"Shut up!"

When Maca arrogantly questioned the Werther family's education and ordered them to hand over Charlotte, the middle-aged wizard who had been suppressed seemed to have finally endured it to the limit.

That's right, the same wizard who was thrown by Maca into his plate.

"Charlotte is my daughter, and I won't allow you to insult her! It's impossible to give her to you like this."

"Norman, it's you who should be shut ......up," the old master suddenly said calmly, "I have long warned you not to be overly arrogant to your daughter...... Not only did she let her go to Hogwarts and disgrace her surname, but she also resisted her first marriage to the Augustinian family last year, which made our whole family lose face......"

"But......" said Charlotte's father, standing to his feet, clenching his fists tightly and trembling, "father...... Charlotte is your granddaughter too......"

"Of course I know," said the old man, still calm, as he just looked at his son with a blank expression, "Charlotte is my granddaughter and a member of the family...... Not only did I not blame her for her weak magical talent, but I even gave Charlotte such a great honor! ”

"The first marriage with the Augustinian family! Do you understand what that means? The old master suddenly raised his voice and questioned his unsuccessful son.

“…… It means that the rift of nearly a thousand years can be erased and the state of power that was combined with the power of the past can be restored. Charlotte's father, Norman Witt, hung his head and replied weakly.

The old master snorted coldly, and then turned his gaze to Maca again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Diher," he said with an apologetic nod...... "As I mentioned, Charlotte is now betrothed to the Augustinians, you see......"

As soon as Maca heard it, she understood that the old fox had obviously deliberately lured out the marriage contract by reprimanding Charlotte's father.

As for his purpose......

One is to remind Marka that Charlotte is now under a marriage contract with the Augustinian family, which involves the interests of the two ancient families; The second is to avoid any conflict with the Dihr family, so he took such great pains to explain the situation from the side.

"Huh?" Maca frowned and said, "Didn't you resist marriage last year?" Why, wasn't the marriage contract dissolved? Can it be delayed until this year? ”

"Yes...... Charlotte's fiancé seems to care about her and does not voluntarily abandon the marriage because of her refusal. The old man replied calmly.

It's a bit complicated, but there are things that work in your favor.

He had deliberately thrown the half of the chicken leg because he recognized it at a glance, Charlotte's father had seen it at the McMillan family's ball.

And now, the other party seems to have recognized him, and he has already taken the initiative to cooperate with him to act just now, not to mention, his acting skills are no worse than Snape!

Of course, if he continues to turn his face, although it won't be unnatural, after all, the people of the Dihr family are not normal. But when the time comes, maybe you have to really start a fight......

What kind of magic is the Werther family, he hasn't even tried it out yet! Seriously, he didn't want to do it rashly.

"Hmph...... Hmph......" Maca thought for a moment, and then laughed instead, "If you give her to me, you will have trouble with the Augustinians; If you don't give it to me, you'll get into trouble with me...... What are you going to do? Mr. Witt? ”

He smiled strangely, as if he was watching a good show, and his bad taste was revealed.

"Mr. Diher, though I don't know what happened to you and Charlotte...... I think you see how it ......," said the old man with a smile, "I asked Charlotte to come out and apologize to you, and to give you a generous apology...... How about this matter being written off? ”

He smiled and said, "It's really not worth it to be angry for a little girl, isn't it?" ”

Maca narrowed her eyes with a hint of danger.

In just an instant, the old master stared at Maca. It can be seen that he is always on guard, and if Maca really makes a move, he will fight back as soon as possible.

However, Maca only looked at him for a moment, and that was it.

"In that case, let her out first! I'm going to see her attitude and decide whether I should sell your face or not......"

With that, Maca sat back in her chair and tore off the other chicken leg and nibbled on it. For a while, his mouth was full of oil, which made everyone feel relieved and irritable again.

“…… Norman, go and bring Charlotte down. The old master tilted his head and gestured to Charlotte's father.

He hesitated for a moment, then nodded silently and walked quickly away from the table.

……

For the members of the Werther family, the night was boring and aggrieved, and they had to get up from the soft and comfortable bed to face a disgusting creature like Maca, who writes "noble" but reads "bastard".

