Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 265 To The Future Mechas



"Well, I have to get going; I'll see you, kids, later," the king replied before departing with the general and Kyris.

"Guys, I'm going to look for a gift for the princess's birthday; I'll see you all later," Sarah said, and they all left, going their separate ways to do their own thing.

While Alix was on his way to his apartment, he stopped by Sally's shop and went in then sat down by a table.

'Getting the perfect gift is going give me one hell of a time, especially since I have no idea what to get,' Alix thought as Sally approached him and sat down.

"What are you thinking?" she asked.

"Gifts," he responded and she smiled.

"For? Your girlfriend?" she asked, and he began coughing.

"Nope, definitely not, it's for the princess, it's her birthday tomorrow," he responded to which Sally smiled.

"I never expected to see you getting so worked up about a gift," she said.

"I am not getting worked up, I am just thinking," he replied.

"Alix, I may have something for the princess, but she will only appreciate it if you like it and give her with some sort of special feelings, whatever they may be, got it?" she asked and he nodded then she led him into her shop to show him what he could give to Adora while the princess and the mage arrived at the facility far outside the city where the Mechas were being made.

"We have arrived," Adora said as she exited the car, and the mage smiled.

"Ah, I wonder how the Mechas are coming along," he said, feeling the ground vibrate, and she smiled before entering the facility, where they met the man in charge of building the Mechas, who smiled when he saw the princess.

"Your highness," he said, bowing his head and she smiled.

"Hello, how are you?" she inquired.

"So far, so good; I've just been doing my job as usual; I hope things are going well with you guys as well; came to check in?" he asked, and both of them nodded before he smiled.

"Well, come with me," he said as he walked out to the open field where Adora had given Alix the last time she came here to test run a Mecha and looked at a few normal human-sized Mechas, whose shield began to move from the Mecha's face then the mage smiled after seeing what was behind the shield.

"Your highness," a guy inside the Mecha that was acting as armor said, and Nessa smiled at him.

"You did it, this is amazing," Adora said.

"Thank you," the man replied, "but I still have a lot of testing to do before bringing them into the field; so far, only those with powers can use them like this; I will keep testing and adjusting them for both males and females, I hope I get what we pictured, the perfect weapon and armor that's not huge like normal Mechas, it will take a bit more time."

"I'm fine with that," Nessa said.

"It's only for the top ranking for those who don't have power in the army, the top ones for powers, and a few in between so they can protect people and each other, it'll be a mix so we don't need that many for now, you have time," the mage explained, and the guy smiled.

"Thank you; I'm hoping to make the best of them; I'm hoping that all of our hard work pays off, in the end, this takes a lot of work out of everyone here," he replied.

"I am sure it will, I am glad we had that talk the last time, Alix tested it out, they run well, I look forward to seeing what the final look will be, good luck and I will see you soon," Adora said, and then he smiled, bowed his head, and they left the facility, but on the way back to the car, Adora noticed Xemon looking at her and she sighed, then turned to look at him and he smirked

"What is it?" she asked.

"What is what?" he asked.

"Why are you staring?" she inquired.

"So you brought Alix here before? That's nice," he responded as they got into the car and she scoffed.

"Aww, don't be like that," he said.

"Hush, I'm not sure where you think this conversation is going, so I'd like to end it or I'm going to hurt you," she replied as they drove away, and he chuckled.

"All right, I'm sorry," he said as she looked out the window at the trees and valleys they passed by on their way back to the city.

"Do you think this kingdom will last?" she asked and he sighed.

"I'm not sure," he replied, smiling. "We all want it to, and I for one hope it does because our kingdom is prosperous."

"You are correct, it is a prosperous one with a slightly bad past; I do not believe it should be destroyed," she said to which he smiled.

​ "Don't worry, we'll protect it with everything we've got," he replied.

"I hope we can, it will not be easy protecting it with our common enemy, someone who doesn't care about the lives to be destroyed in the process, someone like that is not redeemable, not in any way," she said, and he gave her a slight smile, knowing every bit of what she was saying was fact and the truth.

"You are right, no possible reason in the world can justify taking the lives of innocents, I don't know what will happen but as my brother said, no matter what happens in the future, we will stand by the leaders of this kingdom's side, that is you and your father, you should know that by now," he replied and she smiled slightly.

'I want to protect their legacy, I hope you can protect yours Alix, I will support you every step of the way, this is both of our stories, not one,' Adora thought, then exhaled deeply then looked in the palm of her hands.
