Level Infinity Weakest King

Biyou literally had no idea the reason why they were laughing. He really thought that Rex said some joke. Well, this laugh would have cost him a lot. After all, losing Rex's trust and friendship was probably one of the worst things a person could lose.

Regardless, Rex didn't care about Biyou right now. He was infuriated by the checkers and their talks.

Of course, one of the reasons why they were laughing was because Rex didn't have any crest. The back of his palm was completely blank.

One should have a crest on it, but Rex had none. This was more than enough for them to think that the rumors were true.

Also, they knew that he was Rex right away after not finding any crests.

Well, commoners usually don't have crest either and Rex was wearing a dress that matched the commoners, but his face and talk about passing the exam was more than enough to make them believe that he indeed was Rex!

Also, they were going out through a different gate. There were six gates in total, in all directions.

One could imagine the campus to be like a city within a circle. The circumference of the circle was nothing other than the walls which had gates.

In any case, Rex looked at them and said, "So what?"

The checkers suddenly paused. They were not laughing anymore after he said the next sentence.

"I am of royal blood. I am a prince, whereas you?"

"What are you?"

This was more than enough to make them shut their mouths.

Regardless, he looked at Biyou and said, "I don't think I can roam the city for a month."

Biyou immediately walked back after he saw Rex being infuriated because of the checkers.

Also, when Biyou heard Rex say something about royal blood, he was confused. That was because he couldn't hear everything.

"Hey, tell me what you were saying them about royal blood.", he urged to know about the topic.

But Rex just shook his head and walked straight back into the dorms.

Rex left Biyou behind and went alone to the dorms. This much was enough to make Biyou think that Rex was upset.

He then thought about getting him something from the outside as a present and giving him to cheer his mood and thus, left almost immediately again towards the gates and then outside.

As for Rex, he was inside the room right now, on his bed, sleeping upside down. His back was facing the ceiling whereas his face was towards the floor.

He was trying his best to calm down and sleep right now.

'I have to try better to control my anger…', this was also weighing heavily on him.

Regardless, as he tried to sleep, he really did fall asleep with the door closed.

Meanwhile…

Riley urged to talk with Ariel.

Ariel didn't refuse and let Riley into her room.

The moment Riley entered the room, she was utterly surprised.

"Wow…"

The room was filled with many books. But that's not all, it had many cute things such as some stuffed toys.

Also, the room was at least twice the time of her room. She was a bit jealous but knew that this was to be expected of someone who belongs to Class S.

Riley would have made it to class S, but she missed by just a point. Yes, she made just one mistake that forced her to be in Class 1 A. The same was true with Alaia.

But there was a difference in both of their talents as well.

Alaia studied on her own, from the materials that were unrelated to Academy as well.

Even if she was the granddaughter of the dean, she got no help from her after all the dean wanted to see what her granddaughter was capable of.

However, for Riley, she got tons of materials that belonged to the academy and the topic of the exams. Despite learning everything relevant, she still couldn't get into the S class.

Needless to say, she and Alaia scored the same. It was probably because of this exact thing that she started feeling jealous when she heard that she was just some poor orphan.

In any case, Riley was surprised by the room.

Ariel then walked inside and invited Riley to sit comfortably on the bed.

Riley then asked, "Prince Ariel, don't you have a maid?"

Ariel nodded her head and said, "Yes, I do have."

"Then where is she?"

"Shouldn't she be with you? The maids should look after their mistresses but look at your maid, she is slacking off somewhere perhaps…"

Ariel shook her head and calmly replied, "She always stays with me."

"But recently, she was summoned by father for something important. That is why she went back for two days.", Ariel replied.

"Wait, does that mean you don't have a maid right now?", Riley acted surprised but knew this full well.

"That's right. I haven't been assigned any maid by father.", Ariel replied.

"So, does that mean, you wash your clothes daily?"

"And you make your hair and wear clothes every day? Do you do all these by yourself? Including cleaning the room?", Riley asked.

"Ah, about washing the clothes, my previous maid had washed about ten clothes and went."

"So for the next five days, I don't have to worry about clothes being dirty."

"As for cleaning the room, the maids that the academy has hired do it.", Ariel replied.

Riley was completely aware of that as well, but still, she was trying to say something that would hurt Ariel's pride and would make her upset.

Nevertheless, she stopped doing that when Ariel became too direct, "But may I know why you are here?"

Riley then asked with a series tone, "You, do you really like that boy?"

"Eh?", Ariel was suddenly taken by surprise when Riley asked this question in a series tone.

"B-boy?"

"Wh-"

"What are you talking about?", Ariel asked.

'What do you mean what am I talking about? I can hear you stutter…'

"I was in the garden too, you know…?"

"But was I invisible to you, princess? Perhaps because love had blinded you?", Riley asked.

"…"

Ariel didn't know how to reply to that.

She had no idea that Riley was sitting in the garden. Of course, Ariel knew who Riley was.

Everyone remembers the toppers of all the sections or classes so it was rather common sense to remember her name since it was heard at least once or twice.

Also, based on all the events that had happened for the ranking, Riley was actually famous.

Regardless, Riley was now asking about something related to love and Ariel was not the good one to answer these questions easily.

In fact, when Riley mentioned about Rex, Ariel started stuttering and her body went warm almost immediately just by recalling Rex's face.

"Come on princess, you can't possibly be thinking about marrying that beggar!", Riley stressed on the word 'possibly' instead of the word 'beggar'.

Ariel noticed that and thus, she asked after regaining a bit of composure, "Tell me, princess Riley, why do you care about what I do?"

"I mean, till date, it didn't matter to you when I met with many other people from class E or class F."

"But when I met him specifically, it was only then that you approached me."

"Tell me honestly, do you have feelings for him?", Ariel asked sarcastically.

Ariel was a nice girl, but when the matter came to her privacy, she couldn't tolerate anyone messing with her. When she found that Riley was prying too much regarding the man she chose or regarding who it was, she was infuriated a bit.

So she ended up talking continuously, questioning everything that Riley asked her by changing the course of the question.

"That-"

"…"

"I-"

Riley was dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say. For some reason, after the question was asked, her heart started racing.

*gulp*

'No way…'

'I love him?', Riley questioned herself after hearing her own racing heart.

'No…'

'That's not possible!'

'There are tons of princes out there who are much handsome than him…'

'Or I guess not.'

'He is probably the most handsome person I have ever seen.', her thoughts changed almost immediately as she recalled his face.

Her emotions were jumping around and so were her thoughts. She didn't know what she was thinking anymore as she couldn't trust her own thoughts.

She ended up answering, "I-"

"I guess…", that was what she said as her face turned red.

"…"
