Robert looked at Lucian with greed in his eyes. The three of them walked into the house, and instantly Lucian noticed that this time his uncle's son, Leo, was also at home.

"He is Lucian, my cousin. He was in an accident just a couple of days ago, so he is going to stay here with us," Leo introduced, though his expression were unreadable.
