Willie came, inexplicably and suddenly; then Willie left again, calmly and naturally.

It's like she never cared about other people's opinions of herself.

Seeing that the old housekeeper quickly followed behind Willy, the two of them left from the door one after another, and even did not forget to close the door. Maxim and Nabo were still sitting on the sofa.

Miss Lant couldn't help but remain silent for a long time, and then she heard the former finally sigh slightly.

"Yes! You're scared... aren't you?" Mrs. Maxim shook her head lightly and said, "Although I feel ashamed to say it, it is indeed a fact."

Yes, Maxim was certainly scared in the face of this shocking disaster. Especially after watching Maka and Haierbo perform well in such a long confrontation, but still inevitably retreating, she believed

, people who are fearful today must have accounted for the majority.

She is actually just one of them.

However, as the principal of Beauxbatons, all her actions are responsible for the teachers and students of the entire school. While shouldering heavy responsibilities, she established a resistance alliance with Hermione and needed combat power on the front line.

While helping Hermione gather as many people as possible, this was the limit of what she could do.

There is no doubt that no one can blame her for her inaction in the face of the disaster in Denmark.

However, judging from what the Brandt family has done so far, the nature is completely different. Even they have joined the alliance and become a member of it, and have also provided some combat power with other member forces.

.However, relatively speaking, their contribution to curbing this disaster is obviously not enough.

Not only that, they had even secretly maliciously incited some members to win over other forces, trying to take advantage of the moment when the alliance's resistance cause was at a low point to prepare themselves for the next disaster.

But now, even if he wanted to lower his head and ask for help, he didn't forget to use his crooked brains and specially sent a young girl to negotiate, hoping to win sympathy and gain an advantage.

With such a style of conduct, it’s no wonder he’s so unpopular.

"Mrs. Maxim?"

When Maxim felt deeply ashamed, but somewhat helpless, the Brandt lady sitting opposite her was obviously also speechless by Willy's unabashed words.

After waiting for a while, she couldn't help but look at Maxim and called out softly again.

"Huh?" Maxim paused for a moment, then lowered his head to look at her and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted. Miss Brandt, what's wrong?"

"I--"

The other party opened his mouth somewhat hesitantly, but in the end he still lowered his head and shook it slightly.

"No, it's nothing."

Today, she was selected by the head of the family and sent here to find a breakthrough with Madame Maxime. Her task was originally supposed to be for Maxim to lobby the Blois family on her behalf.

Who would have thought that someone from the Blois family just came, but it seemed that she was being "taunted" by the other party - Willy definitely didn't mean this, but from her side, what she just said

It's almost the same as teasing and innuendo.

And the more important thing is that after Weili said a few words, she left so neatly! From the beginning to the end, she was not even given a chance to speak.

What to do next? She has no idea at all.

But no matter what, you can't just return without success, right? If that were the case, once the enemy invaded the northern border of Germany, the head of the family would have to arrange her to be among the first batch of "send to death" teams!

No, she doesn't want to die! She's still young!

After thinking about it secretly for a while, Miss Brandt suddenly raised her head again, looked at Madame Maxime opposite with a somewhat pitiful look and said:

"Madam, I thought about it carefully and feel that what Miss Blois said just now is indeed correct. In the face of disaster, we are too cowardly, which is why the enemy finally began to expand the 'results' unscrupulously. If we can take the initiative to attack

, that might be more effective than passive defense!"

"Therefore," she paused for a moment, then continued, "I decided to do my best to convince the elders in my family to transfer our combat forces currently being prepared at Camp Granger to Denmark!"

"oh?"

Hearing her sudden words of "high consciousness", Maxim couldn't help but be stunned and couldn't recover for a while.

"This...well, maybe!"

However, after listening to the other party's next words, she finally understood what the girl's purpose was.

The young lady from the Brandt family followed closely and said:

"So... Madam, can you help me contact Miss Granger? Because although some of the coalition forces are indeed sent by our family, they are still nominally managed and dispatched by the coalition.

To transfer them to Denmark, I think it is necessary to go through Miss Granger, and it is definitely not good to transfer them back privately."

Of course, many forces within the alliance already know about Hermione and the others' trip to Devon. And with the intelligence channels of the Brandt family, it will definitely not be unclear.

When she mentioned contacting Hermione, it must have been because she saw that there was no hope of getting help from the Blois family anymore, so she simply wanted to change her target and focus on Hermione and the others.

It's a pity that Hermione and others are now at the Burrow. Even if Maxim wants to contact them, he has to wait for them to provide contact channels first.

Miss Brandt's little trick may not work anymore.

"Yes," Mrs. Maxim shook her head and said calmly, "Of course it is very touching that Miss Brandt can have such an idea. But unfortunately, Miss Granger and the others are currently deep in the enemy's territory.

It’s difficult for us to contact the group.”

After saying this first, she paused slightly, then continued:

"But, it doesn't matter - Miss Brandt, if you really want to send someone to Denmark to work with Miss Blois to save the Danish people from disaster, I can help you contact Mr. Bill Weasley at Camp Granger.

Now, he can also mobilize the coalition forces on behalf of Miss Granger - just like Mr. Percy Weasley back then! And... according to the report documents sent from the Granger camp recently, the coalition forces seem to have recovered.

It’s almost time, now is the time!”

Miss Brandt did not expect that when she mentioned this, Mrs. Maxim would go around her.

But it's no wonder, after all, she is still young, and she is actually not good at this kind of negotiation. Once she deviates from the script plan set by her family, she will immediately show her timidity.
