"The moment you took off your helmet, your long golden hair moved in the wind, but fell on the top of my heart."

Diana's face turned slightly red and she whispered: "I'm really sorry, I really haven't considered getting married. And I'm your officiant, so it's impossible for us."

Matthew said seriously: "I know, and I respect your choice."

"I just want to tell you that you are the only golden rose in my heart. No matter it is a red rose or a white rose, it cannot compare with you."

Perhaps feeling Matthew's sincerity, Diana raised her head and looked at Matthew.

This time she did not escape, but said calmly: "It is a man's nature to like beautiful girls, I understand."

It's good to understand.

Some words have been held in his heart for too long. Now that he can finally say them out, Matthew feels much better.

He thought about the red and white roses just now, and his curiosity came again.

"Diana, I can understand if people who don't know about her say she is a red rose. But why do the higher-ups in the Holy See say you are a red rose?"

"The reason is very simple. No matter how white a rose is, if it is brought from the sea of ​​blood, it will probably only be red."

This sentence was said in an understatement, but it brought back many memories of Diana's past.

During her year as a full-time discipline priest, she killed too many people, many of whom were her friends, teachers, and classmates.

When she killed the first person, she cried sadly all night.

After killing too many, she didn't even blink.

In just one year, the conservatives she directly killed went to force Pope Eugene to marry him, and invited her, the bloody rose, out at the cost of being promoted to three levels in a row.

She stayed in the Knights for several years and faded out of the inner circle. Many people have long forgotten how her red rose turned red.

Returning to the imperial capital this time is destined to be another bloody storm. It seems that there are really only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Diana coughed lightly, collected her emotions, and asked softly: "Matthew, I need your full help this time."

This was what Matthew was waiting for.

He and Diana also discussed how to reorganize the Holy See.

Of course he knew what Diana was planning.

However, Diana's next words confused him.

"Matthew, I have been thinking hard these days, but I still can't find a way to break the situation under the old framework. Teacher Eugene has tried many times, and tinkering will not save the Holy See."

Matthew thought to himself, you finally woke up.The ship turned around in disaster, and the Holy See was hopeless.

Diana sighed softly and asked quietly as if talking to herself: "Matthew, how do you think an organization that serves the goddess can operate so that it will not be disliked by the people?"

Matthew thought to himself, it's easy, just be a mascot.

Christianity in another world was once a terrifying organization that everyone feared like a tiger, but in the end it became a mascot-like existence.

Since it does not pose a substantial threat to the people, of course they are willing to put their faith in it.

It’s hard to say whether such a belief is true or not.

The hardest thing in the world is to put your ideas into other people's heads and take their money out of their pockets.

The former can be brainwashed, but only temporarily; the latter can be deceived, but not forever.

Of course, Matthew would not give Diana bad advice, because he was an amateur in this regard.

Deanna is much more professional than him.

Just trust the professionals.

Sure enough, Diana didn't expect him to answer at all. After asking the question, she slowly raised her head, her black and white pupils were filled with bloodshot eyes, and murderous intent surged between her eyebrows.

"The Holy See once provided treatment and food to the people, and provided them with a spiritual haven, so everyone was willing to offer their faith to the goddess."

"The tithe tax levied by the Holy See was non-compulsory at first, but in recent years it was only enough to maintain basic operations and not enough for high-level people to enjoy. So the tithe tax became a compulsory tax."

Diana sighed: "Healing was originally a magic that served everyone, but it has become a means for a few people to monopolize medical rights and make huge profits."

"They have defiled the Holy Light and are not worthy of the respect of believers."

Matthew didn't speak. He knew that Diana was setting the stage. He was waiting for Diana's main scene.

Seeing Matthew's thoughts, since Diana asked for his support, she naturally wanted to show off her talents.

Those who stood in her way were eventually swept into the dustbin of history.

He was a little curious about how Diana would clean up the mess.

Or how to distribute power and rebuild the structure of the Holy See after he takes power.

This is the ultimate test of Diana's political wisdom.

Matthew himself thought about it for a long time, but he still had no idea and could only watch Diana perform.

