Before the sunset, Leo and his group has finally arrived outside of Heart City.

In front of them, a seemingly endless wall made out of large wood was currently protecting the entirety of the Heart city from any dangers lay in sight. A wooden Gate was also built in the center of this seemingly endless wall, where a few of people walking in and out could be seen.

This was the Heart city, Leo's ruled land. The Heart city wasn't really a city, yet. In fact, its size was just close to becoming a city. Heart city was more like a large sized town.

Looking above the sky, everyone could clearly see the form of the city, which was a city surrounding a foot of an entire large mountain. And on top of that mountain was a huge manor, which was the Heart's family house. Though it was just a large town, the Heart city contains complete facility to allow it to achieve self-sufficient.

Heart city was actually called a city in advance because of the huge contribution made by his parents and brother in the battlefield of the war of races.

Leo's parents had established this territory with the main purpose and hope that one day the place would become a real city, henceforth becoming one of Humans shelter in this world from any danger.

Unlike majority of the Nobles from the Humans, his parents really longed for protecting the Humans.

The name Heart City, aside from their family name, was actually also because his parents had wished of a day that the territory would become a place akin to a paradise that would allowed its people to calm their hearts the moment they enter the place.

When Leo was young, he had always heard of his parents, and even his brother, repeating about such dream. Even he was intrigue by such idea at that time.

Thinking back then, Leo can't help but to let out a mocking laugh for himself.

'What a laughable dream!' Leo thought deep in his heart.

In this world, such kind of dream cannot be achieved without any strength. And it was exactly strength that his family were lacking about, so they died in the battlefield, not being able to fulfill the dream they were always talking about. Even at this present time, Leo was still incapable of fulfilling his family's dream.

Arriving in front of the large wooden gate, Leo could already see 4 soldiers roaming around both sides of the wall, patrolling the walls to see whether their were any dangers from Magical Beast or trouble caused by Humans inside the city.

This large wooden gate was called the South gate. It's a gate made of wood which was a seven meter tall and three meter thick, and has a three meter thick five meter tall wooden wall on both sides, seeming endlessly surrounding the entire city.

This South gate was just one of the four gates of the Heart city. With the mountain in the center, the other three gates were respectively located at the north, west, and east, of the city, each of the gates serving its different purpose.

The South gate which leads towards the wilderness, the one he had been before; the North gate which lead towards the Silver city, the main city of the Silver Kingdom, which the Heart city belongs to; the West gate which lead towards the neighboring city called Black Smoke city; and lastly the East gate that lead towards the city near the ocean, Blue Coral City.

The soldiers on the wall quickly noticed Leo and his group's arrival as soon as they reached nearby the gate.

”Open the gate!” One of the soldiers quickly ordered his comrade down the wall. Soon after, the gate was slowly opening.

As soon as Leo got inside the city, he immediately felt at peace. Such feelings were just imaginary though. Inside or outside of a city would always be deemed unsafe. It just depended on how a person overlooked their current situation to make them feel such kind of emotion.

”Welcome back, Young Master!” The four soldiers that guarded the gate quickly greeted Leo.
