As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 16
Advertisement
He sighed in his heart, but the problem still had to be solved.
Andrew took his God's scepter and put the thorn garland on his head.
He walked out of the Holy Church and headed to where everyone was.
At this time, the few people on the path were still confronting each other.
But the more they confronted each other, the more panicked they felt except for Monn!
After all, the man in front of him was a man who had seriously injured a black gold-rank with a kick and then healed him with a healing spell!
If such a person were to lose his temper, at least 80% of the people present, if not all, would be seriously injured.
After waiting for a few minutes, even the foolish Prince Burton started to feel panic!
"You... yes, it's you! Go and take a look again. Why hasn't Pope Andrew arrived yet?"
The last bit of dignity that he had as a prince made it impossible for Burton to just leave!
If that was the case, his older brother who was known as "The Luck of the Kate Kingdom" and "The Iron Thorn King" would probably rip his head off!
The dignity of the royal family could not be humiliated!
This was the only belief that could make Burton, who was filled with fear, persist in not running away on the spot!
Finally!
"What happened?"
Andrew's voice came from not far away!
Prince Burton suddenly felt a huge weight lifted off his heart!
He looked at Monn provocatively, and then met Monn's cold eyes!
Prince Burton shrunk his neck and subconsciously turned his eyes away!
Then, his heart was once again filled with sense of incompetence and fury!
'Just you wait... a little cardinal actually dares to treat me like this!'
'Just you wait, just you wait!'
When Andrew, dressed in a white robe with golden edges, slowly approached from the end of the path, Burton immediately stood up from the carriage!

Then, he pointed at Andrew's nose and cursed!
"Andrew, what kind of subordinate you have?!"
"I only asked him to come over to pay his respect, but he directly beat up my guards in front of the palace until they were seriously injured!"
"Andrew, you have to give me an explanation for this matter!"
"Otherwise, HMPH HMPH..."
After Burton shouted, he looked in the direction of Monn, his eyes filled with provocation!
It was as if he was saying, "I in fact can't handle you, but now the person who can handle you has finally arrived!"
"I'll see how you can still jump!"
Then, Burton heard Andrew's faint voice.
"Prince Burton, otherwise, what will happen?"
"Eh?"
Burton turned his head with a blank look and looked at Andrew who seemed to have a cold look in his eyes.
Straightaway he was stunned!
Otherwise, what would happen...
How the hell would he know?
Otherwise, he would only to return to his teacher and get beaten up by his own brother!
But...
When others threatened people, didn't they usually say in this manner ?
Burton felt that he was very innocent!
When he usually bullied men and women outside, he also said the same!
For example:
"I am Prince Burton. Send your sister to my bedroom tonight, or else, HMPH!"
"Apologize to me immediately, or else, HMPH!"
Just now, he merely said it subconsciously.
But...
Why didn't Pope Andrew react accordingly?
Didn't everyone else nod their heads and agree to anything he said?
Looking at Prince Burton who was at a loss, Andrew cursed in his heart disdainfully.
"Idiot!"
Then, he still looked at Burton quietly and asked faintly.
"Prince Burton, you haven't answered me. Otherwise, what would happen?"
"... You, you, you... It's his fault. He should apologize to me... otherwise, uh..."
Burton stammered and didn't know what to say.
He had never encountered such a thing!

In the past, the people he bullied were mostly commoners.
Under the leadership of his elder brother's trusted aides who were proficient in "bullying", such a situation had never happened before!
But today, because he had to go to the Orthodox Church, the King did not let him take the "trusted aides" with him!
Burton really wanted to cry. He wanted to ask his trusted aides what he should do under such circumstances.
If his trusted aides were present, they would probably curse!
We brought you here to bully people. We had always targeted commoners who had no power or influence!
You're doing great this time!
You're directly bullying the head of the Orthodox Church!
What was the Orthodox Church? It's the only true God church in the Kingdom of Kate!
That Pope was a true God, who could make you vanish into thin air just by looking at you!
Was the Orthodox Church something we could provoke?
However, his trusted aides were not here...
Burton turned his gaze to his subordinates in the team. Almost everyone lowered their heads when Burton's gaze passed by!
Finally, an old man sighed softly and walked out of the team.
"Pope Andrew, long time no see!"
"Teacher Barlow, long time no see!"
When he saw the old man come out, Andrew did not show any surprise on his face.
Obviously, he had seen this person a long time ago.
The reason why he was interrogating Prince Burton was because he wanted him to stand up and solve it!
On his way, Andrew had already figured it out
One side was an outstanding subordinate, and the other was a prince whom he could not beat or scold even with his status.
It was not good to offend either one!
This matter could only be handled by the person whom King Aldrich had secretly sent to talk to him!
Letting him handle it was the best way to handle the matter!
When Barlow stood up, this matter was no longer a matter between Prince Monn and Prince Burton.
Instead, it was a direct dialogue between the Orthodox Church and the Kate Kingdom!
Some matters were easier to resolve by turning a big matter into a small one, but there were also some matters that were easier to handle by turning from small to big!
"Pope Andrew, this matter is indeed something we did wrong."
The identity of the person whom Andrew called "Teacher Barlow" was not simple!
Strictly speaking, this person could be called the emperor's teacher!
He was the teacher of King Aldrich when he was young.
During the process of Aldrich seizing the throne, he had contributed significantly and played a very important role!
Now, in that strict palace, there were only two people who could make Aldrich lower his head and show the courtesy of a junior!
One was the Blade Saint Errol, and the other was the emperor teacher in front of him, Barlow!
Being able to be trusted by Aldrich, Barlow's mind was naturally very flexible!
After all, this was the Orthodox Church's home ground.
As long as it didn't possess absolute logic, then there was nothing much to say. Apologizing wasn't something that couldn't be accepted.
And he had witnessed the conflict between Burton and Monn...
There was no logic from either party.
In Barlow's opinion, that foolish palace guard, Will, should be directly dragged out to feed the dogs!
If you were to be tough, then be tough to the end!
At that time, once Monn killed him, then the final solution to this matter would definitely be Monn apologizing!
Unless he betrayed the Orthodox Church!
However, after being saved by Monn's healing spell, he actually kneeled in front of Monn like a dog and begged bitterly.
He really deserved to die!

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
