I would like to kindly ask you vs I want to ask you

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different tones. 'I would like to kindly ask you' is more formal. However, "kindly" is rarely used in native English speakers in this context. Meanwhile, 'I want to ask you' is more direct and sounds more natural.
