As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 150 – A Congratulatory Gift From The King

After settling the matter of the elf girl, Monn and the others arrived at the city gate of San Lorenzo.

Along the way, Monn and the others finally learned the elf girl's name.

Asher.

A name that sounded very pleasant.

However, Monn, who treats girls like a piece of wood, did not feel anything at all.

He spoke to the guard at the city gate.

After learning of Monn's ident.i.ty, the guard's eyes were filled with respect.

After all, he was the Cardinal of the Orthodox Church.

Of course, they also knew that their city had set up a holy church of the Orthodox Church.

Therefore, the fact that so many Holy Knights came was not too strange.

Monn and Ace brought the mighty Holy Knights to the newly built church.

In the bustling downtown of San Lorenzo.

A silver building that looked like a kingdom's castle stood tall.

It attracted the residents of the middle s.h.i.+eld to stop and watch.

From time to time, they let out one or two exclamations.

They all admired the glorious momentum of this holy church.

Even the Holy Knights who had rushed all the way here were full of amazement.

This was much more magnificent than their Holy Cathedral in Saint-Servant.

It was as if one of them was meticulously carved by a master craftsman.

The other one seemed to be casually made by him.

People could see the difference at a glance.

Even Ace was full of amazement.

“It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful Holy Cathedral!”

Although Monn also felt a little strange, he didn't have such a big reaction as they did.

Instead, he held his chin and had the idea of grabbing some gems at the top and selling them for money.

Of course, this idea was just a thought.

Soon, the entire church became lively after the Holy Knights entered.

Although so many people had entered, the Holy Cathedral didn't feel crowded at all.

This was something that Monn was quite satisfied with.

Soon, everyone familiarized themselves with the environment.

Under the witness of the entire population of San Lorenzo, Saintess Ace personally put on the coronation crown for Monn that belonged to the Pope of the Orthodox Church. She also put on him clothes that were of the same style as Pope Andrew.

After a round of prayer to the Lord, Monn became the Pope of the Orthodox Church in San Lorenzo.

However, Monn was a little tired of these c.u.mbersome rituals.

But it couldn't be helped, this was also part of the job.

Monn had no reason to refuse.

The coronation ceremony was over.

The royal family members in San Lorenzo who received the news also began coming forward to congratulate him.

After all, it was the new Pope of the Orthodox Church.

This was a big deal in the Kingdom of Kate.

Of course, their kingdom's congratulatory gifts could not be absent.

Monn received these people in all sorts of ways.

One of them, a young man with short red hair, was somewhat familiar to Monn.

This was… the red-haired young man walked over.

He took out a gift and congratulated, “Congratulations on the appointment, Pope Monn. It's a small gift, I hope you like it.”

As he spoke, he placed the gift on the table.

Monn did not open it.

Ace leaned against Monn's ear and gently introduced him, “This is the second son of the Francis family. The entire San Lorenzo can be considered his territory.”

When he heard the words 'Francis', Monn immediately came back to his senses.

He thought of the red-haired n.o.ble girl he had met in the capital.

However, when Munn heard ace say that this San Lorenzo was his territory, he could not help but smack his tongue.

This was an evil n.o.ble's idea.

To think that an entire city belonged to one person.

How much would the annual taxes cost?

For the first time, Monn found it difficult to maintain his poker face.

At this moment, the red-haired youth said again, “Pope Monn hasn't come to the capital for a long time. My sister misses you a lot.”

The corners of Monn's mouth twitched when he thought of that pretentious girl.

He pretended not to hear him and did not say anything.

On the other hand, Ace was like a little lion that had been angered the whole time, glaring angrily at Francis' second son.

Seeing this, Francis hurriedly raised his hands above his head and made a surrendering gesture.

He smiled embarra.s.sedly.

At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Pope Monn was really popular.

All three beauties in the entire king's city were actually focused on Pope Monn.

As for the three beauties…

Of course, there was the holy and elegant Saintess Ace, the ice-cold and n.o.ble Princess Cheryl, the oldest princess.

And his little sister, Heidi, who was quick-witted and arrogant.

His evaluation was very impressive.

He even knew exactly what his little sister was like.

But it had to be said, there was no woman in the whole kingdom who was more beautiful than the three of them.

But it seemed that his little sister's chances were not high.

The red-haired young man looked at the Saintess who looked as if she was protecting her calf.

He shook his head in his heart.

Though he should deal with his little sister's matter on his own.

He would just have to inform her tomorrow, the rest would depend on his little sister's own luck.

After thinking it through, the red-haired youth gave a friendly smile to Ace.

He wanted to use this to dispel Ace's wariness towards him.

However, it was not very effective.

It was not so easy for Ace to forgive someone.

Seeing this, he could only continue to laugh bitterly. Then, he looked at Monn and said, “His Majesty heard the news of Pope Monn's coronation. He specially asked me to bring a gift over.”

As he spoke, he slowly took out a key.

This gift made Monn and Ace somewhat curious.

Seeing this, the red-haired youth laughed lightly, he said, “This is the key to the moving villa on Bell Street. I believe that Pope Monn probably doesn't have a place to stay yet since this is your first trip to San Lorenzo. Hence, His Majesty specially asked me to give that villa to Pope Monn as a congratulatory gift.”

Hearing that it was a moving villa, Monn immediately raised his eyebrows.

He thought of the small villa he bought in Saint-Servant.

For that small villa, Monn had emptied almost ten years of his savings at that time.

It could be seen that the price of a house in the Kate Kingdom was ridiculously high.

Monn, who originally thought that he would have to buy a new house in a different place this time, immediately saved ten years' worth of money.

He didn't say no.

After all, it was a gift. It would be bad if he didn't accept it.

Moreover, it was a gift from the king.

Monn would never do such a shameful thing.

So he accepted the key honorably.

He said, “I'll accept this gift from the king. When I'm free, I'll visit the capital city more often.”

This was a lie.

Ace saw through Monn's true purpose at a glance.

It was to smoothly accept the key.

Ace had already seen through Monn's intentions.
