Evander's tone was harsh, causing Amelia and her brother Griffin's expressions to change drastically behind him.
Especially Amelia, whose face was now ashen.
Given Evander's harsh demeanor, even someone with a slight temper would find it unacceptable, let alone a powerful individual like Alexander.
"Dad, you..." Amelia tried to speak again.
Evander suddenly turned his head, his eyes reddening as he looked at Amelia and said, "The curse mark is acting up! Your mother fainted twice today! Do you understand the dire consequences for Silverwind City if he enters the altar without the divine dragon bloodline?"
"In our generation, only fifty-six pure-blooded individuals remain in Silverwind City!"
"After this year, only twenty-eight will remain... I cannot let any more of our people be ensnared by the curse mark! I cannot let Silverwind City, which has lasted for 2,200 years, be destroyed on my watch! So I must be cautious, do you understand?"
