Level Infinity Weakest King

Chapter 74 - The Books

They were about to deny when the man without even waiting said, "Just fuck off! This place is off limits to petty elves!"

"..."

"Huh...?", Rex was controlling himself but no matter what he did his anger was overflowing.

His blood was literally boiling just by hearing his voice and mockery.

He looked towards the guards in order to confirm who were yet again about to deny it but suddenly the man flashed a gold coin in front of them.

"Uhh... yes, actually this place is off limits to people from other nations..."

They didn't want to cause a war between the Elven nation and the kingdom of Rhone so they somewhat changed the way of saying.

"Only the official citizens of the kingdom of Rhone have to right to visit the library and read..."

Both of them couldn't even look at Rex's eyes. They were feeling guilty because they were lying so boldly.

Rex kept quiet the whole time and kept on observing them.

"Pffft! Nice way to interpret it! But let me say you damn bastards...", the man who had just exited the library seemed to be too arrogant. He just wanted to look down on someone.

It seemed that his food wouldn't digest if he hadn't tortured or humiliated at least one person a day.

"Let me tell you the truth, you guys are just lowly race!"

Each and every word of his was pricking like a thorn to Rex. He had indeed learned how to maintain patience and control his anger from his masters but that didn't seem to work in this case.

The man was spouting everything that was against Rex's belief.

"You scums deserve to die but here thanks to our gracious king, you are freely able to walk in our kingdom! If I were the king then I would have hunted you till the end!"

The man wanted Rex to beg after feeling inferiority. That was why he was continuously saying rash words to him.

The guards did nothing and just stood there watching and hearing his actions and words respectively.

"Are you done...?", Rex calmly asked.

"Huh?", the man suddenly paused and looked at him.

"So Baron Viro, what punishment would you like to have in order to offending us?", Rex had a smile on his face as he asked this but all of them that were present there were aware of the sarcasm of the situation.

"Y-you... how do you know my name?!!", the man suddenly freaked out when he heard him saying his name.

"That doesn't concern you Baron, but what you said to us should concern you! Don't you know the law of offending another place? There might have been war due to your carelessness."

"...", the Baron was completely mum.

He couldn't even argue anymore nor could he utter a single word.

He knew what he had done might have caused a war but he couldn't stop himself from doing that since his hate had taken control over him.

Rex remembered perfectly that Baron Viro was a kind person who used to look after many. He had even risen in ranks but he still couldn't understand why he was a Baron even now.

Rex didn't want to punish anyone meaninglessly nor did he want any baseless rumour to be started.

All he wanted wa soeace wnd integrity within the kingdom as well as with other kingdoms.

"Sigh, listen to me Baron, you might have many problems, but that doesn't justify you nor does it gives you any rights to trash talk about others."

The Baron remained quiet. He was a humble person after all and maybe he was drunk because of which he was saying all those things.

It might have been some pent up anger which burst out suddenly but whatever he told hurt Rex pretty badly due to which he had to tell this.

"I'll give you 3 days time to apologize and write a letter to me...", is what ex said after pausing for a few seconds.

"Huh? But who are you...?", the Baron who was trash talking such a moment ago was now completely calm.

He was impressed by the good decision taking capacity and smooth talking of Rex due to which his own anger disappeared.

"Me...? Hmm, you can call me prince.", immeditely after saying that he asked the guards again as whether he could enter or not.

The guards immeditely changed what they had told initially and allowed all three of them to enter.

"He is a prince...? Prince of which kingdom? And where should I send the letter!!!?", the Baron was confused a bit so he thought about waiting for them for a while.

Rex immeditely entered the library and started to look for the history section after wasting his time in being awed by the interior designs.

"Hmm, so there is the history section.", he immeditely walked towards the history section and gathered all the books.

"Okay let's start."

He asked Bandis and Zor to also take a look at the books they liked since he didn't want to restrict them.

They initially hesitated since they wanted to stay by his side and protect him but since Rex had ordered them, they had to abide and thus left without disobeying it.

Both of them had dispersed and took a look at different sections for quite a long time.

Rex too had started reading the books. The Baron was waiting outside in the wagon since he didn't want to disturb Rex for the time being.

He was so impressed by Rex that he didn't even go to the important meeting that was being held.

The time was passing slowly and even before realising it, it had already become dark.

"This is too absurd, how the heck can they write this!!?"

Rex was a bit annoyed and irritated after reading all the books the That were placed there.

"I mean I can understand that not much was known of that era but that doesn't mean that you write whatever comes to your mind!"

He kept on staring at the book cover after closing it and was thinking something when suddenly a lady walked towards Rex and said, "Excuse me boy, the time that you were allotted was long over, I hope you have extra money to pay."

It was the rule of the Royal Library that everyone would be allowed to read books in free in the library but a time was allotted based one each person of different category.

Bo one was allowed to read more than 5 hours and 6 hours at max. If they intended to read more then they had to pay money which everyone usually avoided.

That was why it had become a way to criticise people that you had to pay money if you wanted to read more. Poor people didn't even have enough time to visit the places so it didn't affect them but many commoners usually felt that this rule had to be removed.

"Hmm...", Rex didn't pay attention to what she said. It seemed as if he was lost in his own world when suddenly she called again.

"Boy!!!"

Rex finally heard her and immeditely asked, "Y-yes!?"

"I was saying that your time is over, you need to pay for extra time if you want to stay any longer!", the lady seemed to be a bit tired who had been looking after the library the whole day.

Rex kept on staring at her for a while and was blinking eyes while looking at her with innocence.

"Aish, don't tell me that you don't have money.", she seemed to be a bit frustrated.

Bandis and Zor immeditely sae her and started to march that way in order to give her money so that Rex could read for even longer than now when suddenly Rex used telepathy and asked them to not to do anything.

That was not necessary either since both of them would have paused anyway after looking at Rex's smiling face.

The lady started to tell many things but none of them were being heard by Rex. He was just staring at her due to which she felt a bit awkward.

"Boy! Are you listening to me!!!?"

She was holding a lantern which worked with magic crystal and emitted light. It suddenly slipped from her hand and was about to fall along with her when Rex immeditely caught both.

"Eh? What are you...", it seemed that she was tired and hadn't eaten anything for the whole day due to which her body had become weak.

"It's fine don't worry. I'll carry you till the infirmary."

It was really awkward to see an old lady at her 40s to be carried by a young boy so she was denying constantly when suddenly Rex said, "Come on aunty, don't be so mean."

"A-aunty!!? How dare you!!!?", she started cussing even more but all Rex was doing was laughing and smiling at her.

"Uhhh!! Just leave me!", she was waving her hands roughly which touched his hood or robe that he was wearing and the head covering suddenly got removed.

"Oops! I'm sorry...", she paused immeditely after she said that.

"Red hairs...? Crystal Red Ruby like eyes...? You..."

"Haha, Herla Aunty, it's me... Rex."

"..."
