As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 74

“Don't joke with me, Heidi. It's not good to have so many people watching.”

Hearing Rostislavs' words, Heidi looked disgusted as if she had seen a maggot.

She said coldly, “I'm not joking with you, Your Highness Prince Rostislav.”

Heidi sneered. She continued, “Don't worry. I'll tell my father about the annulment in a while.”

“Anyway, so many people have seen me cuddling with other men. If I continue the engagement, wouldn't that be an insult to you, Prince Rostislav?”

Heidi said with a smile, as if it was for Prince Rostislav's sake.

Prince Rostislav clenched his fists.

“Crack!”

A crisp sound suddenly sounded at the banquet, interrupting the lively atmosphere and the whole place became quiet.

Prince Rostislav took a deep breath and said, “I'm sorry. I was a bit out of control.”

Then he summoned the maid of the royal family and took the broken goblet out of his hand.

Prince Rostislav took out a handkerchief and wiped the red wine that had spilled on his hand. His eyes were gloomy and cold.

Heidi's decisiveness was unexpected to Prince Rostislav.

He did not expect that Heidi would not save face for him at all.

The fact made him angry.

But when he calmed down, he did not want to lose Frances.

This situation made him unable to come up with a solution for the time being.

He looked down and looked around, his eyes reflecting the faces of the people.

Although they didn't show anything, Rostislav still seemed to see ridicule and mockery.

This made him angry.

The fists under the attire tightened and loosened.

He only felt that he, the prince, was being a wimp.

When he calmed his anger, he thought of a way to break the situation.

He turned his eyes and saw Monn again.

It was him!

The reason for this situation was all because of him!

Otherwise, why would Heidi be in such a hurry to end the engagement?

He instinctively wanted revenge.

But Monn's strength made him feel powerless.

Wait!

Why should I take revenge on the red-robed man?

Since he was so strong, then I should just think of a way to get him to join my side, right? !

For a moment, Prince Rostislav's mood suddenly became bright.

Since I can't get Frances'support, why don't I just change my mind and get the support of this red-robed?

When Heidi marries Monn in the future, Frances would still turn his head to support me. Wouldn't he?

At this moment, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

He looked at Monn as if he was looking at a treasure.

Monn felt a chill and his eyebrows jumped. If the prince hadn't recovered in time, he might have kicked him.

Meanwhile Prince Rostislav stopped worrying about Frances and changed his target to Monn.

His intention was clear- Brother, since you had stolen my fiancée! Then come and work for me!

Just a woman!

After Prince Rostislav thought about it through, he no longer paid attention to Heidi.

He turned to look at Monn. He smiled and said, “h.e.l.lo, Cardinal Monn. I haven't had the time to introduce myself. I'm the second prince of the Kate Kingdom, Rostislav.”

Monn glanced at him and gave a faint ‘oh'.

Rostislav's enthusiasm instantly froze.

It was as if his enthusiasm had met an iceberg, causing his fiery heart to instantly turn cold.

He narrowed his eyes and thought by himself.

It seemed that it would not be so easy to rope in the cardinal.

But he had no way out.

Heidi had unilaterally announced the annulment of the engagement with him.

Although it had not been truly annulled, the rest was just a matter of formality as long as Heidi opened her mouth.

Losing the right to marry Heidi was the same as losing Frances' help.

It was undoubtedly a step further away for him to ascend to the throne.

Monn was the only straw he could grasp at the moment.

He had to grasp it!

Not caring about Monn's coldness, he continued to smile warmly and asked the question he wanted to ask the most, “With your cardinal strength, you will become the most honorable person no matter where you go. Why would you become a small pope in the Orthodox Church?”

When he asked this question, the Saintess, who was silently watching from the side, could not help but feel somewhat stunned.

Why did it seem that the flame of war had spread to Orthodox Church?

Monn glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.

To him, no matter where he was or what he was doing, it was just a job.

If he was doing it smoothly, he would continue to do it. If he wasn't doing it smoothly, he would find another job. There weren't so many questions.

Seeing that Monn did not reply, Prince Rostislav thought that he had struck something that he cared about. He could not help but smiled confidently and revealed his plans.

“Why don't Cardinal Monn come to my royal family? I can't guarantee anything else, but you will definitely get the best treatment from me. As long as I have, I can give you anything that you want!”

Hearing this, Monn suddenly laughed lightly. “Oh? Are you trying to poach me to jump ship?”

Although Prince Rostislav did not understand what exactly meant by ‘jump ship', he had roughly understood what it meant.

He nodded heavily with antic.i.p.ation in his eyes.

Beside him, Saintess Ace's expression changed when she heard the Prince Rostislav's words. She could not help but feel angry.

The prince had actually poached a member of the Orthodox Church? And in front of her?

At this moment, she couldn't help to speak, her voice was like a bone-piercing frost, “Your Highness, poaching a member of the Orthodox Church in front of me, don't you think it's a little too arrogant?”

Hearing the cold tone, Prince Rostislav couldn't help but be stunned.

He turned his head and saw the cold eyes of the Saintess staring at him. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly in his heart.

Because he had thought of a way to break the situation, he was so excited that he forgot that the Saintess was still here.

This…

This moment drove him crazy.

On the other hand, he had not received an answer from Monn. And neither did he want to offend c.

After all, the power of Orthodox Church was comparable to the kingdom.

In addition, there was still a G.o.d-rank-pope there.

Even the kingdom didn't want to offend Orthodox Church, let alone a little prince who wasn't even the heir.

“This…”

Prince Rostislav was speechless for a moment.

Heidi, who was still attached to Monn, couldn't help but gloat when she saw this.

Serves him right!

Coincidentally, at this time, the king, who had waited for a long time, finally appeared at the banquet and attracted everyone's attention.

This scene finally freed Prince Rostislav from the moment of awkwardness. He secretly let out a breath and quietly left the place, afraid that the Saintess would settle the score with him later.

As for the matter of roping in Monn, he would talk about it slowly when he found Monn to be alone in the future.

Monn, on the other hand, looked at Prince Rostislav who had sneaked away with a half-smile in his eyes.

To be honest, this was the first time he had received an invitation to change jobs. For a moment, he was quite surprised.

However, to him, who was about to become Pope, the royal family's efforts to rope him in were not even worth mentioning.
