It didn't matter which room Fanny would rest in. The highlight of the day is the period after lunch.
Beauxbatons' banquets are exquisite and wonderful, with various dishes emerging one after another, and each dish is fragrant and extremely tempting. These delicacies, which are full of color, flavor and flavor, coupled with being in this luxurious and luxurious palace, are really a rare enjoyment.
It's a pity that most of the guests' attention was not focused on tasting.
Maka and Fanny sat together at the corner of the long table, listening to some of the conversations around them while nonchalantly putting forks in their mouths frequently. Even though he pretended to be quite reserved on the surface, with his back straight and his posture calm, in fact he didn't eat less at all.
In fact, some people were paying attention to him, but in order not to make it too obvious, most of the wizards who glanced at him quickly stopped and would not let their eyes stay on him for too long. In the end, only two people really noticed that he was chewing.
Naturally, the stewardess sat beside him and ate silently. Fanny came with him on this trip, but Mr. Blois didn't tell her too much about what she needed to do. Her mission this time is very simple. In most cases, just staying next to Maka is enough.
She is a signboard of the Blois family. If she puts it up there for all the other forces present to see, then most of her mission will be accomplished.
As for the remaining half? Of course, he always pays attention to Maka's words and actions. If there was anything that required her to say something or do something, she had to respond promptly and cooperate with Maka to make everything as perfect as possible.
Therefore, she had to keep an eye on Maka at all times, even during meals.
Yep! Besides the housekeeper Fanny, there was another person who was also staring at Maka. However, that line of sight was so obvious that many people discovered it one after another.
"Mr. MacLean—"
Fanny noticed that Maka was only focused on stuffing food into her mouth and seemed oblivious to that gaze. She hesitated for a moment, and finally called Maka.
The sinister look in that line of sight was quite straightforward, making it difficult for her to turn a blind eye.
But Maka waved her hand casually, interrupting what Fanny was about to say. Of course, he had already discovered that he had no impression of the owner of that line of sight, but he had a vague impression of the other person sitting next to him.
If he remembered correctly, the young wizard should be named Ty Fowler, and he once had a rather dishonest glove-throwing duel with him.
Judging from the relationship between the two people, they are probably a family, maybe a father and son. However, he was not sure whether he was his biological child or not.
Why do you say that? Because the middle-aged male wizard was so fat, he almost occupied the space of two people, so this long table lost one seat for nothing.
"Don't worry about that person, you can just eat in peace." Maka said softly to Fanny.
Perhaps it was because that young master Taylor had disgraced himself at Beauxbatons, and this time he wanted to find a way to take revenge. But no matter what the two guys, one big and one small, were thinking about, Maka didn't intend to pay attention to it.
In other words, at least there is no need to care about it right now. After a while, lunch time comes to an end, and the first excitement of this trip will definitely begin. By then, there will definitely be a lot of waves here.
The most important thing is to be unobtrusive at the moment before the storm comes, because then you can try to avoid becoming the target of public criticism.
At present, the intentions of the major forces are not yet clear. When the purpose is not clear enough, whoever is exposed to the public first will be more likely to become the first target.
It can be said that before the situation gradually becomes clear, all forces are very sensitive.
Seeing that Maka didn't care about the man's glare, Fanny had no choice but to follow his advice, draw her attention back, and return to the meal.
In fact, she was actually a little dissatisfied.
Judging from the Blois family's philosophy, if someone dares to be so rude to her, it is equivalent to looking down on the family behind her. The head of the family has long said that although the Blois family needs to keep a low profile, it does not mean they have to swallow their anger. When it comes to strength and foundation, the Blois family is worthy of anyone.
When Willy's father went directly across the country to find Voldemort, and even beat him up, he didn't look like he was asking for help. From this point, it can be seen that the current style of conduct of the Blois family is obviously the work of Mr. Blois.
However, although Fanny felt a little uncomfortable, it was Maka who made the decision now, so she just let it go.
