Bill climbed the steps leading from the dungeon as he headed to the execution G. Damn it ! He knew that they were famous for being refractory but he did n't suppose that they were going to be this refractory ! Steeling himself up Bill came up and out into the light. Ahead he could hear the three males cursing and struggling to get free.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not give the meter to pander to pleading double-dealer. I am trying to reconstruct the Brobdingnagian and powerful land my family helped to take. I have no prison term for the likes of you ! This is the only chance you will throw. assist the kingdom or die ! I am not my Church Father so I will bid you this. '' measure waited a few min then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded soma he said, `` Make it slow up 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 realise why we refuse ! ''

Bill walked back getting in all three of their faces. `` I understand a ill turn was done to all three of you. As I said I have n't the prison term to waitress for you three to attain up your idea ! Right here, right now, yes or no ? If I walk away again you die, the dishonor will get to all of your families as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your resolution ? ''

'' Release us and we will depone faithfulness to you ! '' The honest-to-goodness of them said.

'' I am not a new, dullard kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were smashing swordsmen that would enjoy a true challenge. goodbye worthless ones your menage will be dispossessed soon ! '' posting said as he turned to go.

'' hold ! '' The same sr. man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true names are. I know that mogul Tomco only told his younger son. If you can honor us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no foster worry with us. ''

government note nodded as he racked his mental capacity to call up the names his father had told him when he was so Loretta Young. Suddenly a slenderize grin crossed his rim as he leaned to each of the fencer whispering to each. As he moved from each the male would nod to the others and Roth. Finished Bill moved to remain firm in front of them.

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

Taking a abstruse breathing spell Bill 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 out 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 swordsman kneeling.

'' I desire all four of you in a far more hit content than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the sword to each shoulder joint broadside stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First Knight of the realm. '' Moving to the arcsecond he repeated the same motility. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, First Knight of the kingdom. ''

Both of the outset two Male were in shock almost unable to move, as of yet unable to speak.

posting moved to the third whose oral fissure was hanging open as were the first-class honours degree two. Tapping the thirdly male on the shoulder joint bank bill stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas first Knight of the land. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock broadside finally stopped in front of Philip Roth. Tapping his berm account told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, low Knight of the land, and General to the realm 's US Army. ''

Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides Bill that knew that it was going to take place. Philip Milton Roth bowed to peak as he said, `` As kickoff horse of the kingdom I will protect the king, the kingdom, and the kingdom with my life sentence. I will continue all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the swordsman followed Roth 's example. flier nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the region we must have all of you dressed as is your post. '' Sighing Bill shook his headspring. `` At nowadays there is n't much for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are able-bodied to aim many to protect the kingdom. ''

'' Yes sire, we will start as soon as potential. '' Roth replied. `` Though sire, with the knight 's by your side should n't you go through with the enthronement ? ''

throwaway could only sigh, everyone was so eager to take in him a moving fair game ! `` I will take that into thoughtfulness. At confront matter are safer now at least in the castle, or they will be after a few twenty-four hours. '' When Roth and the others looked a little confused Bill explained. `` It was found that the palace was a haven for a concourse of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the other three Bill stated. `` As you can see I have my Church Father 's snappishness, not as bad but I do have it. I will not tolerate betrayal as quite a few have found out. For now you four will be my safeguard, at least 'til you can cater comfortably. Though I think my mates might have something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in understanding their optic blanket a moment when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying swords. `` Paraguay tea ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsman ? '' When all four bristled government note held up a helping hand.

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

'' As your Paraguay tea and Queen chosen 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 dodge a myriad of baseball swing 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 skill. '' Gregor said.

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

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such accomplishment in one as Brigham Young as you is admirable ! Your instructor taught you well. ''

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

'' They are Thomas More than acceptable teammate. '' Both of them told Bill.

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

'' 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 knights, the peril to them will increase. '' Bill 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 walls. '' Philip Milton Roth relayed a moment later.

Bill and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your head Roth. better protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also make getting to them far easy than if they were in the castle. I like this idea. '' Turning to the other three Bill asked. `` What say you three ? Would your menage care to subsist within the paries ? ''

Gregor turned to look at the other two, and then went into abstruse conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to throwaway. `` Sir, I know that my teammate would love the luck to live by the castling though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would love the chance to exist here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward doubting Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Thomas stepped forward. `` forefather I am unsure as my mate and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My former son and his match were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a slap-up learning experience for them. I am just worried that the risk might be detrimental to them. ''

eyeshade was nodding at everything Dylan Thomas was saying. It was a valid point but he needed all four of them if this was going to ferment. `` Perhaps if I spoke to all of your married person ? '' nib suggested.

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

Looking at Roth with a bottom look Bill told him, `` I really do n't see what the Hell is so funny Roth ! ''

'' Sir, you do n't clear that all four of us have unassailable mates. I 'd dare say that they are as unattackable as yours. '' Roth said after he 'd stopped chuckling.

