As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 15
Advertisement
While waiting for Andrew to arrive.
Even Quiniel did not dare to continue to anger Monn.
In the era where strength was respected.
Power, status, and money were all assets that would make others respect a person.
However, the most respected ones.
It could only be those experts!
He would receive sufficient respect no matter where he went once he grasped powerful abilities!
Moreover, in Quiniel's guesses, Monn had very likely already broken through to the Holy Rank at this moment!
The Holy Rank was the most powerful group of people in this world!
All were mortals below the True God!
And at the peak of mortals was the Holy Rank existence!
For a moment, the small path was silent. Those bishops and archbishops did not even dare to breathe loudly!
Whether it was Monn, Quiniel, or Prince Burton...
They were all existences that they could not afford to provoke!
Some of the bishops even felt some resentment towards Quiniel.
Why did he provoke Cardinal Monn?
Why didn't he find an excuse to fool Prince Burton?
Wasn't it enough for them to accompany him and act like dogs there?
He had to provoke a tiger!
Was he happy now that he was killed by the tiger instead?
If Quiniel were to hear the thoughts of these bishops.
He would probably be aggrieved!
Of course, if there was a chance to return to the first ten minutes ago.
Quiniel would not choose to stop Mon!
This guy doesn't play by the rules!
Why was there even a person who didn't even care about the man's identity and kicked him until he was seriously injured?
Moreover, Prince Burton's status was so high.
He was the king's younger brother!
Was it so difficult for him to go over and pay his respects to the prince?

Why couldn't he bow since everybody was doing it?
However, looking at Monn, who had a calm expression and cold look in his eyes.
Quiniel did not dare to say a word.
That person...
He indeed could choose not to bow!
The existence of the Holy Rank Ability.
He had the right not to bow even in front of King Aldrich!
That was the effect of ability!
...
The pope was waiting for Prince Burton in the Holy Church.
He was not like Quiniel, who was purely licking the boots.
Andrew accepted Burton's visit because he had something important to discuss.
Although Prince Burton was a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, he could not resist the fact that his status was high enough!
At this time, there was also a secret envoy sent by King Aldrich to talk to Andrew in Prince Burton's diplomatic mission.
Simply put, Burton was just a mascot!
King Aldrich couldn't directly come to talk to Andrew. After all, the Kingdom of Kate was separated nominally from the church and politics, and their identities were sensitive.
Sending someone with too low a status would also show disrespect to Andrew.
Thus, they sent Burton, the mascot, over to hold the reputation...
Who knew that this dog-licking Quiniel...
When Pope Andrew said "welcome", it was directly interpreted as a "grand welcoming"…
He could only say that the boot licker's powerful imagination was the same in every era!
"Pope! Pope!"
"It's bad! Cardinal Quiniel, Prince Burton, and Cardinal Monn are fighting!"
A bishop staggered and rushed in from outside the holy church.
He did not even have the time to bow and shouted directly!
"What?"
Andrew was shocked!
What was going on? Prince Burton had not even arrived at the holy church, and he was already fighting with the cardinal under him?

