The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4227

Among all of the Larkinsons that stayed with the Wodins, no one received more attention and affection than Aurelia Wodin-Larkinson!

Of course, the hosts never showed any neglect towards Andraste and Marvaine Wodin-Larkinson, but it became clear that they mainly had Aurelia in their eyes.

It was kind of like how only the heirs of different monarchies got recorded in all of the history books while their younger siblings did not even merit a single sentence.

If the younger siblings did get mentioned for whatever reason, then either the crown fell upon them when the previous heirs got disqualified or because they got involved in coups.

Fortunately, none of the Larkinsons felt bothered by this. In Ves' opinion, the less attention the Wodins directed towards any of his children, the better.

The only reason why the Hexers spent time with them at all was because they knew that their powerful parents would do their best to raise them into great people.

Andraste Larkinson had the potential to become an exceedingly powerful mech pilot as long as she developed the right genetic aptitude.

Even if she didn't, she could still pursue a pure officer career and become a military leader comparable to General Verle in the future.

Meanwhile, everyone could figure out that Ves treated Marvaine as the heir to his mech design tradition.

The entire reason why the Hexers valued the Larkinson Clan so much to begin with was because of Ves!

Ves had already played an enormous role in changing Hexer society. The development of his Hexer mechs along with making the Superior Mother more tangible and approachable all turned him into their greatest benefactor!

If Marvaine, a son of a genuine Hexer, could continue Ves' good deeds, then that would definitely be great!

Still, important figures such as Constance Wodin and Amarintha Wodin mostly hovered around Aurelia. It was as if they saw the girl as the most important continuation of their dynasty! freёwebnovel.com

At this moment, Aurelia sat on Constance's lap. She looked fascinated at the parade of Wodin Warriors that were showing off a part of their mechs and other troops.

"What do you think about our forces, my dear?"

"Our clan is stronger." Aurelia instantly answered.

"Oh? Why is that the case?"

"Our mechs are prettier and better than yours!"

"Hahaha, maybe you have a point." Constance chuckled in a good-natured manner. "Our dynasty is not able to spend as freely on mechs as your clan. Building a colony like New Scimitar is extremely expensive, do you know that? All of these structures, all of these streets and everything that is needed to keep everything running costs an unimaginable amount of money. In order to make our living environment as safe and pleasant as possible, we spent more on building up this colony than on strengthening our mech forces."

The little girl frowned. "Papa always said that becoming stronger is more important than becoming rich."

"Your father is not wrong, my little doll, but the burden he bears is smaller than mine. Our dynasty is responsible to many more people. They cannot live their entire lives on starships like your Larkinsons. Only planets can give them the room they need to live their lives to the fullest. It takes far too much capital to build up a complete industrialized planet and economy from nothing. Our progress has been nothing less than amazing. Once you grow older and take charge over planets yourself one day, you will understand that you cannot lavish your military with as much money as you wish. You will have to set a more comprehensive budget that ensures that the civil part of your society does not fall too far behind."

"Huh?" Aurelia looked confused. "Papa didn't say that I will take over a planet. Our clan doesn't have any colonies."

"Not yet, at least, but that may change at any time. People can change, and your father will eventually understand that he can only grow stronger and develop his clan further if he builds his own kingdom. There is no other choice. I expect that his demand for phasewater will rise explosively in the coming decades. At that point, he will have no choice but to acknowledge that there is no other way to obtain large quantities of phasewater at regular intervals than to take control over his own territory."

Even Aurelia learned the value of phasewater at her age. It was one of the reasons why the Larkinson Clan managed to leap ahead all of a sudden in the last 5 years.

"Phasewater…"

Constance Wodin smiled as she softly stroked Aurelia's head. "Yes, phasewater is the key to everything. Those who hold the greatest amount of phasewater holds the greatest amount of power. With great power, you can defeat every enemy that wants to do you harm and obtain whatever you need by force. We wouldn't have tolerated the Friday Colonies for so long if we possessed greater force. It is a pity that our Hex Federation doesn't have particularly abundant reserves of phasewater."

"Is that why you want to get closer to my clan, grandma?"

"Haha, what a clever little girl. Gloriana truly raised you well. That is right. We are family, so we should help each other. When your father and your mother were weak, we helped your clan survive and grow stronger. Once you have all grown stronger than us, I hope you remember everything we have done for you and do the same. My Wodins and your Larkinsons go hand to hand. As a child descended from both of our groups, it is up to you to lead us both into a glorious future."

"Wooo…" Aurelia said as her eyes grew wide.

"Does that sound fun to you? If you want, we can even persuade the other Hexers to turn you into the Empress of the Hex Federation. Nothing is impossible as long as you are brilliant enough. Just say the word, and we will lay the groundwork for your future coronation."

If any normal person heard that they could become the leader of an entire state, they would probably jump at the opportunity without any delay!

Aurelia was different, though.

"...I'm thirsty, grandma. I want to drink juice."
