Lucien looked at the four women for a long moment after thinking about the location.
Then he shook his head.
"Not yet," he said.
They blinked.
Lucien crossed his arms.
"Before we go anywhere the system points at, the four of you need to become stronger first."
That silenced them.
For once, even Kaia did not immediately argue.
Lucien continued calmly, "A place important enough to react to all four of you at once will not be simple. If we go half-prepared, then whatever opportunity waits there may become a disaster instead."
Marie nodded.
Kaia sighed.
Sylra gave a quiet nod.
Marina raised one hand like a timid student. "If my prince says so, then I shall endure."
The other three turned to look at her again.
Marina stiffened.
Lucien pretended not to notice.
And so, he brought the four of them back to reality.
Marie and Kaia immediately latched onto Sylra and Marina with the unstoppable force of extroverts discovering shy people.
"You are coming with us."
