nAt the market, Monn, who was buying groceries and preparing to go home to cook, could not help but frown when he saw Ace trailing behind him.

n“I’ve already gotten off work. Stop following me.”

n

n

nAce looked at Monn with an aggrieved expression. “But I don’t know the way back to the Holy Church.”

n“Also, the Orthodox Church doesn’t have this rule at all!”

nSpeaking of this, Ace straightened her back and spoke righteously.

nMunn ignored her and said, “Go north from here to the second intersection and head east until you reach St. Selwyn Square. Then just keep going northeast.”

n

n

nAce widened her eyes and listened with a blank expression.

nShe shook her head and said carelessly, “I don’t care. Anyway, his Majesty Andrew asked you to receive me. I’ll go wherever you go.”

nShe put on a holy smile again and bowed slightly, “Please, Cardinal Monn.”

nMonn clicked his tongue and said, “So the Saintess has two faces.”

n

n

nAce’s smile suddenly froze.

nHe became a little discouraged.

nHe no longer pretended to be noble in front of Monn. He pointed at the place where the fruits were sold and said, “I want to eat that.”

nMonn ignored her and went home after buying the ingredients needed for dinner.

nWhat a joke. Why should the money he earned through ‘hard work’ be spent on other people.

nEvening, Monn’s villa.

n

n

nElma sat at the dining table and asked curiously, “Father Monn, is this the mother you found for me?”

nAce, who was sitting opposite Elma in a reserved manner, almost fell down.

nA blush immediately crept up her cheeks.

nMonn, who was carrying the food, walked out of the kitchen and said coldly, “She’s just a poor woman who freeloads for food and drinks.”

nAce chuckled a few times but could not refute.

nShe could only secretly swear to eat more later,

nuntil Munn’s heart ached!

nWith this determination, Ace was full of vigor.

n

n

nWhen the food was served, Ace was instantly stunned.

n“What about mine?”

nLooking at the empty space in front of her and the steaming food in front of Monn and Elma, Ace was dumbfounded.

nMonn picked up a green vegetable and said as he ate, “I only bought two portions. Of course, there’s no more for you.”

nAce: “…”

nBeside her, Elma’s little face turned grim.

n“Father Monn, you can’t bully Sister Ace!”

nHow could a father like Monn help her find her mother?

nElma realized the seriousness of the matter.

nThe next day, at nine o’clock in the morning.

nMonn brought Ace, who was freeloading, to the sanctuary.

nAce followed Monn and looked at the busy members of the sanctuary. She said uneasily, “Is it really okay for us to come so late?”

nMonn said calmly, “I didn’t stop you.”

n

n

nAce: “…”

nIndeed.

nBut the feeling of sleeping until 9 am was too wonderful!

nAfterwards, Monn found the person in charge of the werewolf investigation and asked if anything had happened last night.

n“Cardinal Monn, your Highness.”

nThe paladin first bowed, then said, “Last night, there was a werewolf riot in the western suburbs.”

n“Most of them were killed by our Holy Knights on the spot, but two of the amethyst level werewolves escaped and are still patrolling.”

nMonn nodded and said, “Let’s go to the western suburbs.”

nAce followed behind and suddenly asked, “How are you going to find those two werewolves?”

nMonn saw her ‘quick, ask me’ expression and knew that this Saintess was up to no good.

nTherefore, Monn deliberately didn’t answer her and flew directly towards the western suburbs.

nSeeing this, Ace stomped her feet angrily and hurriedly followed.

nIn the western suburbs, as soon as Monn arrived, he saw the collapsed houses on the street from afar.

nThere were also traces of wolf feet on the street.

n“It’s Cardinal Monn and Her Highness the Saintess!”

nSome sharp-eyed paladins saw Monn and Ace land.

nIn the next moment, the paladins surrounded them and bowed.

n“Did you find anything?”

nMonn’s calm voice sounded.

nThe Paladins looked at each other and said awkwardly, “Cardinal Monn, we haven’t made any progress yet.”

nMonn nodded and didn’t blame them.

nIf they could find the werewolves so easily, the werewolves wouldn’t have been able to sneak in.

nLooking at Ace, who seemed to be thinking about something, Monn asked, “Do you have any way to find them?”

nAce felt like laughing at Monn.

nI asked you a moment ago, but you didn’t answer. In the end, you still had to ask me.

nBut she looked at the Holy Knights around her.

nIn order to maintain her holy image, Ace had to swallow her words,

nshe looked at Monn, who had a faint smile on his face, and gritted her teeth in her heart.

nHe did it on purpose!

nHe definitely did it on purpose!

nKnowing that she needed to maintain her holy persona outside, Monn waited until there were many people around to ask her about the method.

nGiving her no chance to mock him,

nBut she no choice. If she said she had no idea, how would she solve the werewolf problem?

nOr what would others think of her if she suddenly used this ability in the future?

nThinking of this, Ace forced a smile and said, “Leave it to me.”

nShe secretly glared at Monn and squatted down. A ball of golden light appeared on her fingers and aimed at the werewolf footprints on the ground.

nMonn’s eyes focused.

nThe werewolf footprints on the ground seemed to come to life as if they had their own consciousness.

nThey were like babies who had just learned how to walk, swinging and swaying.

nIt was the first time that Monn had come into contact with this kind of spell, so he felt a little curious.

nAce let out a breath and stood up.

nShe said to Monn, “That’s enough. These footprints will lead us to the werewolf from last night.”

nThe footprints seemed to understand Ace’s words. They swayed for a moment and then directly walked south.

nAce called out to Monn and hurriedly followed.

nThe footsteps were not fast, so Monn and Ace could only follow.

nWhen they passed by an intersection, the footprints suddenly stopped.

nThen, they silently retreated more than 50 meters before turning around and heading southeast.

nMonn was silent. He asked suspiciously, “Is this spell accurate?”

nAce scratched her head and said in embarrassment, “It’s my first time using it, so…”

nMunn sighed. Since he had no other choice, he could only continue to follow.

nAfter passing through the intersections, the footprints suddenly sped up as if they had smelled their prey.

nMunn and ace glanced at each other and hurriedly followed.

nAfter passing through the intersection, the two of them seemed to have arrived at a new world.

nThe dilapidated wooden houses lined the streets.

nThe streets were filled with rotten garbage and feces everywhere.

nThe air was filled with a rancid smell.

nThe civilians on the streets were as skinny as a stick of firewood. Their eyes were lifeless, and their bodies were filled with decadence.

nAce covered her nose and said in a low voice, “What is this place?”

n“A slum.”

n“A slum?” Said Monn with an indifferent expression.