But for Charlotte, everything in the outside world doesn't seem to matter that much.

All she could do was sit on the edge of the bed and look at the dark "sky" outside the window.

She didn't want to sleep, because it would drain the last bit of free time in her life in the unknown sleep.

So she just sits, humbly and stubbornly.

She was going to spend the last little bit of time digging a hole in her heart, putting in all the happy memories she had had so far, and burying them deeply.

"Tuk Tuk"

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Charlotte reflexively raised her head, but her eyes were empty and blank.

"Tuk Tuk"

The knocking on the door did not stop, but became more urgent...... And in the midst of that knock at the door, my father's voice rang out.

"Lottie open the door! Lottie! ”

Charlotte finally came to her senses, she was stunned, and then walked to the door, trying to reach for it.

"Alaho Cave Open!"

With a soft click, the door was pushed open from the outside by Charlotte's father. Then he walked briskly into the room and quickly closed the door.

"Listen, Lottie!" Her father said with a serious face, "Lottie, you must get out of here!" Dad got it...... Whether it sends you to the Augustinian family, or to someone else, it's the same...... Dad can't let you just bury your life's happiness for this cold-blooded family! ”

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized money bag from the pocket of his robe and shoved it into his daughter's hand.

"Take this...... Take advantage of this opportunity to leave the family! As long as you go back to Hogwarts and find a way to stay there, the family can't blatantly arrest you back......"

"But......" Charlotte clutched the purse tightly, but could not move at all, "Father...... Come with me, or ......"

"I'm not leaving." Her father shook his head firmly, "Your mother is buried here, so I won't go anywhere else...... But you have to go! Your grandfather won't do anything to me, I'm his son after all......"

He said decisively and simply, but in fact, for his most useless son, what would the old family owner do to him?

This is already obvious.

"Father!" Charlotte stubbornly said, "If you don't go, I won't go...... What's going on? Why did you suddenly change your mind? ”

"There's not that much time to explain...... Lottie! You've got to listen to me! ”

"Father!"

Norman took a deep breath, and finally explained: "You should have noticed that a guest came just now in the commotion, and his family background is extraordinary, and he specified that he wants the family to hand you over to him......"

"Who? Why do you want me? Charlotte's face darkened, and she said angrily, "Is it my face that is to blame again?" ”

"Uh...... No, it shouldn't be ......," Norman thought for a moment, "he seems to have met you at Hogwarts...... His name is 'Makatihull'...... No, it should have been something else at Hogwarts......"

"Maca?"

While her father was still struggling with whether to start from scratch, Charlotte cried out in surprise.

"What? He was also called that at Hogwarts? Norman was stunned for a moment.

"Father, don't you remember?" Charlotte hurriedly said, "It's Marca McKellen!" You also saw him at that ball at McMillan's house......"

"The McMillan's prom?" Norman frowned slightly, but suddenly said, "Oh! Is that the boy? I remember you complimented him...... Well? Is it ......?"

"All in all," said Charlotte categorically, "father, if that's Maca, then don't bear it."

She was halfway through her sentence, but she immediately paused.

If it's maca, then what? Even if he can deceive everyone in the family with other identities, the fact that he marries the Augustinian family is inevitable for the family.

On the contrary, because of his own affairs, he let his junior brother take the risk of coming here. What if the younger brother is in any danger because of this...... I'm afraid she won't be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

No, it's not!

It's too late to think about this now, and it's better to ...... than regret not making it clear to him here

"Father, I'm going to see him!" Charlotte suddenly showed a determined expression, looking very similar to her own father just now.

After explaining it to her father, she ignored his father's obstruction and walked resolutely towards the side hall downstairs.

However, when Maca saw Charlotte and Norman appear at the door of the side hall, it was as if a thousand trolls were running through him.

Such a great opportunity, why not run? When the time comes, I'll take you to hide, and no one will find it!

But when Maca then saw that Charlotte's father was looking at his face with a hint of surprise, he knew it......

"It turned out that it wasn't acting just now, hey!"
