Level Infinity Weakest King

"Can you be charming enough to make me fall for you...?"

"I believe..."

She raised her right hand and pointed towards Rex and said, "He is the strongest, kindest, wealthiest out of all of us!"

That was what she said and everyone heard it clearly.

But what captivated Rex's attention the most ut of what she said was - "Can you be charming enough to make me fall for you...?".

He could hardly believe what he had heard. Of course, he had tried to ignore Elina's words and told her that he wouldn't love someone like that and she too wouldn't be in love with him, but it seemed like he was completely wrong.

Perhaps it slipped out of her mouth while she tried to defend Rex. Of course, that was completely unintentional, at least it seemed to be.

However, she clenched her fist and held it against her chest tightly as she said that which meant that she was flustered and fully aware of what she was saying.

Everyone was surprised by seeing how bold Emilia was. Of course, they had already seen her boldness when she had invited Rex for a dance, but that was nowhere near what she said right now.

Well, in any case, she continued what she was saying.

"You all mock at him only because you have heard something about him..."

"But tell me one thing, how famous do you think you are?", Emilia posed a serious question.

There are tons of Kings on the continent and many more all around the world. Not all were known to everyone!

Many died without even doing anything, while others rot in their own places.

The only ones who could remember them were their own descendants. Well, sometimes the case was so worse that even their descendants would forget about them.

"..."

When they heard this, they stopped taking. It was almost as if they understood what she was trying to say.

"Now tell me, how famous do you think Prince Rex is?"

"..."

When she asked this, none opened their mouths. Well, they were thinking about what she asked. Even though they found the answer, and some knew it beforehand, they hesitated to answer.

"No one?"

"No one knows the answer?"

"Or perhaps..."

"No one wants to answer!", she said in a loud and arrogant voice as if she read their minds.

Well, they couldn't argue with her in the first place because she never gave them a chance to speak!

"Tsk..."

"Hesitant are you now?"

"Whatever..."

"Even if no one answers, I'm pretty sure that everyone present here knows this..."

"Every royalty in this continent knows about him..."

"At least every human who belongs to nobility or is of royal members have heard this at least once..."

"Do you know what that means?"

"He is known by almost every important royal member out there that represents his or her country!", she said proudly.

"That...", the princess who was trash-talking about Rex earlier tried to speak and disagree with it, but right after she saw Emilia glare at her, she was forced to shut her mouth.

It was as if Emilia said, "Shut up bitch! You don't have the freedom to run your mouth!"

Although no one heard it, her eyes were saying something like that.

"...", Rex was completely speechless after hearing her say that.

His heart was moved and it was the same for others too. All of them understood everything that she said.

Even the twisted princes and princess who enjoyed taunting Rex kept quiet and just moved back as if nothing had happened, at least, they were going to do that when suddenly Emilia stopped them.

"Wait, where are your apologies?", she said in a loud voice due to which they flinched all of a sudden.

Well, they were rather unwilling to apologize however they could feel a killing intent which was being emitted by Emilia after seeing that they were hesitating to apologize.

"Uh!", then all bowed at once and apologized.

Yes, every one of them who even talked to Rex, bowed and asked for forgiveness and moved away even before he replied.

'Sigh, finally this is over.', Rex sighed and said nothing else for a second or two.

All he did was stare at the girl who had been holding his hand all this time.

"Umm, will you let my hand go?", Rex asked politely.

"Eh?", the girl had been staring at Emilia.

She was lost in her own thoughts while hearing everything that Emilia said. Probably she had zoned out and when Rex reminded her, she came back to her senses.

"I'm..."

"I'm sorry!", she apologized to him for holding his hand for too long which seemed a bit indecent.

"Ah, it's fine...", by seeing her flustered, Rex felt uncomfortable.

Well, he wasn't so heartless that he would get angry one a girl, well, not at least she was evil and messed with him.

Emilia hen walked towards Rex. She smiled while looking at him perhaps because she thought that she had done a great job.

Of course, that was true. She had done something amazing, at least, her thoughts touched their hearts.

"Uh...", but Rex had no idea how to face her.

That was because she had basically proposed to him in the open, but, she wasn't flustered at all.

In fact, she was relaxed as if a big burden had disappeared. But in reality, she had failed to realize that another burden, much bigger than before had been created.

Well, she had to wait for his answer, which seemed to be a 'No', of course, because he still didn't look at her in that way, but he never replied to her and she never asked, at least, not for now.

She then looked towards the girl who tried to help Rex earlier and with a smile said, "Thank you very much for standing up for him earlier."

"Oh no, it was my pleasure..."

"Please don't mention it your highness...", well, she had her manners.

She was the daughter of a baron who had a lower status therefore she treated her with the utmost respect.

"I'll take my leave, your highness...", she said and was about to leave when suddenly Emilia stopped her too.

"Stop..."

"I know that you helped Prince Rex, but..."

"But?", the girl was confused when she heard that.

"But...", Emilia then suddenly walked closer to her.

"But don't think that you were any different than them...", she said in a low voice.

"Huh?", the girl and Rex had the same reaction.

Both failed to understand why she said that. The girl had definitely helped Rex and she never once taunted him or said something to him that disrespected him, then why was she being blamed?

Was Emilia trying to be so cool that she started to overreact? Or was she jealous because the girl was holding Rex's hand?

Well, it was neither. She was just genuinely trying to point out what her mistake was.

"I'm sorry Your Highness but I don't think I disrespected Prince Rex..."

"And if I somehow did, then I apologize Prince Rex...", she looked at Rex and apologized almost immediately after hearing that.

"Ah, no...", even Rex didn't know what her mistake was.

Wow, what a noble she was, even if she had no mistake, she apologized. Of course, others wouldn't even accept their mistakes even if they were the ones who did that.

"Hmm, I guess you didn't realize but..."

"You actually held his hand and pulled him!"

"Also, while you refer to me as 'Your Highness', why do you only call him 'Prince'?"

Whatever she said was indeed true, well, she had already apologized though, and after hearing that she apologized again after realizing that she was indeed in the wrong.

"Good...", Emilia then smiled and then walked further closer.

"Hehe, then from now on, you can call me princess too instead of referring me as Your Highness.", well, she was kind too.

Though, she acted as if she was badass for a few moments, she was still a girl who had just turned 16!

The girl was taken by surprise when Emilia said that and after hearing it, she replied with a bright smile by saying, "Yes!"

Right after that she took her leave and went back to narrate everything to her brother and parents.

Right after that, the gifting ceremony continued, but before going to the place that was set up like a stage, Emilia whispered something in Rex's ear.

"I expect a gift from you too..."

"..."
