Level Infinity Weakest King

"Tsk..."

"Why should I even hide this power?"

"Can't I just show this to everyone and rule over them?", he asked himself.

Well, he was speaking to himself while still standing on the rooftop. Of course, he didn't want anyone to hear because of which he then hurried towards the stairs only to find Elina standing there.

Elina had returned to console Rex or to ask what had actually happened when she heard this.

Indeed, he did tell in a low voice, but unfortunately, it wasn't low enough. Elina had clearly heard it!

Rex had failed to notice her because he was consumed by anger, whatever, the bottom line was Elina now heard something which Rex tried to tell hours ago!

"M-mom?", Rex was the one who was most surprised.

He never expected her to stand there, now he was worried if she had heard what he said.

"M-"

But just before he could speak, Elina said, "Rule over whom?"

"And what will you show?", was what she asked.

"..."

It was evident that Elina heard only a small part of what Rex said - 'Can't I just show this to everyone and rule over them?'

*gulp*

Rex swallowed a large amount of dry saliva and looked at her eyes while calming himself.

"Nothing mom..."

"I was just talking to myself...", he said as if he didn't want her to think about what he said.

But it was Elina we were speaking about, she wouldn't let him go before finding out what he actually meant!

"Of course I know that you were speaking to yourself..."

"But tell me, what did you mean when you said that?"

"..."

Now, what reason could Rex make that wouldn't reveal his secret?

He started to think about that, of course, it was a perfect situation to reveal his secrets and tell her about his powers and reveal the secrets, but he couldn't think that.

He was way too busy thinking of an excuse!

"Actually mom..."

"I was wondering if I could rule over the people of our country after showing them how hard I actually work!", he said.

What hard work did he do even, was what Elina wanted to ask, but she didn't because she probably knew a bit about that.

She had been introduced to Bandis and Zor, who was supposedly called to be Rex's master, due to which she knew that they might have trained him for sure.

That way, she concluded that he did work hard.

After hearing him say that, she was convinced and said, "Oh, so that was how it was..."

Regardless, she wanted to ask something else from the beginning.

"Leave this..."

"Tell me, Rex, what was this about Sexual assault?"

"..."

"Why was Sir Rowan so angry and why were you slapped?", was what she asked.

Seria had indeed used healing magic, but she didn't get much time to heal him completely.

There were still some redness and marks left on his place which was visible due to the moonlight.

"Mom..."

"Actually..."

"I kissed her and wanted to propose to her...", was what he said.

"What!?", Elina was shocked when he said that.

"You kissed her?", was what she asked and probably that was the part that shook her the most.

"Yes...", Rex nodded his head.

Elina could hardly believe that. It was because she had seen him show no interest in any woman in the banquet so it came as a surprise to see him kiss Emilia.

'The Baron who left earlier had a beautiful daughter who stood out for him...'

'She was the first girl of his age to have grabbed his hand, perhaps...'

'I thought that he would fall for her first, but it seemed like I was wrong...', was what Elina said to herself.

In any case, she was intrigued to hear him say that, more than that, she never imagined that he would be bold enough to go and kiss a girl.

Of course, he mentioned that he hadn't proposed to her so it kinda seemed as if it was improper, but his intentions were pure, that was what Elina thought.

'Maybe Rowan saw them when they were kissing...', was what she thought.

'That was why he termed it as Sexual Assault.', she concluded that Rowan was the one who misunderstood.

"Listen, Rex, you shouldn't do this..."

"You need to first get engaged or marry only after which you can kiss or do other things...", she was a little flustered while saying this, needless to say, her cheeks were red.

It was as if she could imagine herself with Alex while saying this.

Whatever, now that Elina no more had wrong thoughts regarding Rex, she walked close to him and rubbed his cheeks.

"Please forgive Sir Rowan, he was just angered..."

After gently running his cheeks and making him comfortable, she asked him to tag along.

They finally arrived at the dining table and started to eat, of course, the atmosphere was weird but Rex didn't mind.

He ate as if nothing had happened.

Well, Alex and Elendo did find that to be a bit weird, Seria and Elina had no complaints regarding that.

But Emilia was speechless. She didn't lift her head even once all this time. It was probably because she was cursing herself for being such a wuss!

She couldn't even say what the truth was. She might have been embarrassed but it was way too wrong to remain quiet while seeing the one who kissed you get hit!

In any case, she was helpless. Though her uncle cared for her, she was in a much worse situation than before.

She could no longer look at Rex's eyes probably because she considered herself guilty.

In any case, the dining table was covered with silence. No one opened their mouths to speak anything.

Everyone continued to eat and the first one to finish was Rex, in fact, Emilia was also the first one.

Both of them ended eating at the same time, the difference was that Rex finished whatever was there on his plate and didn't ask for seconds, while Emilia didn't eat even half of the food on her plate.

Rex after that stood up and then walked away while leaving the plate as it is.

Of course, this was way too improper because dining manners said that one had to finish the food and wait for others to finish and stand up at the same time!

Of course, Emilia's uncle showed how disgusted he was after seeing this behavior while sighing.

Emilia had finished eating but was still sitting at the table whereas Rex just left.

Until he left, Emilia couldn't open her mouth to say anything.

Right after Rex left, her thoughts devoured her and forced her to spit the truth out.

*grit*

'I can't be cowered...'

'My feelings for him are true so I should be brave...'

'There is nothing wrong in having a bit of fun in life.', was what she thought.

She stood up and boldly said, "Listen to me mother, father, uncle, aunt, Your Highness Alexander and Her Highness Elina..."

"I apologize...", was what she said.

"Eh? Apologize?", her uncle was surprised by her sudden standing and saying this.

"What happened Emi, is something wrong?", Elendo asked.

"I was the one who kissed him while he refused to touch me..."

"He got hit because of me and for that, I apologize..."

"I..."

She then declared that she loved Rex, well, she herself had no idea how she got the sudden energy to say that.

"I love him more than I do myself..."

"I..."

And she continued and told everything about what had happened. 

Of course, Seria was aware of the incident at the auction since Rex had said her, but he never mentioned that he had done that to free a slave!

It was only now that Seria knew about Rex's greatness and kindness which made her much more baffled than earlier.

"You..."

"Love him?", Rowan asked with a shock.

He had been trying his best to get in their way but it seemed like it was for naught, she was already in love with him.

Alex, Elina, and Elendo were similarly surprised. Of course, Seria was surprised too but she was much happier than that because she was proud of her daughter's choice!

Elina was surprised to see that Rex lied about Emilia saying that he was the one who kissed her.

"Are you sure about what you are saying Emi?", Rowan asked.

"Yes Uncle...", she nodded her head.

'Why...?'

'Why him?'

"..."
