"Erich! You...you promised to marry me!"

Perhaps because the shock of being ignored by the one he loved was too great, DeQuin, who had been silent and stunned for a long time, suddenly burst out.

And it was her almost unthinking words that finally broke through Erich's defenses, making it difficult for him to maintain his superficial composure.

He looked at DeQuin who suddenly stood up and looked directly at him, feeling a little lost for a moment.

Yes, of course Erich still remembered that he was the one who personally expressed his promise to De Guin to get married together by the Lemay Fountain in Beauxbatons. And he also remembered that the beautiful De Guin at that time

How shy and touching.

However, it turns out that although some old-fashioned stories are cliché, it is precisely because they are constantly being played out in this world in almost every era.

Erich understood this at the beginning. He knew that the old stubborn people in the family who only believed in pure blood and power would definitely not agree to marry De Kuin. Not only could he not marry, but even if those elders knew that he was dating

If DeQuin is together, the latter's life may be in danger.

Because in the paranoid thinking of those old guys, just having any in-depth communication with DeQuin would stain the "pure blood" of their Brandt family.

Humph, sometimes Erich would doubt whether he, who was born into this family, was still considered a "human". He only cared about whether his blood was pure or not... Isn't this just animal breeding?

Therefore, when Erich decided not to marry De Guin, he actually planned to fight the entire Brandt family to the end.

Yes, Erich is an amazingly gifted magic genius, and he also knows that he has magical power that ordinary people cannot reach. He has grown and improved all the way, and he has reached the level of an ordinary graduate in the fourth grade. After graduating from Booth

When Barton graduated, he was even better than the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.

But what he didn't expect was that it was true that he had talent, and could even be called a genius wizard. However, his "genius" was far from enough to silence everyone in the Brandt family.

In fact, his uncle took the initiative to stop the two of them on the way. Erich's uncle was not a good person, but he had loved his little nephew since Erich was a child. In order to prevent Erich from being punished, at the same time

In order to prevent Erich from being too sad, he took his people out and sent Dequin back home.

If it had been an old guy in the family, DeQuin would have been exposed in the wild!

For this reason, Erich, who was young, energetic and angry at the time, still didn't understand his uncle's kindness, and couldn't help but fight when the other party ordered De Guin to be sent away.

After he was defeated by his uncle, he realized that the strength that he had been sought after since he was a child was not at all... It only took his uncle's action to completely defeat him, let alone the more powerful members of the family.

The older generation.

At the same time, the uncle, who personally defeated his nephew's spirit, sat down and had a good chat with Erich.

Erich still clearly remembers what the other party said:

"Erich, I won't force you to forget that girl, but you must remember that if you refuse to let go, she will die sooner or later, and your persistence will eventually become the only cause of her death. And you...

...At least right now, there is absolutely no way you can keep her."

Erich was finally convinced, the kind who refused to accept it.

To this day, he is still working hard and looking forward to the day when he becomes the head of the Brandt family. He naturally knows that De Guin has never been married, just like him, so he still has not given up.

Unfortunately, the grandfather of Erich, the old head of the Brandt family, is surprisingly healthy and long-lived, and is still sitting firmly on the throne for decades.

Obviously, even his father, the most capable of the previous generation, has not yet been able to become the head of the family, so when will it be his turn?

"...Emily."

Erich, who was in a daze for a moment, subconsciously called out Ms. De Guin's name. As he was immersed in the melancholy memories, he seemed to have transformed back into the young man he was before.

However, he was unable to help himself that year, and his current situation has not changed.

"Master."

Suddenly, a cold voice suddenly broke in. The voice seemed to be accompanied by the freezing cold temperature in the ice cellar, which made Ms. De Guin shiver and also woke up Erich who was in a daze.

"Master, it turns out... is this Miss Emily DeQuin?"

"No, she's not! You heard wrong, she's not, she has nothing to do with me, she was just talking crazy words!"

"Well, really? But... Master, although I am old, I am not stupid yet."

Before he finished speaking, a figure slowly walked out from the corner of the living room. Yes, it was the corner where Hermione had noticed the strange movement before.

"As expected, he is from the Erich family."

Hermione looked at the old wizard in gray robes walking over and couldn't help but frown slightly.

This old man is not simple at first glance. His expressionless cold face, his calm and unhurried posture with slightly lowered eyelids, and his habitual movements that seem to be holding the handle of the magic wand in his sleeve all show that he has been hardened by actual combat.

Practice it well.

"Master, since you have nothing to do with her, why do you still protect her?"

When Hermione heard what the other party said, she turned her head slightly and looked in Erich's direction. Sure enough, at this moment, the other party had already occupied the front of Ms. De Guin, using her own

His body stood between her and the old man.

And Hermione found that Erich seemed to be unable to restrain himself and wanted to touch her waist, but gave up this move again and again.

"This...isn't this because I'm worried that you will attack at will? I am very aware of your temper of attacking if you disagree with me!" Erich pursed his lips and forced himself to calm down, "You have to know, this lady is

Minister of Magic of Belgium, if you must be rude, please go back!"

"Belgium?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately shook his head, obviously disdainful of this title. However, after a short pause, he still said calmly:

"Also...I'm sorry everyone, I was rude. But, Master, it should be okay if I attack you, right? You know, you are making a mistake, and I must take you back to the family to accept the punishment of the head of the family...

…This is a family matter of my Brandt family, so I won’t bother you to interfere.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man started walking again, and actually took out the wand from his sleeve and walked towards Erich step by step.

"Master, please don't resist. This is unwise behavior. The master loves you very much. I believe you won't be punished too severely. Don't worry!"

Eric looked at the other person, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed his eyes.
