"Don't forget that whatever you're doing is against the rules, so make sure you don't get caught," Medrick said, his tone heavy with warning as he sighed deeply.
His words struck a chord with Lucien, sending a pang of conflicted emotions through him. Despite them knowing that what they suspected him of doing was wrong, his brothers didn't reprimand or scold him. Instead, they gave him advice wrapped in concern, cautioning him only to avoid getting into trouble. It made Lucien feel a deep sense of gratitude toward his brothers..
"Alright," Lucien replied with a smirk, though his voice carried sincerity. "I'll make sure I'm not caught."
"For once," Darius interjected dryly, shooting Lucien a pointed look. "Try controlling that thing between your legs, Lucien."
Lucien burst into laughter at his younger brother's blunt remark, the tension in the room easing as the conversation shifted to lighter topics.
