The new revelation
“Mankind held dear to their
ego.” The man seated at the simple cottage on the outskirt of the city spoke.
He was met by distinguished guests, and in his humble abode, the host had
served tea to the guests. It was simple furnishings there, with many
books on the shelves and floor. The host spends his idle time reading them; the
knowledge was his best tool. One of the notable books there were Book of the
Marvels of the World (Italian: Il Milione, lit. 'The
Million', possibly derived from Polo's nickname "Emilione"), a
13th-century travelogue written down by Rustichello da Pisa from
stories told by Italian explorer Marco Polo. It describes Polo's travels
through Asia between 1271 and 1295, and his experiences at the court
of Kublai Khan.
“My forefather, Marco Polo
was more than a trader but an adventurer. He travels far to the Far East, and
was marvelled by the greatness of the Mongols there.” The host always tells the
exploits of his ancestor. “The empire then and previous one, the Roman Empire;
they all expired over time as would the current Queen’s empire.”
“It was not the vastness but
the control of the leaders assigned to manage the outer lands.” The host
smiled.
“The tea you are drinking
did not come from the Far East but grown in India. The origin of tea was from
the Far East, but the seeds of it was brought to India and even to Africa, and
planted. It resulted in more tea variations. Alike to the empires, they did not
collapse as said by many historians, but evolved into many cliches of it. All
of it were driven by mankind’s ego to do their own. Some failed to restore it
but an empire of sort was formed; we called them countries today.”
“I am working with some of
them, and one day, I will have it all consolidated into one huge empire.” The
host laughed and pointed to the world ma over the fireplace. It held many pins
with the strings attached to it from the Far East to the continents on both
sides and below. It all meet at a small country named Belgium.
“Belgium is a small country,
with a smaller nation of people but we held the best minds in the world. We can
be marked to be Kings, and it will be.” The host smiled. The room was dimly lit
and the curtains drawn shut.
“Professor, you are
extraordinary in your thoughts.” The Admiral smiled. “A super …...”
“A person with the ability
to use the Super-Ego inside of me? I am flattered.” The host laughed.
“Professor Freud advocated the implant in his research and I have derived it
qualities here.”
“You do bear an uncanny …….”
The Lord of Exchequer was to comment.
“An uncanny resemblance to
the man, but perhaps a more designed mindset than him.” The host smiled. “I
have been mistakenly taken to be him, and I do take his role with me. I also
have a deep understanding in his works. I also studied Carl Jung’s works, and
well versed with many others. Psychology is a matter of utmost interest.”
“This year, at the other
continent, William James published The Principles of Psychology. Probably the
first publication in medical science on the subject matter. In his words,
Psychology is the Science of Mental Life, both of its phenomena and of their conditions
but the treatment within asylums were barbaric and often caused physical harm
to the patient with little to no relief of their symptoms.”
“You are very passionate on
the subject matter, Professor.” Lord Dennis remarked.
“As much as my other
disguise, Professor Freud, but he held an affinity to the matter of sexual
feelings.” The self-declared medical expert smiled. “I do not. Disguise is a
way for us to look like another to replace that persona.”
“Portia disguised as a male
to attend the magistrate court to defend her lover from her own father, in the
Merchant of Venice. Disguise is not new but an art that has been carried
through the ages.” The host laughed. “The man called Sherlock Holmes, uses it
in his some of his acts.”
“Being in disguise was a
great part of entertainment for the Elizabethan aristocracy. To take part in
Masquerade in the Elizabethan court was a great opportunity how to become
someone or something else without being recognized.” (Extract from https://is.muni.cz/th/yvhcn/Bakalarska_prace_-_The_Concept_of_Disguise_in_Tragedy_Hamlet__Prince_of_Denmark-_definitely_final.pdf)
“If I were set on the
glasses and set my beard, I am the esteemed Professor of Psychology.” The
host smiled. “Deception is a way of how our ego will work.”
“Puikus ten darbas!” (In
English from Lithuanian; Splendid work there.)
“Thank you, Admiral.” The
host claimed to be from the Republic of
Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika is a country in
the Baltic region of Europe. It is one of three Baltic
states and lies on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea.
“How do you avoid meeting
the real Professor in public?” Lord Dennis was ever curious. “I am of the usual
plush Lord’s appearance.”
Lord Dennis was previously
described as the gentleman was with a thick Walrus moustache—a thick and bushy
bold one sized up his rounded face with the thick sideburns to
complement—reclining headline with the hair trimmed short. Like his face, his
body frame was rounded, more to the obese dimensions, but his manners were
royal.
“I have my men shadowing his
movements. At this moment, he is still in Belgium with his lectures. If he
leaves Belgium, I will be advised then I will slip into my other disguises.
Perhaps Wild Bill Hickok.”
The gathered there laughed,
although the Admiral was unsure who that was. He spent most of his time at sea
or in the House of Commons to argue matters.
“Now to the matter on hand.”
The host brought the issue out.
“Tell me on the matter of
Doctor Jekyll.”
“Professor, Doctor Jekyll’s
work has been checked and re-tested at the lab I made. His works are
remarkable, and with them, we may have made a breakthrough but not refined. Our
own researcher, Doctor Schmidt Manfred, had made some discoveries." Lord
Dennis added. “Undisclosed to Doctor Jekyll.”
“Doctor Manfred is a good
friend of mine. He had pioneered the works on the blood at his own laboratory,
but of course, he was unrefined than that of Doctor Henry Jekyll.” The
professor explained. “I have always admired both men in their works.”
“I know of your intention to
secure Doctor Jekyll for your own experiments, which I hoped were developing.”
“We are working on that.
Daisy’s condition has remained... fragile. Even with the organ’s replacement,
her vitals are still weak.” Lord Dennis has secured the expertise of Doctor
Manfred to assist in his daughter’s cure. To the outside world, his daughter is
dead, buried in the family plot at the estate, but the deceit of the father has
secretly kept the daughter in the castle. He had requested Doctor Henry Jekyll
to save his daughter, but he was not able to. He could not find the cure for
her, and Lord Dennis faked her death but not his request to Henry.
“You will work on the cure,
not for Daisy but for others.” Lord Dennis told the doctor. “I will give you
the needed funding.”
It was the effort of Doctor
Manfred who suggested replacing the organs on Daisy that kept her alive,
although in the state of comatose. Unfortunately, not all the organs worked at
times, with complications seen in days, so the need to replace the correct ones
was the urgency. Hence, the murder cases with the organs removed.
However, due to government
pressure, Doctor Jekyll was asked to do other works on the Super Warrior
properties.
“Professor, Doctor Jekyll’s
work has been checked and re-tested at the lab I made. His works are
remarkable, and with them, we may have made a breakthrough. Doctor Schmidt
Manfred had made some discovery.” Lord Dennis added. “Undisclosed to Doctor
Jekyll.”
“Doctor Manfred is a good
friend of mine. He had pioneered the works on the blood at his own laboratory,
but of course, he was unrefined than that of Doctor Henry Jekyll.” The
professor explained. “I have always admired both men in their works.”
“Doctor Manfred is a good

“Professor,” the admiral set
the tone. “We intervened on Doctor Jekyll. Unfortunately, he escaped. How? We
are unsure.”
“Drive the ego, and you get
the works.” It worked, and Doctor Jekyll was on the program. He felt an
obligation towards Lord Dennis for his failure to save the daughter.
