Leo left a message to his older brother Reinhart to make him not worry once he returned to their destroyed small hut and end up not finding him. He was then finally escorted back to the Heart town along with Elizabeth and her men.

"By the way, why were you alone? Isn't your older brother supposedly with you?" Elizabeth curiously asked while jumping merely beside him.

"He was out hunting." Leo replied, seemingly sounding nonchalant.

"Then why were you trapped inside that place when we found you?"

"A bunch of Magical Beast found our small hut, so I hid inside the small underground room that I and my older brother had made in case of meeting a similar kind of situation. When those Magical beasts finally left, I tried to open the door, but I was unable to because a lot of stuff was blocking the way and I don't have enough strength to push it upward. Then, the rain became heavy, causing that place to be flooded. I felt desperate and started doing the best that I could to escape, but it was still impossible. Then I drowned, you guys arrived, saved me, and lastly, you stole my kiss, which I, fortunately, took back."

"Cool!" Elizabeth's eyes were like sparkling stars while listening to Leo's near-death experience. She hasn't yet tried such kind of experience in the past yet, so she can't help becoming intrigued and wanted to know more. "Then what was it like meeting those bunch of Magical Beasts? Did you feel afraid? Panic? Or maybe you were thinking that you will definitely die?"

Hearing Elizabeth's question, Leo smiled before puffing his chest to express how proud he was of himself. He then replied, "I didn't feel afraid, panic, or even thought that I was going to die. I instead remained calm and steady, and handled the situation just like how my older brother had said that I should do."

"You're so brave and courageous!"

"Of course, I am! A man never hides in face of... Cough! I mean, I'm a man, that's why I'm brave and courageous, ha-ha-ha-ha!" Leo proclaimed while letting out an awkward laughter after nearly saying that 'A man never hides in face of danger!' when in fact what he did the moment he saw the bunch of Magical Beasts was run and hide inside the small underground room.

"Ohhh..." Elizabeth expressed that she understands Leo's words, but deep in her mind, she can't help but start mocking him, "You're just a small boy, so what's this all about being a man is brave and courageous? Don't make me laugh! Not to mention, you just said that you were hiding inside the small underground room the moment the bunch of Magical Beasts arrived."

.....

*Bang!

A sound of a vase being thrown into the floor sounded, before quickly being followed after by an angry shout.

"Don't you ever dare mentioned that same idea to me again! Sealing Leo's memories about the Red Cube so that his Fate would change? And you also want to seal all the memories of him having any sort of interactions with Magic and all the knowledge related to that? Even wishing for him not to get near any Magic related books after sealing his memories? You're really thinking of doing that to your younger brother?! How dare you!" Patriarch Red Heart scolded Reinhart who was standing in front of him.

Unbeknownst to Leo, Reinhart actually didn't go hunting out, but instead, he went back home to tell his father, Patriarch Red Heart, about his idea to protect Leo from his destined Fate to fight against the Gods.

Reinhart was thinking of using his unique capability of erasing and sealing memories from either the mind or the heart to try and seal all of Leo's memories about the Red Cube and all the things related to Magic, in such a way he hopes that the Red Cube would give up on Leo and choose someone else to become its new owner.

"Father, let me seal Leo's memories about the Red Cube and all Magic related stuffs." Reinhart repeated again for the hundredth of times. He has been standing here in front of his father for an entire day, repeating his suggestion over and over again, until his father finally had enough of him and threw that vase to the floor. Prior to this, his father was only replying with 'No', until just now.

Patriarch Red Heart's head began twitching in anger, "How many times do I have to repeat to you! No! Don't! Impossible! Rejected! Give up! I won't agree! Not gonna happen! I won't allow it!"

"Father, let me seal Leo's memories about the Red Cube and all Magic related stuffs."

Bang!

Patriarch Red Heart smashed the table located at his side using his hands, "You really won't give up, aren't you?"

"Yes!" Reinhart replied firmly and full of determination.

Hearing Reinhart's reply, Patriarch Red Heart heaves a sigh of helplessness as he can't help massaging his forehead to release his stress. Soon, he walked towards his chair and sat down before resting his head to his right hand and asked, "Tell me, why?"

"Because I believe that once Leo forgets about the Red Cube and doesn't have any sort of relation with Magic anymore, the Red Cube would naturally give up on him and- "Reinhart wanted to repeat the same reply he had said before when the first time his father asked him why he wanted to do this, but this time before he could finish his words, he was immediately interrupted.

"Tell me another reason why you want to do this!" Patriarch Red Heart interrupted. He then continued, "Is it perhaps because you're jealous of your younger brother being chosen by the Red Cube and thought that what if Leo forget about the Red Cube and doesn't have any knowledge about Magic anymore, would the Red Cube still choose him, or would it finally choose me? Is it because you genuinely want the Red Cube to choose someone else, not you, not me, not your mother, and certainly not your younger brother, but someone else not part of the Heart Noble Household? Or maybe something else that I don't know about? Go on, enlighten me of your reason why!"

