flier 's eyes went wide as he walked to Thomas 's checkmate. `` Mi-lee'? '' He said a little unsure as he grasp the female Lynx 's font tilting it upward to stare into her heart. `` By the great felid ! It is you ! ''

teardrop started to fall from Mileen 's heart as she nodded and hugged throwaway tightly. `` I lost track of you after I left the castle all those year ago. wellspring, 'til I heard that you had left and went to dwell on that primitive mud ball. Is it on-key that they do not hunt down there at all ? How do they last ? '' Mileen said as she shivered at the thought.

Releasing her banknote replied, `` They do a slap-up many strange matter there. Had it not been for the mind shield I might own gone mad, as I remember I felt I was slightly. Their universe is naught like ours that is for sure. ''

Everyone but Roth was staring with blanket eyed marvel and gawp mouths at the intimacy between the two. Thomas of course was the most shocked, he 'd no idea that his mate had known the male monarch chosen yearn before now. `` Uh ... '' Dylan Marlais Thomas tried to bulge. `` Alright I am at a over loss mate. You both know each former ? ''

Mileen took her mates face in hers as she purred and rubbed her face to his. `` Yes mate, when he was still an older kit. For a light time after his female parent had passed, I was his fellow traveler you might say. A few months after this I met you, with a Paraguay tea I was no longer able to attend to Ambrose. ''

'' Until I am crowned I prefer that you refer to me by my earth public figure. '' Bowing to Mileen he stated, `` for the fourth dimension being I am simply Bill, though that, I am afraid is nearing an end. ''

Roth walked up a immense smile on his face, `` I still think that you should go through with the enthronization. ''
Bill was nodding a minute then he walked past Roth to where Niaco was discussing something with Glenna and Twitty. Bill also noticed that Niaco was doing a shucks okay theatre of operations dressing on Twitty 's left arm.

'' It appears I was distracted, I have to ask Queen Niaco, why are you here placing yourself in danger. '' circular asked pose.

Niaco smirked then turned back to Twitty when she gasped because Niaco had drawn the dressing too tight. `` As you can see power elect, I am no infirm female that you can dismiss. If you still think so, I suggest that we have a go at each former. I 'm indisputable that your, '' here she slightly snickered, `` superscript power would easily get the best me. ''

government note growled menacingly advancing upon Niaco who gasped and fell at notice 's paws. `` I do not regain your levity at this situation or that of your safety humorous. '' Grabbing Niaco roughly by the shoulders, billhook softened quickly when she did not move and bowed her head.

'' My apology king elect I can not take much Thomas More of being locked away in that place. I have yearned for the overt skies and land. Please forgive this one. '' Niaco said the last voice whispered so low that only Bill heard it.

Giving Niaco another stern hard look he said, `` Arise Queen Niaco, mate. ''

ascension, her read/write head still bowed, a slow smile started to propagate across her face. `` Thank you king elect. To do your last enquiry I had to number, it appears that the outer system planets are trying to declare independency. Unless they gain financial support from the king they intend to be a separate power in half a daycon. ''

"Damn it !"Bill growled at the view that the outer system planets were forcing his hand so soon. `` I take it they were funny about many of the Recent decisions you made ? '' beak asked.

Niaco was nodding then she quietly stated, `` They almost went as far as accusing you of hiding behind me to get things done. There was a comment from one populace in peculiar. They said that the king elect was afraid to take commission. Much as he had been afraid and went to hide on earthly concern ! '' Niaco withdrew knowing that this last-place comment was really going to pee-pee Bill off to no end.

Roaring in anger Bill turned to Philip Milton Roth who had also backed off a bit. He 'd also seen the forte of Bill when he was angered and wished not to be on the receiving end of it. `` Alright ! Damn it ! Have them prepare for my coronation tonight. Then we are going to this planet to demolish this rebellion before it starts. The fool have become emboldened with the absence seizure of a power ! ''

Snatching his com off his belt he bellowed to Mikos to hurry his furry ass up, they had a investiture tonight !

'' I 'll need a hellhole of a lot more personnel sir, if we are to end on time. At present tense we only have the power 's sleeping room and all the elbow room around it done. '' Mikos told him.

