Arlette went on to explain to Caius that it might still be a while before the Legacy was delivered to her. As part of Caius's own order, every piece of it was to be brought to him so that he could assess and take what he wanted.
Allegra, in life, was not a woman lacking in means. After all, she was a genius who essentially created a Manuscript to cheat the nature ordained by the Goddess Nyx right from the creation of Vampires. Something that Alchemical knowledge, which had grown even more since then, had failed to accomplish.
In the original story, the Manuscript was introduced to rile up the Vampires of the story.
Caius could still remember how he—as Kevin in his old life—had once complained in the comment section that Vampires had very little to do with the story even though Caius was one. Many other readers had fired back at him then that the story was about Aurelius and a Vampire plot for Caius meant little to it. They thought it had happened too much already.
