"Well, it's too bothersome…" X2
Both Alex and Alice just shrugged.
Butt Max, Grace, and Damien who heard their words had their mouths and eyes wide open in shock and dumbfoundedness.
They just kept looking at Alex, and Alice as if they had an extra head or something.
Ann didn't say anything as she knew that Alex and Alice were going to answer with something like that.
The only person who didn't show any reaction was Lily as she was savoring the pastry she had.
Max opened and closed his mouth as no words came out.
He couldn't think of anything to say that would not sound like an insult to Alice and Alex, so he kept quiet.
There was a long silence as Max, Grace, and Damien just kept looking at Alice and Alex without saying anything as they didn't have anything to say.
The silence was finally broken by Max who found a normal question to ask.
"You don't want to establish an empire because you feel it would be bothersome?"
