Marvel Book of Magical Events

"They will be afraid of you because you are inhumane."

Regent Victor von Doom walked around the desk, completely ignoring the layers of official documents on the desk and the emperor who was immersed in writing comments on the documents. After returning to Earth from Asgard, the Emperor knew that the last friendly relationship between Karma Taj and Asgard would no longer exist, and the Æsir would grasp at any life-saving straw before the end of the world, Ragnarok. , but Kama Taj is not willing to be dragged down by the Asa Protoss at the expense of the entire human race.

In order to arrange more work during the short respite, the emperor even took Kamathaj's official business to the office in the Royal City of Latvinia to complete, and then handed over secular work such as taxation, education bills, employment rates and other issues to Solved by Victor von Doom. However, the regent did not immediately start to deal with the piled up work. Instead, he stood in the office and tried to chat with the emperor. Faced with the harassment from his friends, the emperor did not make any reaction. Apart from the sounds of footsteps and voices, there was only pen on paper in the room. A rustling sound on the face.

"In the eyes of the outside world, you have no partner and no personal life. You are a shining statue of a god to the world. This will subconsciously make many people and countries stay away from you, and many contracts will be damaged because of your attitude." Regent Victor von Doom said, "I propose that Countess Katarina Karkov, the last member of the royal family of Sikaria, be released and allowed to attend international social events with you. That beautiful lady has An extremely powerful social tool, you might want to consider letting her lead a team of spies to work for you instead of just being a vase in social situations."

The emperor raised his head and glanced at him,

"I know that Countess Katarina Karkov will definitely reveal to others that she is your mistress in informal settings, and then use this to go to various social situations to benefit herself. Although this identity is false , but for others, this is an informal channel to contact you. Some forces will make suggestions or requests to you through Countess Katarina Karkov’s information channel. This is a good opportunity. .”

Victor von Doom shrugged. It wasn't a lie.

If the Emperor so wishes, Countess Katarina Karkov will walk naked from the garden all the way to the castle, enter this office in full view of everyone, proudly close the door to all the stunned government officials, and say: Action announced that she shared the emperor's power - this was a passage she wrote on a handkerchief and entrusted the sisterhood to send it to the emperor. She wrote many love poems with high literary attainments to the emperor, some of which were so explicit that she took off her clothes. The walk from the garden into the castle is just a small part of the journey. Ignorant people would really think that there is an infatuated beauty with blue eyes waiting for the emperor's arrival in the garden, instead of a terrifying evil beast who is thirsty for power and money, extremely selfish, covered in beautiful human skin, with twinkling eyes. It is not a light of affection but of cruelty and ruthlessness.

The reason why Countess Katarina Karkov surrendered to the emperor was just because the emperor was more cruel and ruthless, and possessed greater violence and power, nothing more. Before the War of Liberation of Latvinia, the King of Sirkalia had been ousted from power by Countess Katarina Karkov until the Emperor's genetically modified warriors, the Liberators of Latvinia, the Sisterhood, and Sir The Kalia militiamen stepped into the residence of Countess Katarina Karkov together, and this large-scale absurd farce about power, money and violence, set in a Balkan country as the stage, finally came to an end. But the Syrkalia swordswoman, power animal and sadistic queen traded a bargain for her life rather than being killed like the Vladimir family of Latvinia (except for a few young children and girls married to the preacher), deprived of their property.

Countess Katarina Karkov provided information about the Swedish Wallenberg family, and because of that information, the emperor successfully nationalized the military-industrial and pharmaceutical companies in the Balkans. Countess Katarina Karkov, who escaped death, could not escape punishment, but being placed under house arrest close to the center of power was more like a reward for her - but this was the emperor's intention in giving punishment. Power is at her fingertips but she will never be able to obtain it. This is an extreme psychological punishment for her, far more effective than inflicting physical pain.

"I do not need."

"The rulers of all human kingdoms in this world are human beings. Human beings have human weaknesses. No matter how powerful a ruler is, they will be changed by time, disease, and aging. They have nothing to do with any ideology or any ideal. Weaknesses can be Evaluate, so the ruler can be evaluated." Regent Victor von Doom leaned on the back of his chair, he raised his eyebrows with a hint of teasing in his tone, "But you have no past, no weaknesses, rule in other countries In the eyes of the observer, you are too perfect to be like a human being, and you naturally have no predictable future. Your thoughts are difficult to predict, and your will is difficult to shake. This is what the rulers of other countries fear."

Without hesitation, Regent Victor von Doom picked up a legal pad with a golden office border on his desk and scrawled an order in imitation of the Emperor's handwriting. "Bringing a female companion to social events will make you look like a normal person and make the rulers of other countries think that you are a weak human being. If you agree with me, then have this informal order Bring it to Countess Katarina Karkov." He looked aside, "Either Natasha Romanov, or her. I know you don't resist, and your secular identity is not always that of a supermodel. Are you attending the event?"

"I don't know who Countess Katarina Karkov is, and I don't know who Natasha Romanov is, but I know that she is just a frail mortal." Lorelei stood silent next to her Finally, he couldn't help but speak, with contempt in his words. However, she did not cast this contempt on the regent. As a warlock, she was aware of Victor von Doom's abilities. "My talents will be more useful in social situations, and I should be in charge of that spy team." She said, "In every aspect, I will do better than Katarina Karkov It’s a good time, Countess.”

