On this day, the entire Empire was shrouded in deep sorrow, and the Pope himself attended the funeral of the Knight Commander. They reminisced about Ave's contributions as the Empire's Knight Commander, describing her as a steadfast and brave warrior who fought the Evil God's Followers to the very end.
After the funeral, the Pope eagerly put the topic of appointing a new Knight Commander on the agenda. Now the entire Empire is eagerly anticipating the arrival of Ave's successor.
The "Horned Owl Beast Daily" carried the news from the Imperial City back to Ximu Town. The residents of the town, having learned about the Knight Commander's character over a few days, were also immersed in sorrow. Even the gang forces active along the borders held a small private memorial for Ave.
