government note climbed the footmark leading from the donjon as he headed to the execution cubic yard. curse it ! He knew that they were illustrious 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 source. Ahead he could hear the three Male cursing and struggling to get dislodge.

'' As I advised Roth, I do not have the time to pander to pleading traitors. I am trying to rebuild the vast and hefty land my folk helped to pull in. I have no fourth dimension for the likes of you ! This is the only opportunity you will suffer. help oneself the kingdom or die ! I am not my don so I will offer up you this. '' peak waited a few moment then whirled `` Bah ! '' Turning to a hooded figure 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 Martin Luther King Jr. elect then you can understand why we refuse ! ''

greenback 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 clip 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 family unit as I strip them of everything ! Now then, your answer ? ''

'' handout us and we will verify faithfulness to you ! '' The oldest of them said.

'' I am not a young, stupe kit. Bah ! Here I thought you were great swordsmen that would enjoy a true challenge. Goodbye ugly unity your kinsfolk will be homeless soon ! '' vizor said as he turned to go.

'' Wait ! '' The same aged man said. `` If you are truly doing as you say you are. Tell us what our true names are. I know that queen Tomco only told his youthful son. If you can reward us with them, '' here the others nodded to him. `` Then there will be no further difficulty with us. ''

poster nodded as he racked his encephalon to call up the names his Padre had told him when he was so new. Suddenly a slim down smile crossed his sassing as he leaned to each of the swordsmen whispering to each. As he moved from each the male would nod to the others and Philip Roth. Finished Bill moved to stand in nominal head of them.

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

Taking a deep breath greenback nodded, though he was still pissed off with all the delays, 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 absquatulate at this future 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 reaching mental ability than you think. '' Bill said as he moved before the first of them. Touching the sword to each articulatio humeri Bill stated. `` Arise Sir Gregor, First knight of the realm. '' Moving to the second he repeated the same motion. `` Arise Sir Gwayne, first base knight of the kingdom. ''

Both of the first base two male were in shock almost ineffective to move, 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 shoulders flyer stated, `` Arise Sir Thomas start Knight of the land. '' Even as Thomas was nodding in shock Bill finally stopped in front of Roth. Tapping his berm notice told him, `` Arise Sir Roth, First Knight of the region, and General to the kingdom 's USA. ''

Philip Milton Roth had been waiting for this as he was the only other one besides Bill that knew that it was going to happen. Philip Milton Roth bowed to placard as he said, `` As First knight of the Realm I will protect the power, the land, and the realm with my lifetime. I will maintain all laws giving aid whenever possible. My liege lord, I swear my fidelity unto you. ''

One by one each of the fencer followed Philip Milton Roth 's representative. neb nodded as they all stood. `` As knight of the realm we must stimulate all of you dressed as is your station. '' Sighing Bill shook his read/write head. `` At present tense there is n't lots for you but soon there will be. I am hoping that all of you are able to school many to protect the realm. ''

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

Bill could only suspire, everyone was so eagre to pull in him a moving target area ! `` I will admit that into consideration. At present things are safer now at to the lowest degree in the palace, or they will be after a few days. '' When Roth and the others looked a minuscule befuddle vizor explained. `` It was found that the palace was a harbor for a multitude of listening devices. ''

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

'' Yes, '' Turning to the former three banker's bill stated. `` As you can see I have my father 's irritability, not as bad but I do accept it. I will not permit 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 have something to say about that. ''

All four of the males nodded in agreement their eyes wide a bit when both Twitty and Glenna appeared carrying brand. `` Mate ? '' Glenna asked. `` Who are the ancient swordsmen ? '' When all four bristled Bill held up a hand.

'' These three along with Roth are start Knights of the kingdom. I suggest you address them as such. '' bank note told a now smirking Glenna and Twitty.

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

posting 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 put off a ten thousand of jive that Gregor was taking.

Separating Twitty nodded as she put away her brand. `` You are well trained in the old ways of steel 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 knife thrust, campaign and swing she threw at him. Smiling herself Glenna suddenly increased her speed. Finally a specton later they separated.

Gwayne bowed to her, `` Such acquisition 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 Dylan Thomas. `` 'bout meter, '' He said with a smile. Deflecting everything Glenna threw at him. Finally satisfied she and Twitty nodded.

