Chapter 2047: Cowardice

Willy came, inexplicably and suddenly; Then Willie walked away again, calmly and naturally.

It's as if she never cared what other people thought of her.

Seeing that the old butler quickly followed behind Willy, the two of them left from the door one after the other, and they didn't even forget to take the door with them. Maxim and Miss Brandt, who were still sitting on the sofa, could not help but be silent for a long time, and then the former finally sighed slightly.

"Yes! Scared...... Isn't it? Madame Maxim shook her head and said, "It's a shame to say, but it's a fact. ”

That's right, in the face of this earth-shattering disaster, Maxim, of course, was afraid. Especially after watching Maca and Helmo perform well in such a long confrontation and still inevitably retreat, she believes that the people who are terrified must have made up the majority today.

She's just one of them.

However, as the head of Beauxbatons, she is responsible for all her actions for the teachers and students of the entire school. Forging a defiance alliance with Hermione while carrying a heavy responsibility, and helping Hermione gather as many people as she could when the front line needed combat power, was the limit of what she could do.

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

However, judging by what the Brandt family has done so far, it is of a completely different nature. Even if they have joined the Alliance, they have become a member of it, and have provided some combat power with other member forces. But relatively speaking, they have clearly not done enough to stop this catastrophe.

Not only that, but they had even secretly incited some members and co-opted other forces in order to take advantage of the opportunity when the alliance's rebellion was at a low point to prepare for their own self-protection in the next disaster.

And now, even if he wants to bow his head and ask for help, he has not forgotten to use some crooked brains, and specially sent a young girl who has just become an adult to negotiate, in order to win sympathy and gain an advantage.

It's no wonder that this style of behavior is unpleasant.

Maxim...... Madam? ”

While Maxim was deeply ashamed and helpless, Miss Brandt, who was sitting across from her, was obviously a little dumbfounded by Willy's undisguised words.

After a moment, she couldn't help but look at Maxim and whispered again.

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

"I-"

The other party opened his mouth a little sneeringly, but he still lowered his head and shook it gently.

"No, nothing."

Today, she was chosen by the head of the family and sent to find a breakthrough in Madame Maxim, whose task was supposed to be for Maxim to lobby the Blois family on her behalf.

Who knows, just now the people from the Blois family came, but it seemed to turn out that they were "ridiculed" by the other party - Willie definitely didn't mean that, but to her side, the words just now were no different from teasing and sarcasm.

And then what's more important is that after talking to Willie, after saying a few words, she actually walked away so neatly! From beginning to end, she didn't even leave any chance to speak.

What's next? She didn't know it anymore.

But in any case, you can't just go back in vain, right? If that were the case, once the enemy invaded the northern borders of Germany, the head of the family would have to arrange her to be among the first group of "death" troops!

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

After thinking about it so secretly for a while, I saw that this Miss Brandt suddenly raised her head again, looked at Madame Maxim opposite, and said, somewhat pitifully:

"Madame, I thought for a moment, and felt that what Miss Blois had just said was indeed true. In the face of calamity, it was because we were too cowardly that the enemy finally began to unscrupulously expand the 'victory'. If we can be proactive, it may be more effective than passive defense! ”

"So," she paused for a moment, then continued, "I have decided to do everything in my power to convince the elders of my family to transfer our forces, which are currently being prepared at Camp Granger, to Denmark as well!" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing her suddenly say these "highly enlightened" words, Maxim couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"This ...... Well, maybe! ”

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

I saw the young lady of the Brandt family following closely and said:

"So...... Ma'am, can you please put me in touch with that Miss Granger? Because although some of the coalition forces are indeed sent by our family, they are still nominally managed and dispatched by the alliance. To transfer them to Denmark, I think it will be necessary to go through Miss Granger, and it will certainly not be good to transfer them back without permission. ”

At present, the matter of Hermione and her going to Devon County, of course, many forces within the alliance already know. And with the intelligence channels of the Brandt family, it will certainly not be unclear.

At this time, she mentioned contacting Hermione, it must be because she saw that there was no hope of seeking help from the Blois family anymore, so she simply wanted to shift her focus and focus on Hermione and them.

It's a pity that now that Hermione and the others are in the Burrow, even if Maxim wants to contact them, it will have to wait for them to take the initiative to provide a contact channel first.

Miss Brandt's caution would not work, I am afraid.

"Yes," said Madame Maxim, shaking her head, "it is certainly very touching that Miss Brandt could have such thoughts. Unfortunately, Miss Granger and the others are so deep in the enemy that it's hard for us to get in touch. ”

After saying this first, she paused slightly, but then added:

"But that's all right—Miss Brandt, if you're serious about sending someone to Denmark to save the Danish people with Miss Blois, I can help you contact Mr. Bill Weasley at Camp Granger. Now, he's just as capable of mobilizing coalition forces on Miss Granger's behalf—just like Mr. Percy Weasley! And...... Judging from the report documents sent by Camp Granger recently, it seems that the coalition forces have almost recuperated, and now is the time! ”

Miss Brandt did not expect that she would be surrounded by Madame Maxim when she mentioned this.

But it's no wonder she's still young after all, and she's not really good at this kind of negotiation. Once she deviated from the script plan set for her by the family, she immediately showed her timidity.
