    location.” I was on the shuttle that went out to pick them up. The Grand Marshall was standing behind me as the shuttle came down. “This is an awfully open area for a pick up, Drake.” “It is perfect -- trust me.” “What about those people over there? Any one of them could be a threat.” When she spoke this time, the people she pointed out spun and drew weapons. “Place your hands behind your back, Pralla. They won’t bring out the packages until we are secure.” She looked at me closely. “You really don’t trust anyone, do you?” “It is not me who has to trust here. There are two very scared members of the royal family who have just had a very rough week over there.” Pralla and I turned our backs and placed our hands behind them. Gold leader came on board and slapped me on the shoulder. “Is she uncompromised?” “I read her scan report myself. She is clear and so are both of the pilots.” “Ma’am, you may turn around.” We both turned around and watched as the people moved to the shuttle.

The emperor turned to me. “You are in absolute command until I am verified.” I bowed to him. Then Asta came up and kissed my cheek. “Thank you, Drake.” I looked at the emperor with real worry in my eyes. That simple kiss could send me so deep into the dog house I would never see daylight again. Robert just smiled and walked down the ramp. Three days later, the new emperor had his coronation. Security was so tight that the crown was interrogated before it could enter. The following day, the old emperor and his wife were entombed in the catacombs. One thing during the funeral stuck out in my mind. The grand duchess Daria was in attendance. But she could not keep her eyes off of Asta’s back long enough to pay attention to the funeral. I had my suspicions about the attack at that point. On that day, Robert had appointments out of the palace. If Asta had not decided to go shopping, she would have been there when the shuttles hit. It took several months for everything to settle down. The palace had to be rebuilt, but we used the opportunity to update the security features. We also built several new bolt holes around the city.
