n“Don’t joke with me, Heidi. It’s not good to have so many people watching.”

n

n

nHearing Rostislavs’ words, Heidi looked disgusted as if she had seen a maggot.

n

n

n

n

nShe said coldly, “I’m not joking with you, Your Highness Prince Rostislav.”

n

n

nHeidi sneered. She continued, “Don’t worry. I’ll tell my father about the annulment in a while.”

n

n

n“Anyway, so many people have seen me cuddling with other men. If I continue the engagement, wouldn’t that be an insult to you, Prince Rostislav?”

n

n

nHeidi said with a smile, as if it was for Prince Rostislav’s sake.

n

n

n

n

nPrince Rostislav clenched his fists.

n

n

n“Crack!”

n

n

nA crisp sound suddenly sounded at the banquet, interrupting the lively atmosphere and the whole place became quiet.

n

n

nPrince Rostislav took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry. I was a bit out of control.”

n

n

n

n

nThen he summoned the maid of the royal family and took the broken goblet out of his hand.

n

n

nPrince Rostislav took out a handkerchief and wiped the red wine that had spilled on his hand. His eyes were gloomy and cold.

n

n

nHeidi’s decisiveness was unexpected to Prince Rostislav.

n

n

nHe did not expect that Heidi would not save face for him at all.

n

n

nThe fact made him angry.

n

n

nBut when he calmed down, he did not want to lose Frances.

n

n

n

n

nThis situation made him unable to come up with a solution for the time being.

n

n

nHe looked down and looked around, his eyes reflecting the faces of the people.

n

n

nAlthough they didn’t show anything, Rostislav still seemed to see ridicule and mockery.

n

n

nThis made him angry.

n

n

nThe fists under the attire tightened and loosened.

n

n

nHe only felt that he, the prince, was being a wimp.

n

n

nWhen he calmed his anger, he thought of a way to break the situation.

n

n

nHe turned his eyes and saw Monn again.

n

n

n

n

nIt was him!

n

n

nThe reason for this situation was all because of him!

n

n

nOtherwise, why would Heidi be in such a hurry to end the engagement?

n

n

nHe instinctively wanted revenge.

n

n

nBut Monn’s strength made him feel powerless.

n

n

nWait!

n

n

nWhy should I take revenge on the red-robed man?

n

n

nSince he was so strong, then I should just think of a way to get him to join my side, right? !

n

n

nFor a moment, Prince Rostislav’s mood suddenly became bright.

n

n

nSince I can’t get Frances’support, why don’t I just change my mind and get the support of this red-robed?

n

n

nWhen Heidi marries Monn in the future, Frances would still turn his head to support me. Wouldn’t he?

n

n

nAt this moment, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

n

n

nHe looked at Monn as if he was looking at a treasure.

n

n

n

n

nMonn felt a chill and his eyebrows jumped. If the prince hadn’t recovered in time, he might have kicked him.

n

n

nMeanwhile Prince Rostislav stopped worrying about Frances and changed his target to Monn.

n

n

nHis intention was clear- Brother, since you had stolen my fiancée! Then come and work for me!

n

n

nJust a woman!

n

n

nAfter Prince Rostislav thought about it through, he no longer paid attention to Heidi.

n

n

nHe turned to look at Monn. He smiled and said, “Hello, Cardinal Monn. I haven’t had the time to introduce myself. I’m the second prince of the Kate Kingdom, Rostislav.”

n

n

nMonn glanced at him and gave a faint ‘oh’.

n

n

nRostislav’s enthusiasm instantly froze.

n

n

nIt was as if his enthusiasm had met an iceberg, causing his fiery heart to instantly turn cold.

n

n

nHe narrowed his eyes and thought by himself.

n

n

nIt seemed that it would not be so easy to rope in the cardinal.

n

n

nBut he had no way out.

n

n

nHeidi had unilaterally announced the annulment of the engagement with him.

n

n

nAlthough it had not been truly annulled, the rest was just a matter of formality as long as Heidi opened her mouth.

n

n

nLosing the right to marry Heidi was the same as losing Frances’ help.

n

n

nIt was undoubtedly a step further away for him to ascend to the throne.

n

n

nMonn was the only straw he could grasp at the moment.

n

n

nHe had to grasp it!

n

n

nNot caring about Monn’s coldness, he continued to smile warmly and asked the question he wanted to ask the most, “With your cardinal strength, you will become the most honorable person no matter where you go. Why would you become a small pope in the Orthodox Church?”

n

n

nWhen he asked this question, the Saintess, who was silently watching from the side, could not help but feel somewhat stunned.

n

n

nWhy did it seem that the flame of war had spread to Orthodox Church?

n

n

nMonn glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

n

n

nTo him, no matter where he was or what he was doing, it was just a job.

n

n

nIf he was doing it smoothly, he would continue to do it. If he wasn’t doing it smoothly, he would find another job. There weren’t so many questions.

n

n

nSeeing that Monn did not reply, Prince Rostislav thought that he had struck something that he cared about. He could not help but smiled confidently and revealed his plans.

n

n

n“Why don’t Cardinal Monn come to my royal family? I can’t guarantee anything else, but you will definitely get the best treatment from me. As long as I have, I can give you anything that you want!”

n

n

nHearing this, Monn suddenly laughed lightly. “Oh? Are you trying to poach me to jump ship?”

n

n

nAlthough Prince Rostislav did not understand what exactly meant by ‘jump ship’, he had roughly understood what it meant.

n

n

nHe nodded heavily with anticipation in his eyes.

n

n

nBeside him, Saintess Ace’s expression changed when she heard the Prince Rostislav’s words. She could not help but feel angry.

n

n

nThe prince had actually poached a member of the Orthodox Church? And in front of her?

n

n

nAt this moment, she couldn’t help to speak, her voice was like a bone-piercing frost, “Your Highness, poaching a member of the Orthodox Church in front of me, don’t you think it’s a little too arrogant?”

n

n

nHearing the cold tone, Prince Rostislav couldn’t help but be stunned.

n

n

nHe turned his head and saw the cold eyes of the Saintess staring at him. He couldn’t help but smiled bitterly in his heart.

n

n

nBecause he had thought of a way to break the situation, he was so excited that he forgot that the Saintess was still here.

n

n

nThis…

n

n

nThis moment drove him crazy.

n

n

nOn the other hand, he had not received an answer from Monn. And neither did he want to offend c.

n

n

nAfter all, the power of Orthodox Church was comparable to the kingdom.

n

n

nIn addition, there was still a God-rank-pope there.

n

n

nEven the kingdom didn’t want to offend Orthodox Church, let alone a little prince who wasn’t even the heir.

n

n

n“This…”

n

n

nPrince Rostislav was speechless for a moment.

n

n

nHeidi, who was still attached to Monn, couldn’t help but gloat when she saw this.

n

n

nServes him right!

n

n

nCoincidentally, at this time, the king, who had waited for a long time, finally appeared at the banquet and attracted everyone’s attention.

n

n

nThis scene finally freed Prince Rostislav from the moment of awkwardness. He secretly let out a breath and quietly left the place, afraid that the Saintess would settle the score with him later.

n

n

nAs for the matter of roping in Monn, he would talk about it slowly when he found Monn to be alone in the future.

n

n

nMonn, on the other hand, looked at Prince Rostislav who had sneaked away with a half-smile in his eyes.

n

n

nTo be honest, this was the first time he had received an invitation to change jobs. For a moment, he was quite surprised.

n

n

nHowever, to him, who was about to become Pope, the royal family’s efforts to rope him in were not even worth mentioning.
