(Changing RL to Ri for Romantic interest)
The Mc is the child of an emporor/king.
As a child, they find out the responsibilities and the troubles you have to go through as the monarch and summed us they were like 'Oh hell no Im not gonna put up with this shit'
They then proceed to 'fall' down the stairs because if you have a disability they predicted they probably wont be in the running for the crown and it will be given to their other siblings.
Unfortunately the stunt they pulled didn't succeed and they landed safely enough that nothing awful happened to them only a sprain.
Mc was unsatisfied with this and decided to pretend to be disabled instead (inability to walk)
You can create their childhood.
The day when the king decides to give someone the throne, all his children have to be at the palace at the time like a party. Including Mc.
They shows up in a wheelchair with a very trusted maid pushing them.
When the King grabs everyone's attention for the announcement instead of the snobby younger sibling that everyone expected it to be, he calls out Mc's name. Shocking everyone.
Mc is frozen in shock. But remembers to keep in character of a disabled person. They start to beg the king to give it to one of their more competent sibling.
Then the king reveals how the trusted maid was actually his spy, and all the trusted maids/butlers of all his children were his spies so he could get clear info about who is the most competent to be The King. (You're king, no matter of gender)
And once, the maid accidently saw Mc getting up from their wheelchair to do something and realised that they were not disabled at all. And was fooling everyone.
The maid reveals about how extremely smart, cunning, skillful with weapons and every other quality you would find in a good ruler was in the Mc.
Everyone is in shock, and the snobby sibling speaks up about how this is unacceptable.
The king says how the tradition of taking the throne if you reject the new monarch was a fight to the death and throws a sword at the feet of the Mc.
The snobby sibling takes out their own sword from their hilt, believing nothing in what the king said about the Mc being not disabled as they were very believable and charges towards Mc at full force.
Mc realises that their life is in danger and finally decides to reveal the truth.
They stand up quickly, grabs the sword from the floor, twisting themself, pushing the sword into the torso of the snobby sibling watching cold-bloodedly as they fall to their death.
If you want a Ri they could be the crown prince/princess of another country that saw all this going down.
Everyone cannot believe their eyes and the King stands there smugly proudly knowing that this was going to happen.
Without anyone having the chance blink Mc flips them off and starts running outwards the doors screaming, "IM NOT RULING THIS PATHETIC EMPIRE YOU BASTARDS."
And goes off to live as a pirate.
In the end, they will be known as the 'Gangster/vulgar/thug/pirate monarch' as they eventually do take over the empire.
