As A Cardinal, I Don't Do Overtime

Chapter 73: Engagement was Unilaterally Canceled

“Hi, Ace! We meet again!”

A voice that made Ace felt disgusting rang in her ears.

Ace instantly looked unhappy as she saw Heidi who was clinging tightly to Monn.

But this time, it was not like yesterday on the street.

It was a royal banquet.

With so many pairs of eyes from the nobles around her, Ace could only suppress her anger.

She roared in her heart, “You’re dead, Heidi!”

Unable to roar at Heide, she could only put on a fake smile and said, “Yes, Heidi. I didn’t expect to see you again so soon. Were you alright yesterday?”

In other words, you didn’t scare the hell out of you, did you?

Hearing Ace talked about yesterday, Heidi’s mood suddenly became less beautiful.

She looked at Ace with eyes like a kitten holding a grudge.

Then she heard Ace said, “I remember that you are engaged to Prince Rostislav of the royal family. Aren’t you afraid that the royal family will blame you for holding a man so boldly at the banquet?”

Hearing Ace’s words, Heidi looked disdainful. “Humph, that dark man is not worthy of me!”

“So what? With a marriage contract, you still need to marry him.”

Ace mocked.

Heidi heard Ace’s words, but she was not angry at all.

She smiled and said proudly, “Humph, you still don’t know me well enough, Ace.”

At this point, she paused a little, shook her slender index finger, and continued calmly, “I am the darling of the world. As long as I don’t want to marry him, even a god can’t do anything about it. So what if there is a marriage contract?”

Hearing Heidi’s shameless words, Ace stuck out her tongue in disgust, looking disgusted.

Heidi, on the other hand, did not have the slightest awareness.

Because she was born to be favored by the world, she did not feel that there was anything wrong with what she said.

At this time, finally, a noble noticed the situation at Monn’s place, and immediately, surprised voices rang out.

“Isn’t that the little princess of the Frances Family? Why is she cuddling with a cardinal of the Orthodox? They seemed to be very close.”

“Isn’t she engaged to Prince Rostislav? But why?”

“Hiss… could it be?”

“Shh, this isn’t something we should discuss!”

The nobles who came to the banquet were all shocked when they saw this scene.

For a moment, rumors spreaded.

At this time, a few men from the Frances finally noticed the commotion Heidi had caused.

The old Duke Francis saw Heidi held the man in red robe intimately. He was driven to crazy at that moment.

He immediately said, “This little bastard, can’t she just do something quietly?”

Heidi’s eldest brother had a different opinion. He frowned and said, “Who is that man? Is he reliable? Why didn’t Heidi tell me that she is fond of him? What if he is a bad guy?”

Heidi’s second brother also nodded and said, “I will check the identity of the red-robed man when I go back.”

Heidi’s third brother scratched his head and asked, “Can the red-robed men of the Orthodox Church get married?”

“Well…”

They looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment.

Even the old Duke, who was driven to crazy, was stunned when he thought of this question.

The nobles who heard the conversation of the Frances family could not help but be speechless.

Did the family forget that the little princess was engaged to Prince Rostislav of the kingdom?

Of course the Frances family knew, but they did not take the engagement seriously.

For them, as long as Heidi was happy, so what if the engagement was canceled?

The Frances family was not afraid of the threat of the royal family.

On the other side, Prince Rostislav, who was talking with the nobles and building his network, had noticed the situation on Heidi’s side earlier on.

The blue veins on his neck were bulging, and even the injury caused by the glance at Errol in the morning seemed to show signs of recurrence.

But because he was wearing a high-necked gown today, the other nobles could not see what was happening under his clothes.

The prince put on a casual expression and smiled at the other nobles. “Excuse me, I’ll go over for a moment.”

The surrounding nobles all showed understanding expressions and made way for him.

Prince Rostislav’s left fist was pale from his pinching, but his right hand was still gently shaking the wine glass, showing his noble posture.

He walked to the front of the three people, first bowed slightly to Saintess Ace, and then said, “I wonder what you guys are talking about. Do you mind If I disturb?”

Then, his eyes calmly stared at Heidi’s hands that were tightly holding on to Monn’s arms.

The meaning was obvious.

As a fiancé, he was already standing there. Why didn’t she take her hands away?

But his eyes were not quite the same as he had imagined.

Heidi heard his words and curled her lips in disdain. Instead, she hugged Monn’s arms even tighter.

She wrapped Monn’s entire arm in her embrace.

Monn, on the other hand, did not react.

It was not him who was hugging someone else.

He was the one who was being hugged. What could he do if the person who was hugging him did not let go?

Prince Rostislav’s eyes gradually turned cold.

Anyone who saw his fiancée hugging another man in front of him would not be able to help themselves.

Not to mention that he was a prince.?

In addition, this banquet was full of nobles’ gazes.

And it was held in his own home.

In either case, it was enough to disgrace him seriously.

Even as the second prince who could endure greatly, could not bear such humiliation.

His eyes were cold, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth as if he was issuing a final warning. “Heidi, don’t forget that you are my fiancée.”

His tone was calm like the calm before a storm.

Heidi replied disdainfully, “Oh, I am not your fiancée from now on.”

Hearing this, Prince Rostislav’s pupils constricted.

He became calm.

Just what Heidi had said, as the little princess of the Frances family, if Heidi was willing to, she would directly tell the old Duke.

The old Duke would definitely ask the royal family to break off the engagement.

And his father, in order to maintain the relationship with the Frances family, would definitely agree to the old Duke’s request even if he was dissatisfied.

At that time, the Frances family, which could have been his greatest help in fighting for the throne, would leave him.

And without the support of the Frances family, the hope of him, who was not the eldest son of the first wife, would be even more slim!

Prince Rostislav calmed down for a while, and a warm smile suddenly appeared on his face.

He smiled at Heidi and said, “Don’t joke with me, Heidi. It’s not good to have so many people watching.”
