P.S. there wont be any regular updates for the time being since sadly I am out of sync anyways enjoy the chap and If you find any mistakes that conflict with earlier chaps let me know, Its starting to get harder and harder to remember what I wrote myself.
I continued.
"That c*nt of a father of mine finally had enough with me and decided to strangle me with a barbed wire, and I was dead for a whole four minutes."
Morgana gasped, her eyes widening in shock at the revelation. The story I was spinning that was a half lie half truth was filled with intrigue and tragedy, and it had her undivided attention.
"But fate had other plans for me,"
I continued, my tone somber.
"My father's personal butler, who happened to be my biological mother's brother, saved me from the brink of death. It was his quick thinking and medical expertise that brought me back from the afterlife."
Morgana's expression was a mix of sympathy and astonishment. The cameraman continued to record our conversation, capturing the emotional depth of the narrative.
"After recovering from that near-death experience,"
I recounted.
"I was driven by a newfound purpose. I grew my forces, honed my skills, and, when I came of age, I executed a coup d'Γ©tat, I executed my father, my siblings and anyone who stood against me and claimed the mantle of the Imperator with my own two bloody hands"
As I spoke, I could see Morgana hanging on to every word, her eyes reflecting a mixture of empathy and admiration.
"After that, I purged the Empire of Its vices and transformed It Into the Terranum Imperium and that was the turning point in the Terran history"
I explained.
"The moment I set out to conquer the Andromeda galaxy, I reshaped the Terranum Imperium into what It Is today so before Im the Imperator Im first and foremost a warrior and only then the Imperator"
Morgana remained silent for a moment, processing the weight of the story Dracula had just shared while the Internet got ablaze once again.
@CosmicVoyager: Imperator's backstory is like a dark epic! From near-death to rebirth, it's like something out of a movie. ππΏ
@ExtraterrestrialEnigma: Who knew Imperator Dracula had such a tragic past? It makes him even more enigmatic. #ImperatorRevealed π π§
@HistoryBuff_101: The rise from an unwanted bastard to an Imperator is a story of determination and ambition. It's like a modern-day legend. ππͺ
@GalacticStoryteller: I'm getting chills listening to this narrative. It's like a space opera unfolding before our eyes. #ImperatorSaga ππΆ
@CulturalConqueror: The Imperator's past adds a whole new layer to his character. It's not just about power; it's about overcoming adversity. #Resilience ππ
@SpaceSpectator: If this story is true, it's the stuff of legends. The scar on his neck is a symbol of rebirth and transformation. πβ¨
The netizens were deeply engaged in the narrative, using hashtags and comments to express their fascination with the Imperator's fabricated past.
The story had not only humanized but also added a layer of complexity to Draculas public image, leaving a lasting impact on the viewers.
...
"Anything else Ms Schmitt?"
I asked lazily while tapping my finger Into my holographic table.
"No...kill the camera"
Morgana said making the cameraman do just that.
"Can... Can you please wait outside"
Morgana asked with a sheepish voice as she did I raised my white eyebrow while the cameraman with a knowing look In his eyes did just that.
The moment the cameraman stepped out a deathly silence ensued In my room only the rhythmic tapping of my finger like clockwork could be heard.
"Imperator... regarding my question when we first met?"
Morgana asked shyly with her cheeks beet red as she looked up only to see my cold eyes devoid of any emotion as I looked at her without saying a word.
Truthfully Morgana was a 9 out 10 with those loose shoulder-length crimson hair, blue eyes, and killer body.
But for some reason, I didn't feel attracted to her one bit, I didn't know If It was because she wasn't my type or because of my body that just like every other I might have gone overboard with then trying to create a perfect soldier to fit my factions lore.
"No, as I said I'm not interested one bit Ms. Schmitt, frankly I find you're whole race repulsive"
I said my three thoughts out loud with a straight face causing Morgana's facial muscles to stiffen.
"From what I've absorbed so far, in the last few decades you're whole race seemed to have lost their minds, the sacrilege of youre bodies that youre mother planet had designed for you"
"Careless reproduction with no thought of the consequences, unchecked greed, and many other things among other things that disgust me to my core"
"For example, the cheating, youre race seems to have developed an entire culture for It and It sickens me because In the Imperium adultery Is punishable by death with a firing squad It doesn't matter If the man or woman Is a sector governor or a barista everyone is equal In front of law"
"And don't even get me started on youre blatant disregard towards youre children's futures which Is a sin of the greatest caliber because every child is every civilization's future so to deprive them of the chance at receiving a proper childhood and education that they have the right to"
"So sorry Miss Schmit but no you and every other Thraen female aren't qualified to be the Imparoteress, In fact, I doubt that there Is anyone In existence that can make my hearts flutter"
I said without holding back.
"B... but I'm not like that"
Morgana protested.
"Really?"
I asked with an amused voice.
"Hans did a thorough check on each one of you, Including you Miss Schmitt, I'll admit the first time we met my pheromones were definitely at fault but unlike you, every other female seemed to be under control of themselves"
"I know you had a boyfriend at that time, although he is trash himself It still doesn't change the fact that you acted according to you're Impulses while being In a relationship"
I hammered In the facts which left Morgana speechless because she knew I was saying the truth.
"But I still have an offer for you Ms Schmitt"
I said lazily.
"W... what kind one?"
The teary eyed Morgana asked.
"Becoming the director of the Terranum Militaris Intelligatia propragandus department"
"Hans Is a man of many skills but he lacks the subtle touch that you as a reporter and a woman can provide"
"Not only will you receive citizenship at once but you will also undergo gene resequencing treatment and the additional augmentations that Terranum militaris personnel receive"
"So how about It do you want It or not?"
I asked.
"Can I think about It?"
Morgana who felt conflicted about the proposal asked.
"No, I'm an Inpatient man as you should have already noticed Miss. Schmitt'
I answered demanding an answer here and now.
"Fine agree but I want my cameraman to be under me"
Hearing this I paused for a second as I looked at the woman.
"Fine If he agrees"
I said slightly Irritated.
"Then I agree"
Morgana said after another second of hesitation while gritting her teeth, hearing this I pressed my holographic tables screen causing my rooms door to open up.
"Come in"
I ordered as I did Morgana's cameraman, stepped into the room he sneakily glanced at Morgana's teary-eyed face which didn't go unnoticed by me.
"You called for me, Imperator?"
Marcus asked, his voice betraying a hint of anxiety.
"Youre name Is Marcus Jager right?"
I asked lazily for confirmation.
Marcus replied, his tone firm.
"Here's the deal Marcus Miss Schmitt here has agreed to join the Imperium as the director of the Terranum Militaris Intelligatia propaganda department."
Marcus's eyes widened in surprise, then flickered to Morgana, who offered him a wry smile while wiping off her tears.
"However,"
I continued.
"She has requested that you be placed under her command. Are you willing to accept this arrangement?"
