As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime Chapter 187
Advertisement
The Elf Forest.
The air was filled with the faint smell of blood.
But the smell was so faint that it did not affect the sense of smell of Monn and the others.
Jerome had a plan in mind for Monn.
And in his mind, the one who could hinder his little sister was the Saintess of the Orthodox Church.
As a man of genius,
Jerome could already see that Her Highness was also very interested in Pope Monn.
Why else would Her Highness, who used to be active in the capital, have recently disappeared from the capital?
The people of the capital have begun to tell of the story of Her Highness, the Saintess, eloping with Monn.
But Her Highness still hadn't come back to explain.
Jerome knew very well that Pope Monn was not interested in mere mortals.
Only the Francis family had a better chance.
Because one of their family members had already infiltrated the Monn family.
It was a big step towards success.
The next thing to think about was how to eliminate the competition.
The only thing that troubled Jerome was,
What was so different about Their Highnesses Heidi and Ace?
Beauty?
From Jerome's point of view, the two should be neck and neck.
Although the King's city flower was given to Ace.
From Jerome's point of view.
His little sister was on par with Ace.
They were both fair competition for each other.
They were really similar.
However, in terms of strength,
Well...
Jerome was instantly speechless.
The gap was too big.
He was too embarrassed to compare them.
Heidi did not have no chance.
However, Heidi did have a special talent.
That was the luck favored by the Goddess of Luck.
Anything that was bad for Heidi would disappear,
And everything would turn out good for Heidi.

This ability would not only help Heidi,
But it could also help Pope Monn.
After all, the ability to improve luck was not common.
Once, when Heidi's talent was exposed, it attracted a lot of assassinations.
But everything was dissolved by Heidi's invincible luck.
And now, it was time for this talent to show its power again.
Heidi's happiness and the future situation of the Francis family,
All depended on Heidi's invincible talent.
Jerome had already thought of all external factors.
When there was time, he would teach Heidi about the etiquette of girls.
In terms of personality, Jerome didn't want her to change.
After all, the changed Heidi would no longer be the real Heidi.
But her unruly character was about to be tamed.
No man would like an unruly girl.
And then, there was the last question.
Her Highness was the Saintess of the Orthodox Church.
Her Highness had every reason to be at Pope Monn's side at all times,
It was in case the mission went out of control.
This natural advantage of being close to Monn had left Heidi far behind.
It was still a long way to go.
At the very least, Heidi and the Saintess had to be on the same starting line.
Within a short period of time,
Jerome had already thought of the future direction of his family.
Heidi had no idea that her future had already been arranged by her second brother.
Of course, even if Heidi knew, she probably wouldn't care.
After all, she like Monn.
It was just that the process arranged by her second brother might not have been very satisfactory to her.
After all, no one wanted their life to be planned by others.
There would certainly be complaints in their hearts.
But in the end, Heidi would be satisfied.

If Heidi knew all this, she would be upset.
She clearly wanted to enjoy the process of pursuing Monn on her own.
She wouldn't want her family to get Monn for her.
This would make her unhappy.
Luckily for now, Heidi still did not know.
Jerome looked behind him.
Heidi's eyes were almost overflowing with admiration for Pope Monn.
He smiled in his heart.
He was even more certain that his decision was not the slightest bit wrong.
Heidi suddenly shivered.
It was as if she sensed that someone wanted to make arrangements for her.
It was a warning from her innate ability.
But Heidi also felt that this warning was not malicious at all.
Instead, it was full of kindness.
But the warning from her innate ability made her a little confused.
Could it be that the innate ability that had accompanied her for 18 years was malfunctioning today?
Unable to understand it, Heidi simply stopped thinking about it.
She continued to look at Monn.
Her eyes were filled with admiration once again.
He is indeed the right man for me!
He is so powerful!
Ace looked at Heidi warily.
She knew that she was up to no good.
Ace knew that she had to guard against Heidi.
She had to prevent any chance for Heidi to come into contact with Monn.
Monn did not know what the others were thinking.
He quietly looked at the Elf Forest.
His eyes, which were filled with Holy Power looked into the depths of the Elf Forest.
In a trance, he saw a group of figures.
Monn narrowed his eyes.
He increased the Holy Power in his eyes.
He could clearly see the faces of those figures.
"Elves?"
Monn muttered to himself.
His voice was very soft.
But everyone present was a person with great power.
No matter what, his soft voice would be easily caught by them.
But he didn't care.
Eiffel thought that Monn was calling them.
Since that was how Monn addressed them,
They thought that Pope Munn was calling them again.
Eiffel stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, Pope Monn?"
Monn raised his chin slightly and gestured.
Eiffel looked ahead in confusion.
A thick sandstorm was rolling toward them.
Eiffel's eyes focused.
The sandstorm did not seem normal in any way.
Eiffel's face became serious.
He thought something was going to happen.
He quickly gathered Holy Power to his eyes.
Through the Holy Power,.
Eiffel clearly saw a huge team coming toward them.
But that team was familiar to Eiffel.
"Elves?"
Eiffel blurted out.
This time, everyone's eyes finally focused on them.
Just now, Eiffel thought that Monn was calling them.
But now, Eiffel had started to call out.
Now they knew that Monn wasn't calling them.
Everyone walked forward.
Their eyes looked in the direction of where Eiffel and Monn were looking at.
Heavy dust rolled in.
Everything became serious.
