Rise of the Malactric Heir

Chapter 28 Mecha

When Alix finished he came out and saw the princess standing by the door and she threw him a key card.

'What's this for?" he asked as he grabbed onto it.

"A few of the mechas are done, mine included though I won't need it, we are going to take a look at them, they are in a base not far beyond the mountains, it's safe there, come on," she responded as she left and he followed her but before that made sure he locked his door.

After both of them got into the car, the princess sighed and they left.

'Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I am fine, also the others are not coming, just you and me," she responded.

"I see, that seems sort of unfair, I do care about them but no matter," he said as she looked at him.

"One thing I am sure about, you are no hero Alix," she replied.

"I don't care, I have no interest in being some stupid hero who will put everything at risk just to protect the bloody world," he said and she scoffed.

"I will shape you for the future, I have a feeling you will be of good use to me," she thought as they drove past the hills outside of the city and he looked at the money on the tress and a phoenix flew by them.

"I haven't seen a phoenix in a while," he said as the car stopped between two mountains and a huge gate was before them.

"Your highness," the guard said as he came to the car and she showed him the key cards.

"You may pass but I have to warn you, they had an accident last night," he said.

"Don't worry about it, I will take care of it," she replied as the huge iron gates opened and a green light appeared before them, the car drove in it and they appeared in a yard where a few black cars were parked, it was noisy and filled with trees along with a huge circular glass building in the middle of nowhere.

"Come on," she said while getting out and Alix followed her.

"Your highness," a knight called out as he rushed to her and she looked up in the air upon hearing a huge explosion and the earth rumbled as a smirk appeared on her face.

'I take it, it's ready?" she asked.

"Yes," he responded as they walked to the building and the glass door opened letting out cold air.

"It's cold, what are you people doing?" Alix asked as they entered and the door closed behind them.

'Relax just follow me," the knight replied as they entered a room where Alix was stunned upon seeing a metal robot in front of him.

"Is that a mecha?" he asked as she braced back against the glass barrier.

'Yeah that's mine and they are not like robots, they are far different," she responded as he stared at the mecha which was fully armored, gold, white and red in color.

"They are powered by magic right?" Alix asked as the mecha looked at him and the princess smiled.

"Yes in a way, of course, I can control it without actually being in the seat of the pilot, I put it on autopilot, she is my design," she responded and he scoffed.

"Can I try yours out then?" he asked.

"It does not work like that," the head engineer said as he came to them.

"Aslon, I am sure it can," she replied.

'Your highness, forgive me but it's too dangerous, we only started testing yesterday," Aslon said and she looked at Alix who was looking at her mecha with an eager look.

"Come on," she said as she opened the door and went outside, walked down the stair, and looked up at the mecha as the door opened automatically.

"Go in and sit by the pilot's seat," she said and he did as told, the screen appeared before him and the pilot seat lit up gold as he sat down and heal onto the steering before him while leaning forward and she smiled.

"He is connected to me, it will work," she said as her eyes glowed and he looked at her.

"The instructions will appear on the screen follow them, remember the mecha is mine, you are only the pilot for a short while, don't push it, you might end up dying, it's blood connected after all," she said with a wink and the door closed as steam came off of the mechas feet and Alix's eyes started glowing red and a red stipe appeared in the mecha's eyes with a gold lining and she scoffed.

'This should be interesting," Aslon said as Alix's body trembled while taking control of the mecha as it moved forward and the engineers moved back as the mecha started levitating in the air.

'Your highness, I still think this is a bad idea, seems like the mecha accepted him, but he doesn't have full control, also he seems to be following the command, he chooses what to do, if that thing crashes, that boy will die," Aslon said.

"Pass me the headphone that's connected to Alix," she said and the engineer brought it to her, after putting it on her eyes glowed blue as she appeared on the screen before Alix and he smiled.

"If you die it's not my fault," she said.

"I know, I will be fine though, I can pilot it alone, I read the instructions," he replied.

"Fine, take it for a flight, be careful you only go up and come back down, nothing more than that or I will teach you a good lesson," she said.

"Got it," he replied then she took the headphone off as the mecha flew up in the air and the dust from the ground blew up causing the earth to rumble upon its take-off and she sighed in relief as a golden bracelet appeared around her wrists along with Alix's.

"I am going to be fine," Alix replied.
