Reinhart didn\'t stay any further in the living room as he quickly went to grab Leo\'s hand and pulled him outside. They soon both quickly leave the Heart manor, completely not minding the still heavy rain outside as they went down the hill to stay as far away as possible from their father and Patriarch Vincent Snow, who were both still discussing about Leo\'s arranged marriage with Elizabeth Snow.

At least for Reinhart, staying any nearer to them might just cause him to lose his calm. To be honest, there was actually nothing wrong with what his father was doing right now, since what his doing is just for the sake of Leo. But, at the same time, it also meant that Leo would soon be fighting against the Gods, which was his Fated path. At such a young age, that\'s just so unfair for Leo.

What\'s even more unfair is, why would they even let a 5-year-old kid embarked on a journey for the survival of the entire Human race? No, more precisely, for the survival of the entire Foreign races living in the Celestial World? If that\'s indeed going to be the case, then what\'s the purpose of the adults and those other powerful people around? Aren\'t they ashamed that a 5-year-old kid would be acting as a hero to fight and save them in their stead?

"No, this is all that Red Cube\'s fault! If only it didn\'t choose Leo, then my younger brother\'s life would have just been similar to those of normal kids at his age." Reinhart can\'t help blaming the Red Cube, their Heart Noble Household\'s Heirloom.

The moment Leo was born in the Celestial World, the Red Cube that was always staying inside its container immediately floated above his head and choose him as the holder of its legacy.

It was said that their Heart Noble Household\'s Heirloom was a Magic weapon created by a powerful God of the Celestial World, at least it was what was being passed on by their family at that time. Saying that it will be for fighting against the Gods if ever they turned evil and to save the inhabitants of the Celestial World. As for the reason why it was with them and how did they even got it, it\'s because their so-great ancestor brought it from an antic shop a very, very, very long time ago back when the Human race was still living peacefully on Earth.

It\'s really a big question how an item of the Celestial World was found on Earth, how a story about the Celestial World exists in a different world, and why did the Red Cube even choose Leo in the first place.

"What\'s so great about being a hero anyways? It\'s just similar to being cannon fodder! The only difference is, in their case, it sounded so honorable!" Reinhart whispered silently. Being the holder of the Red Cube was similar to being a hero which is seriously a laughable matter, at least in his opinion, because being a hero for him meant they would be dying for the sake of other people who are all weak and can\'t fight for themselves. It\'s just like what the Mages are always doing for the Human race to survive in the Celestial World, fighting so that the weak people could continue on living.

Leo at the side who heard Reinhart\'s murmured suddenly pulled his older brother\'s hand, which made Reinhart stop on walking and turned to look at him.

"What\'s wrong?" Reinhart can\'t help asking.

"Why do you hate heroes? Aren\'t you also one of them?" Leo asked while staring straight at Reinhart\'s eyes, occasionally closing from time to time due to some raindrops dropping to his eyes.

"Me, one of the heroes? Don\'t make me laugh, I will never be one of those foolish people. If ever a situation really comes where people will beg for a hero to save them, even if I can become one, I will still not choose to save them, but instead, I will only save you, father, and mother." Reinhart shook his head and replied.

"But aren\'t you doing what you said you wouldn\'t do already? Every time you leave and go to the battlefield of the War of Races, you are also saving every Humans." Leo dubiously asked.

"That\'s completely different! I only fight over there for the sake of our family, not for the sake of the entire human race\'s survival." Reinhart said before once again pulling Leo\'s hand and going farther away from the Heart manor.

At this time, the Heart City was still called the Heart town. The size of its territory was appropriate for a town, with a few houses and establishments here and there, and a few civilians living inside those places.

The Silver Kingdom at this point was also still like a small territory located in the middle of three different big forests or specifically called the three Danger zones; the still very big Yellow Forest and Nine River Forest located respectively at the northwest and northeast, and the extremely large Twilight Forest that covered the entire south.

Because of that reason, it didn\'t take that long for Reinhart and Leo to arrive inside the forest, specifically the part of the Nine River Forest.

They then quickly began looking for their secret hideout, a place where they usually hide and play, to take shelter from the heavy rain.

After tens or so of minutes of walking, they finally found the secret hideout. It was just a 15 square meters size small hut, made entirely of wood and stone, with two windows to the side, and a bunch of leaves, roots, and twigs combined together to form the roof of the small hut.

Inside was a double-decker bed made of wood with soft feather mattresses which they have bought from a couple who is a carpenter and a tailor living in their territory for a few copper coins, a wooden table nearby the right window which was obviously made by an inexperienced person, specifically Reinhart, a lamp which they have secretly stolen from their manor located in the middle of the small hut to give light every night, and a wooden drawer with weapons, books, and a few dried foods packed inside a leather bag.

"Let\'s stay over here until father forgets about the thoughts of making you fight against the Gods again." Reinhart said before drying his clothes by the window. They have already done this sort of thing many times, and so they weren\'t feeling worried anymore. At most, their father would only send people to find them when they still don\'t return after 2 days have passed.

