Chapter 16

• "Dear friend, I hope this note gets to you safely. Due to the heated argument in the court about what to take in exchange for the Vial of blood essence, we haven't been able to come to a conclusion on what to do. So to keep the peace and balance between both factions, we will not be giving you the Vial of blood essence. I hope you understand my sentiment. Athan.
• PS: Do you like my gift? I hope you enjoy it?" Leonardo read the note sent by Athan with a furrowed and confused brow.
• Dylan arched his brows in question as his eyes flickered between the Vial and the note in Leonardo's hand. "He doesn't want them to know he gave it to us, probably trying not to openly take sides amongst both factions." Leonardo breathed out.
