From all the celestial families' descendants that reside within Mariejois, there is only a single family who does not follow one tradition within the Holy Land.
The tradition to kill 'those' lowly creatures whenever they would cross a pat...
Helen wasted no time disappearing while the ex-tenryuubito spaced out for a second.
I should hurry back to the family estate. Maybe tou-san's already there. The girl thought.
The beige haired female ran back to their family's mansion. Nearly arriving, she made a sharp turn at the back of their house to get her suitcase which was lying in the same place where the said object landed before she went off to the main courtyard of Mariejois not long ago. Upon arriving at the mansion's main entrance, it was only that time where she found out that the door was locked when she tried to turn the doorknob open.
Shimata, where should I go now? She sassed at her current predicament.
Until an idea popped out in which it guided her on what to do next.
Why did I not think about that earlier?
The ten year old female briskly walked her way towards the port.

Saint Alexander rushed back to their family's mansion after he had realized that his youngest child was not with them.
Where did that silly daughter of mine go? He rhetorically asked himself.
Both father and daughter met at the main road of the Holy Land. The father saw his child first whilst the child faced her father in turn, in which silent relief washed over her figure.
"Helen, there you are! I've been looking for you."
His father sighed, took Helen's small hands in his own and guided her to the port, where their family's ship was waiting.
The little girl complied for she was already tired from running away earlier. The two of them arrived at the port and boarded the ship without wasting a moment's notice.
Her mother, St. Athena was the first one to receive the two of them in the ship. She brought her daughter to a bedroom and whereas her brother, St. Axel ruffles the girl's head causing it to become messy.
"Where in the worlds did you went off on your own, Helen?" the mother worriedly asked her child.
The daughter didn't say much and only told her a part of the reason. "I helped out someone who was in danger."
"Well then, at least you're not injured. I guess."
Worrisome as the mother was she could not help but do so.
The eldest child had taken notice of his sister's right arm which was covered in dried blood.
I guess its half truth and half lie? The brother thought.
St. Axel was going to ask his only sibling about the dried blood on her arm, but his father called for his presence before he could do so.
"Axel, could you help me out here for awhile?"
Maybe now's not the right time.He mused.
"Coming tou-san!" he yelled in reply.
The ten year old beige haired girl asked her mother. "Ne, kaa-san. Where are we going now? Since we're not going to be celestial beings anymore."
St. Athena replied to her question with tenderness as she held both hands of her daughter. "Helen, we're going back to our ancestors' homeland."
"Do you regret that you're not a tenryuubito anymore?"
The mother directly looked at the girl's eyes.
Helen shook her head twice as an answer. "Iie, okaa-san. I'm not regretting that we renounced our ranks as tenryuubitos. Not ever."
At least I get to see the world for real. A world where I can see, touch and experience things that the Holy Land cannot offer. The girl thought.
The mother smiled at her daughter's response.
Once both father and son finished adjusting the sails and steering the ship's stern in course, stepped into the youngest child's bedroom to officially announce the ship's sail.
"At least it's good that the officials agreed for us to leave Mariejois."
The mother sighed in exhaustion as if an undertone can be felt from what she just said.
It was the mother who processed the family's renouncement of their status and their permanent leave from such privileged society.
Though it's only the Gorosei who have agreed. She silently adds.
The head of the family faced the rest of the family members and said, "Since its only us four, we need to work together in helping the ship sail on its right course."
After the announcement coming from the family head, the couple went to a nearby wooden table to discuss further plans for their family.
Axel scooted close enough to his sister for her to hear him clear enough and said, "Let's go outside, we need to talk. Privately."
Helen nodded as a response and followed her brother outside the room.

The eldest son brought his sister to the ship's deck and faced his sister saying, "What happened to your right arm? Don't even try to lie to me."
He looked sternly at Helen.
His sister heavily sighed and said. "A bullet grazed my arm while I helped Donquixote-san escape from the tenryuubito representatives' clutches."
When the ten year old girl mentioned the most wanted name in Mariejois, his eyes grew wide like the saucers.
