After the concerning call with her mighty hubby, Sansa's brows narrowed as she deeply contemplated what her husband said. He warned her and said everything about to happen was part of his plan, but Sansa who had her spies in his office knew that the squad her husband sent to the southern region to covertly investigate the situation surrounding the silver milk powder fraud case had already been detained by southern watch this afternoon at the border of the southern region. And other two squads also had no luck in the mission assigned to them by their general. 

With no leads to start with Sansa could not help but wonder where did her husband come up with his so-called plan. Listening to her husband it was clear that something was afoot, therefore Sansa could not help but feel she was missing something. 

Sansa had her minions working on this silver milk powder case, but there was no progress so far. Not because her spies were not capable enough, but instead because she was late to the game, the southern royal family had cleared all clues involving this case and the government had also acted to suppress the people who had been claiming that the item silver milk powder was a fraud. The government and southern royal family, the actions of both of them had caused Sansa to suspect maybe Ellen's spawn had invented something that many respected and reputable researchers could not.

Now, she was starting to regret killing the boy so early. Because if the item silver milk powder was really capable of what the boy claimed it would be, then she had just killed the fortune that was coming her way with her own hands. Yes, she hates the boy, he would be a constant reminder of Ellen to her husband if left alive but she could have gotten rid of him after she had manipulated him into handing over the patent for silver milk powder to her. With riches from sales of silver milk powder, she could nurture an army. 

Sansa already had the paw clan but in order to gather the resources to maintain them she had them doing jobs that would risk revealing their existence defeating the whole purpose of the secret assassination clan. Thanks to her origin card she has been able to keep her organization hidden so far but the chatter of a secret assassination clan manipulating the Central capital and other region's market by assassinating important figures of the society has been circulating among people, and in recent days these chatters have only grown louder. Despite the risk, she had to continue with that cycle because that was the main source of income for her paw clan. Blackmailing and manipulating memories can only get things done to an extent unless self-interest was involved and for that, she requires a lot of capital and resources. But if she were to get her hands on the patent of the silver milk powder she could break this cycle. Unfortunately, she had killed the boy and made the government the final winner. However, thinking that the biggest loser was not her but the Duskborn Family and she was able to foil the plans of the southern royal family, Sansa found a little condolence. 

The reason Sansa thought the government was the biggest winner was that with his parents dead and the Duskborn family disowning him the boy was legally considered an orphan. So after his death, the patent will automatically transfer to the state, giving the government full rights to silver milk powder. Knowing how domineering the government can be they will definitely do everything in their power to nullify the exclusive production, supply, and distribution right the boy had granted to the southern royal family. It would be fun to watch the southern royal family and the government battle it out but the real kicker would be the look on the faces of the old bastards from the Duskborn family when they realize the amount of wealth that could have been theirs was now being monoplized by the government. 

Sansa wanted to make use of her deep sleeper spies she planted in the southern royal family to enquire about the situation of the silver milk powder but she did not bother to because with the boy's death, there was only one end, and she did not want to get caught up in that storm. As for her husband, when the time comes she will be there to shoulder his burdens for him. 

Sansa who had finally decided to not act in this matter suddenly received a call from an unexpected acquaintance, she was surprised as the person calling her was one of Karl's incarnations. Answering the call Sansa said, "I never thought that I would receive this call."

"The offer you spoke of that day, does it still stand?" Karl's incarnation spoke softly. 

"So you have finally decided to get rid of the shackles binding you?" Sansa asked, trying to gauge if Karl's incarnation was really serious about her offer or if it was just another one of Karl's ploys. But considering that she had sealed the memories of Karl's incarnation about her offer to him and the only way he could unlock them was out of sheer desperation and helplessness, he should not be lying. After all, him remembering the memory meant that he really had no other choice. 

"It is either this or death," Karl's incarnation's voice was filled with sadness knowing the consequence of what he was bargaining for. 

"Good, since you remembered our conversation then you should know what to do next. Once you have equipped the card that I gave you, leave the rest to me," Sansa assured Karl's incarnation.

"I remember, but are you sure this will work?" Karl's incarnation asked Sansa skeptically.

"You ask as if you have other choices," Sansa reminded Karl's incarnation that if he wanted to get rid of the shackles binding him he had no choice but to trust her.
