Chapter 2044: Everyone is self-interested
Don't get too involved in the rebellion - this is the reminder that the head of the Blois family left for the old butler when he left Beauxbatons.
And as the steward of Blois's family for many years, the latter can certainly understand the meaning of the other party.
In the final analysis, all the actions of the Blois family today are based only on friendship with Maca. If it was just to repay the favor, they didn't have to get involved in the affairs of the Rebellion Alliance...... Especially when the Blois family has done enough for this disaster.
Therefore, when the head of the family left for the front and received the first news of the invasion of Denmark, the old housekeeper's advice to the family council was to "protect their own interests".
But of course, under the premise of being dedicated to the family, he still didn't forget to bring a group of British wizards from the refuge community.
After all, those were the people that Macka McLean had told him to protect in the first place—no matter what the status quo was, no matter what the future holds, the Blois family would never be on the opposite side of Maca.
Mr. Blois and the old butler have always been in their minds, and Macka McLean is a man who must not be turned into an enemy.
However, Beauxbatons and Madame Maxime didn't care, and to be honest, the Blois family had never cared much about the school of witchcraft and wizardry.
Seeing that the wizard sent by Maxim to invite him turned his head to look at Willy by the flower bed, the old butler frowned slightly, then stood up and stood between the other party and Willy, and raised his hand lightly and said:
"Please go back! Whether the people from the Brandt family come or not has nothing to do with me, let alone Miss. ”
"Oh! Mr. Butler, I ...... That was not what I meant. ”
The wizard sent by Madame Maxime was naturally also seconded from the French Ministry of Magic - again, Beauxbatons was a school, except for the students who were professors. And Maxim, one of the founders of the Resistance Alliance, even if he wants to employ people, he can't pick them from the school, right?
It's just that most of the personnel of the French Ministry of Magic are actually students who graduated from Beauxbatons. Now doing things for Madame Maxim, in fact, there is still a certain sense of belonging for them.
Now that the wizard had been sent by Maxim to invite the old butler, he was obviously very active, and seeing that the old butler did not agree, he naturally began to wonder how to get someone.
Yes, even if it was only for a moment, he did have the idea to beat Willy just now...... Oh, that's what I said, in fact, I just wanted to find a breakthrough from Willy to make the old butler agree.
However, for the old butler, everything related to Willy will become more sensitive. If someone tried to take advantage of the simple-hearted Willy, he would definitely not agree.
Even if it's just a little thing that doesn't hurt.
"No more," said the old butler, shaking his head slowly at the other man, "go tell Madame!" Mademoiselle and I are now able to borrow this place, and we won't do more for the Rebellion, for Beauxbatons—at least for now. ”
That's right, I have to admit that the old butler and Willy are able to live here, in fact, it is a great help to Madame Maxim and Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Even though...... The reason why Willy chose to stay here was only because of Maca's words, and it had nothing to do with the attitude of the Blois family.
"Alright! Mr. Butler, I see...... I will pass on your words to Madame. ”
The wizard was visibly disappointed that he had not been able to invite the old butler, for whether the old butler would go or not would certainly play a non-negligible role in Madame Maxim's meeting in a moment's time. And from Maxim's standpoint, the Brandt family's bow is definitely an opportunity worth seizing.
In the end, she still hopes to accumulate more strength before danger really comes to her, so that she can better protect all the teachers and students in Beauxbatons.
That's right, just like when Maca predicted the spread of the disaster in advance, so as to preserve the entire Hogwarts foundation in various ways.
It's a pity that she obviously doesn't have the strength and foresight of Maca, and just raising help is all she can do. And now, the Blois family doesn't seem to want to have much to do with her.
After a short time, the subordinate who had returned from the old butler's side could only confess to Maxim at the corner of the corridor near the side hall:
"Madam, the Blois steward did not agree. He said that he and Miss Blois were now living in Beauxbatons, and that they would not do more for us. And everything has to wait for the return of the head of the Blois family. ”
"'For now'...... Is it? ”
Fortunately in the misfortune, the old butler did not say everything to death, which finally made Maxim feel helpless at the same time, and secretly relieved.
"I see, you go and do things!" She nodded slightly, then turned to look at the side hall door on the other side of the hallway, and regained her spirits, "It's time for me to do what I have to do." ”
After the words fell, Maxim walked straight to the other side with graceful steps.
……
"What was that person doing just now?"
After Maxim's men had left the garden, it was about a few minutes before Willy, who had finished cultivating the valerian in the flower bed, clapped her hands and stood up.
Although she hadn't listened carefully to what the old butler was saying, she had apparently noticed that someone had come. After taking care of those precious plants at this time, I saw that she was moving her legs, which were a little numb because she had been squatting for too long, and asked very casually.
"That's Madame Maxim's man, someone from the Brandt family in Germany, and Madame wants to invite me over to meet with me." The old butler said truthfully, "However, miss, you also know that the head of the family does not want our Blois family to be too involved in the affairs of that alliance. ”
"Well," Willy blinked, "Rebel Alliance?" Remember...... Hermione founded it, right? I think I can get involved. ”
But as she spoke, she shook her head again.
"But forget about the Brandt family, I don't like the people of that family."
"Uh, yes!" The old butler nodded suddenly, and echoed, "The Brandt family has always had a bad reputation, and they don't have a good relationship with our Blois family. This time it was only when they were in trouble that they remembered to find Madame Maxim, and we didn't have to come forward to take the trouble ourselves. ”
"Trouble? What's the trouble? ”
However, when Willy heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head with interest and asked.
