Inspector Vena and Viscount Conlay

When Aleister and the others approached the White Dove Opera House, they could tell that something had happened there.

A huge crowd had gathered at the entrance. Reporters' flashes kept going off, while terrified civilians pointed and gestured as they gave interviews.

At the same time, vehicles from the local Police Department had already arrived.

Leipzig—or rather, the grassroots political structure of Stibium as a whole—was different from Avalon's. There was no Eye of Avalon, nor griffins that could quickly carry people to their destinations. Most importantly, the Path of Authority was not very popular here.
