If it is all about bloodline then he will erase every bloodline that is higher than his from the face of this earth. Just like how he did in the house of witches.
Kruel greeted his teeth and the glass that he was holding in his hand shattered into pieces.
Then a slow smile returned on his face as his mind started to plan some vicious things.

Back to the tower.
Benjamin had his eyes widened in shock when he heard all that happened during this period.
Magical powers?
It was already a big shock when his father told him that Silja was not their real daughter and she was given to them.
But even they didn't know that their normal looking daughter was not normal at all.
She was powerful and by what he understood from Silja, her powers were not simple.
It was confirmed that she was not human.
But then who was she? Who are her true parents? And why are dragons interested in her so much?
"Did you say that Prince Donovan and King Zachary already knew about this from the start?" Benjamin asked.
Silja nodded her head.
The more he thought the more he found that to be the reason.
Otherwise, why would the dragon king take Interest in a normal human girl whose kingdom does not have much power?
Everything was because of Silja's powers.
There was more to Silja's true identity and it looks like dragons have already figured that out.
And somehow her powers are of their use.
"That must be it then," Benjamin clenched his fist. They wanted Silja to marry the prince just because of her powers and special identity.
"What is it?" When Silja noticed Benjamin's expressions she asked.
"Now I understand everything, why they suddenly took Interest in you. Why is the prince ready to offend everyone just to marry you," Benjamin was angry beyond words.
"Why?" Silja furrowed her eyebrows.
"Because of your powers," Benjamin realized the whole game. "I was wondering why prince Donovan gave you the same position as him and he was even ready to discard his right on the throne. For a second, I thought maybe he has really taken a liking to you but no that's not the case here," Benji shook his head. His face was twitching from pure rage.
Silja looked at him in puzzlement, but she could guess what his brother was thinking.
"It's not like he will lose his throne if he marries you but he will only be able to keep the throne by using you," Benjamin pursed his lips as pure hatred burned in his chest.
"That can't be true brother, even though I might be a little powerful for some reason, how much difference can I make?" Silja argued.
She has thought about it too, but when she put more thought she realized that she was putting very much importance on herself.
No matter how she looked at it, there was simply no way that she could help to do much. At the most, she could just increase the number in their army with a bit of power.
But they don't have to make their prince marry her for that.
They would take a straight approach and ask her directly instead of going to the length of forcing Atlanea to send her for the bridal ceremony.
"Huh, you won't believe me right now because that pretty face of a boy has enchanted you, Silja. But mark my words, there is definitely no simple reason behind all this drama," Benjamin was certain of his theory.
Silja was speechless.
Pretty face of a boy? Cough.. .that can be the case though.
"Why don't we ask them and confirm it?" Silja proposed. Why play this guessing game when they could just clarify it in a few words.
"That I'll definitely do," Benjamin nodded. That vicious man has deceived his sister, he will never let him go.
"What is the matter with King Azazel?" Silja suddenly recalled that man whom she had just met today. Even though he looked very sweet and not like some monster, his work was not lesser than that one.
"He arrived abruptly, even dragons didn't know about it. They were caught off guard and had to welcome him since they can't fight him," Benjamin replied. The mention of Kruel distracted his mind a bit from Donovan.
Benjamin was waiting for her news in the morning. He knew that there was a celebration going on but he had no intention of going there. But suddenly one of his men informed him of the sudden arrival of Kruel. It was big news and thus Benjamin went to see what was actually going on.
"What do you think can be his motive to come here?" Silja looked at him.
"I don't know. But a man like him won't do anything well," Benjamin pursed his lips.
He had never interacted with Kruel, so he didn't have many ideas about how he operated. But he knew that Kruel had one goal and it was to rule over all four continents. And he could go to any length to achieve his goals.
As he thought about Kruel, something suddenly clicked in Benji's head. "Listen to me carefully," he held Silja and looked her in the eyes.
"Stay away from that man as much as you can. No matter what you won't even appear in front of Kruel. Did you hear me?"
Benjamin said with utmost seriousness. Silja furrowed her forehead at the sudden change of attitude. Till now he was against Donovan but now he even for ad her to come in front of Kruel. But Silja could understand his worries.
Silja nodded her head.
"If you see him coming in your way, change the route, but do not come in front of him or talk to him," Benji was scared as he recalled that Silja was not just Princess of Atlanea anymore. Her unimaginable powers were pointing towards something very big. And the more people know about her the more they will be attracted towards her just like Dragon did.
It wasn't safe for her anymore. Benjamin couldn't help but feel his heart trembling, his sister will never be the same now and he has to do everything in his control to save her.
"Don't tell anyone about your powers too, and if possible try to hide them," Benjamin held her hand, his voice having a bit of fear in them.
"They will tear you apart for your power, I don't want you to get entangled in this war," Benjamin shook his head. His forehead was perspiring profusely.
Silja always knew that she had to hide whatever was happening with her, the more she thought about it the more she became afraid.
"Kruel is definitely up to no good, dragons have always been the target of Witches, and by entangling with them you will also become the target of their wreath, promise me Silja you will not tell anyone about this from now on," Benji urged her.
Silks opened her mouth to say something but her words stuck in her mouth. "No wait, we shouldn't stay here. How about I send you back first. I will annul this marriage on your behalf and we can go back to our home," Benji abruptly stood up.
All the information that was running through his head was making him go crazy.
He had always thought that Silja was not a normal girl. She was always smarter than her age.
And when he found out that she was not his sister he had received the biggest shock, but the possibility of her being something more than that never entered his mind.
But now that he knew everything, he was constantly getting the feeling that the secrets of his little sister were not that simple.
The more they will dig deep into her past the more troubles they will invite.
What if she found out that she was not his real sister?
What will she think of him and their parents?
Will she leave them?
What if this dragon used her as a tool or scapegoat for their own benefit?
No, he wouldn't let anything happen to her.
And everything of this can be stopped as long as he takes her away from here.
Benjamin made up his mind.
"What are you saying brother," but before Benji could make more plans Silja stopped him.
"We just announced my marriage with prince Donovan, we can't go back on our words now," Silja shook her head. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with the thought of leaving everything. And she herself didn't realize the change of her own heart.
