Chapter 352: Leo’s sealed memories part 7 (1/2)

Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce

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?”
