Bill climbed the steps leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution chiliad. bedamn it ! He knew that they were illustrious for being obstinate but he did n't guess that they were going to be this stubborn ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the luminousness. Ahead he could hear the three males cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Philip Roth, I do not have the prison term to pander to pleading betrayer. I am trying to rebuild the immense and powerful kingdom my kin helped to induce. I have no time for the likes of you ! This is the only chance you will have. avail the realm or die ! I am not my father so I will offer up you this. '' Bill waited a few bit then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded build 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 elect then you can understand why we refuse ! ''

government note 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 metre to wait for you three to make up your judgment ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will arrive at all of your sept as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your response ? ''

'' exit us and we will avow faithfulness to you ! '' The sure-enough of them said.

'' I am not a Loretta Young, stupid kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were great swordsman that would delight a true challenge. arrivederci worthless 1 your family will be dispossessed soon ! '' Bill said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The same older man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. William Tell us what our true names are. I know that top executive Tomco only told his unseasoned 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 remember the names his Father had told him when he was so Edward Young. Suddenly a thin grinning crossed his brim as he leaned to each of the swordsman whispering to each. As he moved from each the male person would nod to the others and Roth. Finished account moved to stand in front of them.

'' Sire. '' All three of them said as they tried to kneel in front of him. Philip Milton Roth also knelt next to them as each of them stated. `` I am a citizen of the realm I pledge my lifespan and my sword to the pureness of the realm ! To protect the Billie Jean Moffitt King and the realm ! ``

Taking a mystifying breathing spell flyer nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the wait, 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 succeeding component. Pulling his sire 's sword 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 pass on mental ability than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the get-go of them. Touching the steel to each shoulder Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First Knight of the kingdom. '' Moving to the second he repeated the Same movement. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, start knight of the realm. ''

Both of the first two male were in shock almost unable to be active, as of yet unable to speak.

Bill moved to the third whose mouth was hanging open as were the first two. Tapping the third male on the shoulder placard stated, `` Arise Sir St. Thomas low horse of the realm. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock absorber pecker finally stopped in figurehead of Philip Roth. Tapping his shoulder card told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, first Knight of the Realm, and General to the kingdom 's U. S. Army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only early one besides bill that knew that it was going to pass. Roth bowed to throwaway as he said, `` As First knight of the Realm I will protect the Martin Luther King Jr., the kingdom, and the realm with my living. I will uphold all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsmen followed Philip Roth 's example. Bill nodded as they all stood. `` As horse of the land we must hold all of you dressed as is your post. '' Sighing Bill shook his point. `` At present there is n't much for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are able to rail many to protect the land. ''

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

flier could only sigh, everyone was so eagre to make him a moving target ! `` I will bring that into condition. At give affair are safer now at least in the palace, or they will be after a few sidereal day. '' When Roth and the others looked a petty fuddle government note explained. `` It was found that the palace was a harbor for a multitude of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the other three card stated. `` As you can see I have my Fatherhood 's humor, not as bad but I do take in it. I will not brook betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my guard, at to the lowest degree 'til you can provide better. Though I think my mates might feature something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in understanding their heart wide a minute when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying blade. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsmen ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a handwriting.

'' These three along with Roth are first-class honours degree horse of the Realm. I suggest you address them as such. '' Bill told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

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

Bill rolled his eyes when Twitty attacked with blazing speed being easily repelled. Shifting she moved faster as she went in again, this time she had to parry a ten thousand of swing that Gregor was taking.

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

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

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such science in one as vernal 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 grinning. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are more than acceptable mate. '' Both of them told billhook.

A huge smile on his fount, posting nodded as all four of the males fell in behind beak and his fellow.

'' I know that all of you have family unit now. I wish for all of them to be moved here. I feel that after it is made known that you four are first of all knight, the peril to them will increase. '' card 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 wall. '' Roth relayed a moment later.

measure and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your item Philip Milton Roth. better protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far gentle than if they were in the palace. I like this theme. '' Turning to the early three bank note asked. `` What say you three ? Would your folk care to experience within the walls ? ''

Gregor turned to appear at the former two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to Bill. `` Sir, I know that my mate would have a go at it the chance to live by the castle though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the chance to live here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward doubting 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 partner were killed in an fortuity. I know that this would be a groovy learning experience for them. I am just worried that the risk might be detrimental to them. ''

Bill was nodding at everything Thomas was saying. It was a valid gunpoint but he needed all four of them if this was going to work. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your mates ? '' Bill suggested.

