Chapter 1433 The Slave of Power (First update)

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 Like a fish in water. She was the only one on the space station who had time to grab the idle reporters. She used her impeccable words and a full schedule of visits and interviews to make those pesky reporters focus on Latvinia's scientific and technological progress instead of baseless and ridiculous 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 group, and those scientific researchers are completely separated from them and go to the space station. On the other side, research and experiments are performed.

"I suggest a landing accident be arranged. A regrettable accident caused by someone being overly excited and violating safety regulations... It's a common occurrence, especially among reporters hungry for headlines." Katarina Countess Karkov sincerely suggested to the emperor at the dinner table, "I can guarantee that if they are allowed to return to the surface alive, all the technological advancements you invite 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 a glass of wine with a smile on her face. The bottle she selected from more than three hundred bottles of wine lived up to her expectations, and the emperor liked it very much. "If you are willing to give me the honor of executing a spy... No, I will not slit that person's throat myself, but I believe that Ms. Tita will be happy to carry out this bloody task. Or, you would rather Like an unchargeable accident?”

Hammurabi couldn't help but glance at her.

Countess Katarina Karkov leaned forward slightly, a vicious plot brewing on her tongue. She had obviously forgotten the emperor's behavior, and even became more and more excited as she talked. "Pietro Maximov arranged for the press team to conduct a spacewalk training after his vacation." 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 necklaces and earrings shine. sparkling with light. Countess Katarina Karkov, with her frightening beauty and coquettishness, stared at the emperor's slender fingers with her captivating slender eyes, "A regrettable accident, the respected For the sake of the truth, the reporter put himself in danger, violated the operating regulations, closed the magnetic boots, and untied the safety rope, just to peek into the porthole that the press group was not allowed to visit? What a great desire for knowledge and exploration, maybe there will be a street on the surface of the earth. He named it, and there was even a mourning ceremony, and the reporter received a huge bouquet of flowers that he had never received while alive. 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 someone'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 made loose, began to tremble. "But the death of a spy is a deterrent, provided it is death given by the law rather than lynching." He raised his glass and clinked it gently with the stiff Countess, "The trial must be open, and 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 a deliberate smear. 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 in line with what he expected, this woman who thrived on power could not cause much damage under his control, and it could even be said to be a very A useful political tool. What's more, she accepts the status quo and doesn't have too many annoying thoughts. Although the temptation to seek power at the dinner table is annoying, it is the smallest price 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 and is not worth wasting resources on. She committed crimes before the war that would have warranted her being hanged instead of sitting here having dinner with you."

"That's what she is, Hammurabi." Compared to the righteous indignation of the guards, the emperor seemed extremely relaxed. He even gave Countess Katarina Karkov a necklace after dinner, who promised that she would wear the priceless piece of jewelry the next time she was invited. Obviously, the act of giving gifts made the Countess see an opportunity, which was enough to make her forget the tragedy of being politely rejected when she and Lorelei attended a social dinner together. "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."

The emperor poured out the last wine from the bottle. It must be said that the countess had a very good taste in red wine. He had seen Countess Katarina Karkov's future - if Countess Katarina Karkov was executed or imprisoned, then he would have lost a useful tool; if Countess Katarina Karkov gained more If he has too much power, then where he doesn't care, the countess will become that tyrannical nobleman again, and will eventually be executed by the emperor's judge - whether the emperor is willing or not, he must bear the price he must pay after obtaining the tool, just like Like every spell he casts, there is no room for regret.

"There is no free lunch or dinner in the world. No matter how annoying it is, Countess Katarina Karkov always completes her task, and that is enough. The world now does not tolerate us being picky about our staff and waiting for the output of the academy 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.”
