“Mhm.” Thomas nodded.
“Maxine, why did you leave the Caden household and establish Floret Palace?” Thomas questioned.
Maxine lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice, “I-I was bored and wanted to find something else interesting to do. That’s why I established Floret Palace. However, after establishing it, I realized that life is even more boring now.”
As she said that, she lifted her head and looked at Thomas, asking, “By the way, have you seen James over the past three years? Since you founded the state of Japura, I assume that James is currently helping you out.”
Hearing this, Thomas sighed. He tried convincing James to join him three years ago. However, James turned down his offer.
“I have not seen James since we parted ways three years ago.”
“What?” Stunned, Maxine said, “No way! As your grandson, he should be helping you out after you established Japura. I even thought that he’d have a high position in Japura.”
“Ha… It’s a long story…”
He was speechless when it came to James. As a Caden, instead of lending his family a helping hand in establishing a dynasty, he chose to live a life of seclusion with his wife.
“Granduncle.” Maxine’s expression suddenly turned grim.
“Hmm?” Thomas looked at her.
Maxine said anxiously, “It is my understanding that James is a man with strong national loyalty. Now that you’ve established Japura, your nation will surely expand outward. Ultimately, your interests will end up clashing with Sol’s. Once you make a move against Sol, James will surely stand in your way.”
Maxine voiced her thoughts.
Thomas had thought about the possibility. However, since James was his grandson, he could not do anything to him.
“Granduncle, James only has Thea on his mind. If you get rid of her, James might have a change of heart.”
When he heard this, Thomas looked Maxine in the eye. She immediately lowered her head and remained silent.
“What do you mean by that, Maxine?” Thomas questioned.