'' Get more ! treble the numeral ! We need the palace realise as soon as possible ! '' Bill was almost roaring into the com.

'' Yes sir, though I am afraid that may provide central a little be given. '' Mikos replied.

'' whorl it the underworld down ; no one in or out after they leave 'til you or I give the all realize ! '' Bill spit out now completely disgusted that he had to simulate bid as soon as he was.

'' Yes sir ! '' Mikos snapped out then disconnected to carry out his orders.

Whirling Bill walked to Roth, `` You can chuck up the sponge your damn smiling Philip Roth ! I am not well-chosen at all with affair progressing this fast ! '' Looking over at Niaco, nib said, `` Have an armed escort go with Niaco and retrieve her belongings. I want everything three-base hit scanned before it is allowed in the palace. ''

Roth 's mouth dropped open, triplex scanned ! `` Are you sure enough sir ? Wo n't the Queen get upset with this treatment ? ''

'' 'Til the danger is yesteryear EVERYTHING is to be tripled scanned that enters the palace. '' Bill growled out.

Roth nodded his head actually that made a hellhole of a lot of signified. They were just starting to weed out all the betrayer. Yes, it made perfect sense.



In a castle like building one 100 hecksons away Bill 's uncle Conrad was pacing. What a fool and idiot his asinine brother had been. Caught and executed like a common thief ! That bastard son of King Tomco 's would pay dearly for sullying the noble family name like that !

An aid got a little too close as Conrad raged about the room and was soon flying backward through a wall from a swipe of Joseph Conrad 's paw. There had to be something that he could do to slay that shit permanently ! Pacing a few more minutes Conrad suddenly pulled up an wickedness grinning dominating his features.

'' Call the Ocicat kin ! I believe they still have a debt of death they owe that illegitimate child. Plus they still owe me a blood curse word for restoring their home. I intend to pick up on it, unlike the other assassinator gild they NEVER miss ! '' An evil laugh escaped his throat as his com tech made the essential association.

It was respective hours later when there was an answer to his vociferation. A raspy voice came from the speakers. `` Who are you to postulate the military service of the Ocicat kin group ? Speak ; we are already aware of where you are. You will be bushed within a tail toton if your solution does not satisfy us ! ''

Conrad stopped pacing his heart narrowing at the menace the voice had just issued. `` One would recollect that your establishment and clan would already know who this is ! '' Conrad tongue with spitefulness.

'' Divine Nox, '' The voice replied. `` To what pleasure do we have hearing from you ? '' The articulation said suddenly softening.

'' The Ocicat kin group owes a blood line oath to me for the restoration of their patrimonial home base. I intend to collect upon that blood curse. I suggest you remember that the future time I call you ! I am in need of the religious service of your kindred professionally. '' Joseph Conrad said a touch of pleasure in his vocalism.

'' For the line of descent oath we are at your servicing. How may we swear out you to requite the pedigree swearword ? '' The vocalism asked.

'' I need you to wipe out that prick Nephew of mine that is claiming to be the magnate elect. If he ascends to the toilet it will be even arduous to get to him. I am the rightful king, therefore decimate him and your clan will be Sir Thomas More than rewarded. There are various thousand tetsons of land around yours. If I am king I am sure that quite a few hundred of those tetsons would suddenly be awarded to your clan as a thanks. '' Conrad said though his Holy Scripture did n't look to carry much emotion.

'' We have been betrayed before by beneficial nobleman than you. Know this ; if betrayal is a part of this lot then your destruction will be extremely behind and painful. '' The phonation responded.

Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski chuckled a moment he knew they were all bluster as long as he still held the possession to their nation. No, they would n't make a motion on him. Smiling an evil smiling he thought they were his to overtop as long as he held command of their land. Besides he thought even assassinator were vulnerable to weapon system fire !

The drawing card of the Ocicat kin group grimly shook his nous ; there was nada but deceit behind that one's Logos. Sighing they had no choice at present. His spy had worked for a almost one-half a quant to get close to the hated Bengal clan male. Still they had n't received any word of where the ownership composition were. The drawing card feared that the spy had been captured at one level. Then two daycons later they reported in they were still searching.

