~9 min read 1,735 words

After a brief pause, Zhang Qiu suddenly slapped her head and said happily: "Eh, no need to say it personally, there happens to be someone who can replace us to come forward."

Harry followed her gaze and looked at Lin Shuanghe, who was distracted on the side.

"Me?"

"Of course, first of all, you are a diplomacy major, very good at managing a high-and-mighty attitude while conveying your intentions, right?" Zhang Qiu said proudly. "Secondly, we hide behind a diplomat, which can better highlight the gap in status."

Harry began to think about the truth of her words, and Zhang Qiu quickly stated her third idea. "Finally, I also want to see what position the country is preparing to put you in this farce of Princess Wencheng."

"Indeed, I can go to convey this intention, because it is prepared for me to serve as a private aide, housekeeper, etc..."

This is easy to understand. Harry immediately thought of that Princess Sarah. As a simple girl who likes outdoor sports, she needs a smart person like Charles to help bear the political responsibility of the princess status.

"But there is no such position in the domestic tradition."

"... It's a dowry nanny."

Harry didn't understand that vague Chinese word, but judging from that constipated expression, it was probably not a very glorious statement.

"Harry, you can continue to understand it according to the aide." After Zhang Qiu recovered from the silly laugh, she waved her hand and then said seriously. "Then, I have to explain the background and our intentions to you."

"The only heir of the Malfoy family, Draco Malfoy, is currently trapped in a dilemma of choosing one of two in a love triangle, with candidates Pan Xi Parkinson and Astoria Greengrass. And we decided to intervene and support Pan Xi, for the following reasons."

"In terms of interests, Pan Xi is more rational and has management experience, and is also easier to control. Supporting her to become Mrs. Malfoy will be very beneficial for us to further integrate and utilize pure-blood family resources in the future; correspondingly, Astoria has traits like being love-brained and frail, and is not a good collaborator."

"And in terms of feelings, Pan Xi has always been by Draco's side to give him support, and even when he was frustrated and in a low valley, she was willing to continue to add bets. We believe that she should be given reasonable rewards, instead of continuing to repeat the old-fashioned tragedy of the childhood sweetheart losing to the newcomer."

"So, what we need you to do is, in the capacity of a private aide, to implicitly convey our support for Pan Xi to the Lucius couple, so as to counter the advantage Astoria has recently gained in the field of love triangles." Zhang Qiu summarized. "This also has another benefit, which is that it can put Harry in a higher position, avoiding the interpersonal relationship risks that might be caused by personally entering the field."

Although these words sounded a bit awkward to Harry, they were easy to understand for Lin Shuanghe—but this didn't matter. In short, she easily grasped Zhang Qiu's intention and happily accepted this task.

"And Harry, I thought of another thing to leave for you to do." Zhang Qiu touched her chin. "That is to privately provide the Dark Lord's support to Pan Xi."

"The Dark Lord's support?" Harry retorted with some dissatisfaction. "You won't forget that the foundation of the Dark Lord's rule is violence—if you let Voldemort answer this question, he would definitely kill Astoria directly!"

"Too serious, too serious." Zhang Qiu touched her forehead. "I originally wanted to say that we can help Pan Xi gain super-wizard power... but if you say it like that, it seems that it is indeed power enough to kill Astoria."

"Fortunately, Pan Xi shouldn't really do that, and the knight belt won't recognize this idea." Zhang Qiu took a deep breath. "If Master is really preparing to restart closing the country, I think it is reasonable to take this opportunity to get more belts."

"Super-wizard power seems to be included in the dowry list." Lin Shuanghe added. "We can take out a belt first. By the way, is a belt enough? Don't we need other powers?"

"Are there other powers?" Harry was surprised.

"We have many methods to improve physical fitness and attack power to achieve the super-wizard level, generally called 【Martial Arts】 or 【Cultivation Method】..."

"Just the belt." Zhang Qiu interrupted her. "First, the belt limits the kind heart and strengthens the defense, which is more suitable for high school students like Pan Xi who suddenly gain power; second, the belt and knight power can also become a common topic for her and Draco, a new topic that Greengrass cannot intervene in."

After Lin Shuanghe left, Harry and Zhang Qiu had some private chats until she returned again and brought back a belt and two empty bottles.

