Countess Katarina Karkov enjoys rare freedom, even if this freedom is very limited and far away from the earth, even if this freedom falsely demonstrates the kindness of the emperor, she still misses this life under the flashlight and behaves
She is like a fish in water. She is the only one on the space station who has time to grab the idle reporters. With her impeccable conversation skills and full tours, the interview schedule allows those pesky reporters to focus on the technological progress of Latvinia instead of groundless absurdities.
As for rumors, most of these nasty guys are tasked with turning everything they see here into new rumors. Therefore, the communication system of the space station is not open to the press team, and the scientific researchers are completely separated from them.
, go to the other side of the space station to perform research and experiments.
"I would suggest arranging a landing accident. A regrettable accident caused by someone being overly excited and violating safety regulations... This kind of thing is very common, especially among reporters hungry for headlines." Katarina
Countess Karkov sincerely made a suggestion to the emperor at the dinner table, "I can guarantee that if they are allowed to return to the surface alive, all the scientific and technological advancements you invited them to visit will become a powerful force for the Latvinian threat theory.
evidence."
"I hope you and Natasha Romanoff have identified the spy in the press corps."
"The list in my hand has been selected, my lord." Although she could hear the rejection in the subtext, the countess still refused to give up. Countess Katarina Karkov poured the emperor's drink with a smile on her face.
She ordered a glass of wine, and the bottle she selected from more than three hundred bottles of wine lived up to her expectations. The emperor liked it very much. "If you are willing to give me the honor of executing the spy... No, I will not
I will slit the man's throat myself, but I believe Ms. Tita will be happy to carry out this bloody task. Or do you prefer an accident that cannot be charged?"
Hammurabi couldn't help but glance at her.
Countess Katarina Karkov leaned forward slightly, brewing a vicious plot on the tip of her tongue. She had obviously forgotten the emperor's behavior, and even became more and more excited as she spoke. "Pietro Maximov arranged for the press corps to conduct interviews after his vacation.
A spacewalk training." The countess raised her wine glass, and the bright starlight shone through the armored portholes on her smooth back and arms, making the gems inlaid on her necklace and earrings sparkle. Countess Katarina Karkov brought
With chilling beauty and coquettishness, those slender eyes that were captivating stared closely at the emperor's slender fingers, "A regrettable accident, a respected reporter risked his life for the sake of the truth and violated operating regulations.
Turn off the magnetic boots and untie the safety rope just to peek into the porthole that the press group is not allowed to visit? What a great thirst for knowledge and exploration. Maybe there will be a street named after him on the surface, and there will even be a mourning ceremony.
That reporter will receive a huge bouquet of flowers that he has never received in his life. Oh, what an enviable nuisance."
"I'm not being hypocritical, ma'am. I'm not going to say that my methods are clean. I can sit here and give someone on the surface a heart attack with an idea, even if that person is healthy. As long as that person's death is good for the cause.
, I don't care about the method." The emperor's words made the countess straighten up instantly, and her evening dress, which had been deliberately changed to be loose, began to tremble. "But the death of a spy is a deterrent, provided that it is death given by the law and not lynching." He
He raised his glass and clinked it gently with the stiff Countess, "The trial must be open. I have the people to enforce the law."
Countess Katarina Karkov smiled nonchalantly, as if she had never been rejected.
"Silver Sablinova is too naive and is obviously not a suitable candidate for law enforcement. The Wild Legion is a private army formed by her father. Although they have made great achievements in fighting crime, they are not always
Everyone knows the identity of her employer." The countess said, "As far as I know, Silver Sablinova has been hired by the enemy many times. Although she always has trouble with me, this is not deliberately smearing.
But she is really not very smart. I believe you must know these things."
"Countess, you will definitely be able to survive in that bad future." The emperor did not hide his admiration. Even though Countess Katarina Karkov's acting style and ideas were not what he expected, but
This woman who thrives on power cannot cause much damage under his control, and can even be said to be a very useful political tool. What's more, she accepts the status quo and doesn't have too many unpleasant thoughts.
Although the temptation to seek power at the dinner table is annoying, it is the smallest price to pay compared to other endings.
"I have arranged a future for you, and you will like it."
"My lord, must we endure this woman whose mind is filled with power?" Hammurabi couldn't help but ask after dinner. "I'm really tired of her constant requests, as if she must have power in order to do so."
Live. She is a maggot who lives in the shadows. Such a person is not worth wasting resources. The crimes she committed before the war are enough to deserve her hanging instead of sitting here having dinner with you."
"That's what she is, Hammurabi." Compared with the indignation of the Janissaries, the emperor seemed extremely relaxed. He even gave Countess Katarina Karkov a necklace after the dinner.
The latter promised that she would wear the priceless piece of jewelry the next time she was invited. Obviously, the act of giving a gift made the countess see an opportunity, which was enough to make her forget that she had been euphemized the previous time she and Lorelei attended a social dinner.
The rejection is tragic. "Countess Katarina Karkov has never lost power before. She has always been a slave of power, not a master. I am not her master, I am just the embodiment of power."
Personalize.”
The emperor poured out the last wine in the bottle. It must be said that the countess had a very good taste in red wine. He had seen the future of Countess Katarina Karkov - if Katarina Karkov
If the countess is executed or imprisoned, then he has lost a useful tool; if the countess gains more power, then in a place where he does not care, the countess will become the tyrannical nobleman again, and finally be killed by the emperor.
The judge executed him - whether the emperor wanted it or not, he had to bear the price he had to pay after obtaining the tool, and just like every magic he cast, there was no room for regret.
"There is no free lunch or dinner in the world. No matter how annoying it is, Countess Katarina Karkov can always complete her task, and that is enough. Now the world cannot tolerate us being picky about our staff and waiting until the academy outputs
With the first batch of talents, we can be a little more comfortable." He gave the last glass of wine to Hammurabi, "At least Countess Katarina Karkov can bring quite high-quality wine, which is why I appreciate it.
One of the reasons for her tolerance."
"You really have a sense of humor." Hammurabi took a sip, "Next time I will suggest to the commander that if you want to write a wine testing report, you should let the guards take a sip. At least our tongues are better than the testing equipment in the laboratory.
Much more sensitive. I don’t really like the mineral taste and it must have been a cloudy day when the grapes were picked.”