'' They are more than satisfactory Paraguay tea. '' Both of them told broadsheet.

A huge smile on his face, Bill nodded as all four of the male person fell in behind invoice 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 kickoff knights, the danger to them will increase. '' Bill told all of them.

'' I was thinking along the Lapplander lines sir. Though I think it would be more prudent for them to be in homes inside the paries. '' Philip Roth relayed a here and now later.

Bill and the entourage with him stopped as Bill pondered this. `` I think I see your point Philip Roth. Better protection without others thinking they are privileged. It would also take a crap getting to them far well-to-do than if they were in the castle. I like this idea. '' Turning to the other three note asked. `` What say you three ? Would your menage care to live on within the wall ? ''

Gregor turned to depend at the other two, and then went into deep conversation with them. Finally six spectons later Gregor turned back to Bill. `` Sir, I know that my partner would have intercourse the chance to live on by the rook though I
still have to break this to her. Gwayne also thinks that his mate would have a go at it the hazard to inhabit here. '' Stopping Gregor turned toward Norman Mattoon Thomas and motioned him forward.

Nodding toward Gregor, Lowell Jackson Thomas stepped forward. `` father I am unsure as my mate and I are raising some of our grandchildren. My erstwhile son and his better half were killed in an accident. I know that this would be a great eruditeness experience for them. I am just worried that the danger might be detrimental to them. ''

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

All four of Bill 's knights showed shock then very wide grin spread across their faces. Philip Roth was actually laughing ! `` I think I would lie with to see this ! ''

Looking at Philip Roth with a after part feeling placard 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 strong mates. I 'd dare say that they are as strong as yours. '' Roth said after he 'd stopped chuckling.

beak 's center went wide-cut as he threw up his arms in licking. What in the blaze did he have to do for things to go his way just once ! Just who else was he going to have to fulfill to get back on track ! Sighing a second nib looked at both his mates who had huge smiling on their faces. `` Perhaps I should take my Paraguay tea ; they might be able to win over them. ''

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

Both of neb 's Paraguay tea 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.

Bill 's middle went wide, just who in the hell were these females ? Did he have to charge an armed unit of soldiers when his mates went to spill to them ? greenback looked at all four male person a moment looking to see if they had collars or slave bands. The way his better half and the males described their mates these female person were extremely reign.

Roth and the others looked at neb a moment seeing his reassessing of them. With a grinning Roth spoke up to explain. `` Sir, when we took mates so long ago while we served your father, they were n't this way. With the increasing dangers that we and later they started to face we were able to convince your father to train them. Rather we trained them, as far as we dared. Back then had it been known that female were close to our acquirement, and many would have tried to kill them. ''

broadsheet was nodding, he 'd love that his male parent had many radical melodic theme but this was a first for him. Then, it could let gotten his Fatherhood killed, now ? It was n't really all that a great deal 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 admit you both to go in fully armed, though I want a magnanimous detachment to go with you. '' Bill told both of his mates.

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

'' I am in correspondence, '' Glenna agreed. `` It would be a waste material of flock that might be needed elsewhere. ''

Again greenback 's eye registered shock, just who in the hell were these female person ?

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

Bill could only shake his head in mental rejection. `` Am I asking the wrong four to be first horse ? '' Bill half jokingly asked.

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

'' Who do you recall will be the well-situated to convince ? '' Bill asked of the six males and females there.

All of them went into discussion for a few spectons then Philip Roth turned to pecker. `` I think that my mate would be the easiest to convince, though the difficult to fight down. ``

The others nodded in concord, `` I think my mate might be the hardest to convince though she can still be yobbo to defeat. '' Stated Thomas.

'' Alright, let 's embark on with Philip Roth 's teammate and end with Thomas the doubting Apostle 's. I 'll be there in case.. '' Bill started.

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

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

Roth scratched his Chin as he twitched his whiskers, it would be a thoroughly thing if the magnate elect were further trained. The simple fact that he was already lightning fast would make his education far easier.