"Lady of the Rhine." Regent Victor von Doom pretended to be surprised that he had just noticed her expression, but he still maintained his gloating tone, as if it was a pleasure for him to take a break from official duties to joke with his friends. Very pleasant thing. "Well now, our emperor can bring two female companions at the same time when attending social occasions, or three, depending on who our emperor wants to spend the night with tonight."

The emperor rolled his eyes wide, and Lorelai on the side was immediately ready to make a move after hearing the regent's words.

"Arrange your trip as soon as possible. When the mission begins, I need to go to the lighthouse base to witness it with my own eyes." He said to the regent. "Agent Coulson's mission is related to all mankind. If he fails, it will mean a certain timeline. The human race can only become the slaves of alien aliens." Victor von Doom threw away his smile, and his emotions changed so quickly that it was like the previous joy was fake, leaving only bitter ashes in his mouth. He picked up the iron mask on the table, the metallic luster flashed in his eyes, and the cold emotions were like a tornado sweeping across the plain, uprooting the human touch.

Lorelai was even frightened by this transformation. She had never seen someone so controlled.

"I understand. But do you really want to devote such attention to the star fort in Corboy's belt?" Victor von Doom said, "Suddenly raid General Hale's base and seize the teleporter. It will allow us to reach the Star Castle.”

"Then we can only get one star fort. You know, I'm a little greedy. The Kree Empire is destined to fall, but we must be able to profit from the Kree Empire's destruction. The human race is forced to face the reality of this universe, but we This race is still a newborn, and we must obtain more nutrients that will allow us to grow."

The emperor lowered his eyes, and Lorelei beside him wisely handed the next document to his desk. Aura was very dissatisfied with her job being stolen from her. The heavy weapons hand of the Sisterhood wearing a steel crown really wanted to hit Lorelai with the heavy blaster cannon in her hand, but that was just a thought. That's all, the sisterhood will never disobey the emperor's orders.

"After this, you will take over this country, and I will retreat behind the scenes to deal with more important things."

"Ragnarok?"

"Yeah, we're pressed for time."

Victor von Doom was silent.

He knew from the beginning that the emperor's target was the entire galaxy, and that the Balkan Peninsula was just a product of experimentation, and there was nothing special about it. It was only to save a lot of money that a person like him with the local genome could have legitimate rights to rule. Just the trouble of dealing with internal conflicts. However, the resources and population of the Balkan Peninsula could not fully meet the emperor's plan. Other countries with heavy industrial bases were not suitable for annexation. Therefore, the regent Victor von Doom had to start rebuilding heavy factories while starting to build factories around the world ( Mainly in Africa) establish automated low-end industrial product factories and do everything possible to use the only resources at hand to meet the emperor's war needs. He even needs to completely militarize and fortify the geographical location of the Balkan Peninsula and its key places to prepare for the planetary battle after the Emperor forces the Dark Order fleet to crash land.

The emperor knew how difficult the regent's job was, and now he had to entrust him with the internal affairs full of internal conflicts, but he would not say any words of thanks. All was said and done in that cabin in the mountains. Someone had to make sacrifices for their cause, whether it was Victor von Doom or himself. Even if they won the final victory, they would still have to face a The earth was completely smashed but still retained its resources (including its population), and then started from scratch again.

There was silence in the office for a few seconds, and the atmosphere almost solidified into ice.

"I will go to the social dinner. I will ask Countess Katarina Karkov to be my companion, Lorelai, and you too, and now let Ola (the sisterhood on duty in the office today The artificial human) will choose a dress and shoes for you, and you must show the most perfect posture." The emperor still maintained an expressionless look, but his voice was much softer than before, even Lorelei You can hear it. People often lose their perception of the emperor's emotions because of his changing appearance, but Lorelei was able to capture the emotions sealed behind the emperor's armor with her eyes that had experienced witchcraft. "It's just an informal meeting with the Wallenberg family. Don't take it too seriously. We have dealt heavy losses to the Wallenberg family before, and this time they must give us some benefits."

"Don't push them too hard, old friend." Victor von Doom warned, "They previously thought that all problems could be solved with the order they constructed, but your appearance gave them another answer. Now they have felt the fear, and they are here to surrender... It is somewhat inaccurate to say that, they are here to negotiate investment conditions. Only by having a successful case, we will gain many investors again, which will be very important for us in the future. Career matters.”

"The emperor wants to take me to the dinner?"

Countess Katarina Karkov, who had just woken up, was a little dazed by the surprise, but she quickly woke up. Life under house arrest did not turn her into a lazy person who did nothing every day - although she habitually slept until noon, she still maintained her fitness habit - she took the handwritten note from the android's hand, and then pulled it away Bedside lamp, I sat on the bed and started reading. She tried to figure out the emperor's thoughts word for word, but there were only a few words on the note and could not reveal any more information.

"Tonight is an informal meeting with the Wallenberg family, right?" she asked towards the android in power armor standing beside the bed. She didn't expect answers, the artificial people never answered her questions, and all the servants who served her kept absolute silence here. "No wonder he planned to take me with him. No one in the Balkans knows that plutocratic family better than me."

She stretched out her hand towards the android maid, seeming to have regained her past aristocratic demeanor. "I hope my wardrobe is ready, and my high heels." She lifted the thin blanket, "Please tell him that I will satisfy him tonight, in every way."