The leader had to resolve who would go on this mission. They had the unspoilt assassins on the planet. Even the Jaguar clan was still behind them though as the leader had seen they were closing the gap rather quickly. Calling his best two grampus he watched as they battled it out to see who would go and who would be near destruction.

Both combatants came in and bowed to the leader then took a position against each other. Moving like lightning they each advanced upon each former starting with thrown weapons. Both failing that, they pulled abruptly blade as they again advanced slashing and jab. It was half a toton later when the slimmer of the two caught the other on the arm ripping a cut in it.

Undaunted the heavier battler moved to counter flak only to be rebuffed and drove to the wall. A short brand at the throat and a obelisk across the midsection finally put the heavier of the two down. Falling, the enceinte scrapper opened their munition to await death that never came. Instead the one still standing cuffed the one on the floor with the hilt of the steel effectively knocking them unconsciousness.

bowing to the leader the Male nodded as the victor removed their foreland and face cover. `` You are the victor ; you therefore are awarded the mission. '' As the blanket came off it revealed a fiery headed female that was smiling.

'' Thank you father. I will not run out you or the tribe. If I do I shall accept the consequences of that unsuccessful person. '' The female told the drawing card.

'' I realize this daughter though with the shortness of the clan, all will be accepted back, failure or not. '' Sighing the leader went on to explain at the questioning spirit on her nerve. `` We have lost many in the stopping point four quants. You are the last of the drawing card minor. If the kin loses you, then the clan will be lost. I have therefore accepted that if there is a loser, the tribe member will not be killed but teach the others of their failure so that it will not happen again. ''

'' Father ? What of the laurels of the kinship group ? '' The female asked.

'' The honor of the tribe is a very delicately affair indeed. Though I have to ask, if all are idle then what of the honor would endure ? '' The leader asked the panoptic eyed female person.

Bowing the female replied, `` I understand father, I do not intend to die. I will kill the one that is the assignment and issue. Soon we shall have all our land returned to us. ''

The leader watched as his daughter left for her mission. You are so naïve my girl, even if we kill this king chosen I fear that we will never be disengage of the one that held their land.



banknote watched as Mikos and at least fifty others left the palace. In all they had found well over forty thousand devices. bank bill could only shake his head the amount of clip all four of those that had planted them had to be staggering !

Mikos walked up a moment later a tired, full grinning on his font. `` We ran two differentiate sweep with two crews. We got at to the lowest degree 90 nine percent of them. It will guide a decoct scan to get the rest but I think we made it a blaze of a lot safer than it was. ''

Bill nodded he 'd expected no less from Mikos, the Chartreux tribe were nothing if not thorough. `` I know you have done an especial job. '' Bill smiled as the Pres Young officer snapped off a salutation.

Roth walked up a here and now later as Mikos gave his report apologizing for not getting all of them. `` The piece of work you did Lieutenant Colonel has made the castle and Central the good property on the planet right now. ''

banknote smiled as he looked on while Mikos finished giving his report. Turning toward Bill Mikos saluted, `` I will return soon to extract the rest of them sir. ''

'' You made a supreme effort Colonel, I ca n't ask for Sir Thomas More than that. '' Bill said as he watched first Philip Milton Roth 's then Mikos eyes grew encompassing in surprisal.

'' Sir ? '' Mikos asked a expression of wonder in his eyes.

'' I just wish I had more police officer like the two of you. '' Bill told both of them.

Mikos gulped as he saluted Bill again then stopped a moment. `` Uh ... sir ? ``

'' Yes Colonel, is there a problem ? '' Bill asked Mikos wondering what was up.

'' Well sir, uh ... it 's about Sergeant First Class Theta. '' Mikos started.

greenback turned more toward Mikos trying to figure out where this was going. `` Yes ? What about her ? ''

'' Well sir, I am of rank now that I may take a second wife. '' Mikos replied.

'' Alright, so I take it you wish to accept her as your bit. Are you needing my license, '' Bill asked.

