Who is Miss Granger? This question is clearly redundant.

First of all, Madame Maxim is very easy to recognize, and her tall figure is not so famous that it is really difficult to make a mistake. As for the old butler, in the past, many important affairs of the Blois family were brought forward by his father on behalf of Willy, and there was no reason why the other party did not know him.

Aside from Ms. De Quinn, who had been next to Erich all along, there was only one woman he didn't know very well.

"Presumably this is Miss Hermione Granger." The man walked up to everyone step by step, and then stopped a little and said, "My unsuccessful son seems to have caused you a lot of trouble, and as a father, I am afraid I have to apologize to you for him." ”

"Father?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Erich, and when they saw him nod their heads with difficulty, everyone's faces showed different looks.

Ms. De Quinn, in particular, had never actually met Erich's father back then, and she was always thinking about what it would be like to meet him.

But I didn't expect that after many years, I finally saw it now.

"Oh! It's rude to forget to introduce yourself first—" The majestic wizard bowed slightly, "Greetings to all of you, Edward von Brandt, the first heir to the Brandt family. ”

In the Brandt family, the position of head of the family is not inherited by the eldest son, although the order of the eldest and youngest is also considered, but the most important thing is talent and ability.

The Brandt family has a round of competition every five years, and siblings who are in the heir sequence can participate. In addition to the routine duels, there are various assessments and competitions, and even the performance and gains over the five-year period will be included in the items to be compared with each other.

And perhaps it is precisely because of such strict and urgent family rules that the Brandt family, which is slightly inferior to other families in terms of historical inheritance, can sit at the top of the German wizarding world all year round.

Therefore, Erich's father's skills are indeed real, and he does have a reason to show pride in taking out this title of "first heir" when introducing himself to others.

Although, the person who really understands the meaning here is probably his son Erich...... Oh, and maybe even the old butler who knows a lot about these family affairs.

Of course, whether she knows these things or not, Hermione's attitude towards this matter will definitely not change today.

"Hello, Mr. Brandt, yes, I'm Hermione Granger." She nodded, "As for Erich...... Anyone else aside, at least he didn't cause me any trouble, that's for sure. So I don't think you need to apologize to me either. ”

"Hmm, really?" Edward spread his hands and said, "Although Miss Granger said so, judging from the situation that old Hans described to me just now, I can only think that this is a politeness of Miss Granger. ”

As he was talking, he suddenly waved his hand and said coldly:

"Hans, now that Steward Blois and Madame Maxim are here, you might as well repeat what you have reported to me. If you let me know that there is a half-truth, you can go to the head of the house and judge yourself! You know, this Miss Granger who is Mr. Demaca McLean, how can you easily slander her? ”

"Old Hans doesn't dare slander anyone!" When the gray-robed old man heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward respectfully and said, "Just now, I just followed the instructions of the family master, and I wanted to give some punishment to the young master who violated the family master's order back then. But...... But this Miss Granger suddenly intervened in the family affairs of my Brandt family, and used terrible ancient magic on me, almost throwing me away from this old life! ”

There was nothing wrong with the old man's words, at least on the surface, but the tone and demeanor of his voice were clearly portraying Hermione as a bully.

But that's all, Hermione didn't refute anything, but wanted to continue to hear what the master and servant were trying to say by this kind of coquettish appearance.

And soon, I saw the old man saying:

“…… Actually, it's nothing, my life is not worth mentioning. However, Miss Granger not only refused to let me carry out the orders of the head of the house, but also bluntly said that she would meddle in the affairs of the young master and this woman - you know, the head of the family had already given a death order many years ago, and he said that he did not want to hear of this woman named Emily DeQuinn by the young master's side again. ”

"Erich," and when the old man said this, Edward suddenly turned his head and glared at his son, and said coldly, "You won't come over to me?" ”

“……”

Erich looked at his majestic father in a daze, and only felt the pressure on his heart soar. He could feel the warmth and strength of Dequinn's grip on his palm, but even then, it was much more difficult for him to say no to his father's orders.

Sitting there in silence like this, holding hands with Dequinn and motionless, was already the limit of what he could do at the moment.

Hermione and Maxim watched from the side, and their hearts were naturally very complicated - they couldn't even understand that Erich was too old to refute his father's words.

"What kind of family is this Brandt family!"

Hermione shook her head, and was about to say something, when she heard Erich's father suddenly change his mind:

"By the way, Miss Granger...... I don't really want to be so direct, but I have to say, please don't interfere in our family's family affairs anymore. It's not worth your time—as far as I know, England has been overrun by Helpo, and Mr. McLean and you are probably preparing for a counter-offensive...... At such a critical time, I really don't understand why you're doing all this thing. ”

At this point, he suddenly shrugged his shoulders, and then finally sighed and said:

"And...... Nowadays, all kinds of accidents are one after another, and that 'evil' ancient dark wizard is really unguardable when he takes action. If anything prevents you from fighting him, it will be really bad...... Miss Granger, don't you say? ”

If the previous few sentences were still negotiations on the issue of "family affairs", then this last remark is a subtle message of warning.

And judging by the performance of the Brandt family so far, this threat is not false. If Hermione didn't let go now, they probably really dared to do something in Hermione and the others' actions against Helmo.

However......

"Mr. Brandt, do you know? The last thing Maca likes is that someone threatens him. ”
