Willie came, inexplicably and suddenly; then Willie left again, quietly and naturally.
It's like she never cared about what other people thought of her.
Seeing that the old housekeeper quickly followed behind Willy, the two left from the door one after another, not even forgetting to close the door behind them. Maxim and Miss Brandt, who were still sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but remain silent for a long time, and then they heard the former finally sigh slightly.
"Yes! You're scared... aren't you?" Mrs. Maxim shook her head lightly and said, "Although I feel ashamed to say it, it is indeed a fact."
Yes, Maxim was certainly scared in the face of this shocking disaster. Especially after watching Maka and Haierbo perform well in such a long confrontation, but still inevitably losing ground, she believed that the majority of people who are fearful today must have accounted for it.
She is actually just one of them.
However, as the principal of Beauxbatons, all her actions are responsible for the teachers and students of the entire school. She established a resistance alliance with Hermione while shouldering a heavy responsibility, and helped Hermione gather as many people as possible when the frontline needed combat power. This was the limit of what she could do.
There is no doubt that no one can blame her for her inaction in the face of the disaster in Denmark.
However, judging from what the Brandt family has done so far, the nature is completely different. Even they have joined the alliance and become a member, and have provided some combat power with other member forces. But relatively speaking, their contribution to curbing this disaster is obviously not enough.
Not only that, they had even secretly incited some members and attracted other forces in an attempt to take advantage of the moment when the alliance's resistance cause was at a low point to prepare themselves for the next disaster.
But now, even if he wanted to lower his head and ask for help, he didn't forget to use his crooked brains and specially sent a young girl to negotiate, hoping to win sympathy and gain an advantage.
With such a style of conduct, it’s no wonder he’s so unpopular.
"Mrs. Maxim?"
While Maxim was feeling deeply ashamed but helpless, the Brandt lady sitting opposite her was obviously also speechless by Willy's unabashed words.
After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but look at Maxim and called out softly again.
"Huh?" Maxim paused for a moment, then lowered his head to look at her and said, "Oh, sorry, I was a little distracted. Miss Brandt, what's wrong?"
"I-"
The other party opened his mouth somewhat hesitantly, but in the end he still lowered his head and shook it slightly.
"No, it's nothing."
Today, she was selected by the head of the family and sent here to find a breakthrough with Madame Maxime. Her task was originally supposed to be for Maxim to lobby the Blois family on her behalf.
Who would have known that someone from the Blois family had just arrived, but it seemed that she had been "taunted" by the other party for a while - Willie definitely didn't mean this, but from her side, what she said just now was simply ridiculous. It's no different from teasing or innuendo.
And the more important thing is that after Weili said a few words, she walked away so neatly! From beginning to end, she wasn't even given a chance to speak.
What to do next? She no longer knew at all.
But no matter what, we can't just return without success, right? If that were the case, once the enemy invaded the northern border of Germany, the head of the family would have to put her into the first batch of "send to death" teams!
No, she doesn't want to die! She is still young!
After thinking about it secretly for a while, Miss Brandt suddenly raised her head again, looking at Madame Maxime opposite with a somewhat pitiful look and said:
"Madam, I thought about it carefully, and I feel that what Miss Blois said just now is indeed correct. In the face of disaster, we are too cowardly, which is why the enemy finally began to expand the 'results' unscrupulously. If we can take the initiative to attack , that might be more effective than passive defense!"
"Therefore," she paused for a moment, then continued, "I decided to do my best to persuade the elders in my family to transfer our combat forces currently being prepared at Camp Granger to Denmark!"
"oh?"
Hearing her sudden words of "high consciousness", Maxim couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't recover for a while.
"This...well, maybe!"
However, after listening to the other party's next words, she finally understood what the girl's purpose was.
The young lady from the Brandt family followed closely and said:
"So... Madam, can you help me contact Miss Granger? Because although some of the coalition forces are indeed sent by our family, they are still nominally managed and dispatched by the coalition. They need to be mobilized They are going to Denmark, and I think it is necessary to go through Miss Granger, and it would definitely be bad to transfer them back privately."
Of course, many forces within the alliance already know about Hermione and the others going to Devon County. And with the intelligence channels of the Brandt family, it is definitely not unclear.
When she mentioned contacting Hermione, it must have been because she saw that there was no hope of asking for help from the Blois family anymore, so she simply wanted to change her target and focus on Hermione and the others.
It's a pity that Hermione and others are now at the Burrow. Even if Maxim wants to contact them, he has to wait for them to provide contact channels first.
Miss Brandt's little idea may not work anymore.
"Yes," Mrs. Maxim shook her head and said calmly, "Of course it is very touching that Miss Brandt can have such an idea. But unfortunately, Miss Granger and the others are currently deep in the enemy's territory. group, it’s difficult for us to contact you.”
After saying this first, she paused slightly, then continued:
"But it doesn't matter - Miss Brandt, if you really want to send someone to Denmark to work with Miss Blois to save the Danish people from misery, I can help you contact Mr. Bill Weasley at Camp Granger. Nowadays, he can also mobilize the coalition forces on behalf of Miss Granger - just like Mr. Percy Weasley back then! And... According to the report documents sent from the Granger camp recently, the coalition forces seem to have almost recovered. Now is the time!”
Miss Brandt did not expect that Mrs. Maxim would get involved when she mentioned this.
But it's no wonder, she is still young after all, and she is actually not good at doing this kind of negotiation. Once she deviated from the script plan set by her family, she immediately showed her timidity.
