n“Your Majesty King Kate, I represent St. Servant Church to discuss the werewolf attack.”

n

n

nKate Kingdom, Royal Castle, in the main hall.

n

n

n

n

nCardinal Monn’s calm voice rang out, breaking the silence in the main hall in an instant.

n

n

nThe members of the royal family, who were in a state of shock, were all startled.

n

n

nAldrich, who was thinking about how to rope the red-robed man into the kingdom, also turned around.

n

n

nOnly then did he remember that the red-robed cardinal had come to the royal family to discuss about the werewolf attack.

n

n

n

n

nMoreover, given the red-robed man’s strength, Aldrich didn’t dare to slight him.

n

n

nBut as the ruler of a kingdom, he had the confidence.

n

n

nThere was no need to be too careful.

n

n

nHe raised his eyes to look at Monn, his eyes were as calm as still water.

n

n

n

n

nThe corners of his mouth were hung with a kind smile, but because he had been in a high position for a long time, his smile carried a trace of dignity.

n

n

n“Welcome to the St. Servant capital, the Cardinal. Please tell me your name.”

n

n

nHearing Aldrich’s question, Monn calmly said, “Monn.”

n

n

n“So it’s Cardinal Monn.”

n

n

nAldrich nodded, then smiled and said, “Cardinal Monn, this is your first time coming to the royal family. Why don’t you let my eldest daughter, Cheryl to take you around? The royal family is holding a banquet today. How about we talk while eating?”

n

n

nHearing King Aldrich’s words, everyone in the hall was stunned.

n

n

n

n

nBanquet?

n

n

nWhy didn’t we know about it?

n

n

nEveryone looked at each other, not knowing how to react.

n

n

nHowever, since the king had already made such a decision, everyone would still act as there was really such thing.

n

n

nBut Monn raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “Five o’clock in the afternoon is my off-duty time. I don’t accept any gathering that have a work nature.”

n

n

nAh, this…

n

n

nAs if they didn’t expect Monn to decline, the members of the royal family in the hall all had their mouths wide open, and their eyes filled with astonishment.

n

n

nImmediately, some ministers wanted to come out and angrily rebuke Monn’s attitude of looking down on the royal authority.

n

n

n

n

nHowever, they were stopped by Aldrich who perceived that and waved his hand.

n

n

nAldrich was also stunned by Monn’s rejection, but there was no anger in his heart after being rejected.

n

n

nIn his eyes, the strong usually had strange temper.

n

n

nSince he was a strong person, what was wrong with him being generous as a king.

n

n

nMaybe he would leave a good impression with this tolerant attitude towards him, and that might be a token to rope him in.

n

n

nHowever, Monn’s refusal still drove him a little bit crazy.

n

n

nAldrich planned to take advantage of the dinner banquet to have a good chat with Monn and see if there was a chance to rope him in.

n

n

nIn the end, he was rejected.

n

n

nHe still had to think of another way.

n

n

nAll the ideas went through his mind.

n

n

nSuddenly, a brilliant idea went through his mind.

n

n

nHe continued to smile as if he was not a king at all, but more like a kind old man.

n

n

n“Since that’s the case, why don’t we bring forward the time of the banquet? This is the first time that Cardinal Monn come here. No matter what, he has to experience the royal family’s banquet.”

n

n

n

n

nAlthough Monn found it strange that Aldrich wanted him to stay in the royal family for some reason, there was no place for him to refuse this time.

n

n

nSince the king had decided to discuss matters at the banquet, Monn would just listen to the arrangements.

n

n

n“As long as it doesn’t affect the time I get off work.”

n

n

nMonn said calmly.

n

n

nAldrich laughed a few times and waved his hand. “Alright, it’s settled then. Matthew, the banquet will start at two in the afternoon. I’ll leave this matter to you.”

n

n

nThe old minister called Matthew stepped forward and gave a wry smile. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

n

n

nHe had a wry smile in his heart.

n

n

nThe matter of the banquet had just been decided by the king, and the entire royal family had not prepare anything.

n

n

nBut they could not let others find it simple and crude.

n

n

nOtherwise, it would leave others an impression that the royal family did not respect them at all.

n

n

nThis kind of mission did not only drive him crazy.

n

n

nHis hairs, which had not been much to begin with, was probably going to fall off a lot again.

n

n

nAldrich continued to instruct, “Cheryl, this is the first time that Cardinal Monn come to the royal family. Take him and the Saintess for a stroll!”

n

n

nCheryl took a step forward and gave a valiant salute.

n

n

nHer silver-gray long hair fluttered in the wind.

n

n

nThe greenish-gray Monn did not hide the curiosity in his eyes as he sized up Cheryl.

n

n

nCheryl’s clear voice rang out, “Yes, Father!”

n

n

nAs soon as she finished speaking, she walked with her tall and straight figure all the way to the front of Monn.

n

n

nShe revealed a bright smile. “Let’s go, Monn and the Saintess. I’ll show you around.”

n

n

nAfter saying that, she led the way and walked out of the door.

n

n

nMonn didn’t object and followed her.

n

n

nSaintess Ace also followed.

n

n

nAldrich looked at the three disappearing figures and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

n

n

nOn the other side, seeing Monn was about to disappear.

n

n

nThe Prince Ivan’s eyes flickered. He bowed to Aldrich and walked quickly in the direction where Monn had disappeared.

n

n

nAldrich saw this and he didn’t stop him becausen he knew his eldest son’s character, nor did he think that he would leave a bad impression on Monn.

n

n

nHe allowed him to look for Cardinal Monn.

n

n

nErrol, who stood beside Aldrich’s throne, opened his sharp eyes gently.

n

n

nEndless sword energy filled his eyes.

n

n

nHe said softly, “You want to rope him in?”

n

n

nHe asked a question at any time, but Errol’s tone was indeed very certain.

n

n

nAldrich did not have any intention of hiding it. He nodded and said, “I do want to rope him in. I just don’t know if Cardinal Monn will be interested in a small place like the royal family.”

n

n

nIt was as if he said it with a self-deprecating tone.

n

n

nErrol did not respond. Instead, he said calmly, “Andrew will not let go.”

n

n

n“I know.” Aldrich had long thought of such a situation. He continued, “I’m afraid your pope doesn’t expect me to rope such a strong man in from the hands of the Orthodox Church.”

n

n

nSaying this, he paused for a moment, and his deep eyes flashed with a bright light.

n

n

nUsing a voice that only he could hear, he said, “But if it’s not, how can you know that there’s no chance?”

n

n

nAlthough his voice was very soft, he knew that as someone as strong as Errol, would definitely be able to hear his mumbling.

n

n

nOf course, Errol would be able to hear it.

n

n

nHowever, he did not say anything else. Although he was Aldrich’s teacher, he was only a kendo teacher.

n

n

nAlthough he understood the thoughts of the emperor, he was not that proficient.

n

n

nHe could not accurately guess Aldrich’s thoughts either.

n

n

nOf course, he did not need to guess. He only needed to do his essential work well and protect the royal family. He did not care about anything else.

n

n

nAlthough he thought that Aldrich had a slim chance of winning over Cardinal Monn.

n

n

nBut since he wanted to try, let him try.

n

n

nWhat if he succeeded?

n

n

nMaybe he could even disgust that old guy, Andrew.