Leo nodded his head after hearing his older brother Reinhart\'s words before he walked towards the double-decker bed, specifically the top deck was his bed.

"Is fighting against the Gods really that dangerous older brother?" Leo asked.

"Yes, very dangerous, and it will definitely cause you to die!" Reinhart replied without holding back. Ever since Leo was able to learn how to talk and think, he has already constantly reminded him about the Red Cube and that he should never ever accept the Fate of fighting against the Gods.

"You\'ve mentioned it to me many times already that I will just die if I fight against the Gods, and that it\'s also unfair for me since I should not have been given such a heavy responsibility in the first place. But why do father and mother encourage me?" Leo asked while he lays) down on his mattress.

Reinhart smiled wryly as he walked towards his bed and sat down before he started talking, "It\'s not that father and mother are encouraging you to fight against the Gods. They are just trying to help you in your Fated path. Like for example, you were taught many skills and techniques to fight early on so that you will be able to know how to defend yourself and fight against people who have an evil intention for you. You were also made to read many books about different important stuffs so that you will become smart and wise, hence not become oblivious of many things, especially in this new and unfamiliar Celestial World. And lastly, you are being spoiled and given whatever you want because your days of enjoying as a kid... is a lot shorter compared to the other kids..." He paused to heave a long sigh before continuing, "Just why is my younger brother\'s life like this? It\'s just so unfair... You should have been having fun and enjoying your days right now with other fellow kids at your age instead, not preparing yourself for this very heavy responsibility that the Red Cube has forcefully made you choose..."

Leo slowly moved to the side of the bed to look at his older brother Reinhart below him and right after asked, "Then what was the purpose of giving me a wife at such a young age? Is it perhaps for me to enjoy the life of having a wife earlier than the others since I might not live to experience such a thing?"

Reinhart was immediately stunned, dumbfounded, and speechless at Leo\'s bluntness. This kid\'s imagination is really different compared to the other kids in his age. Even just mentioning his own death sounded like it\'s not a big deal for him at all.

"That little girl who called you a pervert and slapped you in the face was indeed your little girlfriend. Or in simple words, she\'s your fiancée." Reinhart started explaining, "She was born the same time, date, and even location as you, and for that reason being you were both deemed as the perfect couple by both of our families. Aside from that, the Snow Noble Household\'s Heirloom, specifically a Cultivation technique, also mentioned such a requirement to perfect the Cultivation technique, thus they immediately reached a conclusion of arranging a marriage for the both of you."

"Do you know what kind of Cultivation technique exactly it is?" Leo asked, feeling intrigued about it.

"Base on what father had said, it\'s called Full Moon in a Burning Sun. A Dual Cultivation technique of unknown origins that they have stumbled upon when they were still pioneering the Silver Kingdom." Reinhart replied.

"Dual Cultivation technique?"

"It\'s a kind of Cultivation technique where a male and a female that had successfully passed some really strict requirements, the same as you and Elizabeth, will help each other cultivate to become strong."

Leo\'s eyes immediately lit up as he exclaimed, "Then doesn\'t that mean I won\'t be fighting against the Gods alone anymore? Someone will be helping me, so there is no need for you to keep worrying about me, older brother!"

"Hmmm... if only it was that good, then I wouldn\'t be worrying." Reinhart smirked.

"Why?" Leo quickly became curious as to why his older brother Reinhart was still worried.

"Dual Cultivation technique isn\'t as simple as just helping each other to cultivate in order to become a strong Mage. It means you and Elizabeth will become one, meaning the both of you will officially become husband and wife, in order for the Dual Cultivation technique to show its fullest potential. But both of you are still 5 years old, so it\'s absurd and bullshit to think of making you both do that \'thing\'. Hence, this means that the Dual Cultivation technique will only be useful when the right time comes. Until then, it would be useless, which means it can\'t help you fight against the Gods." Reinhart explained while hiding a few stuff that is still inappropriate to the likes of Leo\'s age.

"Ohhh..." Leo nodded his head, seemingly like he completely understood what his older brother Reinhart meant to say, "Then I guess I can only marry her and officially become husband and wife..."

Reinhart almost fell off from his bed the moment he heard Leo\'s reply, "You... just please go and sleep before I slap your face like what your fiancée has done!"

"Oho, then, are you perhaps also interested in being officially husband and wife? But remember, if you want that, even if you are my older brother, I\'ll still choose to be the husband and you will be my wife." Leo said chuckling before quickly turning around and positioning his body comfortably on the bed.

"....." Reinhart was completely rendered speechless by his younger brother\'s words. He can\'t help shaking his head and heaving a sigh of helplessness. He can\'t blame his younger brother for thinking that way, since his mind was still so innocent and pure.

"Just go and sleep..." Reinhart said before laying down on his bed.