"Speak clearly. Who was fighting with whom?"
"It was... it was Cardinal Monn who beat up one of Prince Burton's guards in front of the Holy Church!"
"Cardinal Quiniel asked all of us to go and welcome Prince Burton. In the end, the Cardinal Monn just got off work and was unwilling to pay respect to Prince Burton, and then..."
The bishop roughly explained the situation and then continued with an anxious look.
"Pope, quickly go and take a look!"
"I'm afraid that Cardinal Monn will even beat up Quiniel if we don't go over now!"
Andrew's face was gloomy.
He could almost imagine the situation.
There were already bishops and archbishops who expressed their dissatisfaction with Monn for coming to work and going off on time.
That matter had even been brought to Vernal, the prelate of the Judicial Department.
Later, he was the one who personally persuaded Vernal to stop this matter from continuing to ferment.
Now, such a thing had happened again!
"Quiniel, that idiot!"
Andrew could not help but curse angrily.
It gave the bishop beside him a fright.
Why did the Pope scold Cardinal Quiniel?
Was it not because Cardinal Monn was unwilling to pay respect to Prince Burton?
Such a thing would not have happened today as long as he paid his respect!
But he naturally did not dare to say these words to Andrew.
He could only silently criticize in his heart.
Andrew was having a headache.
Other than going to and from work on time and rarely going out to hunt dark creatures.
Monn, the cardinal, had almost no shortcomings!
Monn could quickly and efficiently complete the matters he arranged!
And there would never be any mistakes!
To be honest, any wise leader would like this kind of subordinate!
As for the little problem of never working overtime and going to and from work on time.
It was not a problem at all, in Andrew's opinion!
His work efficiency was already enough to complete all his work perfectly during his working hours, so why would he still work overtime?
But...
He had beaten up the subordinate of that prince, after all!
Although almost everyone in the Kingdom of Kate knew that this was a fool who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
But he was also a prince!
He was the younger brother of King Aldrich!
As long as Aldrich was still the king, then Burton, this fool would always be that high and mighty prince before he openly violated the laws of the kingdom!
On one side was the subordinate that he valued highly, and on the other side was the prince who, although stupid, had a noble status.
How should he deal with the conflict between them...
Andrew sighed lightly.
He cursed again!
"Quiniel, this idiot!"
Even he had similar thoughts as those bishops.
Why did he f*cking provoke Mon?
He never worked overtime, and it was not the first time Quiniel knew that!
Moreover, was that idiot prince worthy of his high-profile welcome?
Was an idiot like that worthy of him provoking Monn?
Of course, if Quiniel didn't know that Prince Burton was a fool...
Then he would be even more of a fool!

Contact Through Voided Lenses
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Edit: Fixed some inaccuracies in the synopsis. The void is a vast unexplored ocean filled with various wonders and dangers all waiting to be explored by those brave enough to travel and record. Many souls do find themselves brave enough to face the vast distances, the various risks to personal safety and do the hundreds of task required on a craft. However, at times the void itself can be boring with absolutely nothing to do but as time pass and more and better technology is reached, things got better. The various trips got faster, communications became faster than light and you can be home to see your loved ones after only months now. Through the various planets whether rocky or gaseous, the various stars whether small or giant, the various systems both eerily similar or completely alien. As part of an expeditionary scientific exploratory survey craft, one could see that the void offers no reprieve from all the discoveries and wonders. At times, it can feel empty and silent where no soul can hear you scream and at others it can be overwhelming with sudden phenomenon that can overwhelm the brightest of minds. The void itself is a truly fascinating ocean where one must chart the various islands or drown in its deadly tidal waves. But the question still remained no matter how you try to hide it in of itself… is there truly other intelligent life out there? Are we alone in this ocean? Those very questions still haunt the minds of those on the crafts themselves as they brace for every jump ready for the unknown and the known. Many would try to explain that yes there is other intelligent life out there whilst other still say no after 2 centuries of continuous flight out of the home system. Still, those are questions that bury deep in the minds of the crew and those at home as the voidcraft jumps to a system with a single yellow star orbited by 8 other planets with one crowning blue jewel being the 3rd closest with its 5 oceans and 7 continents, a planet called Dirt which is inhabited by a primitive species called Humanity. Hello, author here and this is my newest dive into writing particularly for the Writathon currently in progress being my first one. I hope you give me story a try but in case you still want more information on what you’re getting into, below are some pointers about the story itself. First Contact: CTVL is a story about a first contact scenario between an advanced alien civilization and a slightly more advanced modern day humanity on their planet called Dirt. Characters: The story will take place mainly on the perspective of the alien visitors themselves though there will be human POV characters who will show how the rest of humanity react through media and forums. Action: It won’t be an actual alien invasion but you have to see for yourself how well first contact went. Sci-Fi: I will be very forward here, I WILL bend the rules of physics in order to add in parts of the plot and there WILL be parts that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Theme: It will be a brooding story talking about the futility of pe… Just kidding, it’s mostly wholesome stuff to be honest here. Alien: The aliens themselves will… actually why should I tell you, you have to go and read it to find out what the aliens are though I will draw a few things here and there to aid in the process. Extra tidbit: If you are a grammar nazi or someone who really wants a realistic scifi story... this story is probably not for you at all. Anyways, that’s pretty much all I can say before I spoil something major of the plot itself, the story is slice of life so make sure that type of story is what you like because I am terrible with anything else as I found out, anyways, have a good time everyone and good luck to the other Writathon participants.
