i really don't want to be king

Demons are extremely difficult to deal with. They are cunning and cruel. Even the bravest knights of the Holy See may not be able to get cheap when they encounter high-level demons.

So when they heard that Alox was going to hunt demons with the magic teacher, many people thought that this was simply asking for their own death.

Relatively close friends like Revnor persuaded Alox. He and Alox are both civilians, so they understand Alox's eagerness to change his class.

"Although gold coins are indeed very tempting, if you lose your life and take them, it will be very miserable."

Alok paused, and said, "It's not all for gold coins..."

Refno: "?"

Alox glanced at Lu Xi who was talking to Yimiao from the corner of his eye. To be precise, it was his legs. He wanted to make himself stronger.

And Kuindri interjected in a rare way. He looked at Alox with a bloody gleam in his eyes, as if he had predicted the end of the other party: "It's a pity. I originally wanted to defeat him with my own hands, but dying at the hands of the devil is also a big deal." It’s not good, I just look forward to Mr. Devil’s revenge for me.”

He still held the magic textbook in his hand, and since he was crippled, he has worked hard.

However, Kuindri's words reminded Lu Xi.

Why revenge?

Thinking of his lame leg, Lu Xi's terrible guess that had been silent in his heart resurfaced involuntarily.

impossible……

He had produced enough evidence to deny this speculation before.

Even if Alox has that strength, Kuindri is not a personality who will suffer a lot, he will choose to take revenge ruthlessly...

The more Lu Xi thought about it, the more confused he became, and he simply didn't want to.

As long as Alox can become stronger, so strong that the villain can no longer threaten him, he doesn't need to struggle.

Because next, the king's birthday party will be busy enough for him.

Lucy wondered if he should pretend to fall again, a little harder.

He was a little hesitant. Firstly, falling on purpose was different from falling randomly. Secondly, in his capacity, he probably broke his leg, and he had to sit on the magic chair to attend the banquet.

And he also planned to take this opportunity to completely lose the favor of the king, so that the king would give up the idea of ​​letting him succeed the new king.

Lucy eventually decided to lie about having a rash and wear a mask.

So, on the day of the king's birthday party, other princes wore noble and extravagant gifts, combed the most popular hairstyles, and presented the king with expensive gifts that could scare the common people to death.

Lu Xi held his wrapped gift box, and no one knew what was in it, except the king who could open it.

This is a country that shows off its wealth extremely, especially in the royal family. The king will not quietly take it back to admire after receiving a gift, but will let the nobles praise the treasures he has received under the eyes of all the nobles.

That is to accept rainbow farts generously.

At this time, after Lu Xi waited for other princes to present gifts one after another, it was finally his turn.

He took a slight breath. The princes in front of him were all very satisfied with the king. The more expensive their gifts, the cheaper his gifts would be. Everything was as he had imagined.

Holding the gift box, he appeared under the eyes of all the nobles in the banquet hall.

The box looks cheap.

The packaging method is also very rusty, ah, the bow is a little crooked.

Is this really a gift for the king?

But out of respect for the royal family, the nobles still looked at the gift with full expectation, without blinking their eyes.

The king still kept a happy smile, so he didn't get angry when he saw the unattractive gift box in Lu Xi's hand. Instead, he said with interest: "It's really a gift that surprised me."

He ordered his servant to take it over, "Then, let me see what's inside?"

The king spoke with a smile, and the servant opened the gift box.

Because the king seemed to be full of expectations, the nobles also showed a very interested look.

The gift box was opened, and all the nobles couldn't help holding their breath.

I saw-

Inside lay a... extremely ordinary top hat!

Look at his poor stitching, the unaesthetic color scheme, and the cheap base material!

Aristocrats are very good at enjoying life, they have a particularly sharp eye for expensive and extravagant, and any inferior things can't be hidden from their eyes.

At this moment, they all opened their eyes wide.

It is unbelievable that a prince would give such a humble gift to the king!

This will definitely anger the king!

Even if he is the king's favorite little prince!

The music in the banquet hall also stopped, and it was so quiet that one could hear the sound of a needle falling on the ground. Lu Xi lowered his head, inevitably feeling a little nervous.

Be disappointed in him!For this perfunctory gift!

The king spoke slowly, his voice was as mellow as red wine, but because of his lack of emotion, people couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

"Is this the gift you gave to your father?"

The king's deep tone made the queen sitting next to him take a breath, and she almost suppressed the shock in her heart.

Not to mention the king, even she couldn't accept such a gift!

Is this kind of defective product the gift that Lu Xi said was prepared a long time ago?

The queen was more annoyed than ever.

"Yes, Father." Lu Xi looked down respectfully.

The king smiled inexplicably, and no one dared to make a sound.

"Good boy, tell me, how much gold did this gift cost you?"

"64 silver coins." Lu Xi said honestly.

To humiliate the king with silver coins!

The king also paused, as if he didn't expect that he overestimated himself even the gold coins.

"Why would you choose a gift like this?"

The king's deep voice already showed a bit of anger, but for some reason, he was still willing to give Lu Xi another chance to reply.

"No reason, this is the most expensive top hat in the store."

That's right, it's just so perfunctory, he didn't even pick a pick.

That's it for this prince.

Many nobles sighed in such a regretful tone.

Just when they thought the king would punish Lu Xi, the king suddenly burst out laughing.

"As expected of my good boy!"

The king praised, "That's right, that's it, my father deserves the most expensive one! All your brothers have chosen gifts of high value, but only yours is worthless!"

Lu Xi: "???"

What absurdity is this?

The nobles kept telling themselves to maintain respect for the royal family, but their wide eyes showed that they also looked incredible.

"No..." Lu Xi quickly calmed down, trying to save his image as an unfilial son, "My gift is just..."

"Oh yes, your gift is so special, your father likes it very much!"

The queen immediately stopped him with her eyes.

The king obviously believed in this. After expressing high praise for Lu Xi's wit, he also increased Lu Xi's monthly pocket money amount, stubbornly thinking that Lu Xi bought such a top hat because of insufficient pocket money. .

Lu Xi, who was already the one with the most pocket money among the brothers and sisters: "..."

Resigned and frustrated to accept this fact.

The king was very happy, and all the nobles were congratulating the king for having such an extremely filial prince, and the music rang again in the banquet hall.

There were also many nobles who took advantage of the wind to please Lu Xi, but Lu Xi had no interest in socializing at all, and his whole body exuded a sluggish melancholy.

Lu Xi found a secluded corner and sat down, drinking juice depressedly.

The sound of elegant footsteps from far to near, accompanied by the sound of a wheelchair being pushed.

Lu Xi looked up, and as expected, he saw Kuindri sitting on the magic chair, and the tall and luxuriously dressed man next to him. He was at least [-]% similar to Kuindri in appearance, and his identity was ready to be revealed.

Lu Xi remembered the name of this great nobleman, Xinella Hegu.

At this time, he was smiling slightly, and said in an unabashedly appreciative tone: "Your noble little prince, you really did not misunderstand me. Among all the princes, you are the one with the most potential to succeed to the throne."

It's a pity that these words did not make Lu Xi feel the slightest pleasure, and Lu Xi knew the character of this great nobleman, so he had a half-point favor for him.

Lu Xi turned cold, not intending to respond to his compliment.

"You are so arrogant." Xinella praised, "You are exactly the same as His Majesty the King."

Lucy was about to faint.
