Chapter 1790 Maca's Least Favorite
Who is Miss Granger? This question is obviously redundant.
First of all, Mrs. Maxim is very recognizable. Her tall figure and her reputation are not small, so it is really hard to recognize her. As for the old butler, in the past, he took part in many important affairs of the Bulova family on behalf of Willy's father, and there was no reason why the other party didn't know each other.
So besides Ms. De Quinn, who was always next to Erich at this moment, there was only one woman he didn't know very well.
"Presumably this is Miss Hermione Granger." The person walked up to everyone step by step, then stopped for a while and said, "My ineffective son seems to have caused you a lot of trouble. As a father , I'm afraid I have to apologize to everyone on his behalf."
"Father?"
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Erich. Seeing him nodding his head with difficulty, different expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
Ms. De Quinn, in particular, had never actually met Erich's father back then, and she was always wondering what it would be like to meet him.
But I didn't expect that after many years, I finally saw it now.
"Oh! I forgot to introduce myself in a hurry. It's really rude." Seeing the majestic wizard, he nodded slightly and said, "Edward von Brandt, the first heir of the Brandt family, greetings to everyone gone."
In the Brandt family, the position of head of the family is not inherited by the eldest son. Although the order of seniority is also considered, the most important thing is talent and ability.
The Brandt family has a round of competitions every five years, and brothers and sisters in the heir sequence can participate. In addition to routine duels, there are various assessments and competitions, and even the performance and gains during the five-year period will be included in the items for comparison one by one.
And perhaps it is precisely because of such strict and strict family rules that the Brandt family, which is slightly inferior to other families in terms of historical inheritance, can sit firmly at the top of the German magic world all year round.
Therefore, Erich's father's ability is indeed real, and he does have reason to take out the title of "first heir" to show his pride when introducing himself to others.
Although, the only person here who really understands its meaning is probably his son Erich... Oh, and maybe the old housekeeper who knows the affairs of these families is also included.
Of course, whether she knew about these things or not, Hermione's attitude towards this matter would definitely not change today.
"Hello, Mr. Brandt, yes, I'm Hermione Granger." She nodded, "As for Erich... don't mention it for now, at least he didn't cause me any trouble, That's for sure. Therefore, I don't think you need to apologize to me."
"Well, is it?" Edward spread his hands, "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 kind of politeness from Miss Granger .”
Just as he was talking, he waved his hand suddenly, and said coldly:
"Hans, since Steward Blois and Mrs. Maxim are here, why don't you repeat what you reported to me. If you let me know that there is half a lie, you will go to the owner and kill yourself Take the blame! You know, this Miss Granger, who is acting on behalf of Mr. Macle McClain, is something you can easily slander?"
"Old Hans doesn't dare to slander anyone!" The gray-robed old man quickly stepped forward and said respectfully, "Just now, I just followed the Patriarch's instructions and wanted to punish the young master who violated the Patriarch's order. But ...But this Miss Granger suddenly intervened in the family affairs of my Brandt family, cast a terrible ancient magic on me, and almost made me lose this old life!"
At least on the surface, there is nothing wrong with each of the old man's words.
But seeing his tone of voice, he was clearly portraying Hermione as a villain who bullied the weak.
But that's all, Hermione didn't refute anything, but wanted to continue to hear what the master and servant were trying to say with this hypocritical appearance.
And soon, I saw the old man borrowing:
"...Actually, it's nothing. My life is not worth mentioning at all. However, Miss Granger not only refused to let me carry out the Patriarch's order, but also bluntly said that she would intervene in the matter between the young master and this woman, you know, The Patriarch has already given the death order many years ago, and the old man expressed that he does not want to hear that this woman named Emily DeQuinn appears by the young master's side again."
"Erich," when the old man said this, Edward suddenly turned his head and glared at his son, and said coldly, "won't you come here?"
"..."
Erich stared blankly at his majestic father, feeling the pressure in his heart surge. He could feel the warmth and strength of De Quinn's hold on his palm, but even so, it was even more difficult for him to refuse his father's order.
Sitting there in silence like this, holding hands with De Quinn, this is already the limit of what he can do so far.
Hermione, Maxim and the others watched from the side, their hearts were naturally very complicated and they even found it difficult to understand, this Erich is not young, and he couldn't even 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 turn around:
"By the way, Miss Granger... Although I don't really want to be so direct, I still have to say, please stop interfering in our family affairs. This trivial matter is not worth your precious time to explain As far as I know, Britain has already been occupied by Hai Erbo, and Mr. McLean and you should be preparing to counterattack... At such a critical moment, I really don't understand why you are still doing these things?"
At this point, he shrugged suddenly, and finally sighed:
"And... all kinds of accidents today are one after another, and the 'evil' ancient black wizard is really unpredictable. If something delays your actions against him, it will be really bad ...Miss Granger, don't you think so?"
If the previous few sentences were still negotiating on the issue of "family affairs", then these last remarks were implicitly conveying a sense of warning.
And judging from the performance of the Brandt family so far, this threat is not false. If Hermione didn't let go right now, they might really dare to do something in Hermione's and others' actions against Hai Erbo.
However……
"Mr. Brandt, do you know? What Maca dislikes the most is that someone threatens him."
