“Excellent, then I chose my artificial body to be shaped in the form of my previous body’s 17-year-old self. And I want all the stats of the body to be at the peak of what a mortal can achieve,” Karl’s consciousness spoke the details he wanted in his new artificial body.
“Out of all the handsome faces you can have your artificial body shaped after, you chose your previous self?” Sansa asked sarcastically.
p AndD nOve1.cO,m “Why? I believe that my previous body was very handsome and attractive,” Karl’s incarnation was pretty confident about the looks of his previous self but Sansa’s sarcastic remark made him doubt himself.
“Did your mom tell you that?” Sansa teased Karl’s incarnation.
“Yes, she did. So did my ex-girlfriends, wife, daughters, daughter-in-laws, and granddaughters,” Karl’s incarnation sincerely answered Sansa’s rhetorical question leaving her without words.
“If you are fine with it, I have no problem. What about the identity you would be using?” Sansa could care less how Karl’s incarnation’s new body looked. She was just being polite so far.
Why would Matron who commands a secret assassination clan be polite with a mere consciousness of a special type of incarnation? Obviously, she wanted something from it. And that was to get Karl’s incarnation willing to become her poster boy to persuade other incarnations of Karl to switch sides.
The more Incarnations of Karl Sansa helped betray Karl, the more information Sansa would get on Karl by using the memories of Karl’s incarnation that betrayed him.
With Sansa’s ability she could just edit the memories of consciousness of Karl’s incarnation in her origin card into believing that he got everything and more than what he was promised but considering that all of Karl’s incarnations knew she can manipulate memories, none of Karl’s incarnation would believe this incarnation of Karl whom Sansa helped escaped vouch for her. Therefore she planned to have Karl’s incarnation take an oath in presence of the world’s will and its rules to convince other incarnations that Sansa was really here to help them.
Why did Sansa, herself, not take the oath? Because If she took an oath then she would have to follow it. Sansa would rather keep her options open so that if and when the time comes her hands would not be tied by some stupid oath she took. Nobody knows what will happen in the future. That was why when it comes to taking an oath, smart people don’t take an oath in presence of the world’s will and its rules unless they have to.
Sansa knew that if she played nice it did not guarantee that she would get Karl’s incarnation to speak and vouch for her in front of other incarnations of Karl but she felt that it did not hurt to try. If that did not work out she always had her unique set of skills ready to get him to do what she wanted.
“Speaking of my new identity, when I was actually a teenager I did not get to attend college, I heard it’s a life-changing experience. Though delayed I would like to try it now. So, what kind of identity would I need to get it to Morningstar university?” Karl’s incarnation expressed his regret of not having been fortunate enough to attend college during his teenage years so now with the new body he wished to achieve what he could not then.
“I understand you want to attend a top ten university but why Morningstar university and not any other university?” Sansa asked Karl’s incarnation curiously.
“There are two reasons for that.
First, the alumni of Morningstar university are more famous and accomplished when compared to the other nine universities of the top ten universities.
Second, I have noticed that for some unknown reason, all the true heirs of royal families, sects, and clans opt for Morningstar university Six out of Ten times,
Most royal descendants choose not to attend Morningstar university because their genius cousin was attending it so they do not want to be compared to them or compete with them. I want to attend Morningstar university to experience what drives these people to attend it,” Karl’s invention explained why he chose to attend Morningstar university out of the top ten universities.
“If it is just that then I can answer it for you, I learned the secret behind this from my minions who happened to be royal descendants. Apparently, the Morningstar university has an ancient vestige, Forgotten Dunes, famously known as the holy place to comprehend time rules and meanings. To enter that ancient vestige you need to be an overachieving student with outstanding grades or have a quota. These quotas are divided between the royal families, government, hidden sects, clans, and the other top nine universities. This information is so confidential that neither the university students nor the general public know about it,” Sansa explained to Karl’s incarnation why Morningstar university attracted more student traffic from royal and high-end backgrounds compared to other top nine universities.
“Does this mean you can get me an identity to attend the morning star university? My artificial body and the age of my consciousness won’t be a problem, right?” Karl’s incarnation was enthused about attending Morningstar university but he had concerns about his actual age and artificial body getting in the way of his dream.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I have a few minions with capable origin cards just for things like this. What you have to worry about is regaining your realm before the university ends recruiting for this year’s batch of students. Or else you can try next year,” Sansa assured Karl’s incarnation.
“No, I want to attend this year’s batch.”
“Then you don’t have much time. The university will be stop recruiting in less than three months from today.”
“Three months is enough time for me to regain my realm to meet the eligibility criteria of the Morningstar university. I will practice day and night to make it happen,” Karl’s incarnation vowed.
“You can, I do not doubt that. And finally What name will the new you be using? Same as the old one or something new?” Sansa assumed since Karl’s incarnation stuck to his old looks he would stick to his old name too.
“No, a new start deserves a new name, from here on I am Evan Freeman,” Karl’s incarnation chose a new name for himself, Evan Freeman, embracing a new and free life.
“Good name, Evan. Now sleep, I will wake you up when your artificial body is ready.”
