The tribal villagers were nothing but friendly and nice whilst keeping Eugene and every one company. It remained that way even until they left. They were begged to stay for longer and were also shoved whatever valuables the tribal people were able to save from the fire. All of the tribal men cried as they bid Eugene and everyone farewell.

Aernest sighed in the carriage, "They are good people." He was in tears when the tribal people bid them goodbye.

Moniqua smiled, "Yes. They are."

Aernest was silent for a while before he stared at Moniqua with a serious face, "Mother."

"Yes, honey?"

"When I grow up, I want to help people like them. I want everyone to live happily." There was something inside him that felt the need to protect these people. Visiting them today had inspired and ignited the fire in him he never thought he had.

Though his statement was big, especially for a three-year-old child, no one laughed and took him seriously. Everyone knew Aernest was serious because they knew how obsessed Aernest was with being beautiful and keeping himself clean like Eugene. He never liked getting calluses and also didn't like getting near swords, however, his words just now meant that he will do whatever he can to become stronger. Even if the results were getting hands full of calluses like Eugene, Louis, and Ramon.

Moniqua eyes widened at Aernest words however she calmed down and replied to him in an even more serious tone,

"There are many ways to help people and there are also many ways to bring happiness to their lives." Her meaning was that Aernest didn't have to sacrifice anything he didn't want to, for example, his obsession with cleanliness. He could find another method that will protect people and also bring happiness to them.

Aernest hesitated for a bit and nodded. Moniqua's words reminded him of what Eugene would tell him from time to time.

'Your ears are your biggest asset. Use them wisely.' He had never thought much of Eugene's words and always thought that she meant for him to use his ears to listen to other people's conversations. However, her meanings suddenly changed when with Moniqua's wise words just now.

Suddenly another fire ignited in him. 'Maybe... Maybe I can help a lot of people with my ears...' He reached for his ears as something in his core shook. He had always been self-conscious about his scarred ears, but now he believes he has a future in which he can live openly with them.

Aernest turned to his dearest sister and gave her a big grin, To our future!'

"....." Eugene blinked... She did not understand this curly-haired boy.

They headed to the capital city, back to where they had relocated to yesterday. The accommodation wasn't fancy because it was the only accommodation left that wasn't affected by the fire. But they didn't mind so long as it was clean.

But just before they reached their accommodation, the carriage suddenly stopped.

The coachman spoke from outside, "My apologies Great Duke, Great Duchess. There are two carriages up front that is blocking the entrance."
