The next morning, when Xie Qi stepped out of the room, he caught a glimpse of Xie Nuoke standing upright at his door. His eyes were swollen and red, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.
But unlike in the past, there was nothing above Shenok's head, and the crown that originally belonged to the prince was now tightly held in his hand.
Xie Nok stared at Xie Qi intently, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.
When Xie Qi appeared in his sight, he immediately stepped forward and handed the crown to Xie Qi without hesitation, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "This is for..."
However, before Shenok could finish his words, Xie Qi quickly reached out and grabbed the crown in his hand. His movements were quick and decisive, and he placed the crown on Shenok's head without hesitation. His movements were skillful and natural.
Xie Qi yawned loudly and said lazily, "Wear it. I don't want such an ugly thing."
His tone was relaxed and casual, as if it was just a trivial matter, but this sentence made the other three people present stunned for a moment.
Because in their hearts, Xie Qi is the true heir to the throne, and the crown should be worn by him.
The crown is a symbol of a person's identity, representing supreme status and power. Therefore, when Xie Qi refused the crown handed over by Xie Nok without hesitation, he was actually indicating that he had no intention of inheriting the throne.
At this moment, Shenok didn't care about the crooked crown on his head. Instead, he asked again, "Why don't you want it? If you don't like it because I've worn it before, you can make a new one."
However, Xie Qi sighed helplessly and patiently explained to Xie Nuoke: "Xenoke, you have been learning the etiquette and norms of a prince since you were young, and you understand this country far better than I do. You have a closer connection with the people and know how to care for and take care of them. In comparison, you are more suitable to be this prince than I am, do you know that?"
Hearing this, tears welled up in Shenok's eyes. He sniffed and said in a sobbing voice, "But if we could grow up together, you would have the same opportunity to learn these knowledge and skills. In fact, you are smarter than me and learn faster."
"When you were little, your mother often praised you, saying that you learned everything very quickly. If we grew up together, you would definitely be able to do better than me." After saying this, Shenok's tears slid down his cheeks.
However, early in the morning, Xie Qi heard Xie Nuoke's annoying cry. He couldn't stand the noise any more, so he walked straight to Xie Nuoke, took off the crown on his head, and then banged him on the head twice without hesitation.
It can be said that the strength is just right, confusing but not brain-damaging.
Finney, who was standing by, was startled by Xie Qi's sudden action and subconsciously wanted to step forward to block Xie Nok, but after being glared at by Xie Qi, Finney retreated to his original position.
Xie Qi looked at Xie Nuoke, who covered his head with his hands and tears in his eyes, and said impatiently: "Still crying? Do you believe I will give you two more hits?"
Shenok quickly shook his head to indicate that he was no longer crying.
Xie Qi then said, "Elders take precedence. You are older than me, so you will be the prince. Do you understand?"
"But..." Just as Xie Nok was about to say something, he saw Xie Qi raise the golden crown in his hand again, as if to knock it on his head. Scared, he quickly said, "I know!"
"Hmm?" Xie Qi raised his eyebrows, without stopping the movement of his hands, but looked at Xie Nuoke with a smile.
Seeing this, Shenoke quickly changed his words: "I understand!"
"That's good, Your Highness." Xie Qi nodded with satisfaction and gently placed the crown on Xie Nok's head. He then turned around and took the hand of Szelote, who was also stunned, and said softly, "Szelote, let's go eat and not wait for them."
Just like that, under Xie Qi's "kind advice", Shenoke could only "willingly" accept this fact and continue to assume the responsibilities of a prince.
But for Xie Qi, the prince is the future king, so wouldn't he have to deal with boring government affairs all day long? He didn't want to be so tired, he just wanted to enjoy life to the fullest.
Therefore, the burden of managing the country should be left to Shenok.
Afterwards, after having dinner with Szelote, Xie Qi went to find Teacher Kevin alone, but when he just entered, he saw Teacher Kevin sitting at his desk, busy with something.
Teacher Kevin looked up at Xie Qi with a hint of surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect to see him here.
"Why are you here?" Teacher Kevin asked with a frown.
"I…shouldn't be here?"
Teacher Kevin's eyes widened and he said in a serious tone, "Of course not! All of you freshmen are in the library now. Today is the day you summon your magic weapons. Why didn't you go?!"
"Summoning a magic weapon? No one informed me."
“…I didn’t tell you?”
"Did you...say it?"
Seeing Xie Qi's bewildered expression, Teacher Kevin slapped his forehead in regret and blamed himself: "Oh, it's all my fault. I haven't taught new students in the past few years and I'm not used to it. I forgot to inform you. I'm so sorry!"
After saying that, Teacher Kevin hurriedly stood up, grabbed Xie Qi's arm, and quickly walked towards the library, saying as he walked, "Hurry up, we still have time to go there now. It should have just started."
When they arrived at the library, it was already packed with people. The library, which was always open to students, seemed particularly solemn and dignified today.
Instead of seeing students flying around in the air as usual, the classroom was filled with students sitting in neat rows.
