nOf course, Monn still did not tell them about it in the end.

n

n

nAfter all, Monn deeply understood one thing!

n

n

n

n

nKeeping a low profile was the way an expert should deal with things!

n

n

nThe few cardinals received different missions according to Andrew’s instructions.

n

n

nAndrew still let Monn be in charge of the affairs in the cathedral because he knew that he did not like to go out.

n

n

nMonn went for a lunch break at noon on time.

n

n

n

n

nHe went to the monastery and had a sumptuous “fish feast” with Millie and Alma.

n

n

nMonn had to admit after eating that.

n

n

nAlthough he had been cooking the same three dishes for more than a year.

n

n

nThey were still only “edible”!

n

n

n

n

nMonn felt that the atmosphere was not quite right when he returned to the cathedral two o’clock in the afternoon.

n

n

nHe saw many bishops and priests lined up neatly in two rows when he approached the Holy Church.

n

n

n‘What’s going on?’

n

n

nMonn was a little puzzled. He stopped one of the bishops and asked when he approached.

n

n

nThat bishop bowed respectfully and said, “Cardinal Monn, Prince Burton is coming to our church for a parade tonight. We are all rehearsing and preparing to welcome him.”

n

n

n“Prince Burton?”

n

n

n

n

nMonn frowned.

n

n

nThe prince was said to be the younger brother of the “Iron Thorn King” Aldrich, the iron-blooded monarch of the Kingdom of Kate.

n

n

nHowever, Prince Burton’s reputation was not as good as his elder brother’s reputation!

n

n

nThe iron-blooded monarch, who was in his enterprising years, actively promoted civil affairs, trained the army, and issued many decrees that benefited the country and the people.

n

n

nAldrich had been known by the people of the Kingdom of Kate as “The Luck of the Kate Kingdom” ever since his accession to the throne!

n

n

nHowever, his younger brother was a profligate playboy who loved to show off and be ostentatious!

n

n

nRumors said that Aldrich did not kill this guy when he was fighting for the throne.

n

n

nIt was because he was too stupid!

n

n

n

n

nAldrich did not care much about his younger brother after taking over the throne.

n

n

nAs long as he didn’t violate the laws of the kingdom publicly.

n

n

nHe didn’t have any other restrictions as a prince!

n

n

nAldrich even sent several Black Gold Rank guards to protect him.

n

n

nNow, why did this guy suddenly think of paying a pilgrimage in the church?

n

n

nCurrently, the Orthodox Church was the only True God sect in the Kingdom of Kate.

n

n

nThe political and religious administration was separated, but the status was almost the same.

n

n

nIn other words, King Aldrich’s status was equivalent to the Pope of the Orthodox Church.

n

n

nAnd the King’s younger brother, Prince Burton, was probably equivalent to the Pope like Andrew.

n

n

nTherefore, although Monn’s status was not low as the cardinal of the Orthodox Church from the perspective of ranking.

n

n

nHe still could not be compared to the prince.

n

n

n“Alright, then you guys continue.”

n

n

nMonn shrugged and did not take this matter to heart.

n

n

n

n

nNo matter who was in charge or gathered these bishops and priests to do these formalistic things.

n

n

nMonn did not care.

n

n

nAnyway, he would have already left work when that prince came!

n

n

nThere was no reason for him to take up his private time even if Aldrich came.

n

n

nMoreover, it was a welcoming ceremony that was completely meaningless in Monn’s eyes.

n

n

nThe bishop was a little stunned upon seeing that Monn was about to leave and hurriedly said.

n

n

n“Bishop Monn, you… aren’t you going to welcome Prince Burton with us tonight?”

n

n

nMonn was surprised.

n

n

n“Why should I go with you to welcome him?”

n

n

n“But Cardinal Quiniel said that everyone must go and welcome Prince Burton…”

n

n

nMonn thought for a moment and said calmly.

n

n

n“Welcoming Prince Burton is not part of my job, so it’s your business if you’re willing to go. I have no obligation to welcome someone who has nothing to do with me.”

n

n

n“If there is any problem with the Cardinal Quiniel, ask him to come to me personally.”

n

n

nThen, Monn left without waiting for the bishop’s reply.

n

n

nThe bishop’s face was a little dumbfounded, and he only recovered after a long time.

n

n

nBeside him, a priest who had a good relationship with him glanced at him and said.

n

n

n“Why do you care so much about him? Just let him offend the prince if he wants to offend him!”

n

n

nThe bishop hesitated for a moment and was about to say something when he heard the priest continue.

n

n

n“Cardinal Monn has always been so arrogant. I heard that Prelate Vernal wanted to issue a knight challenge to him yesterday. He even asked Prelate Vernal to come to him on working hours today!”

n

n

n“I have never seen him go out to fight in the past two years. Maybe he doesn’t dare to have a knight duel with Prelate Vernal at all!”

n

n

n“You can’t say that… Although Cardinal Monn doesn’t usually go out to fight, he would assign the battle tasks to the bishops and archbishops reasonably!”

n

n

nThe bishop said hesitantly.

n

n

nThe priest curled his lips and looked at the back of Monn, who had already gone far away. He chuckled in disdain.

n

n

n“Isn’t that because he is not strong enough?”

n

n

n“He might not even care about the popes. Why would he care about a prince?”

n

n

n“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you not to get involved in his affairs. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you if Prelate Vernal blames you!”

n

n

nAs soon as Vernal, the name of the prelate of the Judicial Department who had a strong deterrent power in the hearts of the low-level priests came out, the bishop’s expression also changed. He quickly pulled the priest back to the queue and continued to rehearse the ceremony to welcome Prince Burton.

n

n

n…

n

n

nMonn, who left on his own, did not take this matter to heart at all.

n

n

nNot to mention that Prince Burton was not a member of the Orthodox Church at all.

n

n

nEven if it was Pope Andrew or that pope asked Monn to do such meaningless things in his private time…

n

n

nHe would still refuse!

n

n

nThe discussion between the two bishops and priests just now was not wrong from that point of view.

n

n

nBecause Monn only treated the cardinal as a job.

n

n

nHe went to and from work on time, clocked in, and received a reward, doing his job well.

n

n

nThen, he received the salary that he should receive every week.

n

n

nThat was all!

n

n

nHe had no obligation, nor was he interested in working overtime during non-working hours!

n

n

nMonn would reasonably ask for overtime pay if he encountered a situation where he could not refuse!

n

n

nOf course, the premise of overtime was on his free will!

n

n

nTo welcome a rich prince during non-working hours just like that…

n

n

nSorry, he was not interested!

n

n

nBecause two of the four cardinals were sent to deal with other outdoor matters by Andrew in the afternoon.

n

n

nSo, Monn’s work was busy.

n

n

nMoreover, many matters were not his responsibility before, so it was not easy for him to deal with them.

n

n

nIt was not easy to finish all the work.

n

n

nMonn realized that it was already past five o’clock when he picked up the pocket watch on his chest!

n

n

nMonn directly clocked out in his mind.

n

n

n Ding!

n

n

n The clock out was successful. Host’s strength has slightly increased!

n

n

nA slight warm current flowed into Monn’s body after clocking out.

n

n

nThe warm current did not have much effect at all on his current strength.

n

n

nHe had been clocking in and out just like that for the past two years.

n

n

nThen, he had accumulated his strength to the peak of the Amethyst Rank little by little.

n

n

nMonn stood up and took off his luxurious red robe after stretching his back.

n

n

nHe was ready to get off work.

n

n

nHowever, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside right at that moment.

n

n

n“Prince Burton has arrived!”

n

n

n