"I am curious about what kind of power Pan Xi will seek." Harry said, standing up and preparing to return to school.

"From the recipe manual, the most suitable for her might be the Magical Girl + Pomeranian combination." Zhang Qiu laughed secretly.

Harry resisted letting himself laugh out loud, waved his hand as a farewell with a serious face, and then pushed open the pub door and started walking toward the school.

The belt was temporarily held in his hand for a week, until he was sure that Draco had returned home on the weekend and had a conversation with his parents, Harry began to consider finding an opportunity to give the belt to Pan Xi.

However, the Empress Dowager card was much easier to use than he imagined. Draco started to be inseparable from Pan Xi again, although their interaction was not as natural as before, but after all, they spent time on each other in a real way.

Helplessly, Harry could only find Eve in the common room and said to her: "You help me find an opportunity to ask Pan Xi out, Zhang Qiu got a belt to give to her."

"Why give it to her?" Luo En said with dissatisfaction.

"Why must I go to call her?" Eve also started to be dissatisfied.

"I think I also want a belt." Jin Ni also conveyed dissatisfaction on the side.

Harry didn't know why he was suddenly besieged. He could only sigh, sit down and say slowly: "This matter is quite complicated, you listen to me explain slowly."

It took about half an hour for Harry to tell the considerations of various factors in detail. Of course, many of Zhang Qiu's viewpoints were interspersed—people in love will always agree with their partner's views on third-party things, and he himself didn't realize it so easily.

"So, choosing Pan Xi to be Draco's wife is a more favorable thing for us." Jin Ni was the first to react with a thoughtful expression. "And the belt is some kind of powerful support."

"But this way, Draco's true love seems dispensable and no one cares." Luo En felt a trace of sympathy for this loser.

Eve put one hand on his shoulder and said naturally: "The world is like this. The Malfoy family is in a disadvantageous position in the grand game, so his little young master's opinion is not respected."

Harry felt that this was a bit wrong, and he added: "Of course, from another perspective, he and Astoria are not true love. Even for Draco, he chose Astoria perhaps only because she is more beautiful."

"What if it's true love?" Jin Ni asked.

"Well, if he is willing to resist for true love, I think his knight power will definitely grow rapidly. This will be known very quickly—if this is the case, just for this power, it is worth our reconsideration." Harry suddenly diverted his thoughts. "According to this, the knight system is really a great invention."

"When a person encounters unfairness, he can use this to gain power, and then use power to break the unfairness—this respects the realistic logic that the strong are kings, and provides a plan for adjustment to an ideal society, or a correction mechanism. Of course, this is also based on the characteristic that magic can transcend the conservation of energy. Perhaps this is the core of the Dumbledore model." Harry gestured his vision. "More macroscopically, taking the Wizarding World as a transcendent existence to supervise the governance of the Muggle World, are they building a better world? Are they respecting the basic human rights of ordinary Muggles? Will there be some things and behaviors that do not conform to simple moral concepts? I think this is the direction of the future, I mean the direction of the interaction mode between the two worlds, and this is also the deconstruction and dialectical use of the internal slogan 【Wizard rules Muggles】."

Eve's hand unconsciously held Luo En's arm, and she said in an indifferent tone, "It's really complicated."

And Jin Ni touched her cheek, then suddenly asked: "According to this, just by power, it is also possible, in fact, the prince is not so important?"

"Being able to ask such a question shows that you don't like the prince so much." Eve shrugged.

This little corner of the common room experienced a long period of silence, and then Harry finally spoke, stating his truly well-thought-out point of view—as a possessor of power.

"The prince still has meaning. He provides a possibility. If it really comes to the day when it is impossible to do anything and the Wizarding World must intervene in Muggle governance, the existence of the prince can save a lot of unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice in the transfer of power." Harry paused. "But even so, bloodshed and sacrifice are still inevitable. So, since everything in the Muggle World is still within an acceptable range, we should seriously think about how to make the world better in a bloodless way."

"According to this, the prince and I should give each other a little more chance to fall in love." Jin Ni said hesitantly.

"You are right." Luo En's eyes were also a bit drifting. "This is right."

Before the atmosphere became weird, Eve stood up and interrupted: "Then I will go to Pan Xi to talk about this—at least for Pan Xi, the world has really become better." ===== CHAPTER 517 =====
