The night had passed quietly. After telling Arlette all that had happened tonight as well as what he had surmised by all of it, they hadn't done much besides contemplating the gravity of the situation.
"I have to speak to them," Caius had said.
"I'll go with you," Arlette had responded.
The 'them' referred of course to the Leopold Coven, whom Caius hadn't seen or spoken to for so long since he actually acquired authority over them. He could have scheduled a virtual conference of sorts but decided an actual physical meeting was best.
The rest of the night, Caius tried to remember all he could about the Vampire Nobles from his knowledge of the original canon. The problem was that not all the Vampire Nobles were represented in the story, beyond being mentioned in passing. He had no idea who Brogan Kraxia was and considering Brogan was a Baron and so low on the pecking order of Vampire Nobles, that was understandable.
