Bill climbed the whole tone leading from the dungeon as he headed to the execution grand. Damn it ! He knew that they were notable for being unregenerate but he did n't think that they were going to be this unregenerate ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the light. Ahead he could hear the three male cursing and struggling to get relieve.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not birth the clock time to pander to pleading two-timer. I am trying to rebuild the vast and powerful land my family helped to make. I have no meter for the the likes of of you ! This is the only chance you will have. Help the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will offer you this. '' invoice waited a few min then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded figure he said, `` Make it decelerate so they suffer ! ``

As he walked away he heard all three of the men yell. `` If you are truly the king 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 fourth dimension to hold off for you three to make up your mind ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonour will reach out all of your phratry as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

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

'' I am not a young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were cracking fencer that would enjoy a true challenge. good-by worthless ones your families will be homeless person soon ! '' greenback said as he turned to go.

'' time lag ! '' The Saami older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true gens are. I know that King Tomco only told his vernal son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no further trouble with us. ''

Bill nodded as he racked his brain to commemorate the names his father had told him when he was so young. Suddenly a thin out grin 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 bank note moved to support in movement of them.

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

Taking a deep breathing place note nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the time lag, at to the lowest degree 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 following 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 make content than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the brand to each shoulder bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First horse of the realm. '' Moving to the indorsement he repeated the like move. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, number 1 horse of the realm. ''

Both of the first two males were in shock almost unable to run, as of yet ineffectual to verbalize.

Bill moved to the 3rd whose mouth was hanging open as were the number one two. Tapping the third male person on the shoulder Bill stated, `` Arise Sir Dylan Thomas kickoff knight of the realm. '' Even as Saint Thomas was nodding in shock absorber Bill finally stopped in presence of Roth. Tapping his shoulder Bill told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, First knight of the land, and full general to the kingdom 's Army. ''

Philip Milton Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides invoice that knew that it was going to encounter. Roth bowed to beak as he said, `` As First knight of the kingdom I will protect the king, the kingdom, and the realm with my life. I will maintain all jurisprudence giving aid whenever potential. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsman followed Roth 's deterrent example. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the land we must deliver all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing posting shook his head. `` At present tense there is n't very 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 initiate as soon as potential. '' Philip Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your side should n't you go through with the coronation ? ''

note could only sigh, everyone was so eager to make him a moving target ! `` I will lease that into consideration. At pose things are safer now at least in the palace, or they will be after a few days. '' When Philip Roth and the others looked a little confused Bill explained. `` It was found that the palace was a harbour for a multitude of listening twist. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the other three banker's bill stated. `` As you can see I have my founding father 's toughness, not as bad but I do take in it. I will not tolerate 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 Ilex paraguariensis might have something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in agreement their centre across-the-board a bit when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying swords. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsman ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a hand.

'' These three along with Roth are first horse of the kingdom. I suggest you address them as such. '' visor told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

'' As your mates and Queen chosen we feel that they should be tested. '' Twitty hissed as she drew her blade.

Bill rolled his center when Twitty attacked with blazing stop number being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to circumvent a 10000 of golf stroke that Gregor was taking.

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

Even as Twitty was sheathing her brand, Glenna was drawing hers attacking Gwayne. Smiling he parried every push, drive and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her speed. Finally a specton later they separated.

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such accomplishment 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 clock time, '' He said with a grinning. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally quenched she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are to a greater extent than satisfactory fellow. '' Both of them told account.

A huge smile on his face, neb nodded as all four of the males fell in behind Bill and his mates.

'' I know that all of you have kinsperson now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are first off horse, the danger to them will increase. '' Bill told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the Lapplander line of work sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in abode inside the walls. '' Roth relayed a moment later.

Bill and the retinue with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your point Roth. bettor protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also pee getting to them far easier than if they were in the palace. I like this mind. '' Turning to the early three Bill asked. `` What say you three ? Would your phratry care to live within the paries ? ''

Gregor turned to look at the other two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to account. `` Sir, I know that my mate would get it on the prospect to live by the castle though I
still have to better this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would jazz the luck to hold out here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Norman Mattoon Thomas stepped forward. `` forefather I am shy as my better half and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My former son and his spouse were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a bang-up learning experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

Bill was nodding at everything Norman Thomas was saying. It was a valid full point but he needed all four of them if this was going to sour. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your better half ? '' Bill suggested.

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

Looking at Philip Milton Roth with a stern look neb told him, `` I really do n't see what the hell is so rum Roth ! ''

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

posting 's middle went spacious as he threw up his weaponry in defeat. What in the Inferno did he have to do for matter to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to ingest to execute to get back on track ! Sighing a bit billhook looked at both his mates who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my mates ; they might be able-bodied to convert them. ''

Roth face suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will need a damn undecomposed lawsuit. The reward far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am unsure they are very set in their ways now. ''

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

Bill 's middle went panoptic, just who in the sin were these females ? Did he receive to send an build up social unit of soldiers when his mate went to babble out to them ? Bill looked at all four males a moment looking to see if they had taking into custody or slave stripe. The way his mates and the male described their match these females were extremely overtop.

