first wizarding world war.

Chapter 164 Brotherhood

Charlotte was very enthusiastic towards her brother and his wife. As far as I can remember, whenever Charlotte was short of money and wanted to ask her brother for money, she would always show this enthusiasm.

Mycroft Mecklen was actually quite strict in front of his younger brother, but before he set out, he had heard that his younger brother was already a 32nd-rank second-level clerk, and it was Baron Feberley who personally announced that he was already a "big shot", so it was inevitable that he felt a little reserved.

Although the couple were taken to Mostar Castle, they had no chance to meet any of the nobles. Charlotte was actually the highest-ranking imperial official Mycroft Mecklen had ever met.

When he did business, he inevitably had to deal with local officials. Those officials who could make him humble and cautious were probably insignificant in the eyes of his younger brother.

It was Winnie who spoke first, "Charlotte, your brother was taken to Mostar Castle. I heard that you actually led troops to fight. I have been worried about you, too. Have you suffered any hardship? Are you injured?"

Winnie, Charlotte's sister-in-law, has always been good to her. She even introduced her own sister to him as his fiancée. She also took good care of him on a daily basis. Even when Charlotte was in school, Winnie gave him some pocket money.

This made Charlotte give face to her sister-in-law no matter what. She smiled gently and said, "I'm fine."

He fought in so many battles, but he was hardly ever injured. He was never injured in various duels, assassinations, and street fights. It was quite magical.

Charlotte thought for a moment and asked, "What do you want?"

"There may still be war outside the city. It will be dangerous."

Mycroft Mecklen hesitated. "It is the nobles who wish me to invite you to the city for a few balls in celebration."

Charlotte smiled. Two dukes and dukes had just died, and Mostar Castle had been captured by Lady Nansera, but Hughes had retreated again. These nobles did not want to strengthen the military, but were anxious to hold a ball?
It's very aristocratic.

Living a life of drunkenness and dreams is their specialty.

Charlotte also knew why so many nobles invited her. They were all afraid of another war, and she, Charlotte Mecklen, was a strong guarantee of her safety.

After all, he did fight Lady Southera.

Moreover, just during the day, outside the city of Mostar, in front of everyone, the famous rebel Zolman was killed, and the rebellious Yugoslav Restoration Army was defeated.

But Charlotte absolutely didn't want to hang out with them, as these nobles couldn't provide him with any help in his job.

Although Charlotte was born in the Principality of Behemoth, she had a very obvious imprint of the Fars Empire. She graduated from the University of Sheffield, one of the four universities in the empire. After graduation, she worked in the Central Government Office, then went to Kilmainham Prison as a clerk, and then transferred to the Lucavaro District Patrol Army as a chief patrol...

Although he was a political idiot, he knew that he had to keep as much distance as possible from the nobles of the Principality of Behemoth in order to avoid being suspected by the central government.

As for returning to serve in the Principality of Behemoth, Charlotte had never thought about it. What future could Behemoth have? His family was a merchant family and could not provide a political background at all. In Behemoth, where the local nobles were strong, he could only be a dog and could not be a decent person.

Of course, Charlotte would not tell her brother and sister-in-law about this. She just replied, "I am affiliated with the Military Affairs Knights' Department of the Central Government Office. Without an order from Strasbourg, I cannot enter Mostar Castle." "You see, I missed my father and you so much that I didn't dare to enter Mostar Castle, let alone to attend the ball."

Mycroft Mecklen was speechless. He knew that Charlotte was not telling the truth. How could people from Mostarburg and Strasbourg know that he had been to the city?
To lighten the mood, Winnie interrupted and asked, "How is Sylvie? She went to Strasbourg and hasn't written to me since."

Charlotte smiled and said, "Sylvie is doing well. She chose to be a female detective and joined the Cat Detective Agency, one of the seven largest detective agencies in Strasbourg. I also know their president, Vinnie Arseno. She is a very remarkable high-level extraordinary person who runs a successful detective business. Sylvie will have a bright future under her."

Winnie sighed and said, "I always thought you two would be together, but did you cancel your engagement in the end?"

Charlotte nodded. Sylvie must have written home and told her about this matter. He didn't want to hide it. Although Sylvie was a very good girl, Anne was obviously better.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help feeling a little melancholy. Damn Hughes for talking nonsense about what happened in the past. She didn't know if Aunt Karen would know about it.

He had never thought that the Count would investigate him. After all, he and Anne were "not even close", and even on Earth, there were not many companies that would do background checks seriously, let alone the Old Continent?

Charlotte still has hope...

Especially since the Earl asked Sister Karen to protect him, Charlotte misjudged the love of a father for his daughter and the favor of the god of luck to him.

One underestimated, the other overestimated.

Charlotte accompanied her brother and sister-in-law, had a simple meal in the military carriage, and then saw them off. Before leaving, she gave her brother and sister-in-law a gift, a military carriage.

This carriage was a shipment of supplies sent by the Military Logistics Department of the Central Government Office to the patrol troops in the Lucavaro District. It had a clean origin and would not cause any trouble. He only needed to file a combat loss report to settle the account.

Charlotte's family actually had an old carriage, which was old-fashioned and small, mainly used to transport goods, and was very uncomfortable to sit in. He had heard Winnie complain to her brother that she wanted to buy a new carriage, but her brother always thought it was too expensive. Although the family could afford it, the old carriage could still be used. He told his sister-in-law Winnie several times that they would replace the carriage in a few years.

The carriage that Charlotte chose was of very good quality and used military draft horses, which were quite young, only eight years old.

Mycroft and his wife were very happy. In fact, although they felt that they had a clear conscience towards their brother, they were not sure whether Charlotte would bear any resentment. They even worried that Charlotte would want to take revenge on them after she became successful.

Although Charlotte's attitude could not be described as very intimate, she showed respect to her brother and sister-in-law, and the carriage was a sign of goodwill. On the way back to Mostar Castle, Winnie said, "I still think that Sylvie and Charlotte are a good match."

"Before you thought that Charlotte was too promiscuous and couldn't run a family, but how well is Charlotte doing now?"

"I want to write a letter to persuade Sylvie that what Charlotte did when she was young is not unforgivable."

"You won't let me do that?" suddenly occurred to Mycroft MacLennan.
