harry potter book of crimes

It has to be said that almost everyone in the Brandt family is very smart.

Let’s put it this way! If they lived in England and studied at Hogwarts, they would definitely be Slytherins for generations without exception.

And because of this, even though they have an arrogant temperament and are somewhat annoying, they still live a very nourishing life.

Yes, no matter what you do, the word "degree" can often explain many problems. If you can grasp the scale of advance and retreat well, and add some cleverness, then there will be room for change in many things.

Just like now, although Maxim doesn't like the Brandt family, he even plans to take advantage of this opportunity to laugh at each other's jokes. But when a well-behaved girl greets him sincerely, in advance

It’s really hard to say out loud the teasing and strength that have been stored in my heart.

And this is obviously the effect that the Brandt family expected.

"Maxim... Madam? I wonder if Madam can accept the request I just made?"

This girl is not very old, probably about the same age as Charlotte. According to her initial self-introduction, it seems that she just graduated from Durmstrang two years ago.

And because her appearance, figure, and even personality are more youthful, on the surface, she actually looks smaller than Charlotte.

Although...it's unclear whether her timid and hesitant look was just an act.

By the way, if we calculate the time, when Maka temporarily enrolled in Durmstrang, she might have met her a few times.

"Miss Brandt, of course there is nothing wrong with your family asking the Alliance to help with defense, but this is definitely not something I can decide on my own. You also know that the Alliance's combat power is raised from all sides.

, this matter must be discussed and decided at a meeting..."

Sitting face to face with her, because of the huge height difference between the two, Maxim had to lower his head slightly before he could look at her face and speak. However, because the other party rarely raised his head to meet Maxim's eyes, some kind of

To a certain extent, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.

It's just...this feeling made Maxim feel like he was talking to a child.

"As for the Blois family," Maxim paused, then continued, "To be honest with you! I think it will be more difficult to ask for help from them. The reason... you should know."

Yes, it is almost a matter of course that the Brandt family, like Maxim, is eyeing the powerful help of the Blois family. If they can get the help of the Blois family, not to mention resisting the enemy's invasion,

At least it’s more than enough to buy more time for migration preparation, right?

However, almost the entire upper class of the European wizarding world knows that the Brandt family and the Blois family have never been harmonious, and they have a relationship where each other secretly stumbles. Now the former has to seek help from the latter.

The possibility of assistance is really slim.

"Yes, I understand." The Miss Brandt in front of me held each other's hands uneasily on her thighs and lowered her head slightly. "So, why don't you just come to Madam and ask for a matchmaker?"

"But--"

The girl's gentle tone and timid appearance really made Maxim unable to say anything serious. When the girl said this, she could only shake her head and said:

"All I can say is that I can ask for you, and it must be after Mr. Blois returns from England. So before that, I can only wait for a while."

"But we can't wait!"

Perhaps because this problem was imminent, or perhaps just to get Madame Maxime to agree to help, she finally raised her head suddenly and looked straight this way.

"Madam, you know that Denmark cannot withstand the erosion of this disaster. Maybe they won't last long, and the war will spread directly to the northern border of Germany." She said, "In fact, I was originally

We wanted to find Mr. MacLean, but unfortunately, we couldn't find him at all. So the next best thing was to ask the Blois family for help."

After hearing what the girl said, Maxim wanted to just talk about something else and leave this issue aside for the time being. But at this moment, there were suddenly several knocks on the door of the side hall.

Voice..

"Please wait."

Maxim nodded slightly at the girl, then stood up and walked towards the door - because she had warned others not to come near this way, now she had no choice but to open the door for the visitor herself.

However, the visitor didn't seem to be interested in waiting outside the door. Not long after knocking on the door, the other party pushed the door open before Maxim could walk over.

"Hello, ma'am."

To Maxim's surprise, the person who appeared at the door now was actually Willy Blois, and even the old housekeeper who had just refused the invitation came with him.

"Uh, good morning... Miss Blois, why are you here?"

"Didn't Madam ask someone to invite my housekeeper?" Willie said calmly, "I just heard that Denmark was also attacked by Haierbo?"

To be honest, Maxim would naturally welcome the old housekeeper and Willy to come here. However, compared to the old housekeeper, this young lady from the Blois family was actually more difficult for her to deal with.

After all, Weili doesn't talk much on weekdays, and she is always messing with her flowers and plants, and rarely takes the initiative to pay attention to others. Yes, she is the kind of person who behaves strangely, and it is obvious at a glance that she is not easy to communicate with.

.

But Maxim didn't know that compared to the cold girl she used to be when she was a student at Hogwarts, Willy is already much better now!

"Anyway... Miss Blois, please come in and sit down! Mr. Housekeeper is also here." She thought for a moment, then extended her hand to invite her, "It just so happens that the Brandt family's young lady is here too. No matter what happens, we'll be there for you."

You can sit down and talk."

"good."

Willie nodded, and then, under Maxim's guidance, she went to the sofa by the window and sat down without paying much attention.

"Mr. Butler, please take a seat too!"

Maxim said this again, but saw that the old housekeeper just shook his head, and then stood still beside the sofa where Willy was sitting as usual.

Seeing this, Maxim had no choice but to let him go. Seeing Willy sitting on the sofa, looking at Miss Brandt not far away with a little interest, he followed suit.

They sat down together in the previous seats.

"Then... let's continue from the topic just now!"
