The Undying Mecha Emperor-Chapter 290 Prophecies

Marry you? Hey hey. We're still kids. Why the hell are you talking about marriage?" I exclaimed in surprise. "And the answer is still no! I am not making promises I can't keep. And you… You are a Princess of a superpower Empire. I don't think you get to choose who to marry."

"It is exactly because the Empire is a superpower that I have perfect freedom in choosing who to marry. My family holds absolute power. We do not have merchant princes or generals to "maintain". They either serve us wholeheartedly, or they die." After saying that, though, Princess Louisa frowned.

"What's wrong with marrying me? I am beautiful. My mom and my grandma both have large breasts. I will eventually have large breasts too. And I will fulfill you physically to the maximum. Plus I am also smart, and I will be caring to you. I am your best choice."

I gulped at her liberal mention of large breasts and satisfying me physically. I may be a junkyard scrapper, but I have a rough idea what that means.

Very rough idea.

"Ah hahaha. I see I see. Big breasts are good. Big breasts are really good. Lots of milk." I babbled as I lost my composure a little bit.

"Of course they are good." Princess Louisa puffed up her chest a little bit. They were still small at that point, but the mounds were already forming. "We are still a bit too young to do the naughty stuff, but if you like, I can give you a prev-"

"Nonono. I am good, thanks." I said hastily. "Let's not get too serious. I am not going to marry you, and that's that. I will not betray my friends."

Deep in my heart, I could feel my heart break slightly over the lost chance to explore a girl's body. I may be ten, but my physical growth was closer to an eighteen year old's.

But thank goodness my sense of right and wrong had also developed quite well, and I refused to take advantage of her, much to the disappointment of several parts of my soul.

Princess Louisa narrowed her eyes slightly at my words.

"Then… Am I not your friend?" She asked softly.

"Am I?" I asked her back while rolling my eyes slightly.

"I see. Fine. I will let you check out one golden mecha and one experimental tech. In exchange, you have to study at my school for two months and be my friend. A true friend. Do we have a deal?" Princess Louisa said with a soft voice.

She was truly determined to get her hands on me!

I pondered on her words carefully.

The deal was for a golden mecha and an experimental tech. But there was no prohibition on me doing my very best to steal other tech I can get my hands on.

And apparently, Princess Louisa was no dumb girl.

"If you can get your hands on other tech, its your gain. I won't begrudge anything you gain from your own efforts." She said with a smile. "You will be treated as a VIP with… access to my private chambers."

"I see." I grinned at her openness and merely shook my head helplessly. "Let's go then. Two months would see us nearly to the start of your invasion of USAA, IF the Oceanic Tribes have not attacked us yet. We don't have much time to lose."

Princess Louisa's face broke into the most mesmerizing and beautiful smile I had ever seen, one that was so sincerely happy and blissful that it made me almost feel guilty over my earlier decision to slap her face.

Almost.

Not quite. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢

She was still a vicious killer in my mind, one who was only so kind to me due to my physical influence over her very fiber of being.

As I had mentioned before, though artificial and unnatural, that influence was real, especially for her.

It was her reality, and thus by right, should be responded in kind.

"Maybe she will shed her vicious killer persona once we get to the Empire." I thought casually as I made my way to her.

Her eyes widened in surprise as I stood before her.

"Excuse me. I want to download the data on this mecha. Set a course to the empire and let me sit here please." I said politely.

A brief expression of disappointment flashed on her face before she cleared her throat slightly and quickly entered the coordinates of the Empire on the autopilot.

"Here you go." She said as she slid her lithe body away to let me sit on the main control seat.

I connected my personal comms with the alien tech to manually download as much data as I could.

However, as I was fiddling with the connection, my comms suddenly came to life.

"JUSTIN!!" Came the Ancestor's voice.

"Huh? Oh hey old man! I am back! Did you miss me?" I instantly replied cheerfully.

"You punk! Why the hell did you not contact us when you returned? What the hell happened to you? Where did you go?" The Ancestor roared angrily.

"Hey, what's with the unwarranted hostility. I only JUST returned! I was about to contact you when you contacted me first!" I lied smoothly.

"Lying is a sin you little bastard. But it's good that you're fine. Your big bro and his naggy wife were both worried sick. But you'll have to wait before you get to talk to them. They are on a top secret, highly critical mission right now." The Ancestor said in his usual grumpy voice.

"Ahh okay. So they got out of that situation with the Europeans just fine. Good. Good! I am on a top secret, highly critical mission myself." I said rather proudly, much to the chagrin of the Ancestor.

"WHAT TOP SECRET HIGHLY CRITICAL MISSION?! I am the issuer of missions, especially the top secret kind! You don't bloody issue top secret missions to yourself! Get your ass back here at once! We need to debrief you!" The Ancestor exploded.

"Hey, you're really emotional today. What's going on? And I can't get back. I am on my way to the European Empire for a spying mission. I will periodically contact you and send you my findings." I said to him openly and caused Princess Louisa's eyes to widen slightly before giggling at my blatant confession of my spying plans.

"Who's that?" The Ancestor said sharply.

"Princess Louisa. The cause behind all of the fiasco caused by the Europeans back then. Don't worry though, we have a deal in place. We-" I tried to reassure the Ancestor.

"Princess Louisa? Hmmmm. Interesting. Interesting! Fine. Do your worst and make sure you come back safely. Just don't come back a married man! Hahahahahaha!!! I will wait for your next communication!" The Ancestor laughed loudly before clicking off abruptly.

"Strange." I muttered.

I was quite surprised that the Ancestor did not require more explanation and assurance of my loyalty.

"He sure is confident that you'll go back to the Chinese Federation." Princess Louisa remarked.

"Yeah. I thought I had to do more convincing for him to understand the value of my mission. But I guess he is very much assured of my loyalty due to the prophecy that he has of me." I replied thoughtfully.

"Prophecy? You guys believe in prophecies too?" Princess Louisa said with a laugh. "I thought the European old women were the worst of the superstitious lot. But apparently Chinese old men are pretty bad too."

"Superstition, maybe. Maybe not. But even if its true, being a black dragon who holds the fate of the Federation in my hands isn't pretty bad." I said casually with laugh of my own.

"Bl-black dragon!?" Princess Louisa suddenly said loudly in a surprised voice.

"Uh huh. Wait. Don't tell me that you Europeans have a prophecy of me too? What? A dark harbinger of doom shall arrive upon the shores of the Empire with the Princess in tow? He shall smite the enemies of the Empire with one hand and devour its loyalists with the other?" I said half sarcastically half curiously.

I did not expect to see Princess Louisa's face suddenly paling in fright.

"Huh? What the hell, is that the prophecy??" I said in disbelief.

"N-no. Not quite. But…" Princess Louisa hesitated for a moment.

"Not quite? So it's close?" I pressed.

"A black dragon shall land upon the shores of the Empire. He will devour its soul, steal its heart and trample upon its children. Beware the black dragon. Beware the black dragon. Beware the black dragon." Princess Louisa whispered softly as her beautiful round eyes which were filled with confusion and disbelief locked on mine.

"Hohoho. That sounds about right. According to the prophets in the Chinese Federation, I am the prophesied Black Dragon. And yes, I don't really mind wrecking the entire European Empire. What was it again? Devour its soul, steal its heart and trample its kids?" I smiled sinisterly at Princess Louisa.

But Princess Louisa wasn't done.