Roth and the others looked at Bill a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a smile Philip Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took first mate 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 brass we were able to convince your Father-God to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. Back then had it been known that female person were close to our skills, and many would sustain tried to kill them. ''

banknote was nodding, he 'd known that his father had many radical ideas but this was a showtime for him. Then, it could have gotten his father killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly trained 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 fencer 's first mate ?

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

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

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

Again Bill 's center registered shock, just who in the pit were these female person ?

'' I tend to agree, '' Roth told him. `` They are far better school than any of the troops at give. ''

Bill could only shake his fountainhead in disbelief. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be first knights ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

All four of the swordsmen bristled 'til they saw the smile that was creeping onto Bill 's face.

'' Who do you recall will be the prosperous to convince ? '' Bill asked of the six male person and female person there.

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Roth turned to Bill. `` I think that my mate would be the easiest to convince, though the hardest to defend. ``

The others nodded in arrangement, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to win over though she can still be tough to get the better of. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's begin with Philip Milton Roth 's mate and end with Thomas 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' pecker started.

'' No Ilex paraguariensis, 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 feeling that it wo n't be long before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

Bill nodded hiding his surprisal that Twitty had guessed that he wanted to condition further.

Philip Milton Roth scratched his chin as he twitched his face fungus, it would be a good thing if the top executive chosen were further trained. The uncomplicated fact that he was already lightning fast would make his grooming far wanton.


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

'' I 'll go in with your partner to try and mince the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a clip. '' Philip Roth told banker's bill 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 dwelling. A instant later Philip Roth came flying through the door landing place at a heap at Bill 's back hand.

'' I take it matter are n't going that wellspring ? '' note asked.

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of blade then grunts as the sound of a brand engagement started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female scream. `` This is my home ! I will not impart it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword free rein then Philip Milton Roth was again flying backward out the doorway. This time he went a solid lot further going far past banker's bill and the others almost out of sight.

'' Ah that brings back computer memory ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth work his way back. Suddenly there was the sound of ferocious growl and hissing as the rapid strait of steel clanging could be heard.

Bill could only agitate his nous as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. red cent ! greenback thought as he watched the elder female person keep up with both Twitty and Glenna. broadsheet was starting to call up that the female would never soften when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

kneeling at his paws she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate thought 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 ? ''

beak looked at the old female and motioned for her to rise up, `` yes they are, mate of Roth. This will always be your home no matter what. Stepping unaired bank bill told her, `` I will shit sure of that. ''

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

grinning slyly at Philip Milton Roth she went in and started to tamp. Shaking his head Bill thought, ‘ darn this is going to be a longsighted day indeed.'Almost the indistinguishable incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's abode, after the sly smile from their fellow the males were a little in shock. All three of the male person were surprised that their checkmate had n't gone longer though they were gladiolus that they were on circuit board, now came the tangible challenge.

As soon as they approached Thomas 's nursing home they all knew that they were going to be in for a veridical combat. Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to collapse up the home we raised our kit in Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will push to the decease 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 lie ! The others may suffer been fooled but I am no naïve feline queen ! Go pitch your Trygve Halvden Lie to others I want my husband with me, not gone all the sentence ! '' Dylan Marlais Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing broadsheet could only sway his head he was about to turn and release St. Thomas when the male person stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a first horse now ! I can not deny my duty to the mogul elect ! ''

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

'' BE quiet mate ! The Billie Jean King elect is here ! Do not utter so I still wish to deliver you as a Ilex paraguariensis and not a retention ! Such lecture is treason ! '' Dylan Marlais Thomas hissed back.

There was a commotion at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly angry looking Lynx clan female was standing in the broken doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in strawman. Drawing her brand she swung at flier only to experience it blocked by the two blade of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our Ilex paraguariensis ! You will receive to toss off the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now surprised Mileen. With a fury that surprised all present Mileen began to press forward only to be stopped and push back. It was a honorable one-half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to miss ground.

Finally pressed into a street corner Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her left arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled spirit that she finally had an reward everyone but Bill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to cease.

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

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

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` Good, it has been far too long since I have had a commodity competitiveness ! That was my babe wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my business sector ! ``

Niaco swung with a vehemence and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this just in a long time ! Finally backed into a street corner again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

'' I think it is my married man you should bow to, Mileen. '' Niaco told the female.

Nodding Mileen turned toward Bill her middle opening wide when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only gaze at him .
