"Charlie? Why are you back? At this moment...shouldn't you be at Beauxbatons at this moment?"

When Percy saw clearly who came in, he immediately felt a little surprised - although the wizard who came to deliver the message just now did not mention how the three Blois family went to Beauxbatons, but when he thought about it before

Charlie went to find the old butler, and Percy thought that Mr. Blois's return this time was probably due to Charlie.

But looking at Charlie's expression now, Percy immediately realized that things might not be what he imagined.

"Beauxbatons? Why?" Charlie came in with a serious look and sat down directly on the chair next to the table. "I just saw someone leaving from the back door...is it related to him?"

"Uh, um." Percy was stunned, then frowned slightly and said, "Then... Charlie, do you know that Mr. Blois has returned to Beauxbatons?"

After hearing Percy's words, Charlie suddenly said:

"So that's it... Yes, I know. In fact, I have already met Mr. Blois and the others before - together with the old housekeeper. But... maybe it's because I was too anxious.

I may have made Mademoiselle Blois feel a little unhappy this time."

"Huh? With Miss Blois? What's going on?"

They have been brothers for so many years, and Percy still knows very well who Charlie is. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that he is "honest and honest".

So after hearing what he said, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law suddenly felt a little strange.

"Maybe I really have to be blamed for this," Charlie scratched his head, but still said helplessly, "Didn't we say before that we always felt that something was wrong with Maka? This time I went to see Mr. Butler. I wanted to invite him to go to Hogg with me.

Woz asked Mr. Blois to ask for details, but who knew that before leaving France, he found out that they had left Maca and returned halfway... At that time, I was at the beach and saw that the opportunity was rare, so I wanted to let Mr. Butler do it on the spot.

Just ask."

"In front of Miss Blois?" Percy had a more flexible mind after all, and he immediately realized the problem, "Oh! It's not like you don't know that Miss Blois is the most loyal to Macana. Why?

Maybe you can tolerate others doubting Maka?"

"I know, and I'm not really 'suspicious'... Oh, forget it, let's not talk about it for now."

Charlie seemed a little annoyed that he was stupid, and felt that maybe the words he used when he went to the old housekeeper were wrong, which caused the old housekeeper to misunderstand his thoughts, which also angered Willie.

However, although even Charlie himself is blaming himself, is this really his fault?

"Anyway, since you're back, let's have a good night's rest!" Percy patted Charlie on the shoulder and said, "Let's not talk about anything else. I knew from the way you looked when you first came in that this trip is going to be everything.

I didn’t ask…but there’s nothing I can do about it, after all, it’s Mr. Blois, and probably not many people can ask him what he doesn’t want to say.”

Of course, what Percy was referring to was asking Mr. Blois about Maca. Upon hearing this, Charlie could only nod his head, and then fell silent.

Percy stayed with him here for a short while, then left the rest tent and returned to the command post next door to begin preparations for the distribution of the new support team that the Blois family was about to dispatch.

In any case, Weymouth camp can be considered stable for a while - which is probably the only good thing at the moment.

…

After all, Delphi followed Willy to Beauxbatons.

This was obviously not because of Willie's invitation, but because Willie mentioned at that time that Maka had stripped out all the "cursed matter" and hoped that Willie would find another owner for that power.

Yes, Delphi certainly knows what kind of power is contained in the so-called "cursed substance" - it is one of the branches of the soul rules, the material embodiment of the lust rune, and it is what she once possessed.

, and then lost the power in the process of getting rid of the shackles of fate.

Originally, Delphi thought that Maka planned to hold it for herself in the future, and Maka was indeed successful. But who knows, things seem to have changed again now.

"……Father."

Delphi looked at the northern night sky - that might be the direction where Maka was, and murmured in her heart. She didn't understand, and she didn't know why Maka did this.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look away and looked at Willy who was still wandering in the garden not far away.

"Since Dad has given you the power of choice, then...who will you give it to?"

Although Delphi still didn't understand many things, she knew that the choice that Willy needed to make seemed to be very important.

That is an option that can change the fate of many people, and among those people, there must be Delphi.

Shaking her head slightly, she decided not to interfere in this choice.

"Miss Blois," after stroking her arms that were slightly cold due to the arrival of night, Delphi finally walked towards the garden and said as she walked, "It's time to go to bed... If you like it here

Flowers, we can come over tomorrow morning and enjoy them under the sun."

"Well?"

Willie, who was carefully looking at a moonlight grass that was slowly emitting fluorescence, heard Delphi's voice coming from behind, quickly turned her head, raised her index finger and whispered:

"Be gentle and be careful not to scare it - if it is too noisy around you, it will not dare to shine."

After saying that, she lowered her head to look again, and found that these two sentences of conversation did not seem to "disturbed" the moonlight grass, and then she quietly retreated to Delphi's side.

"Oh, it's so late," Willie looked up at the crescent moon that was already hanging high in the sky, and couldn't help but paused, "Then let's go!"

"Well," Delphi nodded and said while walking with Willy, "I just saw a warehouse over there. I took a look through the window. There seemed to be a lot of plant seeds in it. We can

Go and ask if you can pick some out and look at them..."

It seems that Delphi has decided to follow Willy closely. She wants to witness it with her own eyes and see what direction her future and the future of this world will take.

In other words, does she, Delphi McLean, still have a chance to help her father with her own power?

It didn't take long for the two of them to drift away under the moonlight in the night, until they walked into the gate of Beauxbatons' castle and disappeared inside.
