nMonn frowned.
n
n
nHe didn’t expect to encounter the good-for-nothing prince in the end!
n
n
n
n
n“Bad luck!”
n
n
nHe muttered in his heart.
n
n
nHe didn’t want to get too involved with this good-for-nothing prince and waste his time.
n
n
nMonn directly turned to the small path next to him and prepared to take a detour as he thought that.
n
n
n
n
nWho knew that Monn discovered a group of people gathering in front of him just as he walked a distance from the small path!
n
n
nMonn’s expression didn’t look right.
n
n
nDamn it, why weren’t these people welcoming the prince on Avenue of Triumph?
n
n
nWhy were they there?
n
n
n
n
nMonn noticed a cardinal of the same rank as him with a glance.
n
n
nQuiniel.
n
n
nThe cardinal was usually in charge of the security around the cathedral.
n
n
nHe was powerful and should be at the peak of Amethyst Rank.
n
n
nFurthermore, he had rich battle experience.
n
n
nMonn would not be a match for this person before he advanced to the Holy Rank.
n
n
n
n
nBeside Cardinal Quiniel was a large group of archbishops and bishops.
n
n
nThey stood respectfully behind Quiniel.
n
n
nOpposite them were two teams of soldiers wearing mithril chain armor!
n
n
nThe soldiers were guarding a huge bed in the middle!
n
n
nSix maids who were not wearing revealing clothes were taking care of a man lying in the middle of the palanquin.
n
n
nThe man who looked dull was a man whose body had been emptied by alcohol and sex.
n
n
nNaturally, it was Prince Burton, that good-for-nothing prince!
n
n
nMonn had a rough glance, except for those who were out on missions.
n
n
n
n
nAlmost all the members of the Orthodox Church’s St. Servant Cathedral were bishops and above that were there.
n
n
nQuiniel indeed did not leave anyone behind!
n
n
nMonn heard Prince Burton, who was lying on the bed, spoke in an arrogant tone of voice just as he was about to sneak over.
n
n
n“Quiniel, is this all the people in your cathedral?”
n
n
nQuiniel, who was in red, had a flattering smile on his face as he bowed and answered.
n
n
n“Reporting to Prince Burton, other than those who went out on missions, everyone above the bishops in the St. Servant Cathedral is here.”
n
n
n“Mm, Quiniel, well done!”
n
n
nPrince Burton replied lazily, turning his head to take the peeled grapes from the maid.
n
n
nSuddenly, he saw Monn dressed in red!
n
n
n“But who is that? Why is he wearing the same clothes as you?”
n
n
nQuiniel was stunned, turning his head to look over.
n
n
nHis expression was gloomy in an instant.
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn, when did you come back? Why aren’t you here to pay your respects to Prince Burton?”
n
n
n
n
nHe deliberately spoke with a stern tone of voice and the hint in his words.
n
n
nQuiniel wanted Prince Burton to think that Monn had just returned from a mission outside.
n
n
nHe did not deliberately come to pay his respects to him!
n
n
nIn Quiniel’s heart, Monn should comply with what he said at this time as long as his brain was functioning well.
n
n
nAfter all, regardless of whether it was in terms of rank or status.
n
n
nPrince Burton’s status was far higher than the cardinals like them!
n
n
nIf Monn was still as stubborn as before.
n
n
nHe, Quiniel, might also be in trouble this time!
n
n
nQuiniel looked at Monn with a threatening look in his eyes when he thought of that!
n
n
nMonn frowned when he heard Quiniel called out.
n
n
n‘Is that Quiniel sick?’
n
n
n‘Didn’t he see that Í am already off work?’
n
n
n‘He could just lick the boots if he wants. Why should he bring me into this?’
n
n
nMonn shot a cold glance at Quiniel with a calm expression on his face.
n
n
nThen, he walked straight ahead.