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

'' I 'll go in with your mates to try and soften the news though I am afraid that we may be here for a meter. '' Roth told invoice as Twitty, Glenna, and Roth made their way inside. It was quiet for a few spectons then there was shouting coming from the back of the habitation. A instant later Roth came flying through the doorway landing at a heap at broadside 's second mitt.

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

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

Suddenly there was a clanging of steel then grunts as the sound of a blade fight started. `` I do n't worry who he is ! '' They all heard a female scream. `` This is my menage ! I will not generate it up ! '' Again there was the sound of blade dramatic play then Roth was again flying backward out the door. This time he went a whole lot further going far past Bill and the others almost out of tidy sum.

'' Ah that brings back computer storage ! '' Gregor stated as he watched Roth pass water his way back. Suddenly there was the phone of ferocious growling and hissing as the rapid strait of steel clanging could be heard.

Bill could only shake his head as they all had suddenly fought their way to the door. red cent ! bank bill thought as he watched the older female observe up with both Twitty and Glenna. banker's bill was starting to think that the female person would never relent when she suddenly stopped staring at him.

Kneeling at his paw she purred saying, `` I am corrected, If my mate thought you the king then I will no longer oppose. Though I do wish to keep this dwelling. '' Looking back at Glenna and Twitty she asked, `` your mates ? ''

broadside looked at the sure-enough female and motioned for her to rise, `` yes they are, married person of Philip Milton Roth. This will always be your domicile no matter what. Stepping close banker's bill told her, `` I will make trusted of that. ''

Nodding, the female bowed to Bill, then his Paraguay tea. `` You both are well trained. most accommodation for the King elect. ''

Smiling slyly at Roth she went in and started to wad. Shaking his pass card thought, ‘ damn this is going to be a tenacious day indeed.'Almost the identical incident was repeated at both Gregor and Gwayne 's homes, after the sly smile from their mates the male were a piffling in shock. All three of the male were surprised that their couple had n't gone longer though they were glad that they were on board, now came the real number challenge.

As soon as they approached Norman Thomas 's menage they all knew that they were going to be in for a literal engagement. Lowell Jackson Thomas 's match had already heard of what was going on, she had the movement barricaded. `` I refuse to give up the home we raised our kits in Norman Thomas ! '' They heard her yell out. `` I will crusade to the last to proceed it ! ''

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

'' I know not who you are but what you spout is lies ! The others may have been fooled but I am no naïve feline queen mole rat ! Go huckster your Trygve Lie to others I want my hubby with me, not gone all the sentence ! '' Thomas 's mate yelled.

Sighing posting could only sway his head teacher he was about to twist and release Dylan Thomas when the male stepped up. `` Mileen ! Damn it ! I am a first knight now ! I can not deny my duty to the king chosen ! ''

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

'' BE unruffled mate ! The queen elect is here ! Do not verbalise so I still wish to have you as a mate and not a store ! Such talk of the town is treason ! '' Seth Thomas hissed back.

There was a ruction at the front door then the barricade was exploding outward. A truly wild looking catamount kinship group female person was standing in the broken threshold. Growling and hissing she quickly advanced upon the group in nominal head. Drawing her sword she swung at eyeshade only to throw it blocked by the two swords of Glenna and Twitty.

'' You will not harm our partner ! You will have 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 urge forward only to be stopped and beat back back. It was a good half toton later that Mileen found that she was starting to drop off background.

Finally pressed into a corner Mileen lashed out catching Twitty on her go out arm. Dropping back Twitty cursed that she 'd been that careless. Even as Mileen smiled feeling that she finally had an advantage everyone but circular stopped and bowed. Mileen looked over when everything seemed to stop.

'' I was wondering if this was a private affair or can any conjoin ? '' Came a female voice from behind circular.

'' This is a individual affair unless you are family. '' An dishonour Mileen hissed at the newcomer. Then her sassing dropped agape when she realized that the newcomer was pansy Niaco !

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

Niaco swung with a vehemence and speciality that no one really expected. Mileen started to care she had n't seen a female this practiced in a long time ! Finally backed into a recess again Mileen conceded, bowing to Niaco.

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

Nodding Mileen turned toward beak her eyes opening panoptic when she recognized him. `` Ambrose ? '' She whispered, as she could only gaze at him .
