As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 151
Advertisement
San Lorenzo, the new Holy Cathedral.
In the banquet hall.
Monn solemnly accepted Francis' second son's key.
He really couldn't refuse this key.
This was equivalent to saving him ten years' worth of his assets.
How could Monn bear to refuse it?
It was just that if there were any problems in the future, he might need to settle them.
But for the sake of this villa, Monn could reluctantly lend a hand.
This was a small matter for Munn.
To be able to exchange a house for it, Monn thought it was a big profit for him.
Moreover, the king's house could not possibly be smaller than the one he had in Saint-Servant.
That would not suit the king's character.
On the other side, the red-haired young man saw Pope Monn accept the key.
He felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face.
As long as the Pope accepted the key, he could tie him to the kingdom without saying anything.
Even if it wasn't enough, should something unsolvable happen in the kingdom, they could at least approach Pope Monn for help.
Pope Monn would help them at least once considering the favor the king had done for him this time. That was the king's intention.
He didn't ask for anything, he only hoped to establish a friendly relationship with Pope Monn.
It was almost five o'clock, Monn was almost done with his social activities.
Even if there were unfinished business.
Following his own rule of getting off work at five o'clock, he wouldn't wait here any longer either.
After all, Monn, who had just got a new house, was in a hurry to get to it and see what it looked like.
Of course, he wouldn't want to waste his time here.
Ace also knew Monn's character, hence, she had already made preparations.
At the start, she had already said that the banquet would only go on until five o'clock in the evening.

When the time came, the banquet would end without delaying even for a single minute.
Thus, when the time was almost up, the guests began to walk out of the Holy Cathedral one after another.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, Monn quietly stayed in the cathedral until five o'clock.
When the time was up, Monn immediately got up.
He thought about walking out of the cathedral.
Halfway through, he remembered that he didn't seem to know the way.
So he could only turn his head and quietly look at Ace.
Seeing this, Ace rolled her eyes at him.
Of course, Ace didn't know the way either, but she had a map.
She walked to Monn's side and handed the map to him, saying, "Take a look."
Yes, even if Ace had a map, she wouldn't look at it.
Monn didn't say anything. In the end, he carefully looked for Bell Street on the map.
Then he checked the route to get there.
When he was ready, Monn put away the map and walked towards the door to get out.
Ace followed him.
Asher who had been there the whole afternoon stared blankly at the disappearing figures of the two.
She did not know what to do.
Then she looked at the practically empty cathedral in front of her.
Although this was almost the holiest and cleanest place in the whole of San Lorenzo, facing this empty cathedral still caused a hint of fear to rise in Asher's heart for no reason.
So, gritting her silver teeth, she hurriedly thought of the two who had not gone far and ran over.
After a short walk, the three of them finally arrived at Bell Street.
Ace looked at Asher with dissatisfaction, crossing her arms in front of her chest, and said, "Why did you follow us?"
Ace was very wary of any woman who wanted to get close to Monn.

After all, Mon was too outstanding.
It seemed that every girl would be attracted to him after meeting Monn.
Although he was obviously a blockhead and didn't understand the thoughts of girls at all.
The truth was just so strange, it was puzzling.
Hence, she was still very wary of Asher who shamelessly followed them.
She was very suspicious towards Asher, wondering if she had any improper thoughts towards Monn.
After all, that scene in the Elf Forest could be considered a hero saving the damsel in distress.
Ace had very good reason to suspect that Asher would accidentally fall in love with Monn.
For this, Ace added another level to the elf girl's realm.
When Asher heard Ace's question, she felt a little wronged.
She didn't understand why this woman kept targeting her.
Wasn't she the Saintess of the Orthodox Church?
Why was the Saintess like this?
After attending today's banquet, Asher had some understanding of human power and influence.
Everyone's respect towards Ace and her holy smile at the banquet,
Asher couldn't help but think if it was all fake?
In her eyes, Ace was like a witch holding a poisonous apple at this moment, wrecking her beautiful face.
But Asher had no other choice.
After all, she was living under someone else's roof and depending on them. She was sensible enough to know about this principle.
Facing Ace's question, Asher could only answer obediently, "That... the cathedral was too deserted. I was a little scared."
"Huh?"
Ace asked.
So many Holy Knights and you still felt lonely?
This made Ace feel that there was something wrong with this elf girl.
However, she did not think of the fact that the Holy Knights were all in their own dormitory rooms, while Asher was alone in the main hall of the cathedral.
It was out of the question for a girl like her to spend the night in the Holy Knight's dormitory.
It was unlikely that such a thing would happen to Ace as well.
Just as Ace was about to continue listening, Monn finally found the villa given to him by the king according to the map.
As soon as he arrived, the scene before Monn made his pupils shrink.
He had never thought that the king would be so generous.
Entering the deepest part of Bell Street, a huge manor was reflected in Munn's eyes.
The whole street belonged to this manor.
In the middle of the passageway, there was a huge fountain.
The water reflected the red moonlight.
Jumping over the fountain, the huge castle sat in front of him.
Although it was not as big as the Orthodox Church's Holy Cathedral, it was one of a kind compared to other villas.
Even the word "villa" would be an insult to this manor.
In Monn's opinion, only the word "castle" would be suitable enough to describe this manor.
Even Ace was shocked.
She had never seen such a magnificent castle in the capital city except for the Royal Castle.
At the same time, she thought of which King gave this to him.
A lot of thoughts suddenly appeared in her mind.
Could it be that the king had given Monn imperial palace that he stays at whenever he comes to San Lorenzo?
Of course, this was only Ace's guess.
She didn't dare to confirm the details.
But it couldn't be denied.
The king really favored Monn, as if he was entrusting the future in Monn's hands.
Although the Kate Kingdom treated Monn well, Ace was also very happy.
However, they still had to be mindful of this abnormally good treatment.
Should there be an opportunity to return to the capital city, it would be better to investigate further.

Re-Ordaining of the Chosen
Alea cheerfully hummed as she descended the steps, brimming in upbeat while her colleague, Quarren Leos, shot her a look of skepticism. “So… were you right about him?” he asked doubtfully. She came to a stop for a moment, her humming falling silent before she shook her head, waving her medium length light-blonde hair from side to side. “I was wrong about him.” Quarren raised an eyebrow in confusion at the convoluted response.“But you seem quite happy?” he asked again. “Because I am. But I was wrong about him. He was… so much more than I ever expected.” Alea looked at the sky overhead with a smile. “That boy… no, that man, is amazing. I firmly believe he will come to stand on top of any adversary he faces. He is destined. He is Chosen.” Quarren snorted as he stepped past, shaking his head. “Okay. Each to their own beliefs but you’re sounding like a nutjob. That skinny twig? Everyone calls him a cripple, you know,” he shook his head.“Rumours are always false, Leos,” Alea answered with a disapproving shake of her head. “You wouldn’t know. He is so, so much more.” “I saw him with my own two eyes. I didn’t see anything redeeming,” Quarren rebutted. “Well…” Alea chuckled. “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen.” In the year 917 of the Imperial Calendar, the Great War had just ended between dozens of nations. Farrien welcomed home millions of troops and warriors with the Archdukes of Aerianne and Kanaria leading them at the forefront.

All were ecstatic when the current generation of the two Archduchy's, after the war, agreed to let their children wed. The excitement was short-lived however when the Aerianne Princess proved to be a dragoness among men but the Kanarian Prince was worse than even mediocre. The Prince disappeared and the wedding was shortly forgotten as society lived on. Until one day the Young Heir of Kanaria returned to Farrien a changed man, bringing demise with him.
