I think I saw this covered in the rules, but I'm not sure. If I remember
correctly (and this is how I've always run it): if you Invest a Bloodline
that's higher than your own, that becomes your new BL (I.E. in your 1st
example, Scion A would become Anduiras, major, 30.) If you Invest a lower
BL, your Derivation et al stays the same, and you get +1 BL point (only).
So, in your 2nd example, Scion C would become Anduiras, major, 26. They are
*certainly* not added together.

major,