Patriarch Red Heart expressed his clear desire to know the real truth behind why Reinhart was relentless in his pursuit to seal his younger brother's memory about the Red Cube and everything he knew related to Magic.

Hearing his father's question, Reinhart calmly replied, "I'm not jealous about my brother being chosen by the Red Cube, but if it's indeed possible for me to have the Red Cube, then it's much better. However, my real intention from the very start was for us to cut everything we have in relation to the Red Cube, so my answer is the second choice."

"Why?" Patriarch Red Heart immediately asked.

"It's very simple, and I'll repeat this answer to you no matter how many times you ask me. My dearest father, Patriarch Red Heart of the Heart Noble House, I believe with all my heart and being that it's impossible for us to defeat the Gods of the Celestial World no matter what kind of options we try to choose."

Reinhart slammed the table with his hand as he explained, "You've seen with your own eyes already the battlefield of the War of Races in the past, so you should be clear by now about just how powerful the forces of those Gods are, not to mention the Gods themselves."

"Moreover, our Human race is already struggling just to fight for the sake of our own survival in this God-forsaken world, and yet we are actually thinking of the survival of everyone in the Celestial World? Such thought is really laughable!"

"What's even more important is, those Foreign races is what causes our present predicament right now. So, tell me, father, do you really want to save what causes us to suffer? But even if you indeed say yes, would you really agree that Leo should be the one to do that?"

"Oh, let me quickly remind you first before answering my question; this is just a 5-year-old kid we are talking about, so if you really believe that Leo should be doing this, then not to be rude, I want to know what's your purpose of existence? No, what's our purpose of existence, as in every one of us, either of Human race or the entire Foreign race, since we are giving the responsibility of being a hero and saving the entire Celestial World to a mere 5-year-old-kid!" Reinhart finally finished explaining.

The moment Reinhart finishes his explanation, Patriarch Red Heart was already wearing a very solemn expression on his face. A debate was currently going on inside his mind right now. A battle between following what the Ancestors of the Heart Family back on Earth has repeatedly told to every Patriarch of the Heart Family, and what he believes is the right thing to do as Leo's father.

Reinhart also understood the struggle going on inside his father's mind right now.

Patriarch Red Heart was a traditional and stubborn man who believes that they should follow everything the Ancestors of their Heart Family has said prior to when they were transported into the Celestial World and becoming the Heart Noble Household.

On the other hand, Reinhart's words conveyed that they should now stop trying to pursue and abandoned those words passed by their Ancestors and leave it all behind back on Earth. Those words were clearly just spoken because they haven't seen the power of an actual God yet, but now that they have seen it with their very own eyes, even their Ancestors would agree with his words as well. In fact, the question he had asked just now to his father shouldn't even be considered a question that has choices to choose, because the answer was already clear for everyone to see, and that is.....

"You are right, we shouldn't let a 5-year-old kid be responsible for saving us, or the entire Celestial World." Patriarch Red Heart said.

Reinhart can't help heaving a sigh of relief, knowing that he had finally persuaded his extremely stubborn father.

"However, that also doesn't mean that we should just forget and abandoned the words that our Ancestors had left to us." Patriarch Red Heart continued, which immediately caused Reinhart to froze on the spot as he can't believe his father would actually still exchange a 5-year-old kid, no, his own son, just for some dead man's words.

"I guess that I was wrong to believe that there is still a chance to change your mind..." Reinhart said as he lowered his head to looked at his fist clinching out of frustration after failing on his desire to change his younger brother's unfair Fate.

Contrary to Reinhart's thoughts though, Patriarch Red Heart walked in front of him before tapping his shoulder while showing a smile on his face as he said, "So, I will be the one to do it!"

Reinhart's head immediately tilted up as he looked at his father straight to his eyes, "I..."

Patriarch Red Heart shook his head and said, "I'm really lucky to have two sons like you both who really care and love each other. Take the Williams Noble Household as an example, the sons of the dying Patriarch Patrick Williams are basically killing each other right now just to determine who will become the next Patriarch, hahahaha! Still, brother Patrick is really unfortunate... Anyways, please promise me that you will always protect your younger brother while me and your mother will be away for a while, okay?"

"Yes!" Reinhart replied with a big bright smile on his face. Finally, his long desire to protect his younger brother Leo was granted. Now, there is no longer a need for him to worry about Leo walking on his destined Fate to fight against the Gods.

It was really out of Reinhart's expectations at this time that his action today was what lead to his father and mother to die 2 years later.
