There was one more piece of information about the festival.
The festival was hosted by the Royal Family.
When Elliot had gone to ask the Old Butler earlier, Conrad had stated outright that the Royal Family ran the festival and allowed no other nobles to interfere. They could only receive the power gained through sacrifice.
If it was the Royal Family...
Elliot was well acquainted with the Third Prince, and Eldest Princess Victoria was also a member of the Royal Family.

It seemed that the original Elliot must have been on fairly good terms with Victoria, or he would not have had this card.
But he had no memories at all and could only feel his way forward slowly. Asking directly about the details of the festival would be far too presumptuous.
