Level Infinity Weakest King

Elina was trying to figure out how Rex fell in love with Emilia, but in reality, he was way too old to fall in love with her. Does that mean that he would never fall in love with anyone? That could be the case but who knows, what if his mentality were to really become like that of a young boy?

"Mom, it's not like that..."

"We are just friends..."

Elina kept on asking when finally Rex said that they were just friends again.

"Hmph, alright!"

"Don't tell me!"

"I will ask her myself!", Elina seemed to pout a bit which right have looked cute for Alex and others, but for Rex, it was like an annoyance.

Oh well, not that he cared, he just wanted to rest and just when he was thinking about sleeping for some more time, Elina told him about the gift hour.

"Baby, we have to get inside..."

"It's the gift hour, so we have to be present there..."

Three things usually happen during the gift time which was common for every royalty and noble, the first was that the gift would be given to the princess with names on them. The gifts would be placed separately to get analyzed and then finally the next day, the winner among all the gifts would be announced.

Well, it was supposedly a way to only gift others, but it had turned into competition thanks to which, many valuable presents would be traded.

Of course, the names would be written in records that so and so person had given so and so thing and won the competition. Rex had absolutely no interest in that, all he wanted to do was rest.

"Mom, I want to sleep a bit...", he said to her directly.

Well, not that she didn't know how tired Rex was, she just pretended not to know. Actually, she didn't want to disrespect others.

Also, their own respect would decrease as the rumors would start saying - 'The prince of the Rhone Kingdom came only to sleep in the party.'

It was something that Elina didn't want and probably that was why she was insisting Rex come with her.

"Please..."

"Rex?", she finally requested which Rex hated the most.

He didn't want his own parents to end up requesting him! The love which he never received in the previous life was given to him in this life, of course, it was thanks to Elina and Alex, that was why he was happy and that was preciously why he didn't want them to either bow their heads or beg him or request him.

"Fine mom! I'll be coming with you...", he said in a low voice.

"Yay! My son is the best!", she said in excitement right after which she pilled his hand and went in haste towards the entrace and entered the hall.

Of course, all had been already going and were giving her gifts. No one paid any attention to Elina or Rex right now.

Indeed, the guards wanted to announce his name again, but their job was to announce only once.

Regardless, they wanted to do it again only to show how much they disrespected Rex, but oh well, they failed to do that and the reason for that failure was quite simple.

'Do that in front of my mom and you will be as good as dead...', those were what Rex's eyes told.

No magic, just his eyes. Just his crimson ruby-like eyes were more than enough to scare them to the point that they failed to even open their mouth.

*gulp*

All they could do was now sit back and watch Rex pass. Well, he got them back for disrespecting him earlier.

"Come with me baby, we will go and greet princess Emilia...", was what Elina said.

"Yes mom...", he nodded his head.

But just as she was going that way, Seria stopped her and started chatting. Elina had been holding Rex's hand for quite some time which he freed finally and just went back and stood near a corner as if he had no business in the hall.

Alex and Elina, while chatting, had already arrived near Emilia and were about to give some paper about the wagon which they had brought a while ago. Well, they were giving many other presents too which the other wagon had that included some jewels and clothes.

Emilia continued to thank them and continued to chat with them a bit formally though despite the fact that they insisted to become informal with them.

While the adults were chatting with Emilia a bit, their sons and daughters walked separately towards Rex after seeing him standing in a corner separately.

Rex had his eyes closed probably because even here he was trying to sleep. He was that sleep-deprived!

But oh well, it seemed like he wouldn't get a good sleep anytime soon.

"So you are Rex!", said a boy with brown hair after walking towards him. He was the first one to arrive and started to look at Rex as if he was some dust.

It was the same with others too, they too came and started to ask similar questions as if they had no idea that he was Rex.

Well, he didn't mind them after hearing what they were saying when suddenly some princesses walked towards them and said, "Let us have a look at him too!"

It was as if they had no dignity. Many Kings and Queens were present here and despite that, they were just trash-talking him.

"Oh come on! Start speaking!"

"We have heard a lot about you since we were kids..."

"Are those all true?"

The princesses weren't just asking as if they didn't believe that, they actually asked it sarcastically as if they knew about it and still wanted to hear from his own mouth probably because they wanted to make him feel embarrassed.

"Yes...", well, Rex just answered their question with just one would while being completely calm.

Their plans failed for the time being and after seeing his calm, they were much more irritated. They wanted to say some more harsh things so that he could lose his cool.

"Ah! We heard that your mother cheated on your father!", said one of the princesses who failed to understand whatever had happened a while ago was just an act or perhaps a lie.

But did she really not know that? She definitely knew that whatever was told about Elina was a lie, but it seemed like she wanted to embarrass him as much as was possible.

While contrast to the compared expression, Rex gave a surprised reaction.

Well, that was obvious, he had no idea about such things happening, he was enjoying his sweet sleep time after all.

The girl winked as if she wanted others to carry on with the joke. But oh well, they were loud, loud enough that it was being heard by others probably because everyone had stopped talking at the same time.

Well, that was quite rare but it did happen, everyone had stopped all of a sudden and it was quiet when suddenly their voices were heard by everyone.

"What are they...?", Emilia was shocked when she heard them say that.

In fact, she was disgusted! Elina was angered because the topic ass bright up again and so was Alex.

While Seria had a similar reaction, some different thoughts were going on in her mind.

'Idiot children, why are you messing with him?'

'Be thankful that he isn't doing anything...'

'Stop saying such words, if you were to take your joke any further, then you would all end up being dead...', she thought all this and kept it inside her without saying it out aloud.

"Haha, so he is a plebian?"

"He is no royalty?", said one of the man princes while smirking.

*grit*

'Do these kids have a death wish?' he grit his teeth while thinking that.

'Their words are finally getting me...'

'I'm getting pissed thanks to them...'

He still maintained his composure while thinking that this was some kids' chatter, but he couldn't think anything straight.

Whatever they were saying was continuously roaming and echoing in his head.

"They!", Elina started to walk towards them in order to teach them a lesson when suddenly another Queen popped up from the side.

She was the mother of the same prince who started this all.

"They are just kids, let them be...", she said while laughing.

And on hearing that, Elina had to force herself to stop because an adult interfering in kids' matters would be as if they were bullying the kids.

"It's Kid's matters, right? Then I sure have the right to interfere!", while saying this Emilia dashed towards Rex.

"..."
