No one knew why he was behaving in such a way except for Donovan.

After all, the man who has nothing left doesn't have any fears to lose.

He has already lost everything he has the night before. And today's outburst was the result of that.

Donovan took away everything he had, what's there to lose. 

"Huh it's better to give up my position than to serve such headless people," the man scoffed.

"You can't say such words, sire Markus. Princess consort is a Princess of Atlanea and among all the women she was the only one with the highest status," minister Mormond came forward. 

"She passed every test and proved herself worthy. Even her family agreed to support our kingdom to fight the witches," another man added.

"What support could they give when they didn't bother to give a penny to their daughter at the wedding," the man scoffed.

And with that everyone broke in chattering again.

"Silence," Donovan's voice rang in the hall, making everyone shut their mouth instantly. Donovan didn't want to blow the matter about this topic. It will only reflect badly on Silja if that happens.

"Who said we didn't give anything to my sister at her wedding?" It was Benjamin who walked forward.

"Ohh really then why can't I see anything?" Sire Markus said.

"Because we humans don't believe in showing off," Benjamin said coolly.

If you want to come to me, get ready to diss.

"Prince Benjamin, I don't think he will believe what you said. Why don't you show him what you give princess Silja," minister Mormond intertwined.

"You are Noisy," when Benjamin saw that minister Mormond was jumping here and there in the conversation without anyone asking him he snapped at the man.

Mormond, who was acting modestly, became dumbfounded and instantly shut his mouth.

"But you are right, I should definitely say it since everyone is so interested in knowing," Benjamin smiled. Then he slowly took out the list and handed it to the maid standing by the side.

"Read it out loud," Benjamin said. aid looked at Donovan for permission and then started to read out the items written inside.

"Five villages on the east shore of the Atlanea," 

"Ten serpent boats,"

"One thousand black christal pearl," 

"Two thousand ivory pearls," 

"Five hundred emerald gemstone," 

And the list kept going. Each and every item mentioned were rarest than the last.

Some of the mentioned pearls were so rare that even getting one of them was hard. On the other hand, Silja has got many of them just like that.

Instead of that Benjamin has also given her some unique cloth, jewellery, shoes and whatnot.

It took the maid quite sometime before she was finally done reading.

Evidently, this was more than what one could wish for as the dowry.

Undoubtedly Silja has become the second most wealthy woman in the north. Of course, first was Abrielle with her business spread across the north.

If not before everyone has started to envy Silja truly.

Atlanea might be smaller and weak in terms of power but they had their fair share of benefits.

The sea in which they flourish provides them with incomparable wealth. Not just in terms of valuable stones and jewels but also some rare crops and herbs.

Which they transport to all four continents.

Overall the result was that everyone in the room was tongue tight to even say anything.

In the end, Benjamin handed the latter to Silja which was sealed with his own seal.

Silja looked at her brother with astonishment.

She didn't know when he prepared so many things. 

She looked at him with gratitude in her eyes. Benjamin walked and hugged her warmly.

"When have I ever let you get embarrassed?" He asked teasingly.

Silja was his most beloved, he won't be able to insure it even if someone talk to her in a raised voice let alone let this many people look down on her.

This was Silja's home from now on and if they didn't respect her enough she wouldn't be able to rule over them happily.

He will do everything that he can to safeguard Silja's position and happiness.

"Thank you brother," Silja said.

She didn't hesitate to take those. After all, it was still scratching the surface of what Atlanea has.

Soon everyone shut their mouth but not the Grand Duke.

"Huh, such a cheap move. So this was the price to purchase the eldest prince," he kept blabbering while his servant tried to take him away but failed.

"Nice nice, a cheap prince and a sl*t. They suit themselves," and the man said something that he shouldn't.

Donovan, who was not paying much attention to him, turned his head.

His eyes darkened with murderous intensity. Donovan walked towards the Grand Duke with his hands turning into claws. How could he take easily when someone has called Silja a sl*t.

"Take him to dungeons," sensing that Donovan was about to kill the man Zivan hurriedly ordered. And Zivan stood in front of Donovan, blocking his way.

"Not now brother," Zivan said. And behind him, the servants dragged the man away.

Donovan also realized that what he was doing was not appropriate for the occasion and their plan so he stopped.

Soon everything calmed down and Silja looked tiredly at Donovan.

The party was finished and Donovan pulled Silja back to their chamber.

"Have some rest," 

"Where are you going?" Silja asked when she saw him leaving immediately.

"I have something to discuss with my father," Donovan replied.

"I will be back soon," he planted a small kiss on her forehead.

"It is about the Grand Duke? Did you plan everything that happened today?" Silja asked, stopping him again.

"Yes I did," Donovan nodded.

"For me? Because of what lady Priscilla did?" She looked at him with her creased brows and uncertain eyes.

Donovan thought for a bit and then shook his head.

"No,"

Silja heaved a sigh of relief hearing that.

She was angry at Priscilla but if this was Donovan's way of taking revenge then it was too cruel.

Treating her family this way would be unfair when all she did was say some nasty words to Silja.

About her relationship with Donovan, Silja understood that Priscilla and Donovan both were adults and if something happened between them then it was mutual. It was another thing how it will affect Silja and Donovan but the whole matter can not be blamed on Priscilla just because Silja was not happy.

"Then why did you do that to him?" Silja asked, still a bit unsure.

Like Zachary, she also understands that Donovan has offended many important people recently and it was affecting the country's politics badly.

"I'm removing all the corrupted people who are responsible for making the north internally weak," Donovan said.

He said and then left without saying much.

Silja looked at his leaving back and sigh.

It was going to be a long night, waiting for him.

On the other hand king, Zachary was pacing back and forth in his study in anger.

Zivan was standing outside keeping close eyes on his father's expressions which were becoming nastier and nastier in anger. 

"Is father inside?" Zivan, who was standing outside of the study door, jumped in fright when he heard a sudden voice behind him.

"B-brother…" Zivan cried out when he saw Donovan standing behind him.

"You scared me to the death," Zivan patted his chest dramatically.

"Why didn't you go in?" Donovan asked, glancing inside. He could see his father's angry face.

"Are you kidding me? Do I look stupid enough to go in dragon's Den to become his food?" Zivan gave a weird metaphor as usual.

"Dragon's don't eat other dragons. And father surely won't prefer to eat you," Donovan said with a straight face.

"What do you mean you won't prefer to eat me?" Zivan glared at his brother but when Donovan gave him a side eye Zivan looked down in fright.

"Let's go in," Donovan said and pulled him aside so he could walk in.

But Zivan pulled him back.

"Are you sure he won't eat us? I mean you are father's favourite but what about me?" Zivan asked with a pitiful face. In reply, Donovan held him by his caller and pulled into the room.

"Father," Donovan said standing behind Zachary.

Zachary turned around swiftly as soon as he heard Donovan's voice.

Zivan who was trying to hide behind Donovan also piped out his head and said in a weak voice, "Father,"

"I want a valid explanation of what you both did today, otherwise be ready for my wrath," were Zachary's straight words.

Zivan hid even more behind Donovan.

"I did everything for Silja's sake," Donovan explained.

Zachary's eyes narrowed further.

"It's another thing that you like your wife but doesn't forget that's not how you rule the kingdom," Zachary yelled and banged his hand loudly on the table.

"I did everything considering the same thing father said," Donovan replied calmly.
