Chapter 2046 "You Are Scared"
In fact, the old housekeeper is not very clear about why Willy has clearly said before that he doesn't like the Brandt family, but after he briefly talked about the attack on Denmark, he chooses to come to the side hall .
But he knew very well that as long as Willie didn't want to talk, it would definitely be useless to ask.
So... yeah, since Willy was going, he just had to follow. Anyway, even if Mr. Blois was here, he would definitely follow Willie's opinion. Of course, the old butler could see this very clearly.
Therefore, when the two went to the side hall on the first floor of Beauxbaton Castle, not only Madam Maxim was puzzled, but even the old housekeeper didn't know more than her.
Of course, everything obviously does not prevent them from continuing this conversation.
"Miss Brandt," Maxim said with a slight gesture, "this is the heir of the Blois family, the only daughter of the head of the Blois family—Miss Willie Blois. Then... well, she The old gentleman behind me probably doesn't need any extra introduction from me."
Because Willie has basically never shown her face to outsiders since she was a child, the other families know that the head of the Blois family has a daughter, but most of them have never seen it with their own eyes.
However, this is clearly the case in the past.
In recent years, because of Maca's activity and Mr. Blois's frequent expeditions in person, some of Willie's movements have already been included in the scope of intelligence collection by various forces. Just like staying in Beauxbatons temporarily this time, many pairs of eyes have already focused on her location.
"Of course," the timid Miss Brandt opposite heard this, she couldn't help but glanced at Willy and the old housekeeper, and then said softly, "Of course I know Mr. Blois Housekeeper—at the age of fourteen Afterwards, my father allowed me to attend several important dances and ceremonies, and I saw Mr. Housekeeper from a distance. But... Miss Blois, good morning! This should be our... first meeting, right?"
"Well?"
When this Miss Brandt spoke, Willie seemed to be only looking at her and thinking about things, and didn't listen too carefully.
"Oh, is it so?"
Willie really doesn't know if she has met the other party, because she has never paid much attention to others. Compared with people, plants are obviously more interesting to her.
But when others take the initiative to talk to her, she will still take it seriously-this is one of the few teachings my mother had when I was a child.
"Good morning,
happy to see you. "
Willie replied so politely, although when she responded like this, there was not even a trace of "happiness" on her delicate face.
And when the voice fell slightly, Willie continued:
"Miss Brandt, regarding Denmark, do you know what your family plans to do next?"
It must be said that her somewhat abrupt question made the other three present feel a little puzzled. Including the old butler, no one understood what she wanted to know.
Are you asking about the Brandt family's defense plan in the face of an impending disaster? Or, in fact, they wanted to test whether the Brandt family would choose to run away?
Or... In fact, they were teasing the Brandt family, sending a girl not much older than her to ask for help right now?
It was precisely because she didn't know Willie well that she was not sure how far she had thought in her mind. And this, in a purposeful negotiation, is often the cause of self-disruption.
"I... our family, just want to ask the Resistance Alliance and your family to lend a helping hand to us in this crisis." Miss Brandt pursed her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, she slowly Honestly, "As for the others... it should be just some preventive preparations within our capabilities."
However, Willie couldn't help tilting her head when she heard her say that. That expression, on the contrary, seemed even more confused than her.
"Your family wants us to help? Why?" Surprise gradually appeared on her face, "Isn't Denmark the one that is suffering disaster now? Shouldn't we help them as much as possible first?"
These few questions from Willie can be said to go deep into the soul.
In fact, Willie's idea couldn't be simpler—where there is a catastrophe, there is need for help, and where the enemy attacks, there is resistance.
Isn't this the principle that the Resistance Alliance should adhere to the most? Otherwise, what is this group that has assembled so many forces "resisting"?
There is no doubt that Hermione's intentions when creating this alliance are absolutely correct. Even if many things are still beyond her power, so that her approach may be frustrated in the face of cruel reality, no one can say that she is doing something wrong.
However, just because Hermione is right doesn't mean everyone else is right.
Maxim's vision is actually not short-sighted, but her focus is always on the safety of the Beauxbaton School of Magic, which is doomed to her being unable to look at the whole disaster selflessly.
Similarly, the old housekeeper of Blois must have always focused on the owner, lady and the family, and the resistance alliance was at most just a tool on his side.
Apart from the two of them, there is no need to mention the other members of the alliance. Just like the Brandt family, almost the vast majority of them only care about sweeping the door.
An excessively large gap in combat power will make people choose to give up. There are countless examples of flying separately when disaster is imminent.
Now that the Danish disaster broke out, and Hermione, who was the most active and selfless among the leaders of the alliance, was temporarily absent, and almost everyone else chose to take a step back in unison.
Yes, in the face of the Danish incident, taking a step back will definitely make more room for resistance. But what about when the disaster spreads further from Denmark? Will everyone really be able to prepare enough power to resist each other?
This war is not about sitting on both sides of the chessboard and playing a game of wizard chess. Even if you are at a comprehensive disadvantage, it is impossible to admit defeat and start over from scratch. If you don't work hard, the result will only be an even uglier death.
It's a pity that there are many people who understand this, but there are not many people who can really risk their lives.
Looking at the Miss Brandt who was sitting there in a daze, Willie waited for a while, but finally she blinked her eyes in a daze and said:
"Oh... are you scared? Well, it's okay, our Bulova family is not afraid!"
After finishing speaking, she stood up resolutely, beckoned to the old butler beside her and said:
"Let's go! We have to inform father! Also, isn't there still a lot of people from our family at Granger's camp? There are Hermione and the others in England, so... we should be transferred to Denmark now."
