Alden, seeing that his sister hadn't cout, quickly ordered Ignatius to intervene. Something had to be happening. He hadn't wanted to om reveal himself yet, but there was no other option. He had hoped to meet Serenity under better circumstances, but Lucius's intentions were unclear, and from what little Alden had uncovered, his cousin was a dangerous man.
