In fact, the old housekeeper was not very clear about why Willy, who had clearly said before that he did not like the Brandt family, chose to come to the side hall after he briefly talked about the attack in Denmark. .
But he knew very well that as long as Willy didn't want to talk, there was no point in asking.
So...yeah, since Willy was going, all he had to do was follow. Anyway, even if Mr. Blois is here, he will definitely follow Willie's opinion. Of course, the old housekeeper understands this very well.
Therefore, when the two went to the wing on the first floor of Beauxbatons Castle, not only was Madam Maxime confused, but in fact, even the old housekeeper didn't know any more than she did.
Of course, this obviously did not prevent them from continuing the conversation.
"Miss Brandt," Maxim said with a slight gesture, "this is the heir to the Blois family, the only daughter of the Blois family - Miss Willie Blois. And... well, this person behind her As an old gentleman, I guess he doesn’t need any extra introduction from me."
Since Willie had basically never shown her face to outsiders since she was a child, other families knew that the head of the Blois family had a rich daughter, but most of them had never seen her with their own eyes.
However, this is clearly a thing of the past.
In recent years, due to Maca's activity and Mr. Blois's several personal expeditions, some of Willy's movements have already been included in the scope of intelligence collection by various forces. Just like this time she was temporarily staying in Beauxbatons, many pairs of eyes had already focused on her whereabouts.
"Of course," when the timid Miss Brandt heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Willy and the old housekeeper, and then said softly, "Of course I recognize Mr. Housekeeper of Blois - after the age of fourteen. My father has allowed me to attend several important balls and celebrations, and I have met Mr. Housekeeper from a distance. But... Miss Blois, good morning! This should be our... first meeting, right? "
"Well?"
When Miss Brandt was speaking, Willie seemed to be just looking at her and thinking about things, and not listening too carefully.
"Oh, is it so?"
Weili is really not sure whether she has met him or not, because she has never paid much attention to others. Compared to people, plants were obviously more interesting to her.
But when others take the initiative to talk to her, she will still take it seriously - this is one of the few teachings from her mother when she was a child.
"Good morning, nice to meet you."
Willie answered politely, although when she responded like this, there was not even a trace of "happiness" on her delicate face.
After she finished speaking, Willy continued:
"Miss Brandt, regarding Denmark, do you know what your family plans to do next?"
It must be said that the other three people present were actually a little confused by her somewhat abrupt question. Including the old housekeeper, no one understood what she wanted to know.
Are you asking about the Brandt family's defense plan in the face of the coming disaster? Or is it actually to test whether the Brandt family will choose to run away
Or... she was actually teasing the Brandt family for sending a girl not much older than her to ask for help
It is precisely because we don't know much about Willy that we can't be sure how far she has gone in her mind. And this is often the cause of confusion in a purposeful negotiation.
"I...our family just wants to ask the Resistance Alliance and your family to lend us a helping hand during this time of crisis." Miss Brandt pursed her lips, and after hesitating for a moment, she said slowly , "As for the rest... it should just be some preventive preparations within our capabilities."
However, when Willy heard what she said, she couldn't help but tilt her head. That expression actually made him look more confused than she was.
"Your family wants our help? Why?" Surprise gradually appeared on her face. "Isn't it Denmark that is experiencing disaster now? Shouldn't we help them as much as possible first?"
These questions from Willy can be said to penetrate deep into the soul.
In fact, Willy's idea couldn't be simpler - wherever there is a disaster, help is needed; wherever the enemy attacks, resistance will be there.
Isn’t this the principle that the Resistance Alliance should uphold the most? Otherwise, what exactly is this group that has summoned so many forces "resisting"
There was no doubt that Hermione had the right intentions when she created this alliance. Even though many things are still beyond her power, so that her approach may be frustrated in the face of cruel reality, no one can say that she is wrong.
However, just because Hermione was right, it didn't mean that everyone else was also right.
Maxim's vision is actually not short-sighted, but her focus is always on the safety of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is destined to make her unable to look at the entire disaster selflessly.
Similarly, the old housekeeper of Blois must have always focused on the head of the house, the lady and the family. The resistance alliance is at best a tool for him.
Apart from the two of them, not to mention the other members of the alliance. Just like the Brandt family, the vast majority of them only care about sweeping the snow in front of their doors.
Too large a gap in combat power will make people choose to give up. There are countless examples in the history of how they both flew away when disaster struck.
Now that the Danish disaster has broken out, Hermione, the most active and selfless leader in the alliance's resistance, is temporarily absent. Almost everyone else has chosen to take a step back.
Yes, in the face of the Danish incident, taking a step back will definitely create more room for resistance. But what happens when disaster spreads further from Denmark? Can everyone really prepare enough power to resist each other
This war is not about sitting on both sides of the chessboard and playing wizard chess. Even if you are at a comprehensive disadvantage, it is impossible to surrender and start over. If you don't work hard, the result will be an even more ugly death.
It's a pity that there are many people who understand this, but not many people can actually risk their lives.
Looking at Miss Brandt who was sitting there in a daze, Willie waited for a short while, but finally blinked her eyes and said in a daze:
"Oh... are you afraid? Well, it doesn't matter, our Blois family is not afraid!"
After saying that, she stood up decisively, waved to the old housekeeper beside her and said:
"Let's go! We have to inform father! Also, aren't there many people from our family over at Granger camp? There are Hermione and the others over in England, so... we should be transferred to Denmark now."
