Kapitel 193: Preliminary Investigation

After coaxing Eli, Leon immediately went with Kayden to receive the instruction from the Emperor about the course of the investigation. 

As the matter had already caught the attention of the Temple, Emperor Valentin instructed that the interrogation could only start after the Winter Banquet. 

This was due to the fact that the Temple wanted to also participate in the case involving the curse. 

Initially, the Temple insisted on taking over the case because the curse magic was no longer a concern limited to the Empire but of the entire Prasinos. Since the Temple's jurisdiction not only covers the Seriende Empire, they could exercise their authority based on the gravity of the matter. 

However, Emperor Valentin convinced the High Priest not to let this case be known to many people, even on the other branches of the Temple. Atleast until they were done with the investigations.
