MARCUS ALRIKSON LEANED back in the ergonomic comfort of the luxurious leather chairâhis one extravagance in an office he spent way too much of his time in. But needs must when the devil drove. Even when the devil was his own personal demonâthe one that ensured he never lost sight of the need to succeed.
Right now his focus was on ensuring that the royal wedding was a success. It could be argued that as Chief Advisor to the Prince of Lycander his remit didnât include wedding planningâand in truth the brideâs dress and the groomâs choice of tie didnât interest him in the slightest. The security of the royal nuptials, however, was very much his responsibilityâafter all alongside his role of Chief Advisor he also headed up Alrikson Security, a byword in security provision services across Europe.
There was also the fact that he had a great deal of respect for Prince Frederickâthe Prince was a good man, a ruler with a vision for the future of Lycander. A vision shared by Marcus.
He focused on the screen and studied his plan. His formidable brain assessed the risks, considered the most acute of angles, searched for the tiniest of chinks in the armour of defence and protocol that surrounded the upcoming wedding extravaganza.
In mere weeks Prince Frederick of Lycander would marry Sunita Bashwani-Greenberg, an ex-supermodel and mother of his two-year-old son Amil.
The union was a love-match that the people of Lycander had mixed feelings about. Frederickâs ascent to the throne had been shrouded in tragedy and scandal, and it had taken him two years of fair and just rule even to begin the process of bringing the Lycandrian people round. And the throne still wobbledâFrederick had many enemies who would happily overthrow him and end Lycanderâs monarchy, enemies who would sabotage the wedding.
