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

Perhaps because the blow of being ignored by his loved one was too great, De Quinn, who had been silent and stunned for a long time, suddenly broke out.

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

He looked at De Quinn, who stood up abruptly and looked directly at him, and for a moment he lost his mind.

Yes, of course, Erich remembers – it was he who personally promised de Quin to enter the marriage hall together at the Fountain of Le May in Beauxbatons. And he remembered how shy and charming the beautiful De Quinn was at that time.

However, it turns out that some of the clichéd stories, as clichéd, are played out in the world in almost every era.

Erich knew this at the beginning, and he knew that the old diehards in the family who were pure-blooded and powerful would definitely not agree to marry De Quinn. Not only can he not marry, but even if those elders know that he is with De Quinn, the latter's life may be in danger.

Because in the paranoid thinking of those old guys, just any in-depth communication between him and De Quinn will defile the "pure blood" of their Brandt family.

Hmph, sometimes Erich wonders if he is still a "human" born into this family, and only cares about the purity of blood...... Isn't this cattle breeding?

Therefore, when Erich decided not to marry De Quinn, he was actually planning to fight the entire Brandt family to the end.

Yes, Erich was a magical genius with incredible talent, and he knew that he had magical prowess beyond the reach of ordinary people. He has grown and progressed all the way, and by the time he graduated from Beauxbatons, he was even better than the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic.

But what he didn't expect was that he was talented, and he was definitely a genius wizard. However, his "genius" was far from enough to silence everyone in the Brandt family.

In fact, his uncle volunteered to intercept them both halfway - Erich's uncle was not a good man, but he loved his little nephew since he was a child. In order to let Erich not be punished, and at the same time to keep Erich from being too sad, he himself brought someone out to send De Quinn home.

If an old guy in the family had come out, De Quinn would probably have been exposed to the wilderness back then!

For this reason, Erich, who was young and angry at the time, did not understand his uncle's good intentions, and couldn't help but fight when the other party ordered someone to send De Quinn away.

It wasn't until he was defeated by his uncle that he realized that the strength he had been sought after since he was a child was not at home at all...... It only takes one uncle to defeat himself, let alone the more powerful older generations in the family.

At the same time, he personally defeated his nephew's sharp uncle, and then sat down to have a good chat with Erich.

Erich still remembers very well what he said:

"Erich, I don't want you to forget that girl, but you have to remember that if you don't let go, she will die sooner or later, and your persistence will eventually become her only cause of death. And you...... At least now, you will never be able to keep her. ”

Erich was still persuaded in the end, the kind that couldn't be convinced.

To this day, he is still working hard, looking forward to the day when he will become the head of the Brandt family. He naturally knew that De Quinn had never been married, just like him, so he still hadn't given up.

Unfortunately, Erich's grandfather, the patriarch of the Brandt family, lived a surprisingly long and healthy life, and he still sits firmly on the throne for decades.

Obviously, even his father, who was the most capable in the previous generation, has not yet been able to become the head of the family, so when and what month should he be able to get his turn?

“…… Emily. ”

Erich, who was in a trance for a moment, subconsciously called out Ms. De Quinn's name, and he was immersed in a sudden memory, as if he had changed back to the young man he had been.

However, he couldn't help himself that year, but his current situation has not changed.

"Young Master."

Suddenly, a cold voice interjected. The voice seemed to be accompanied by the cold and low temperature in the ice cellar, which made Miss Dedequinn shiver, and at the same time woke up Erich from a trance.

"Young master, it turns out ...... Is this Miss Emily DeQuinn? ”

"No, she's not! You heard me wrong, she's not—she has nothing to do with me, she's just talking crazy about it! ”

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

Before he could finish speaking, a figure slowly walked out of the corner of the living room. Yes, the corner where Hermione had noticed the change.

"Sure enough, it's someone from the Erich family."

Hermione couldn't help but frown slightly as she looked at the gray-robed old wizard pacing towards her.

The old man's expressionless cold face, his unhurried posture with slightly lowered eyelids, and his habitual movements as if he were holding the handle of his wand in his sleeve all showed his well-honed past.

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

When Hermione heard what the other party said, she turned her head slightly and looked over to Erich. Sure enough, at this moment, the other party had already occupied the front of Ms. Dequinn, and used his body to block the middle between her and the old man.

And Hermione even noticed that Erich seemed to be a little uncontrollable and wanted to touch his waist, but he gave up on this action again and again.

"This ...... Isn't this worried that you will do it at will, I know very well your temper of doing it if you don't agree with it! Erich pursed his lips and forced himself to compose, "You must know that this lady is the Minister of Magic of Belgium, and she must not be rude—you should not go back!" ”

"Belgium?"

When the old man heard this, he shook his head, obviously disdainful of him. However, after a slight pause, he still said lightly:

"Yes...... I'm sorry guys, but I was rude. But, young master, it should be no problem to do it to you, right? You know, you're making a mistake, and I'm going to have to take you back to the family to be punished by the head of the family...... This is a family affair of my Brandt family, so I won't let you interfere. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man took out his wand from his sleeve and walked towards Erich.

"Young master, please don't resist, this is an unwise behavior - the head of the family loves you very much, I believe you will not be punished too severely, don't worry!"

Erich looked at the other party, hesitated for a moment, and finally closed his eyes.
