It has to be said that almost everyone in the Brandt family is very smart.
Let’s put it this way! If they live in England and study at Hogwarts, they will definitely be Slytherins for generations, without exception.
And because of this, although they have an arrogant and somewhat annoying temperament, they still live a very nourishing life.
Yes, no matter what you do, the word "degree" can often explain many problems. If you can grasp the scale of advance and retreat well, and add some cleverness, then there will be room for change in many things.
Just like now, although Maxim doesn't like the Brandt family, he even plans to take advantage of this opportunity to laugh at each other's jokes. But when a seemingly well-behaved girl greeted him sincerely, it was really difficult to express the teasing and forcefulness that had been in her heart beforehand.
And this is obviously the effect that the Brandt family expected.
"Maxim... Madam? I wonder if Madam can accept the request I just made?"
This girl is not very old, probably about the same age as Charlotte. According to her initial self-introduction, it seems that she just graduated from Durmstrang two years ago.
And because her appearance, figure, and even personality are more youthful, on the surface, she actually looks smaller than Charlotte.
Although...it's unclear whether her timid and hesitant look was just an act.
By the way, counting the time, when Maka temporarily enrolled in Durmstrang, she might have met her a few times.
"Miss Brandt, of course there is nothing wrong with your family asking the Alliance to help with defense, but this is definitely not something I can decide on my own. You also know that the Alliance's combat power is raised from all sides. , this matter must be discussed and decided at a meeting... "
Sitting face to face with her, Maxim had to lower his head slightly before he could look at her face and speak due to the huge height difference between them. However, because the other party rarely raised his head to look at Maxim, to a certain extent, there didn't seem to be any big problem.
It's just... This feeling made Maxim feel like he was talking to a child.
"As for the Blois family," Maxim paused, then continued, "To be honest with you! I think it will be more difficult to ask for help from them. The reason... you should know."
Yes, almost as a matter of course, the Brandt family, like Maxim, is eyeing the powerful help of the Blois family. If we can get the help of the Blois family, not to mention resisting the enemy's invasion, it will be more than enough to at least buy more time to prepare for the move, right
However, almost the entire upper class of the European wizarding world knew that the Brandt family and the Blois family had never been on good terms with each other, and they were in a relationship where each other would stumble secretly. Now it is really unlikely that the former will seek assistance from the latter.
"Yes, I understand." The Miss Brandt in front of her held each other's hands uneasily on her thighs, lowering her head slightly and said, "So, why don't you come to Madam and ask for a matchmaker?"
"But-"
The girl's gentle tone and timid appearance really made Maxim unable to say anything serious. Seeing the girl say this, she could only shake her head and said:
"I can only say that I can ask for you, and it must be after Mr. Blois returns from England. So before that, we can only wait for a while."
"But we can't wait!"
Perhaps because the problem was imminent, or perhaps just to get Mrs. Maxim to agree to help, she finally raised her head suddenly and looked straight here.
"Madam, you know that Denmark cannot withstand the erosion of this disaster. Maybe they won't last long, and the war will spread directly to the northern border of Germany." She said, "In fact, I was originally We wanted to find Mr. McLean, but unfortunately, we couldn't find him at all. So the next best thing was to ask the Blois family for help."
After hearing what the girl said, Maxim wanted to just talk about something else and put this question aside for the time being. But who knew that at this moment, there were several knocks on the door of the side hall. .
"Please wait."
Maxim nodded slightly at the girl, then stood up and walked towards the door - because she had warned others in advance not to come near this place, she had no choice but to open the door for the visitor herself.
However, the visitor didn't seem to be interested in waiting outside the door. Not long after knocking on the door, before Maxim could walk over, the other party pushed the door open.
"Hello, ma'am."
To Maxim's surprise, it was Willie Blois who appeared at the door now, and even the old housekeeper who had just refused the invitation came with him.
"Uh, good morning... Miss Blois, why are you here?"
"Didn't Madam ask someone to invite my housekeeper?" Willy said calmly, "I just heard that Denmark was also attacked by Haierbo?"
To be honest, Maxim would naturally welcome the old housekeeper and Willie to come here. However, compared to the old housekeeper, this young lady from the Blois family was actually more difficult for her to deal with.
After all, Weili doesn't talk much on weekdays, and she's always tinkering with her flowers and plants, and rarely takes the initiative to pay attention to others. Yes, he is the kind of person who behaves strangely and who is not easy to communicate with at first glance.
But Maxim didn't know that compared to the cold girl she used to be when she was a student at Hogwarts, Willy is already much better now!
"Anyway... Miss Blois, please come in and sit down! Mr. Housekeeper is here too." She thought for a moment, then extended her hand to invite her, "It just so happens that the Brandt family is here too. No matter what happens, we can help you." Sit down and talk.”
"good."
Willy nodded, and then, under Maxim's guidance, she nonchalantly went to sit on the sofa by the window and sat down on her own.
"Mr. Butler, please take a seat too!"
Maxim said this again, but saw that the old housekeeper just shook his head, and then stood still beside the sofa where Willy was sitting as usual.
When Maxim saw this, he could only let him go. Seeing Willie sitting on the sofa, she seemed to be looking at Miss Brandt not far away with a little interest, and then she also sat down in the previous seat.
"Then... let's continue from the topic just now!"
