Chapter 75 - Level And Lie

"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."

"..."

"R-Rex...?!!!", her expressions completely changed when she heard his name.

For some reason she wasn't mad anymore for calling her 'Aunty' instead she was quite shocked and kept on staring at him.

"Aunty...? Are you alright?", Rex asked with innocence as if he didn't know why she was shocked when suddenly she asked him to let her down.

Rex did as he said. She got down and breathed a bit heavily as if she was trying to calm herself.

"Is that really you Rex...!?", she still couldn't believe her ears when she heard him saying that he was Rex.

But she knew that he was Rex after looking at his red hairs and eyes.

"Haha, it indeed is me!", he said it again upon hearing which she suddenly hugged him.

"Where were you till now!!? Do you know how much his highness was worried about you!!?"

She couldn't help but shed tears because she too missed him.

She often visited the palace where she would always find Rex and Julia together. She would go near them and greet them and tell them awesome stories which she had read from the books since she was a librarian all along.

Rex and Julia would listen to the story keenly and then ask many questions which she would answer. They were so interested that she would come almost daily and tell them new stories or continue the old ones.

Due to this they had grown attached to each other and that was why when she found out that Rex had run away from the palace, she was really sad since those times stopped all of a sudden.

Now once again she was able to see him. She literally considered him as her own child and that was why she too was impatient to meet him.

"Ya... but this was a necessary step to become strong.", was what Rex immeditely said after smiling a bit.

"But still...", she was still quite sad as well as angry because of his sudden disappearance.

"You won't do it again right?", she asked since she didn't want to lose him again or see him vanished for a long time.

He nodded his head and said, "I don't think so I can gain anything more if I leave abruptly..."

What he said was indeed true since he already had the knowledge of the past world and now the present was also in his grasp. His strength was already incomparable and his level was already showing infinity. So there was no need for him to go on another adventure in seeking strength.

"Oh... then tell me, what level are you in?", she immeditely asked him after he said that.

"Pardon...? Level...?", for a second Rex was shocked.

"Yes, can't you see your level?", she asked this almost instantly.

"Huh...?", Rex was completely stunned. He thought that it was only him in this world who could see the levels and other things but it seemed as if even others could do that.

"Can you show me this level thing you are saying Aunty...?", he wanted to see the difference in the things between what others could see and what he could look into.

She immeditely raised her hand after which a small screen was flashed before him.

It was somewhat greenish in colour and had many characters in it.

However it showed only 5 things.

NAME: Herla Michelle

LEVEL: 29

GENDER: Female

RACE: Human

CLASS: Mage

Immeditely after Rex saw this he understood that she had no access to other info at least that's what he thought.

"Other things are a secret and cannot be shown to others...", she immeditely said that.

"Cannot be shown? You mean there are even more things that are seen?", he asked it immeditely for which she nodded her head.

"Aunty... Aunty, please... please show me...", he used the trick of puppy eyes in order to convince her since he knew that she liked cute things.

"Ehh..??!! Your eyes...", she tried her best to resist it but in the end she failed to do it.

She immeditely said, "Fine, I will show you but your can't tell that to anyone, got it??"

Rex nodded his head and waited in anticipation for her to show.

"Sigh...", she sighed and immeditely waved her hand in the air and as soon as she did the same screen that had appeared earlier, appeared once again but this time it's length was quite long.

He saw all those tremendous stats and then understood about the characteristics.

"Wow, so this is all that we can see!!?", Rex asked suddenly after looking into all of that.

Herla nodded her head and agreed to what Rex was asking.

She then immeditely said, "That's all there is to it. Can you tell me what level have you reached Prince?"

She was quite curious about his level and strength since he was absent for so long so she expected him to be at least level 25 or above as he was still young.

But little did she know that his level was infinity. If he were to tell that then she would not believe that in the first place. Also, after saying if he were to show his level and characteristics to her, she would have definitely fainted by it.

"Uhh... that's..."

He was trying to avoid that question by thinking of an excuse but Herla knew it very well about his plan. So she immediately acted as if she was pitiful.

"So you don't even trust me? You won't tell me your level? *sniff sniff sob sob*"

She knew that he was a kind boy who always respected everyone and couldn't see her crying. That was why she acted it out.

"N-no, don't cry. I'll tell...", he extended his hand in order to console her when she immeditely grabbed his hands and started laughing.

"Haha, haha. I know you would agree!"

"Huh? Don't tell me that all was an act!", he made a weird expression and stared at her.

She was grinning and controlling her laughter.

"Uhh, since when did I become so weak hearted!?", he was cussing at himself and thinking this.

"Come on now! Don't leave it as a suspense! Tell me, what level are you at?", she couldn't wait any longer and that was why she was asking again and again.

"Okay, I'll tell you!", he finally agreed.

"Yes!!!", her excitement rose and she was now enthusiastic.

"But..."

"Eh? But...?"

"Yes, before I could tell that, can you tell me what level was Father when he was my age?", he asked this suddenly which she didn't see it coming.

"You mean Ale— I mean his highness?"

Rex nodded his head. He had seen many portraits of his father and Herla together as if they were friends. So he had anticipated that she light have known about this. He too was curious to know about this.

"You are sixteen right?", she asked for which Rex nodded his head again.

"Hmm, if I'm not wrong, he was level 35 when he was sixteen years old.", she smirked a bit while she said that.

Rex immeditely after hearing that told, "I'm level 35 too!"

"Eh?", she was suddenly shocked when she heard him say that.

"You are Level 35?!", it was as if she heard that the demon lord had become an angel. It was too unbelievable.

"C-can you show me...?", it was inevitable as no one would believe that just like that.

Alexander was considered to be a genius and that was why he was able to do that. So Rex too was able to accomplice such a feat came with a surprise to Herla.

"Okay...", Rex immeditely used high level illusion magic which couldn't even be detected by a level 100 person.

"Wow, you really are level 35...", for some reason she started to sweat a lot and was quite astonished after seeing that.

"Wait, let me drink some water...", she had been standing for sometime so she wanted to drink water and sit down a bit.

She walked inside to the library and took out a glass and poured some water from the water tank that was kept.

She started drinking it while her eyes were bulged all this time as if she wa still surprised.

"What happened aunty? Can't I be as talented as father?", is what Rex asked because he thought that Herla was underestimating Rex.

But anyone would be surprised by that on seeing a trash pronce becoming a genius. But the reason for her surprise was completely different from that.

"No... that's not the case prince...", she still hadn't calmed down.

"Then...?"

"I lied to you...", she immeditely said that after thinking for a while.

"Lied...?"
