The Future of the Family

"Yes, that's also the time needed for Nina to grow up and for her future to be better decided," Vicente said, indicating that he had no intention of doing this before his sister turned 14.

Nina was almost 11, so that would give them about three years to prepare.

"We have until her awakening..." Rory murmured, leaning his back against the cushion of a chair. "Well, I don't know if we'll have Sovereigns in the group by then, but we'll certainly be much stronger."

"I have plans for that. Let's worry about the 'little' time we have another time." Vicente thought about his new ability to temporarily increase the mana density in his surroundings. "Besides what I have in mind, our business will grow in the next few years, and new opportunities will surely arise.

Let's just worry about what's closest to us for now."

Rory and Eve agreed and said nothing more on the subject.