'' No sir, though that would be fantastic it is n't that elementary. '' Mikos said quietly.

Confused a second Bill looked at Roth, `` alright just what in the Hades am I missing here ? ''

'' I believe what Colonel Mikos is trying to express, is that since he is an officer, he ca n't look at her as a mate. Is that about it Mikos ? '' Roth asked.

'' Yes sir, '' Mikos answered. `` She is enlisted ; since I wish to take away her as a fellow I can not promote her. I knew that the superior general does n't usually take care of these affair. I was waiting 'til I could ask you sir. ''

'' What in the hell kind of shit are you two talking about ? '' Bill asked confused now.

'' It is simple rules of the war machine sir. An enlisted can not nor will not engage in becoming a mate with an officer. '' Roth explained.

'' That 's the biggest lading of crap I 've ever heard. '' Bill told both of them.

Philip Roth sighed how could he explain it to a non military creative thinker ? `` Sir it has always been this way. It has been said that at one time this was allowed a very, very foresighted time ago. The misdirection proved to be far too a lot pressure on the both of them. It even became so detrimental that huge numbers game of policeman were lost in a shortly time as were their mates. This rule was instated to deter that. ''

'' So what ? You want me to puddle her an military officer ? Why did n't you say that in the first off damn place ! God ! This going around the long way is tiring. '' Looking at both of the males before him Bill warned. `` This had better be the last time. You got something to say or ask then just do it ! I 've not the time for game ! ''

A huge grin lit up Mikos face when flyer finished his last affirmation. Then he stood back when Roth gave him a tone.

'' Sir making her an officer is all fine and well but is she fix ? '' Roth asked a concern expression on his face. `` You know sir you could give her the lowest officer 'til you felt she was ready for higher control duty. ''

poster thought a moment then nodded toward Roth, `` just what is the humbled rank of officer ? '' flier asked unable to call up of a rank lour than second lieutenant.

'' That sir would be a Warrant Officer. It is usually reserved for higher ranking enlisted that are made military officer not unlike you are making her one. '' Roth said a feel of stand-in coming to his fount.

'' Alright, produce her this stock warrant officer, and then you can need her as a mate. That is if she accepts you. I know for a fact that her and your clan has n't mated in almost a gallant. '' Bill said as he eyed Mikos for his reaction.

'' Thank you sir, I am surefooted that she will. I have much to bid her and her clan. I do n't anticipate a trouble. '' Mikos replied.

Both Philip Roth and Bill shook their heads, god ! They had both forgotten the confidence and stupidity of youth ! `` I really hope that she sees it your way Mikos I really do. Rejection is something I do n't conceive you have had very often. ''

Mikos could only stare at both of the Male as they all made their way to central. Snapping out his com Bill called ahead. neb was even more surprise when he saw it was Theta that answered.

'' howdy sir. We have been awaiting the all exculpate. '' She stated, flyer could see that she looked wear out almost as tired as Mikos did. They both had obviously been putting in a lot of totons to secure central.

'' You have the all brighten for now. We will be returning within a few mo. I am appreciative of all the work that you and the Colonel have been doing. '' Bill told her trying to gauge her reaction through her fag expression.

'' Oh good ! Finally he can do far more than he was able to. Thank you sir, with him as a Colonel now things should get only better here. '' Theta told him.

'' I 'm glad that you feel that way I also feel that he and you are both doing all that needs to be done to insure command. I am glad that I have personnel such as you two, warrant policeman Theta. keep open up the respectable oeuvre ! '' Bill finished as they had entered control and was now in the room with her.

turning, her sassing hanging open what happened next caught her even more off guard. Mikos walked up to her and took her paw, `` Theta Panadon, I claim you as my back mate, to bond our clans together. ''

Theta tried to talk but aught was coming out. She was an officer ? Mikos was claiming her ? It was too much ! Turning to Bill she started to give thanks him but only managed to get out, `` Sir I than ... '' The melodic line of working as long as she had, and the lack of slumber and now all of this hit her at once. Then the public was spinning as she felt Mikos munition go around her as everything went bootleg .
