"Under your subtle influence, you've made everyone unconsciously accept a setting you've created: you're mine, or rather, you're my girlfriend? I have to say, you really did a good job calculating. When the prefect challenged me, you knew when to quit, letting others see how strong you are while also giving me face. According to the theory that the strong always get stronger, everyone will assume that whoever stays by my side must be the strongest!"
"After that, you challenged the Weasley twins and presented to everyone the impression that you were sworn to defend me to the death! You solidified your role as my spokesperson. You know I'm young, and although I consider myself quite intelligent, I'd be able to detect even the most common conspiracies. So you simply identified what you believed to be my weakest point, which is my age! No matter how smart I am, I'm still very young, and I know very little about matters between men and women. You seized on this perceived weakness and began to build your own persona! Charlotte, you're truly clever!"
To be honest, Charlotte's plan is really good.
There is a saying that goes, men conquer the world, and women can achieve the same by conquering men.
Let me give you a simple example.
Two people, Wu Zetian and Catherine.
They are all women, and their eventual great achievements required the care of those in power at the beginning.
This is the path that Charlotte took, if she had confirmed this character.
No matter how much success Alvin achieves or how many supporters he gets in the future, these people will obey Charlotte.
Because in their opinion, Charlotte is Erwin's spokesperson, everything is said by Erwin, and Charlotte is just an executor and messenger.
This is called Machiavellianism.
To put it bluntly, if Erwin dies one day.
Charlotte can directly take over Erwin's power and do many things under the pretext of revenge for Erwin.
After Erwin finished speaking.
Charlotte's face was expressionless.
The expression of reverence that he had been pretending to have was gone.
Charlotte said, "I've overestimated you as much as I could, but I still underestimated you! Erwin, you're truly amazing. I'm the loser."
Erwin said, "So, are you planning to reveal your true identity?"
Charlotte laughed and said, "You are so smart, why don't you try to guess it!"
Erwin gently lifted Charlotte's chin with his wand.
"Interesting! Now that you mention it, I really want to make a guess! Actually, if it were before today, I might not have been able to confirm your identity, but coincidentally, I learned about the Eight Great Families today!"
Charlotte's pupils shrank slightly.
Erwin noticed this detail.
I understand it in my heart.
Then, he pointed the wand in his hand directly at Charlotte's shoulder.
Then, the magic power turned into a sharp blade.
Charlotte's wizard robe was cut open, revealing Charlotte's shoulders.
Charlotte had no intention of resisting and just stood there quietly.
Erwin looked at Charlotte's shoulder, and sure enough, there was a red lotus mark there.
Erwin said: "It seems that your identity is about to be revealed!"
Charlotte said, "I'm curious, how did you know that?"
Erwin said, "What? Your Lotus Mark? Don't get me wrong, I didn't peek into your thoughts! It's all because of you, you're too cautious! You want to increase your weight in my heart, but before you get everything done, you have to make sure no one can influence my judgment of you! At this time, you discovered Hermione. You couldn't figure out the relationship between Hermione and me, but I was very friendly to Hermione. You think this is unreasonable. After all, you should also understand my character. I value interests very much!"
"Hermione's appearance surprised you. You couldn't find out about our relationship in the Muggle world, but seeing how I treated Hermione, you thought she must be very important to me! You didn't dare to bet on whether Hermione would be the key to disrupting your plan. After all, if the relationship between Hermione and I was as you imagined, Hermione only needed to say a word to me and all your efforts would be wasted!"
"In this situation, you need to pull Hermione to your side. You know very well that Hermione likes me! If you want to create a character, it will definitely cause Hermione's disgust, so you chose to make friends with Hermione! It's interesting to say that you took Hermione to the bathroom reserved for Slytherin prefects, and Hermione discovered the red lotus on your shoulder! Sometimes, I really don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid!"
Charlotte clenched her fists slightly.
She didn't expect to be exposed in this situation.
Of course he knew about the red lotus on his shoulder, but he thought that such a thing should not attract Hermione's attention.
Charlotte frowned. "Did you plan your kindness towards Hermione from the beginning? Or has Hermione been yours since before she started school?"
Erwin shook his head. "Don't think too highly of me. I couldn't have foreseen that! Hermione's words were actually just a source of amusement for me. I wanted to see if I could find some different fun. Secondly, Hermione is a talent, and I've always cherished talent! Of course, Hermione's greatest role is actually another one. She's a weakness I deliberately exploited!"
Charlotte thought for a moment, then a look of horror crossed her face.
"So that's it, you did it on purpose! You deliberately let everyone think that you care about Hermione, so that she would be your obvious weakness! Everyone knows that people without weaknesses are the most terrifying, but when you have a weakness, others will let down their guard. Even if they want to deal with you, they will attack your weakness first! You are building a shield for yourself, or rather, all Slytherin students are your shields! You are so cruel!"
Erwin waved his hand. "This isn't cruelty, it's just some protection. If I were strong enough, I would naturally protect them! Well, chatting with you has been fun. I've been holding it in for too long and need someone to listen, talk, and vent. Now that I've vented, it's time for me to send you on your way!"
Charlotte said, "Are you so sure you can kill me? Erwin, you know nothing about the Eight Great Families!"
As she spoke, the magic power in Charlotte's body suddenly burst out.
Erwin watched calmly, without a trace of panic on his face.
After a moment, Charlotte's magic power mysteriously retracted.
Charlotte's expression instantly turned ugly: "What did you do! Why can't I mobilize my magic power?"
