Chapter 617
“Are you really going to leave? Today?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t think there’s any rush... but I guess it can’t be helped.”
Ellen didn’t have anything that could be called luggage. When she first arrived, all she’d brought was a cage with a cat inside. As she prepared to return to the Allied Forces’ base, she wore her casual clothes, and did not have anything else to carry back with her.
“But the snow just stopped...”
Louise felt a pang of bitterness at Ellen’s decision to leave so soon, especially now that the heavy snow had finally melted and the weather had cleared.
She had come to the Temple seeking solace, but instead found herself swept up in a wave of unsettling events, leaving her heart even heavier than before.
The Demon King had seized control of both the Order of the Holy Knights and the Church of the Five Great Gods, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it.
In these rapidly changing times, there was no such thing as a purely good faction; survival meant choosing the side most likely to endure.
Something drastic was on the horizon, promising unimaginable bloodshed.
A dark cloud hung over the Empire’s future, forcing everyone to make a choice.
The Allied camp had become more peaceful than the capital, offering a refuge from the looming chaos, especially for Ellen.
