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
