Chapter 49: Benji's Rage

At Atlanea

In the dining room king, Evan and Doris were sitting waiting for Benji to come and join them. Footsteps echoed and Benji arrived and took his seat. No greetings nor he uttered any word.

The dinner passed in awkward silence, three of them finished their meal without speaking a word. As soon as he was done, Benji stood up ready to leave.

"Benji wait," as the dinner was over Benji stood up to leave but his footsteps were halted by his father's voice.

"Is there any news from Silja?" Benji asked straight.

"She has sent a letter," King Evan said.

Benji didn't say anything else and walked back, he extended his hand.

"Seat first," king Evan ordered.

Benji looked at him for a second before he sat down.

"How long are you going to be mad at me?" King Evan finally asked.

The month of silence was killing him.

From the day Benji found out that he had sent Silja to North, Benji wasn't talking to him.

His silence was killing King Evan. It was like he had lost both of his children in one go.

Benji didn't reply and decided to stay silent.

"Give me the letter," he said, extending his hand without paying heed to what his father said.

"Not unless we have a decent conversation," King Evan said firmly.

Benji took a deep breath.

"What is there to talk father?" Benji asked, looking straight at king Evan. There were mixed emotions in his eyes. Accusations, hurt and pain.

"How many times I need to tell you, sending Silja was the only solution I had," King Evan shook his head and a string of tears left his eyes.

"Sending Silja to the North was never a solution but a disaster," Benji stood up and roared.

"Since childhood, you have always taught us that we humans shouldn't have any kind of relationship with any other creatures and we are only safe if we could prevent them coming to Atlanea or moving out," Benji argued.

"Apart from necessity we had never kept any relationship with other Kingdom and you said that was for our good. But suddenly now you are saying that it is good to connect with North by marriage," 

Benji didn't know what he should say to him anymore.

"King Zachary took her away and will never let her come back, father. Never." Benji thumped his hand on the table resulting in crockery rising and then falling with notices.

"That's enough Benjamin," Doris looked at her son. During this whole month, she and Evan have tried all they can do but the boy was stubborn.

"No mother, that's not enough. You guys sent her away. Out of all people, you guys are the ones who were supposed to keep her safe but no, instead you sent her away. How can you do that to your own daughter? You shouldn't have involved her in this mess father, you shouldn't have," Benji said.

His eyes were bloodshot glaring and accusing both his parents.

For Benjamin Silja was his everything along with his parents.

One of few he cared about. 

He has spoiled her since childhood. Everything she needed was there for her before she even asked. 

He gave her everything and protected her from everything only to be ruined at last.

"You don't know anything, son," king Evan spoke in a small voice

"Then tell me, TELL ME," Benji demanded. King Evan looked at him but stayed silent.

"What I know is that even if it was going to be a war then we shouldn't have backed off. You shouldn't have backed off," Benji roared.

"How are you a good kong, if you can't protect your own daughter?" Benji has finally lost his sanity. All the frustration of the last days was rushing out in one go.

"But it's fine I have decided that I won't listen to any of you now and will leave for the North as soon as possible," Benji announced.

"How many times have I…" Doris was speaking but Benji stopped her mid-sentence.

"No mother, no more threats and swears to stop me, because I have waited enough, and I have decided now. I need to fix the mistake you have done," Benji stood straight and said his final decision.

Then he glanced lastly at his parents and left the room.

"Wait, if you want to go we will not stop you. But before that, I think you should hear something first," 

Benji was just about to leave the room when he heard his mother speak.

His footsteps instantly halted.

"What?" Benji turned around and asked.

"The truth," King Evan said.

It was near the time of dawn and the moon was still shining in the sky.

Donovan Jumped off the wall and entered the guest quarters.

The night was cold and silent. 

He slowly moved his feet towards the balcony of the certain room. 

He jumped in effortlessly and by chance, the door of the balcony was open giving him easy entry.

He slowly moved to the door and stood at the doorstep.

Inside the room, a girl was sleeping in the big bed, with all the quilts covering her up only her small face was visible.

The moonlight was falling on her face making her look just perfect. As the Don stood in the doorway his shadow fell on half of her body.

Her big eyes were closed and the small fan of eyelashes was touching her cheeks.

Her perfect bow-shaped lips were slightly parted as she breathed in the rhythm of her chest rising and falling down.

For some reason, Don just stood in the doorway without taking any steps inside the room. 

He didn't even know why he was there, maybe his curiosity was getting the best out of himself.

What will be her reaction if she wakes up now?

Don thought.

He wanted to wake her up and asked what charm she had that she was using on his soldiers.

Something was totally off with her he knew but he couldn't point it out.

If she was not a human Princess and his father wouldn't have confirmed it himself, Don would have thought her to be a witch.

'What charm do you have ?' He slowly murmured looking at her.

A wind blew and a string of hair stuck out and fell on her face.

Don couldn't help but extend his hand to remove it so it didn't hinder him from looking at her beautiful face. He took the lock of red hair in his hand and couldn't help but feel its smooth texture. His hand brushed her face softly as he moved the hair away.

Subconsciously feeling someone's presence in the room, Silja moved in her sleep.

Silja moved in sleep and groaned.

Her leg was hurting and the pain woke her up.

Her eyes slowly fluttered and she rose from the bed. She raised her hand and touched her face and hair.

As the wind blew past her from the open door of the balcony and her eyes moved in the direction of the balcony.

Nothing.

'Why do I feel like someone was here?' Silja murmured in her sleepy voice.

She tried to sit up and felt pain in her legs where she was kicked.

Thinking about the competition, Silja felt like she was going to lose her head again.

After that day the incident with the horse happened she was so afraid of everything.

It was like suddenly she has become destructive to everything around her.

Just mere touch and that horse went rogue and ended up dying.

She didn't know whom she should tell about this. She was afraid that if anyone found out something big would happen.

And for the first time, she found herself so afraid of anything.

So afraid that Silja started to lock herself in with books for a few days.

She was afraid, afraid of being cast out, afraid of being hated by everyone.

Hated by her people, Benjamin, her father and especially her mother.

She didn't want her mother to be more distant from her than she already was.

And that was the reason Silja decided to leave for the north.

No one will ever find that something was wrong with her if she ran away far.

All she wanted was an excuse and to buy more time. More time, so she can figure out what was wrong with her.

Or maybe it was just an excuse to run away.

But that wasn't the sole reason.

She wanted to save Atlanea from war too even if she would have been perfectly fine she would have made the same choice.

Silja leaned her back on the headboard and tears fell from her eyes. She

"Everything will be fine," Silja murmured slowly and chanted it again and again.