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn! What are you doing? Didn’t you hear what I said?”
n
n
nQuiniel’s face froze, and he quickly shouted!
n
n
nHe was also angry!
n
n
nIt was tolerable if he was a maverick usually!
n
n
nA bishop even reported to him that Monn was unwilling to participate in the rehearsal of Prince Burton’s welcoming ceremony this time.
n
n
nHe didn’t even bother to look for trouble with Monn!
n
n
nHe thought that it would be fine since Monn would leave on time. At most, he would tell Prince Burton that he was out on a mission.
n
n
nBut now since they met!
n
n
nHow dare he!
n
n
nWasn’t Monn putting him in a bad situation?
n
n
nQuiniel’s face was livid, and he saw that Mon was still ignoring him.
n
n
nHe came straight to Monn!
n
n
nHe looked at him with a gloomy face as he stood in his way.
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn, have you not seen Prince Burton?”
n
n
n“I see him,” said Monn coldly. “Why?”
n
n
n“Why?”
n
n
nQuiniel almost laughed out of anger!
n
n
nDid he say why?
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn now is not the time to play dumb. Hurry up and follow me. We pay our respects to Prince Burton!”
n
n
nQuiniel lowered his voice and continued.
n
n
n“If you are disrespectful to Prince Burton, both of us will be in big trouble if Prince Burton blames you!”
n
n
nMonn looked at him coldly.
n
n
n“Cardinal Quiniel, did you misunderstand something?”
n
n
n“I have never been disrespectful to Prince Burton. I have never seen him before, so how am I disrespectful to him?”
n
n
n“It’s just that I have already gotten off work. Now, it’s my private time!”
n
n
n“I have no interest in paying respect to any prince during my private time.”
n
n
n“Now, please move aside!”
n
n
nQuiniel was so angry that his entire body was trembling!
n
n
n‘Did you hear what he said?’
n
n
n‘What did he mean by private time? He had already seen Prince Burton. Was the private time important now?’
n
n
n“Cardinal Monn, don’t be arrogant!”
n
n
n“Move aside!”
n
n
nMonn said coldly and was about to leave directly from the side!
n
n
nPrince Burton waited for quite a while from not far away, but Quiniel and Monn still did not come back to pay him respect.
n
n
nHis expression immediately became a little unhappy!
n
n
n“Will, go and see what’s going on!”
n
n
n“Yes, Your Highness!”
n
n
nThe person named Will was the one who shouted, “Prince Burton has arrived” that Monn had just heard.
n
n
nHe was Burton’s palace guard, and one of the Black Gold Rank guards that King Aldrich had sent to Burton!
n
n
nWill was not tall, and his pair of small eyes were filled with arrogance.
n
n
nHe lifted the long sword at his waist and walked towards Quiniel and Monn.
n
n
nEven if it was one of Prince Burton’s guards.
n
n
nHe did not show the slightest respect when facing Quiniel.
n
n
nHe frowned and shouted.
n
n
n“Quiniel, what’s going on? His Highness the Prince is still waiting for you!”
n
n
nQuiniel was a cardinal, after all.
n
n
nIt was fine if he was reprimanded by Prince Burton.
n
n
nBut now, a guard in front of the palace dared to shout at him like this?
n
n
nHe saw Will looking at him without fear just as he was about to burst into anger. His eyes were filled with arrogance and superiority.
n
n
nQuiniel was stunned.
n
n
nBehind him was Prince Burton.
n
n
nOne still had to look at its owner if they want to beat up a dog…
n
n
nHis face was burning. In the end, Quiniel gritted his teeth.
n
n
nHe looked straight at Monn, his eyes almost overflowing with coldness!
n
n
n‘Since you don’t want me to have a good time, then don’t even think about getting away yourself!’
n
n
n“Please report to the prince. This person is also a cardinal named Monn. He is not willing to pay his respect to Prince Burton!”
n
n
n“What?”
n
n
nWill’s small eyes widened, and he stared angrily at Monn.
n
n
nHis palm was already placed on the long sword at his waist.
n
n
nThen, Monn met his gaze coldly without showing any signs of weakness.
n
n
n“I’ll say one more time!”
n
n
n“I’ve already gotten off work. No one has the right to ask me to do things that I’m unwilling to do in my private time, no matter who they are!”
n
n
n“Now, please move aside!”
n
n
