"Mr. Witt, in fact, I have come to disturb me this time for the sake of my engagement to Miss Charlotte Witt...... Sorry, I know this is a bit of a faux pas for the Witt family, but I've heard ......"

Marius was struggling to make his words more sincere.

"Well, I've heard that Marca McLean was here today, too, and ...... Did you do something that embarrassed you? ”

Although Maca on the side was attracted a lot of attention by the table full of food, she couldn't help but shake her head when she heard Marius ask.

Today, the Werther family must be embarrassed, but that embarrassment is not caused by him alone.

And speaking of which, things like "I was also slightly yin by Helbo" made him feel a little bit nervous.

As for Marius's reference to his engagement with Charlotte......

"The Augustinian Family...... Is this going to officially unite with the Werther family against me? Maca looked back and forth on Marius's face, and her mind began to secretly calculate.

Of course, it was impossible for Marius to be aware of Maca's existence, let alone know that his words and deeds could enter the eyes of Maca, an "imaginary enemy".

Compared with Maca's noncommittal thinking, the eyes of the old master of Werther were obviously much sharper.

I saw him gently knock on the table with his knuckles, and said solemnly:

"Kid, are you worried that we, the Werther family, will compromise because of that McLean's brutal behavior and eventually give up on asking Hogwarts for Charlotte?"

"Oh, no—" said Maleu, waving his hand hurriedly, "how so! I just want to make sure that my fiancée can still marry us in the Augustinian family...... In fact, if there was a need, I ......"

He seemed to hesitate a little halfway through his words, and subconsciously tilted his head slightly to the side. The old master of Witt might have thought that Marius was deliberating on his words, but Maca noticed a slight wandering in his eyes.

"Well......" continued Mallio, "I mean, Miss Charlotte Witte is my fiancée after all...... If possible, we, the Augustinians, are also willing to act in order to 'take her back'. ”

He said this quite bluntly, and it was because of his small gesture that Maca had a little more speculation about Miriam in the crowd.

"That's what the woman wanted him to say?" Maca's eyes glanced at the wall not far away, but there wasn't much expression on her face.

As far as the truth goes, Miriam really didn't get to that point.

It's just that Marius is not a stupid person, although he is a little uncomfortable, but he still quickly understands what to do.

For example, when he thought that he would have to grasp the entire family little by little into his own hands, he quickly understood that he needed to have enough "opinions" in the first place.

If you still follow the will of your elders in everything like before, even if you become the head of the family, I am afraid that you will only become a puppet with no blood and surname.

Therefore, he took the initiative to propose to the old master of Werther that his family should also act, which was actually just the first decision made to break away from the "family arrangement".

"Oh?"

For Marius's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Old Werther's eyes.

The heir of the Augustinian family before, he didn't see it before! But like today, without the presence of family elders but still daring to make decisions for the family, he has never seen such a Mario.

"It would be great if the Augustinians were willing to do it. But...... Marius, I wonder if what you said also represents the will of your entire Augustinian family? ”

It was the first time that Old Werther had called Mallor by his first name tonight, instead of continuing to call him "child".

It can be seen that as long as Marius can make a positive response next, then he will officially be hooked with the Augustinian family in the heart of old Werther.

But to be honest, although Marius at this moment looks normal on the surface, his heart is quite shaken. And this vacillation forced him to can't help but glance at Miriam again.

"Of course," said Marlois, "I am the sole heir of the Augustinian family, and what I say naturally represents the entire Augustinian family." ”

When he said this "big word", Marius's heart was hanging. He didn't know why he was so bold to say a decision diametrically opposed to the family meeting in front of the old head of the Werther family.

But now, he can only count on Miriam to be able to talk and help him deal with the elders in the family.

“…… Especially Herbert! ”

For Marius, the uncle of the chief housekeeper, who was unhappy with him all the time, would always be a trench that must be crossed.

"Well, in that case, we can talk about this in detail after dinner." The old master suddenly smiled and nodded, "Then, let's dine first!" It's time for them to cool off if we keep talking......"

