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

St. Servant, dusk.

The sun was setting in the west, and the whole land was bright red.

The werewolf army did not attack since Monn brought Cheryl back to the St. Servant’s city.

At five o’clock in the evening, Monn got off his duty on time.

Two beautiful women followed behind him.

But Monn didn’t care at all. He even felt a little annoyed.

Because according to the situation, there would be two more freeloaders in his small villa today.

Monn went to the Holy Cathedral to pick up Alma, who was still at Millie’s place after work.

Monn could not endure his frustration anymore when they arrived at the market.

He looked at the two women behind him and asked, “Are you two going to my house for dinner?”

Ace tilted her head in confusion and asked. “Aren’t we going now?”

Monn, “…”

Monn was speechless by Ace’s expression that her eating dinner in his house was a routine.

On 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.”

Monn’s eyes immediately lit up when he saw the gold pounds in Cheryl’s hand.

As expected of the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Kate. She was indeed generous.

“Cough, we’re all friends. There’s is no need to be so polite.”

Monn 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.

Monn did not even look at the gold pound and directly put it into his pocket.

There were so many of them. He did not even need to count to know that he had earned a lot from that meal.

Then, 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?”

Ace awkwardly looked away. She didn’t look at Monn at all, trying to act dumb.

Monn sighed. He couldn’t do anything to her.

But at least he had gained something today and quite some amount of money.

His meal had always been cheap.

The eldest princess touched her pocket. She felt awkward.

She felt that Monn had used her money to feed another woman.

However, Cheryl did not care about that small amount of money to spend more time with Monn.

At the same time, she also discovered Monn’s hidden attribute: Money-minded.

Then, Monn brought Alma, Cheryl, and Ace to buy some extra ingredients and went straight home.

After all, Sheryl had given so many gold pounds, and Monn was not a greedy person, so he made something better for dinner.

Just as they were eating, there was a knock on the door. Monn was puzzled and walked over to open the door.

He saw a Holy Knight standing at the door with a panic look on his face when he opened the door.

The werewolves suddenly launched an attack, and General Barton asked them to inform Cardinal Monn about it.

But the Holy Knights were familiar with Monn’s working attitude.

Monn would get off work on time at 5.00 p.m. sharp no matter what happened.

Knowing Monn’s temper, the Holy Knights didn’t dare to look for Monn.

So, they told General Barton Cardinal Monn’s’ routine.

But General Barton ignored what they told him.

He 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.

However, none of the Holy Knights wanted to take that responsibility, so they had to draw lots to decide who would go.

In the end, the Holy Knight at Monn’s door was the unlucky one.

He looked at Monn, clenched teeth, and said, “Well, Cardinal Monn, the werewolves suddenly launched an attack. General Barton asked me to inform you, so…”

Monn frowned. Even if the werewolves launched an attack, it would not be easy for them to break through the St. Servant’s city wall.

Monn 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.”

Monn closed the door after he said that.

The Holy Knight smiled bitterly when he saw the tightly shut door.

He had already expected this outcome.

In the villa, Ace looked at Monn in a puzzle and asked, “Who is it?”

Ace had stayed at Monn’s house for a few days, but she hadn’t seen anyone come to his house.

So, she suspected something fishy was hapenning. She wondered if it was the person who gave the sword to Monn.

Monn said casually, “It’s the Holy Knights.”

“Holy Knights?”

Ace became even more confused when she heard that.

Monn continued, “Yes, the werewolves suddenly attacked. They said that General Barton asked me to go over.”

“Hm, you refuse them…”

Ace, who knew Monn’s personality, asked speechlessly.

Monn replied, “Of course.”

“I knew it.”

Ace sighed.

Cheryl, on the other hand, had no idea what they meant.

However, she still understood what Monn said about the werewolf attack.

So she said seriously, “We must go there at once since the werewolves attacked!”

Monn looked at her strangely. Didn’t she hear that he had refused to go?

On the other hand, Ace was speechless. She pushed Cheryl, who wanted to drag Monn along, out.

Sheryl was stunned and said, “Aren’t we waiting for Cardinal?”

Ace said seriously, “Monn has already gotten off work. He won’t do anything related to work during non-working hours.”

Cheryl could not get what Ace explained to her.

Get off work?

Sigh, 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.

At the front line.

The Holy Knight who had gone to inform Monn had already rushed back.

A surprised expression appeared on Barton’s wrinkled face when he found out why Monn had refused to come to the front line.

Then, he felt displeasure surging in him.

“I thought Cardinal Monn was a great cardinal, but it turned out to be such an irresponsible guy!”

Barton sat on the main seat of the meeting room and snorted coldly.

The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside.

The next moment, the meeting room door was opened from outside.

Ace and Cheryl walked in from outside.

Ace saw General Barton’s displeased look as soon as she entered the meeting room.

Ace 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.”

General Barton snorted when he heard that. “Cardinal Monn is arrogant! Since when did we have such a thing called off duty!”

He sounded displeased with Monn’s attitude.

Ace squinted her eyes and said coldly. “General Barton, are you dissatisfied with the rules and regulations of our Orthodox Church?”

Although the Orthodox Church did not have such a rule, Ace would never allow anyone to condemn Monn.

The atmosphere instantly became tense in the meeting room.
