Erich von Brandt was a wizard who was outstanding in many ways.

Born into the Brandt family, a famous pure-blood family in Germany, he showed great talent for magic since he was a child.

After going on a rampage with magic at the age of six, he mastered a lot of basic magic under the guidance of a tutor in his family at the age of seven. He began to learn potions and herbalism at the age of nine, and continued to learn transfiguration at the age of ten.

In addition, he did not miss any of the etiquette lessons that every child in the Brandt family had to learn, and he became a well-mannered and amazing boy at a young age.

Everyone originally thought that Erich would definitely spend time at home before reaching adulthood. After all, the Brandt family recruited a lot of talents, and it would not be a problem to do some enlightenment teaching for Erich. And even if this was not the case, many people

I also think that at most he will go to Durmstrang to study for a period of time.

But no one expected that when he was eleven years old, Erich actually asked to go out to school, and for some unknown reason, chose Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Perhaps because the family could not resist this precocious genius boy who had high hopes, Erich finally got his wish and became the first child of the Brandt family to go to Beauxbatons.

It was at that time that Ms. De Guin, who was also still young, met this charming boy for the first time.

It has to be said that Erich's talent was rare at that time. In the first semester of his enrollment, his outstanding ability overshadowed the students in the same grade and even higher grades. It can be said that Dekui

Ms. En was also a "top student" at that time, but compared with Erich, she was instantly eclipsed.

From that moment on, DeQuin developed complex feelings for this boy who was better than him in every aspect.

As time passed, De Guin and Erich naturally became friends.

Although it may not really be called a "competition", De Kuin has always regarded Erich as the target of his pursuit. Coupled with the increasing age, De Kuin, who is slowly maturing in his heart, is not aware of it.

As soon as he woke up, he realized that he seemed to have fallen deeply in love with this handsome, outstanding, humble and polite boy.

Finally, more than a year before graduation, DeQuin confessed his love to Erich.

I remember that at that time, DeQuin had actually become a beautiful girl that everyone loved. Her proactive confession broke the hearts of many boys in the school. But because Erich was so good, everyone had a good time.

Despite howling like ghosts and wolves, one must also admit that the two of them are indeed a particularly good match.

And as everyone expected, Erich accepted Dequin's feelings, and the two became a couple that was envied by their classmates.

However, this love affair, which could be said to be highly anticipated by everyone, only lasted for one year.

After graduation, some classmates discovered that the two had separated at some point. Ms. DeQuin's friends once asked her about this issue, but she, who had always been gentle, became unusually sulky for a while.

After all, her friend also failed to know why De Guin and Erich, a pair made in heaven, suddenly broke up.

However, Madame Maxime is one of the few people who knows the inside story about this matter.

"Emily," this was the first time Mrs. Maxim called her by name today, "he must have never forgotten you in his heart. You should know this better than anyone else, right?"

Ms. DeQuin said nothing.

"Think about it carefully. Although this disaster is terrible, it is undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both of you..."

DeQuin still said nothing.

"As long as you go find him, you can be together. Under the current circumstances, those Brandt elders who blocked you and Erich back then will definitely not be able to object."

DeQuin still said nothing.

Seeing that the other party never responded and just sat there in silence, Mrs. Maxim couldn't help but sigh. However, she never forgot the purpose of coming here today, and she understood better that Dequin was the best.

Breakthrough.

After a slight pause, she immediately regained her composure and went further:

"Emily, now, don't tell me that you have given up. Do you think I don't know why you tried every possible means to climb to the position of Minister of Magic? Do you think I don't know why you are still single?

One person? You have worked very hard, and now Erich is the Minister of Magic, and so are you! Isn't this the knot you want..."

"Do not make jokes!"

Suddenly, DeQuin, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but burst out.

"Yes, I have become the Minister of Magic, but do you really think that the Minister of Magic in Belgium and the Minister of Magic in Germany are the same? No! The distance between me and him is even worse than the distance between Brussels and Berlin.

The distance between us is even further! Much further!”

When he was young, De Guin saw a dreamlike ideal; but now, De Guin feels this cold and ruthless reality all the time.

I still remember that in the year of graduation, Erich wanted to take De Kuin home, but before they even arrived in Berlin, Erich's uncle came from home with a group of family wizards and intercepted them.

.

At that time, Erich was full of energy, coupled with the self-confidence brought by his outstanding talent, he originally wanted to resist the shackles of his elders on his own. Unfortunately, his excellence was not enough to break free from a family.

control, let alone take care of DeQuin.

After giving the two of them enough warning, Erich's uncle took Erich back to Berlin, while De Guin was "escorted" all the way back to his hometown in Belgium by a group of family wizards from the Brandt family.

As for how Erich was treated by the family after that, even Dequin didn't know. She only knew that Erich entered the German Ministry of Magic not long after.

After receiving the news, she hid at home alone and cried all night, and the next day she submitted her information and job application to the Belgian Ministry of Magic.

Over the years, apart from occasionally meeting Erich from a distance at the conference table of the International Federation of Wizards, the two had no contact.

"Emily, I understand what you are saying." Mrs. Maxim sighed, "But you should also know that Erich has never been married like you for so many years?"

However, Ms. DeQuin just pursed her lips and said:

"Olim, but do you know that Erich has never contacted me for so many years or even sent a personal letter? What is the reason for this?"
