As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime - Chapter 152
Chapter 152: Asher’s Imagination
Under the red moonlight, Monn and the other two stood quietly at the gate of the manor.
Looking at the castle that shocked them.
Even Asher’s eyes were filled with shock.
The Orthodox Church’s Holy Cathedral had already shocked her today.
After all, she had never seen such a magnificent building in the Elf Forest.
The biggest place was her mother’s assembly hall.
And most of the elves would only use trees to build houses as it would make them feel closer to nature.
She did not expect that a place for people to live in would be so big.
Humans really did know how to enjoy themselves. It was too extravagant!
As Asher lamented, Monn had already walked in.
With the key, Monn unlocked the locks.
He finally came to the main door of the castle.
Maybe the king didn’t know what Monn liked, so he didn’t arrange any servants.
This was also what made Monn satisfied.
He didn’t like strangers in his house, he preferred his house to be quiet.
When he pushed the door open, he was greeted by an array of luxurious smells.
The hall was so wide that he couldn’t see the end of it.
A few expensive-looking magic beast skins were lying on the floor.
Next to it was a very big fireplace.
Every detail in this place was lavish and grand.
Even the chandelier on top was luxurious.
Monn sat on the sofa and felt it gently for a while.
It was as if there was a lot of money in the air.
This was the smell that Monn liked.
After a while, Monn realized that he hasn’t brought Little Alma over yet.
He then said, “I’m going back to Saint-Servant.”
As soon as he said that, Asher, who was still in shock, was stunned.
Saint-Servant?
Wasn’t that about half a day’s travel from here?
What was the point of going there so late at night?
He still had to travel in the middle of the night.
Moreover, she didn’t want to be alone with the Saintess.
Just as she was thinking about this, Pope Monn’s figure disappeared in an instant.
“What… What’s wrong?!” Asher was startled and said in a panic
How did a living person suddenly disappear in front of her eyes?!
On the other hand, Ace remained calm. She even sat on the sofa and began to brew the black tea that the king’s people had placed on the table.
When Asher saw Ace’s expression, she became even more anxious.
She simply could not understand why a living person as big as Pope Monn would suddenly disappear.
Furthermore, the Saintess, who had always behaved like a young girl when she was with Pope Monn, seemed to not care at all.
Could it be that everything she saw before was just an illusion?
In fact, was the Saintess acting all along? In order to get rid of the new pope, Pope Monn?
Humans were too complicated! They were too terrifying!
At this moment, Asher instantly felt the cunning feeling that her mother had described to her about humans.
She was absolutely right about it.
What would happen next?
Would she be silenced since she witnessed all this?
And what would be the fate of Pope Monn?
If not for Monn, she might have become the plaything of the human nobles.
She gritted her silver teeth, her eyes filled with determination.
Although her strength might not be enough, she would still do her best to save her life savior!
Just as she was about to fight with Ace with all her might, a ripple seemed to have appeared in the hall.
The next moment, Monn’s figure appeared in the hall again.
He was holding a little girl’s hand.
His other hand was gesturing a simple salute.
The situation in front of Asher made her freeze on the spot.
She did not know what to do.
At the same time, the momentum she had built up to fight Ace was completely drained.
Her eyes were blank.
Just when she was ready to fight with the Saintess, Pope Monn suddenly appeared here and brought back a little girl?
Asher was stunned.
Seeing this, Ace stood up from the sofa.
She pulled Alma’s little hand into her own.
Looking at the stunned Asher, she frowned.
This elf, what kind of terrible idea was she thinking of again?
“Wow! Sister Ace, this place is so big!”
Alma’s exclamation pulled Ace back.
She looked at Alma and smiled. “Yes, this will be our home from now on.”
“We are going to live in such a big house?”
Alma blinked her sparkling eyes, feeling somewhat doubtful.
This place was much bigger than their villa in Saint-Servant.
Alma hesitated for a moment and asked, “But this will cost a lot of money, right?”
Seeing this, Ace chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, someone gifted this house to your father.”
“A gift?”
Elma’s face was full of doubt.
With the amount of dowry her father could afford, he actually managed to befriend someone from such a rich family?
Seeing Alma’s doubtful expression, Monn suddenly felt as if his chest had been pierced by an arrow.
He was a little hurt.
Ace looked at him with amusement.
Then, she continued to assure Alma, “Don’t worry, this is indeed a gift from someone else to your father.”
Listening to Sister Ace’s repeated assurances, Elma was finally completely relieved.
She immediately sat down on the sofa.
The softness of the sofa instantly spread throughout Alma’s entire body.
She let out a comfortable sigh.
Her cute appearance instantly hit Ace’s heart.
So adorable!
Ace exclaimed in her heart.
At this moment, Alma, who was rolling around on the sofa, noticed the unusual person.
She had waist-length golden hair and long pointy ears.
Her exquisite facial features instantly made Alma feel endlessly curious.
“Sister Ace, who is this?”
Ace followed Alma’s line of sight and looked over.
At a glance, she saw the stunned and doubtful Asher.
Frankly speaking, Asher was really confused at the moment.
She looked as if she was about to fight a dragon.
But the next moment, the scene before her suddenly changed.
It became a scene depicting the daily life of a warm and sweet family of three.
This sudden change made Asher stunned enough that she wasn’t able to come back to her senses for a long time.
At that moment, Ace introduced to Alma, “Oh, this is the elf lady I picked up on the road today.”
“Picked up?”
Alma asked this word with some confusion.
Hearing Ace’s introduction, Asher’s fair face instantly darkened.
She was now even more certain in her heart, this woman really had a very bad impression of her!
But what exactly was the reason? Asher couldn’t think of it.
It couldn’t be because of Pope Monn, right?
