Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 1787: Unfulfilled promise
"Erich! You...you promised to marry me!"
Perhaps because the shock of being ignored by the one he loved was too great, De Quinn, who had been silent for a long time and stunned for a long time, suddenly broke out.
It was her almost thoughtless words that finally broke Erich's defenses completely, making it difficult for him to maintain the superficial composure.
He looked at De Quinn who stood up abruptly and looked directly at him, feeling a little lost for a while.
Yes, of course Erich still remembers that he was at the LeMay fountain in Boothbarton when he personally made a promise to enter the marriage hall to DeQueen himself. And he remembered how the beautiful De Quinn was shy and moving at that time.
However, it turns out that although some old stories are clichéd, it is precisely because they are being played out in this world in almost every age.
Erich knew this at the beginning. He knew that those old stubborns who were pure-blooded and powerful in the family would definitely not agree to marry DeQueen. Not only can't marry, even if those elders know that they are with DeQueen, the latter may still be life-threatening.
Because in the paranoid thinking of those old guys, any in-depth communication between him and De Quinn would tarnish the "pure blood" of their Brandt family.
Hmph, sometimes Erich would wonder if he was born in this family as a "human". He only cares about the purity of blood in everything... Isn't this a breeding of cattle?
So, when Erich decided not to marry DeQueen, he actually planned to fight the entire Brandt family to the end.
Yes, Erich is an amazingly talented magic genius, and he also knows that he has magical powers that ordinary people can't match. Growing up and progressing all the way, he had reached the level of an ordinary graduate in the fourth grade. When he graduated from Boothbarton, he was even better than the Auror of the Ministry of Magic.
But what he didn't expect was that it was good for him to have talent, and he could even be called a genius wizard. However, his "genius" was far from enough to silence everyone in the Brandt family.
Actually, Erich’s uncle, who had asked to stop them halfway, was not a good person, but Erich has loved his little nephew since he was a child. In order to keep Erich from being punished, and at the same time to keep Erich from being too sad, he took someone out and sent DeQueen back home.
If an old guy in the family came out, De Quinn would have exposed the corpse wilderness back then!
For this reason, Erich, who was young and enraged at the time, didn't understand his uncle's kindness, and couldn't help but fight when the other party ordered someone to send De Quinn away.
After he was defeated by his uncle, he realized that he had been sought after by others since he was a child, and he was not at home at all...Even his uncle could defeat him by himself, let alone those in the family. For the powerful older generation.
At the same time, he personally frustrated his nephew's vigorous uncle, and then sat down and had a good chat with Erich.
Erich still clearly remembers what the other party said:
"Erich, I don't want you to forget that girl, but you have to remember that if you refuse to let go, she will die sooner or later, and your attachment will eventually become her only cause of death. And you... at least the current you, it is impossible to keep her."
Erich was persuaded after all, the kind of dissatisfaction.
To this day, he is still working hard, looking forward to the day when he becomes the head of the Brandt family. He naturally knew that De Quinn had never been married, just like him, so he still didn't give up.
Unfortunately, the grandfather of Erich, the old patriarch of the Brandt family, is surprisingly healthy and long-lived. He still sits firmly on the main seat for decades.
Obviously, even his father, who is the most capable of the previous generation, has not yet become the head of the family, so when and how long should he take his turn?
"...Emily."
For a while, Erich subconsciously called out Ms. De Quinn’s name, and he was immersed in the melancholy memories, as if he had changed back to the young man he was when he was young.
However, he couldn't help himself that year, and his current situation has not changed.
"Master."
Suddenly, a cold voice came in horizontally. That voice seemed to be accompanied by the cold and low temperature in the ice cellar, causing Ms. De Quinn to shiver, and at the same time, she also woke up the tranced Erich.
"Master, so...Is this Miss Emily De Quinn?"
"No, she is not! You heard it wrong, she is not, she has nothing to do with me, just now she was talking crazy there!"
"Hmm, is it? But...Master, although I am old, I am not stupid yet."
Before speaking, a figure slowly walked out from the corner of the living room. Yes, it was the corner where Hermione had noticed the change before.
"It really is a member of this Erich family."
Hermione frowned slightly as she looked at the pacing old wizard in a gray robe.
This old man is not easy at first glance, his expressionless cold face, his unhurried posture with his slightly drooping eyelids, and his habitual movements that seem to be holding the handle of the wand in his sleeve~IndoMTL.com~Everything Shows his well-tested past.
"Master, since you have nothing to do with her, why should you protect her?"
When Hermione heard the other person's words, she turned her head slightly again and looked at Erich. Sure enough, at this moment, the other party had already occupied the front of Ms. De Quinn, using his own body to block between her and the old man.
And Hermione even discovered that Erich seemed to be unable to restrain himself from trying to touch her waist, but gave up this behavior again and again.
"This...Isn't this worrying about you doing it at will, I am very clear about your temper when you don't agree with it!" Erich pursed his lips, and said with a composure, "You need to know, this This lady is the Minister of Magic in Belgium, so you must not be rude and go back soon!"
"Belgium?"
When the old man heard the words, he shook his head, obviously disdainful of the name. But after a short pause, he still said indifferently:
"Also... I'm sorry everyone, I was rude. But, master, it should be okay to do it to you, right? You know, you are making a mistake, I have to take you back to the family to accept the Patriarch Punishment... This is my Brandt’s family affair, so I won’t bother you to interfere."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man started again, and he drew his wand out of his sleeve and walked towards Erich step by step.
"Master, please don't resist. This is an unwise behavior. The Patriarch loves you very much. I believe you won't be punished too severely. Don't worry!"
Erich looked at each other, hesitated, and closed his eyes after all.