If he had to say it, Old Werther only believed most of Marius's words. But whether or not the decision that Marius said was true, what the Tawert family was going to do now would not change.

From the moment Helmau stood "behind" him, his Werther family had not had much choice.

"This dragon meat pie tastes good, it's made in Romania. Come, Marius, you try it too......"

……

After that, the dinner was quite enjoyable. Of course, a guy like Maca, who can only watch from the sidelines, is not so beautiful.

After the meal, Marius and Werther Sr. really talked about "how to recapture Charlotte". And in the course of the conversation, which is not a coincidence, the discussion slowly shifted to "how to deal with McLean".

Maca sat on the edge of the table beside him, rolling his eyes as he listened, and poured a mouthful of Immortal Elixir into his mouth from time to time.

After pondering some of the words of the old master of Werther, Maca also came to a conclusion - Helmo wanted to use the hand of the Werther family to drag him down.

"Two possibilities—" he silently folded his hands, "one, Helmo is preparing for the Demon Summoning Technique; Two, Helbo hasn't even gotten the summoning part of "Abatheel" at all. ”

Either way, it means that Helpo needs time.

"His time is my time."

Maca was thinking about it, but saw that the conversation on Marius's side had finally come to an end. After being politely courted by the old master of Werther, Marius also declined accordingly, for he saw at a glance that Miriam was signaling that he should go.

Seeing this, Maca temporarily put down Helbo's affairs a little, and his eyes also fell on Miriam who was not far away.

"Let's start with this side first! If you don't find out the true intentions of that Ewen Ravenclaw, if you are cheated at a critical time, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Without much hesitation, Marloy quietly followed as he walked out with Miriam.

Walking through the main hall and vestibule of the Werther family, the surroundings suddenly became much darker without the many lights in the mansion.

The man and the woman were still more cautious, and neither of them spoke on the way out of Werther's house. It wasn't until they had turned a few streets and entered the alley that Marius couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Miss Miriam, wait until I get back to the family...... What exactly should I do? ”

There is no doubt that this is what he is most concerned about right now. Seriously, if he gets away with it now, then he's going to have a lot of fun!

"Oh! I must be crazy tonight! ”

But Miriam, who was quietly following him, shook her head with a smile.

"No, you're not crazy," she said seriously, ...... she reached out and pressed Marius on both shoulders and stared into his eyes, "and not only that, but you're doing a great job!" At least better than I expected...... If you can still maintain that calm and calm attitude towards the head of the Werther family in the future, everything will not be a problem! ”

"But," Marloy took a deep breath and held it for a long time before he said a little helplessly, "you may not know, I'm just holding on to ......"

Miriam, seeing that he seemed to lack confidence, immediately reached out and patted his arm.

"Maybe you're not satisfied, but I hope you can understand that this kind of so-called 'holding on' is not something that ordinary people can do! I said, you have to have a little bit of confidence in yourself! ”

When Ma Luo heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"The dinner just now made me understand what it takes to be the head of a family...... And that's probably just scratching the surface. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly sighed:

"Can I really do it, and hold the entire Augustinian family in my hands?"

“…… I see. ”

A voice rang out in the dark alley where no one was around, startling both Marius and Miriam.

"What people!"

Miriam, who was still well-trained, reacted quickly, and immediately drew her wand, and without hesitation, cast a silent spell in the direction from which the voice came.

Immediately afterward, the figure of the man hiding near her was revealed, though it was not in the position she had judged.

"Hello," Maca said as she looked them both left and right, expressionless, "Can I say...... 'We're meeting again'?" ”

"Maca McLean!"

When Miriam saw that it was him, she immediately frowned.

"Didn't the boss tell you before leaving? We're doing things here, and we're not interfering with each other—"

"Hmph," Maka interrupted with a chuckle, "you 'boss' did, but I didn't agree...... Besides, it's not impossible for me not to interfere, but have you done it yourself? ”