After that, after Maka puffed out her cheeks and chewed for a while, this sumptuous lunch with everyone's own thoughts was finally coming to an end.
When the last wizard put down his fork, Madam Maxime, as the principal of Beauxbatons, stood up first.
"Dear guests, I hope you have fully enjoyed the lunch carefully prepared by our school." She used a sound amplification spell and then said loudly, "I will not say those pretentious words. First of all, please allow me Let me introduce this to you—"
Madame Maxime said, reaching out to the wizard on the seat next to her to signal.
"I believe everyone has guessed that this is the old butler of the Flamel family - Mr. Edward Flamel." She said, "As you all know, Mr. Nick Flamel, the contemporary master of alchemy, did not like to have too many relationships with others during his lifetime. He prefers to immerse himself in his magic research all day long. The person who takes care of his daily schedule and follows him around is this hard-working old butler, Edward Flamel."
When Mrs. Maxim mentioned herself, old Edward, whom Maca had met once before, also stood up and gave a slight salute to all the wizards present.
Not to mention that many wizards are opposed to giant hybrids! Old Edward was considered a tall man in theory, but under Madame Maxime, he looked like a child.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Maxim has always been secretive about her ancestry, always just saying that she has a "larger frame."
Regarding the old butler Edward, many wizards present seemed relatively indifferent, and the audience was indifferent. It's not that old Edward is unimportant, on the contrary, he is obviously in a very important position in this incident.
The reason why the major forces ignored him was actually because they had already tried to contact each other before today. It is natural to think about it. Since he is the only witness to the disclosure of the inheritance, he is equivalent to the temporary owner who controls all the inheritance. All forces who want to get a piece of the pie will choose him as the first breakthrough point.
If he could be captured directly, would it be necessary to come here and wait for the opportunity with such a large group of people
However, this old Edward is not generally smart. He has already lived in Beauxbatons. And no matter which country it is in, magic schools are always a good refuge. After all, except for some inherited families with rich heritage, which children do not need to study
Wizarding schools like Beauxbatons and Hogwarts, which are the leading wizarding schools in the world, are not easily provoked by ordinary forces.
Don't look at Voldemort's vigorous efforts in the British wizarding world. Just think about it carefully and you will understand. How many Dark Lords have appeared in history
In the vast silence in the auditorium, Old Edward didn't pay any attention to it. After giving a salute, he completed the mission of appearing and quickly sat down again.
In order to lighten the atmosphere somewhat, Madame Maxime immediately shifted everyone's attention to the seat on the other side of her.
"... I believe everyone knows this," she said with a smile, "our current president of the International Federation of Wizards, Mr. Babajide Akinbad."
Following Mrs. Maxim's introduction, Maka also set her sights on the dark-skinned, skinny old wizard. Of course, he had met this man once before, and it was this old wizard who presided over the awarding of the Order of Merlin.
After Dumbledore's death, he was elected as the new president of the International Confederation of Wizards.
Maka still remembered that he and Dumbledore had always had a good relationship, and she didn't know if Dumbledore still had a share of credit in this succession process.
This time the reaction of various forces will be greater than before. After all, he is also the president of the International Federation of Wizards. Regardless of whether his election to office is related to certain families, at least any family needs to have a good relationship with him.
Mr. Ajinbad is actually quite young, and with his lean body and bones, he looks like a mummy wearing an exquisite wizard's robe. To be able to become the president of the federation, one must be highly respected, and perhaps also have amazing magical abilities.
To be honest, Maka actually doubted whether this old wizard from Africa had practiced some weird black magic, which was why he became the wrinkled and erect ghost he is now.
But different from his superficial image, Mr. Ajinbad is very talkative, and he is also modest and polite when he speaks, which is quite like everyone's style. Rather than being a person in power, he is actually more like an old scholar who specializes in magic research.
After he spoke kindly, the place became quiet again. Everyone was observing Mrs. Maxim's expression and gaze to see if there were any other people who needed to be introduced separately.
If there is still one, the first subtlety may appear in today's situation, and everyone is waiting for it.