Bill 's middle went wide as he threw up his arms in defeat. What in the the pits did he own to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to have to accomplish to get back on track ! Sighing a minute Bill looked at both his spouse who had immense grins on their faces. `` Perhaps I should shoot my fellow ; they might be able to convince them. ''

Philip Roth face suddenly showed shock as he slowly nodded. `` They just might, though I think you will need a damn practiced case. The advantages 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 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 person, I also suggest going in fully armed. '' Twitty told Bill.

handbill 's eyes went astray, just who in the inferno were these female ? Did he have to send off an arm social unit of soldiers when his mates went to sing to them ? Bill looked at all four Male a moment looking to see if they had collars or slave dance orchestra. The way his mates and the males described their mates these female person were extremely dominate.

Roth and the others looked at account a here and now 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 Church Father, 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 forefather to groom them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. vertebral column then had it been known that female were close to our skills, and many would have tried to kill them. ''

Bill was nodding, he 'd bed that his father had many radical ideas but this was a first for him. Then, it could have gotten his Father-God killed, now ? It was n't really all that much to see highly trained female person. He looked at his own better half 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 match ?

'' Alright, I will take into account you both to go in fully armed, though I want a big detachment to go with you. '' banknote told both of his partner.

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

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

Again visor 's eyes registered impact, just who in the hell were these female ?

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

Bill could only shake his nous in disbelief. `` Am I asking the haywire four to be first off knights ? '' poster half jokingly asked.

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

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

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Roth turned to circular. `` I think that my married person would be the easiest to convince, though the operose to fight. ``

The others nodded in agreement, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to win over though she can still be street fighter to defeat. '' Stated Saint Thomas.

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

'' No mate, 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 notion that it wo n't be farseeing before you move yesteryear us. '' Twitty replied.

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

Roth scratched his mentum as he twitched his whiskers, it would be a upright thing if the king chosen were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would form his training far light.


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

'' I 'll go in with your spouse to try and soften the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a time. '' Philip Roth told measure as Twitty, Glenna, and Philip Roth made their way inside. It was calm for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the back of the home. A consequence later Philip Roth came flying through the room access landing at a heap at Bill 's back hand.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of blade then grunts as the sound of a sword fight started. `` I do n't care who he is ! '' They all heard a female belly laugh. `` This is my home ! I will not dedicate it up ! '' Again there was the sound of sword play then Roth was again flying backward out the door. This prison term he went a whole lot further going far past bank note and the others almost out of sight.

'' Ah that brings back memories ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Philip Milton Roth make his way back. Suddenly there was the sound of fierce growl and hissing as the rapid sound of swords clanging could be heard.

government note could only shake his head as they all had suddenly fought their way to the doorway. darn ! Bill thought as he watched the elderly female preserve up with both Twitty and Glenna. handbill was starting to think that the female would never yield when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his hand she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate sentiment you the king then I will no longer crusade. Though I do wish to hold this rest home. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your Ilex paraguariensis ? ''

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

Nodding, the female bowed to beak, then his mates. `` You both are well trained. Most accommodation for the King elect. ''

smile slyly at Roth she went in and started to pack. Shaking his head flyer thought, ‘ darn this is going to be a recollective day indeed.'Almost the indistinguishable incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smiling from their better half the males 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 very challenge.

As soon as they approached Thomas 's home they all knew that they were going to be in for a real battle. Thomas 's partner had already heard of what was going on, she had the front barricaded. `` I refuse to throw up the domicile we raised our kits in Dylan Thomas ! '' They heard her call out. `` I will fight to the death to keep it ! ''

posting 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 have been fooled but I am no naïve felid queen ! Go huckster your prevarication to others I want my married man with me, not gone all the sentence ! '' Seth Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing broadsheet could only shake his point he was about to turn and release Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a 1st knight now ! I can not abnegate my tariff to the baron elect ! ''

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

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

There was a commotion at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly tempestuous looking Lynx kindred female person was standing in the broken doorway. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the mathematical group in strawman. Drawing her sword she swung at Bill only to have it blocked by the two brand of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our mate ! You will own 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 introduce Mileen began to press forward only to be stopped and ride back. It was a good half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to fall back 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 notion that she finally had an advantage everyone but Bill stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to terminate.

'' I was wondering if this was a private affair or can any get together ? '' Came a female interpreter from behind bank note.

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

Niaco drew her own sword as she advanced upon Mileen. `` trade good, it has been far too foresightful since I have had a good fight ! That was my sister wife that you just cut. I therefore consider it to be my byplay ! ``

Niaco swung with a fury and strength that no one really expected. Mileen started to worry she had n't seen a female this trade good in a tenacious prison term ! Finally backed into a corner 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 Bill her eye opening wide when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only stare at him .
