"Emily? Erich? This... why are you here?"
Maxim was naturally no stranger to these two students who were both from Beauxbatons, not to mention that they had just met each other some time ago.
It's just that she doesn't understand that although Erich is also a member of the Brandt family, judging from his relationship with the family, he should be the least likely person to appear here at this time, right
"Emily... don't tell me that you are here to represent the Brandt family! What happened?" Mrs. Maxim only paused for a moment, and then couldn't help but continue to ask.
"Oh! In fact, we don't know very well ourselves." Ms. DeQuin shook her head and looked specifically at Willie in front of her. "No, maybe it is because many things are unclear that we decided to I came here to meet you all... Erich, you think so?"
At the end of the sentence, she turned her eyes to the man next to her again, and motioned for him to say a few words - given the current situation in Germany, it would not be easy for them to make this trip.
"Yes," Erich nodded slightly, "Mrs. Maxim, Miss Blois, the truth is this... You may all know that I have been working with Emily at the Belgian Ministry of Magic during this time. Together. After the last incident, I no longer want to go back to that 'home'... But this time, because of the help of your family, Belgium is relatively stable, so much so that I thought Emily and I were short. There may be no need to go out and face danger in a while. But who knows... "
At this point, he paused for a moment, then shrugged and said:
"My uncle was sent by my family to break into the Ministry of Magic in Belgium to look for me. His words were full of use - I could see that they wanted to take advantage of Emily and his wife's relationship with Miss Granger. , in order to successfully complete this cooperation between the Blois family and the Brandt family."
As Erich spoke, there was a trace of exhaustion that could not be concealed on his face. After all, anyone would be tired of dealing with such a home.
Opposite him, Madame Maxime also accurately captured the changes in his expression.
"You can't refuse?" Maxim nodded with some understanding, "It doesn't matter, after all, it is still family to you there. Well, in fact, if you are the one to communicate with us, it will be better for Blois and me. It will be more convenient for the lady, there is nothing wrong with that... "
"No," Erici waved his hand immediately after hearing this, "I have already sent my uncle back."
When Maxim heard this, he was immediately confused.
"That-"
"It's one thing for the Brandt family to suffer disasters? But it's another thing for the whole of Germany to gradually turn into hell... I grew up here after all, and I can't just watch her become like England. So... Emily and I came over anyway—on our own terms."
Saying that? He nodded towards Willy and said:
"I believe Miss Blois proposed to cooperate with the Brandt family for the sake of the vast majority of ordinary people in Germany, right?"
"It's not 'cooperation'? It's 'aid'." Seeing that Willy didn't speak, the old housekeeper standing beside her suddenly reminded her.
"I see. No wonder my father specifically asked Klaus to find me? And he always avoids the important and trivial in his words." Erich immediately understood? "This means... the Brandt family is really in trouble?" "
"Yes." Maxim pointed to the north and said, "The defense line has collapsed again and again, and the Fire Dragon Legion's losses have intensified? It is almost impossible to defend it completely!"
Seeing that some of his previous conjectures had been confirmed, Erich suddenly realized that he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
"Thank you Miss Blois for disregarding past grudges and coming to Germany to lend a helping hand? I... I'm sorry? I can only represent myself and Emily now, thank you for your help."
At this moment, Weili, who had been silent until now, finally nodded and said simply:
"You're welcome."
If she says no thank you, does that really mean no thank you? Because she never wants anyone's gratitude for anything she does. It was just her friends who were doing that, so she felt that maybe she should do that too.
Really? She didn't even think too much about the so-called "safety of civilians". All right and wrong had nothing to do with her choice.
Because of this? At this moment, Willy actually didn't care much about the personal thoughts of Erich and Emily.
"So, I can think that you two are planning to contact me on behalf of the Brandt family, right? Let's talk about other things later!" Soon, Willie calmly urged, "My housekeeper has sent someone We went to investigate the evacuation of the people. What we want to talk about now is the current situation on the battlefield... and the corresponding battle plan. Do you two have any information or suggestions?"
"Miss Blois, they... probably haven't gotten any information from the Brandt family yet, so I'm afraid they can't give any answer to your question yet."
After all, Madame Maxime was an acquaintance with the two of them. Now she realized that Willy seemed to have no interest in their personal affairs, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to help them reconcile.
"Oh," Willy blinked and said indifferently, "Then let's continue the topic."
Talking about the matter, the most important thing now is to rush to the front line of the second battlefield, not the personal affairs of the two of them. So although Willy's behavior at this time seems a little unhuman, it is absolutely correct - there is no time to talk about the grievances between Erich and his family at this moment.
"It is said that I was a Slytherin when I was in Hogwarts? It seems that the Sorting Hat rarely makes mistakes... Well, let's not mention guys like Snotlout for now, Slytherins can still produce talents!"
Although Sirius on the side did not speak, he saw all this with his eyes, and even appreciated Willy's performance at this time.
It is obvious that this girl is not only a successor who has the ability to mobilize a large family, but also a capable person who can see the overall situation in her eyes and understand what should be done when.
"It seems that Remus and Bill can cooperate with her with confidence... Even if the Blois family has to change to a new owner, no one needs to worry." Sirius thought secretly in his heart.
About ten minutes passed, watching Willy, the old housekeeper and Madam Maxime chatting in detail again. When the rescue operation finally had a rough outline, Sirius found a gap and said:
"Miss Blois, President Maxim, I think it's time for me to leave—"
