After receiving the full cooperation of the Commander of the Holy Knights, Ellen was officially given the authority to handle the case.
And although not formally part of the investigation, Louise von Schwartz offered her insights as Ellen’s assistant. Heinrich speculated that the demon god cultists might be involved, a possibility neither Ellen nor Louise could ignore.
