Chapter 12: Prince Burton

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Of course, Monn still did not tell them about it in the end.

After all, Monn deeply understood one thing!

Keeping a low profile was the way an expert should deal with things!

The few cardinals received different missions according to Andrew’s instructions.

Andrew still let Monn be in charge of the affairs in the cathedral because he knew that he did not like to go out.

Monn went for a lunch break at noon on time.

He went to the monastery and had a sumptuous “fish feast” with Millie and Alma.

Monn had to admit after eating that.

Although he had been cooking the same three dishes for more than a year.

They were still only “edible”!

Monn felt that the atmosphere was not quite right when he returned to the cathedral two o’clock in the afternoon.

He saw many bishops and priests lined up neatly in two rows when he approached the Holy Church.

‘What’s going on?’

Monn was a little puzzled. He stopped one of the bishops and asked when he approached.

That bishop bowed respectfully and said, “Cardinal Monn, Prince Burton is coming to our church for a parade tonight. We are all rehearsing and preparing to welcome him.”

“Prince Burton?”

Monn frowned.

The prince was said to be the younger brother of the “Iron Thorn King” Aldrich, the iron-blooded monarch of the Kingdom of Kate.

However, Prince Burton’s reputation was not as good as his elder brother’s reputation!

The iron-blooded monarch, who was in his enterprising years, actively promoted civil affairs, trained the army, and issued many decrees that benefited the country and the people.

Aldrich had been known by the people of the Kingdom of Kate as “The Luck of the Kate Kingdom” ever since his accession to the throne!

However, his younger brother was a profligate playboy who loved to show off and be ostentatious!

Rumors said that Aldrich did not kill this guy when he was fighting for the throne.

It was because he was too stupid!

Aldrich did not care much about his younger brother after taking over the throne.

As long as he didn’t violate the laws of the kingdom publicly.

He didn’t have any other restrictions as a prince!

Aldrich even sent several Black Gold Rank guards to protect him.

Now, why did this guy suddenly think of paying a pilgrimage in the church?

Currently, the Orthodox Church was the only True God sect in the Kingdom of Kate.

The political and religious administration was separated, but the status was almost the same.

In other words, King Aldrich’s status was equivalent to the Pope of the Orthodox Church.

And the King’s younger brother, Prince Burton, was probably equivalent to the Pope like Andrew.

Therefore, although Monn’s status was not low as the cardinal of the Orthodox Church from the perspective of ranking.

He still could not be compared to the prince.

“Alright, then you guys continue.”

Monn shrugged and did not take this matter to heart.

No matter who was in charge or gathered these bishops and priests to do these formalistic things.

Monn did not care.

Anyway, he would have already left work when that prince came!

There was no reason for him to take up his private time even if Aldrich came.

Moreover, it was a welcoming ceremony that was completely meaningless in Monn’s eyes.

The bishop was a little stunned upon seeing that Monn was about to leave and hurriedly said.

“Bishop Monn, you... aren’t you going to welcome Prince Burton with us tonight?”

Monn was surprised.

“Why should I go with you to welcome him?”

“But Cardinal Quiniel said that everyone must go and welcome Prince Burton...”

Monn thought for a moment and said calmly.

“Welcoming Prince Burton is not part of my job, so it’s your business if you’re willing to go. I have no obligation to welcome someone who has nothing to do with me.”

“If there is any problem with the Cardinal Quiniel, ask him to come to me personally.”

Then, Monn left without waiting for the bishop’s reply.

The bishop’s face was a little dumbfounded, and he only recovered after a long time.

Beside him, a priest who had a good relationship with him glanced at him and said.

“Why do you care so much about him? Just let him offend the prince if he wants to offend him!”

The bishop hesitated for a moment and was about to say something when he heard the priest continue.

“Cardinal Monn has always been so arrogant. I heard that Prelate Vernal wanted to issue a knight challenge to him yesterday. He even asked Prelate Vernal to come to him on working hours today!”

“I have never seen him go out to fight in the past two years. Maybe he doesn’t dare to have a knight duel with Prelate Vernal at all!”

“You can’t say that... Although Cardinal Monn doesn’t usually go out to fight, he would assign the battle tasks to the bishops and archbishops reasonably!”

The bishop said hesitantly.

The priest curled his lips and looked at the back of Monn, who had already gone far away. He chuckled in disdain.

“Isn’t that because he is not strong enough?”

“He might not even care about the popes. Why would he care about a prince?”

“Don’t say that I didn’t warn you not to get involved in his affairs. Otherwise, no one will be able to save you if Prelate Vernal blames you!”

As soon as Vernal, the name of the prelate of the Judicial Department who had a strong deterrent power in the hearts of the low-level priests came out, the bishop’s expression also changed. He quickly pulled the priest back to the queue and continued to rehearse the ceremony to welcome Prince Burton.

...

Monn, who left on his own, did not take this matter to heart at all.

Not to mention that Prince Burton was not a member of the Orthodox Church at all.

Even if it was Pope Andrew or that pope asked Monn to do such meaningless things in his private time...

He would still refuse!

The discussion between the two bishops and priests just now was not wrong from that point of view.

Because Monn only treated the cardinal as a job.

He went to and from work on time, clocked in, and received a reward, doing his job well.

Then, he received the salary that he should receive every week.

That was all!

He had no obligation, nor was he interested in working overtime during non-working hours!

Monn would reasonably ask for overtime pay if he encountered a situation where he could not refuse!

Of course, the premise of overtime was on his free will!

To welcome a rich prince during non-working hours just like that...

Sorry, he was not interested!

Because two of the four cardinals were sent to deal with other outdoor matters by Andrew in the afternoon.

So, Monn’s work was busy.

Moreover, many matters were not his responsibility before, so it was not easy for him to deal with them.

It was not easy to finish all the work.

Monn realized that it was already past five o’clock when he picked up the pocket watch on his chest!

Monn directly clocked out in his mind.

[ Ding! ]

[ The clock out was successful. Host’s strength has slightly increased! ]

A slight warm current flowed into Monn’s body after clocking out.

The warm current did not have much effect at all on his current strength.

He had been clocking in and out just like that for the past two years.

Then, he had accumulated his strength to the peak of the Amethyst Rank little by little.

Monn stood up and took off his luxurious red robe after stretching his back.

He was ready to get off work.

However, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside right at that moment.

“Prince Burton has arrived!”
