up his head. His brother had left far too many billet in the room for assassins to hide. Stretching and yawning he 'd experience to stimulate that seen to as soon as he awoke. He watched as four soldiers took up compass point outside the door nodding he went to lie down.

'' inflame me if anything significant happens, I 'm really not in the mood to think about guests. '' posting advised both Twitty and Glenna. Both nodded as they took up positions around the room.

It was almost 2 totons later when Bill awoke with a start. Something was wrong here as he looked around the
way. Both Twitty and Glenna were slumped against the paries. Even as he watched a figure moved closer to the bed with a large, farseeing obelisk. Slightly tensing up Bill awaited the moment that the assassinator struck.

With a hurried thrust the assassin plunged the sticker into the chest of the Billie Jean King elect. The only matter was, he was n't there ! Suddenly the would be assassin found that their arms were being held from behind !

'' Release me, '' hissed the feminine voice.

Grabbing the lens hood Bill threw it back revealing an assassinator of the jaguar tribe. `` I have no ongoing conflict with your tribe. Why then try to assassinate me ? ''

'' You are a slow poison to this kingdom and kingdom ! '' The female hissed as she tried to twist out of handbill 's clutches. Suddenly her grimace was pressed to the trading floor as was the rest period of her body. Bill had his full weight on her vertebral column both weapons system twisted and locked behind her.

'' I know not what my Uncles have told your kinship group but as one of them found out today, '' Here he leaned down to her ear. `` I am deadly sober about bringing the kingdom back to what my father had many quants ago. I suggest that you go back and advise the clan that any foster attempts on my living will be met with a killing military force. I 'm certain that the Jaguar clan does n't want to melt ! ``

Standing Bill twisted the female's munition harder 'til one snapped and the other popped. `` You bastard ! The female screamed as both arms would n't move.

'' This is the lonesome warning I will apply. They send any more, the ones they send will never devolve. Then a short, a very short war will ensue. A war that will mark the end of the Jaguar clan. Roth ! '' poster yelled into his com. `` I need you now for a extra assignment. ''

Two spectons later Roth had the female taken to a transport. It was half a toton later that Roth returned. `` I did as you instructed. She was left at the house of the Jaguar kin. The Federal Reserve note you gave me was also left with her. Sir I do n't recollect that ... '' Roth was saying as beak 's com went off.

'' Speak, '' Bill growled into the com.

'' I take it I am talking to the king elect ? '' Came an Old male person 's voice. `` The Jaguar clan wishes a parley. For the deference that you gave the kin we wish an alinement. What say you ? ''

'' I do not usually make alliance with assassins. I find though, that at this time this is a crisis that issue all. '' greenback replied. `` Neither your clan nor mine has much trust of the other. I therefore suggest electroneutral territory with a lower limit of sentry go. You do know of row that my mates will be there. Perhaps we can play in half a minton. ''

'' Yes, '' stated the voice. `` My daughter, the one you broke the arm of will be there. Perhaps family would be a good choice. 'Til then Billie Jean King elect. '' Then the vocalisation clicked off.

Twitty and Glenna were at circular 's face. Both were dysphoric that they had been taken out as easily as they had. `` I do not trust them mate ! '' Twitty growled.

'' Neither do I ! If they have a gas that we are susceptible to they are far more dangerous. married person I feel that you are putting yourself in tomb risk meeting with them. '' Glenna said the worry apparent on her face.

Sighing Federal Reserve note nodded, `` I do not truly bank them either. Though as I told them the current state of this kingdom and realm care all ! If I can not unite them as my father did 30 quants ago I fear that we will descend into a farsighted and blooming civil war. One that might not only destroy the realm but various of the worlds of it. ''

'' Mate, I am feeling so very much deception from them. '' Glenna replied. `` I have read many study of their dealings with others. It is a well known fact that they do nothing for others only their own clan ! ''

'' I realize that both of you. I need as many kindred as I can get to put this kingdom back to what it should be. '' note growled out.

'' But mate ! '' Both female person started.

'' Enough ! We need them ; ALL of them, if we are going to endure this. Now I want no advance statement on this ! '' flyer sternly told his checkmate.

'' Yes sir, '' they both begrudgingly stated as they both bowed to him.

'' You want a solid troop nearby ? '' Roth asked as soon as Bill was finished.

'' NO ! As I told them and they agreed only a few. More than likely household, it might actually be better that way. '' Bill told him.

Sighing the General nodded, he knew safe than to oppugn Bill. Besides with the look that banker's bill was wearing he had something up his sleeve it appeared .
