The Undying Mecha Emperor-Chapter 305 Wilford Estate
Uhhhh. Giving tribute and treasures to the Black Dragon? That's the final thing you need to know about the Black Dragon?" I asked slightly incredulously.
I glanced at the Red Dragon Sword before realizing that it was not the only Royal Treasure I had.
"I have Princess Louisa's Royal Artifact too! The defensive shield!" I realized with a start, and instantly regretted not using it while I was being attacked by the Red Dragon Sword just now.
"But if I had used it, then Arabella would not have gotten to absorb the fire energy, so… Maybe it's a good thing after all." I comforted myself.
Prince Wilford glanced at the Red Dragon Sword in my hands and then at Princess Louisa's neck which was very obviously missing a Royal Artifact.
Prince Wilford had never been and will probably never be anybody's fool.
Without a single shred of doubt, I knew for certain then he knew who the subject of his sister's prophecy was. Or at least highly suspected it.
In many ways, he was quite unlike the bombastic, explosive brother of his who probably exploded in anger many, many more times than bursting out into a smile.
But both of them were similar in one manner.
They exhibited the element they embodied to the maximum degree.
And I guess it was the case with Princess Louisa too. She was vibrant, vivacious, lively, and more difficult to kill than a cockroach, just like her element.
Anyway, I digress.
"Ah!" Princess Louisa cried out in pain as the fourth rune started to manifest powerfully.
Being a reverse stanza prophecy, the rune was particularly strong and it even managed to hurt Princess Louisa through her abundant life energy which afforded her an extremely high pain threshold.
The rune shape that appeared on her arm was also many times more complex than the previous simplistic three, and there was a sense of joyfulness in that final rune which I simply couldn't put a finger to.
And finally, as that fourth rune was taking shape, I could also sense that Princess Louisa's power was actually rising.
Her previously life energy which she subconsciously emanated from her body was thick and strong.
But at that moment, the thickness and strength of that life energy seeping out was simply ridiculous.
It was so thick that I felt like I could almost touch it. And it was so strong that Princess Louisa herself even realized that energy was seeping out of her, and attempted to lock down her power.
To no effect, of course. She was not in the best state of mind, and had much to reconcile in her heart and mind before her control of fine energy sublimes enough to control it.
"Hey you okay?" I asked her casually.
"Ah!" Princess Louisa's round eyes widened at my question and her face burned a bright chilli red.
"I, I am okay!" She said hurriedly in reply and then quickly stood behind Prince Wilford while grabbing hold of his arm.
I could sense that she was experiencing a mess of emotions.
Slight embarrassment over her earlier sight of my manhood in all of its glory.
Relief that I was okay.
Excited that I succeeded in taming the sword.
And joy that I was actually concerned for her wellbeing.
And… well probably surprise at the size of my little Justin.
After all, I had gone through a massive physical enhancement, and my little Justin was not very little anymore.
"Good. That fourth scar looks really painful." I remarked.
"She's fine. Let's go. The Emperor awaits." Prince Wilford said and gestured for us to start walking before turning to speak to Princess Louisa. "Father is worried about you."
"Bullshit." Princess Louisa pouted as she started to walk in the direction Prince Wilford gestured.
Prince Wilford fell in place next to her and their respective legions followed them from behind.
I hastily took my place on the other side of Princess Louisa and together, we started the long trek towards the determined pick up point.
"He is probably more concerned on fulfilling the prophecy than on my well being." Princess Louisa sneered at Prince Wilford. "There won't be a Black Dragon in the Empire if I am dead now, will there? And that is all that he cares about. The damn Black Dragon and the damn Empire."
"The heart of THE Emperor of the only empire on this planet does not belong to him, nor to his family." Prince Wilford said softly. "But even if he cares more about the Empire, a father's love for her daughter will never fade."