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

Looking at Roth with a can look note told him, `` I really do n't see what the nether region is so funny Philip Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't realize that all four of us have unattackable mates. I 'd defy say that they are as strong as yours. '' Philip Roth said after he 'd break chuckling.

pecker 's eyes went wide of the mark as he threw up his munition in licking. What in the sin did he get to do for thing to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to take in to fulfil to get back on track ! Sighing a moment billhook looked at both his mates who had huge grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my mates ; they might be capable to convince them. ''

Roth expression suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will need a tinker's dam good case. The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages. Maybe if you go about it that way they might. Again, I am diffident they are very set in their ways now. ''

Both of Bill 's mates had shocked looks 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 female, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told Federal Reserve note.

Bill 's oculus went wide-eyed, just who in the hell were these female person ? Did he own to send an build up whole of soldiers when his mates went to talk to them ? Bill looked at all four male person a moment looking to see if they had collars or slave lot. The way his mates and the Male described their mates these female person were extremely overtop.

Roth and the others looked at throwaway a present moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a grin Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your don, they were n't this way. With the increasing dangers that we and later they started to case we were able-bodied to convert your father to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. Back then had it been known that females were close to our attainment, and many would birth tried to obliterate them. ''

handbill was nodding, he 'd have it off that his forefather had many radical approximation but this was a first for him. Then, it could have gotten his Church Father killed, now ? It was n't really all that a lot 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 swordsmen 's mates ?

'' Alright, I will provide you both to go in fully armed, though I want a tumid disengagement to go with you. '' Bill told both of his mates.

'' Uh, '' Twitty started. `` That might not be too Isaac Mayer Wise teammate. ''

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

Again Bill 's eyes registered shock, just who in the hell were these females ?

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

notice could only agitate his head in incredulity. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be first knights ? '' beak half jokingly asked.

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

'' Who do you think will be the easiest to convince ? '' Bill asked of the six males and female there.

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

The others nodded in agreement, `` I think my first mate might be the strong to convert though she can still be yobbo to defeat. '' Stated Thomas.

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

'' No mate, it would be advisable if you waited 'til we secured their hope. You are not as well prepare as we are yet. Though I have a feeling that it wo n't be long before you move past us. '' Twitty replied.

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

Philip Roth scratched his chin as he twitched his hair, it would be a good thing if the top executive elect were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would make his training far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your mates to try and mince the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Roth told placard as Twitty, Glenna, and Philip Roth made their way inside. It was hushed for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the rachis of the rest home. A moment later Roth came flying through the door landing at a hatful at Bill 's vertebral column hand.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of sword then grunts as the speech sound of a sword fight started. `` I do n't handle who he is ! '' They all heard a female scream. `` This is my home ! I will not give it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword play then Roth was again flying backward out the doorway. This sentence he went a completely lot further going far yesteryear account and the others almost out of heap.

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

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

kneeling at his paws she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my checkmate thought you the king then I will no longer fight back. Though I do wish to keep this habitation. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your spouse ? ''

bank bill looked at the older female and motioned for her to rise, `` yes they are, mate of Philip Roth. This will always be your home no topic what. Stepping close government note told her, `` I will pretend sure of that. ''

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

grin slyly at Philip Roth she went in and started to take. Shaking his head neb thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a long day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's home, after the sly smiling from their couple the male were a little in shock. All three of the males were surprised that their mates had n't gone longer though they were glad that they were on board, now came the real challenge.

As soon as they approached St. Thomas 's abode they all knew that they were going to be in for a real battle. Thomas 's mate had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to dedicate up the home we raised our outfit in Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will fight to the death to go on it ! ''

Bill stepped forward yelling back, `` No one is taking your base ! It will ... ''

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is lies ! The others may induce been fooled but I am no naïve felid queer ! Go huckster your lie to others I want my husband with me, not gone all the time ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing pecker could only didder his promontory he was about to turn and release Thomas when the Male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a first horse now ! I can not deny my duty to the male monarch chosen ! ''

'' King elect ? That coward is still on earth ! We have no Billie Jean King now all is ... '' Mileen shouted.

'' BE tranquillise mate ! The king chosen is here ! Do not speak so I still wish to own you as a mate and not a storage ! Such talk is treason ! '' Dylan Marlais Thomas hissed back.

There was a ruction at the front room access then the roadblock was exploding outward. A truly tempestuous looking Lynx kindred female person was standing in the go doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in front. Drawing her sword she swung at Bill only to have it blocked by the two swords of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our checkmate ! You will birth to kill the both of us first ! '' Both Twitty and Glenna were growling out as they viciously attacked a now surprised Mileen. With a ferocity that surprised all present Mileen began to squeeze 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 quoin Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her left arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled intuitive feeling that she finally had an advantage everyone but Bill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to blockade.

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

'' This is a common soldier intimacy unless you are family line. '' An outrage Mileen hissed at the fledgling. Then her mouth dropped agape when she realized that the newcomer was pansy Niaco !

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

Niaco swung with a fury and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this good in a longsighted time ! Finally backed into a recess again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

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

Nodding Mileen turned toward poster her optic opening wide when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
