Chapter 86 - Monn After Work
n
n
n
nSt. Servant, dusk.
nThe sun was setting in the west, and the whole land was bright red.
n
n
nThe werewolf army did not attack since Monn brought Cheryl back to the St. Servant’s city.
nAt five o’clock in the evening, Monn got off his duty on time.
nTwo beautiful women followed behind him.
nBut Monn didn’t care at all. He even felt a little annoyed.
n
n
nBecause according to the situation, there would be two more freeloaders in his small villa today.
nMonn went to the Holy Cathedral to pick up Alma, who was still at Millie’s place after work.
nMonn could not endure his frustration anymore when they arrived at the market.
nHe looked at the two women behind him and asked, “Are you two going to my house for dinner?”
n
n
nAce tilted her head in confusion and asked. “Aren’t we going now?”
nMonn, “…”
nMonn was speechless by Ace’s expression that her eating dinner in his house was a routine.
nOn the other hand, Cheryl was a little embarrassed since it was her first time. She rummaged through her trouser pocket and took out a handful of gold pounds. She said in embarrassment, “Well, I’ll pay for the food.”
nMonn’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the gold pounds in Cheryl’s hand.
nAs expected of the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Kate. She was indeed generous.
n
n
n“Cough, we’re all friends. There’s is no need to be so polite.”
nMonn cleared his throat and pretended not to care much about the money. However, his hands were honest, taking the gold pounds in Cheryl’s hand.
nMonn did not even look at the gold pound and directly put it into his pocket.
nThere were so many of them. He did not even need to count to know that he had earned a lot from that meal.
nThen, Monn looked at Ace again. It was as if he was saying, “Look, Cheryl, as the eldest princess, has already paid for the meal. Don’t you have anything to give me in return for the dinner?”
nAce awkwardly looked away. She didn’t look at Monn at all, trying to act dumb.
nMonn sighed. He couldn’t do anything to her.
nBut at least he had gained something today and quite some amount of money.
n
n
nHis meal had always been cheap.
nThe eldest princess touched her pocket. She felt awkward.
nShe felt that Monn had used her money to feed another woman.
nHowever, Cheryl did not care about that small amount of money to spend more time with Monn.
nAt the same time, she also discovered Monn’s hidden attribute: Money-minded.
nThen, Monn brought Alma, Cheryl, and Ace to buy some extra ingredients and went straight home.
nAfter all, Sheryl had given so many gold pounds, and Monn was not a greedy person, so he made something better for dinner.
nJust as they were eating, there was a knock on the door. Monn was puzzled and walked over to open the door.
nHe saw a Holy Knight standing at the door with a panic look on his face when he opened the door.
nThe werewolves suddenly launched an attack, and General Barton asked them to inform Cardinal Monn about it.
nBut the Holy Knights were familiar with Monn’s working attitude.
nMonn would get off work on time at 5.00 p.m. sharp no matter what happened.
nKnowing Monn’s temper, the Holy Knights didn’t dare to look for Monn.
n
n
nSo, they told General Barton Cardinal Monn’s’ routine.
nBut General Barton ignored what they told him.
nHe felt that Cardinal Monn would not be so stubborn in such a big matter, so he asked the Holy Knights to hurry up and inform Monn to assist them.
nHowever, none of the Holy Knights wanted to take that responsibility, so they had to draw lots to decide who would go.
nIn the end, the Holy Knight at Monn’s door was the unlucky one.
nHe looked at Monn, clenched teeth, and said, “Well, Cardinal Monn, the werewolves suddenly launched an attack. General Barton asked me to inform you, so…”
nMonn frowned. Even if the werewolves launched an attack, it would not be easy for them to break through the St. Servant’s city wall.
nMonn analyzed the specific situation and felt that it was not a big problem, so he did not want to work overtime. He said, “I’m off work now. Let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
nMonn closed the door after he said that.
nThe Holy Knight smiled bitterly when he saw the tightly shut door.
nHe had already expected this outcome.
nIn the villa, Ace looked at Monn in a puzzle and asked, “Who is it?”
nAce had stayed at Monn’s house for a few days, but she hadn’t seen anyone come to his house.
nSo, she suspected something fishy was hapenning. She wondered if it was the person who gave the sword to Monn.
nMonn said casually, “It’s the Holy Knights.”
n“Holy Knights?”
nAce became even more confused when she heard that.
nMonn continued, “Yes, the werewolves suddenly attacked. They said that General Barton asked me to go over.”
n“Hm, you refuse them…”
nAce, who knew Monn’s personality, asked speechlessly.
nMonn replied, “Of course.”
n“I knew it.”
nAce sighed.
nCheryl, on the other hand, had no idea what they meant.
nHowever, she still understood what Monn said about the werewolf attack.
nSo she said seriously, “We must go there at once since the werewolves attacked!”
nMonn looked at her strangely. Didn’t she hear that he had refused to go?
nOn the other hand, Ace was speechless. She pushed Cheryl, who wanted to drag Monn along, out.
nSheryl was stunned and said, “Aren’t we waiting for Cardinal?”
nAce said seriously, “Monn has already gotten off work. He won’t do anything related to work during non-working hours.”
nCheryl could not get what Ace explained to her.
nGet off work?
nSigh, Ace also wanted to get off work, but she had no choice but to go to the front line to keep an eye on the werewolf. She didn’t want others to gossip about her if something happened.
nAt the front line.
nThe Holy Knight who had gone to inform Monn had already rushed back.
nA surprised expression appeared on Barton’s wrinkled face when he found out why Monn had refused to come to the front line.
nThen, he felt displeasure surging in him.
n“I thought Cardinal Monn was a great cardinal, but it turned out to be such an irresponsible guy!”
nBarton sat on the main seat of the meeting room and snorted coldly.
nThe sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.
nThe next moment, the meeting room door was opened from outside.
nAce and Cheryl walked in from outside.
nAce saw General Barton’s displeased look as soon as she entered the meeting room.
nAce looked at Barton and the others and said, “Cardinal Monn had got off work now. I’ll be carrying out the military deployment for him from now on.”
nGeneral Barton snorted when he heard that. “Cardinal Monn is arrogant! Since when did we have such a thing called off duty!”
nHe sounded displeased with Monn’s attitude.
nAce squinted her eyes and said coldly. “General Barton, are you dissatisfied with the rules and regulations of our Orthodox Church?”
nAlthough the Orthodox Church did not have such a rule, Ace would never allow anyone to condemn Monn.
nThe atmosphere instantly became tense in the meeting room.
n