"Sigh. I would say that you're talking complete bullshit again if not for the fact that you have a daughter yourself. You probably know what you're talking about. Speaking of which, how is little Stephanie? Does she miss me, her super duper awesome aunt?" Princess Louisa asked him eagerly.
"She does." A rare warm smile appeared on Prince Wilford's face. "She has been asking where her pretty ehm aunty is."
"Pretty ehm aunty? HAHA! You mean her pretty crazy aunty?" Princess Louisa laughed uproariously. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
"She's not allowed to use that word." Prince Wilford said with his smile still plastered on his face.
"She's already seven, cut her some slack." Princess Louisa rolled her eyes at him.
"Guys, I don't want to be insensitive and break up your happy catching up. But I really need to pee. Can we get a transport jet or something to pick us up please?" I raised my hand and interrupted them.
Princess Louisa giggled and gestured at one of her aides following close to her.
"Our escort has been instructed to await our arrival at sector 6829. We should be there in half an hour." She said.
"Half an hour? My bladder would have exploded three times by then!" I shouted at the poor aide loudly.
"Move it forward. Pick us up now." Princess Louisa said authoritatively.
"As you wish, Princess." The aide replied and quickly said some stuff to her comms.
"Thanks Louisa." I said warmly to her.
"Don't worry about it. Oh look, its here. That's fast." Princess Louisa said as she looked at a distant speck speeding towards us.
"You Europeans are so considerate. It looks like it's in a really big hurry." I said gratefully.
"Hmmm? That's…" Prince Wilford frowned deeply as he recognized the jet. He glanced at his comms, and then back at the jet once more as soon as he realized that his comms had no new notifications.
"PRINCE WILFORD!! THE WILFORD ESTATE IS UNDER SIEGE!! JAMMERS ARE IN EFFECT!! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS IMMEDIATELY!!" Came a very loud shout of desperation from the jet.
I had a very good impression of Prince Wilford thus far, and I wanted to get into his good books.
So without hesitation, I grabbed both Louisa and him, and unleashed a massive burst of lightning energy to propel us at massive speed towards the jet which was still a distance away!
We covered the distance which was around five kilometers away in a matter of seconds, and we entered it immediately.
Prince Wilford could probably do as I did, but he definitely couldn't do it as quickly as I did.
All three of us raced to the control panel of the jet.
"Let me do it. You prepare for battle!" I shouted as I forced my way into the cockpit and immediately unleashed all of my resonance into the jet.
I turned it around, quickly identified the overload section and dumped a colossal amount of my lightning energy into it.
KAAABOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!
The jet was flung ahead at phenomenally insane speeds and we sped towards the Wilford Estate grimly.
"Who is attacking us?" Prince Wilford said coldly to his aide. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼ｍ
"They are as yet completely unknown, Sire. But initial readings are reporting that the attackers are mostly, if not all, biomechs." The aide replied.
"Biomechs? The Russians?" Prince Wilford frowned. "Who else is under attack? Where is the National Guard? How are we holding?"
"Our second line of defenses were collapsing when I escaped fifteen minutes ago. The National Guard did not appear. All attempts to contact them had failed. And as far as we could scan on our way here, there were no other fights breaking out. They are definitely not the Russians, Sire. They look like oceanic monsters!" The aide replied hurriedly.
I instantly frowned at the aide's words.
"An oceanic tribe has surfaced, and is involved in the Empire's politics? Insanity! How the hell did that happen?" I thought to myself in consternation.
"The third line and final line of defense will hold for a most another five minutes if the first two lines collapsed so quickly. Justin, get us there in three minutes." Prince Wilford said as he tossed a frozen blue spear at me. "This spear is yours. Go!"
"Your Royal Weapon!?" Princess Louisa gasped. "The prophecy…"
"Screw the prophecy! For this spear, and to save your family, I will get you home in one minute! Here we goooo!!!" I shouted excitedly and poured all three of my energies into the jet!!
KKAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
The jet leapt forward and increased its already insane speed once more!