Diana stood up straight and said loudly: "Since the Holy See is rotten to the core and there is no cure, then there is no need to save it!"

"I will dissolve the Holy See and rebuild a new organization in the name of the goddess on Victory Day."

"Anyone who dares to stand in my way during this process is an enemy of the goddess and will be killed without mercy!"

Matthew looked at Diana and finally understood why this guy was called Red Rose.

This is not a blood-stained rose. This is clearly a rose growing from a sea of ​​blood.

Is this a religious war?It's really cruel.

Matthew asked tentatively: "Who are your team members?"

"The Knights of Walder, the Angel Warriors, your Knights of Lundebel, and all the reformists and centrists in the Holy See who support me."

"Do so many people support you?" Matthew was a little surprised.

"Don't worry, they'd better support me. If they don't support me, it means they don't support the goddess, and they will be killed without mercy!"

Matthew finally understood how powerful Deanna was when she gave up her brain.

He thought for a long time and found that this was the best choice, which made him dumbfounded.

It is indeed a religious war. Whatever strategies and tactics you need, just be reckless and get it over with!

But Matthew didn't object to Diana's idea.

If we follow the plan step by step and plan it slowly, we won't be able to achieve results even if it takes 100 years.

The Victory Day ceremony is indeed the perfect time.

If it drags on any longer, the emperor's election is about to begin. The empire is holding a general election with great enthusiasm. Is it fair for you to let the rivers of blood flow here?

Doing this really offends everyone.

Taking action before the election of the emperor can not only consolidate power, but also scare the centrists.

Once Diana is done with this, whoever she supports will be the emperor.

Matthew thought for a moment, motioned for Diana to sit down opposite, nodded and said, "As long as you need it, I will fully support you!"

"Now let's do a war game simulation to see what else we need to do."

Matthew laid out the sand table of the imperial capital, marking out the stubborn forces of the Holy See and the forces of the centrists, and then arranged the troops participating in the uprising.

He calculated the combat effectiveness of both sides while posing.

In the process, he and Diana must eliminate all X factors.

Matthew asked a serious question first, "If you directly announce the dissolution of the Holy See, will the Three Sages take action?"

"It's possible, but not necessarily." Diana said calmly.

Matthew was almost beaten to death by her.Do you not care at all about the threat of three demigod-level experts?

Seeing Matthew's surprise, Diana solemnly said: "The three sages are loyal to the goddess, not the Holy See."

"Michel, the oldest among the three sages, is even a remnant of the previous dynasty of the Church of Light. How much sense of belonging do you think he has to the Holy See?"

"Raphael and Raguel were not originally named by their current names. They received the skills taught by the goddess in their dreams, and are equivalent to her disciples. These two names are also the names of archangels given by the goddess. They will only be loyal to the goddess. "

"You and I are both human agents for the goddess to perform miracles. What choice do you think they will make?"

"Wait, is this just your wishful thinking? What if they don't recognize us? Or what if they recognize our identity but not our actions?"

Matthew was almost shocked by Deanna's violent plan.

You haven't won over any of the three powerful demigods in the co-authorship. It's just wishful thinking?

Faced with Matthew's doubts, Diana said calmly: "Don't alert others when you are not absolutely sure. This is what you taught me, right?"

"Do you think they will agree if I go to them now?"

"We need to create an atmosphere where they have to continue to maintain a detached posture."

"For example, during the prayer ceremony that day, holy light enveloped the sky, and miracles came once again."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief. Good guy, no wonder you look down on those demigods. You just jumped up the hierarchy and reached a consensus with the goddess.

Now that he has the support of the goddess, Matthew is naturally confident.

He smiled and said: "If you have the support of the goddess, then tell me earlier. Don't worry me for a long time."

"By the way, what did you tell the goddess, and how did she respond?"

"I prayed to the goddess, but she didn't respond." Diana's tone was very calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.

Matthew was stunned on the spot, petrified for several seconds before he could react.

He was truly defeated by Deanna.

This is not a coup d'état when the time comes. This is clearly a coup d'état. Brainwash yourself first.

Matthew placed the three sages in the position of the enemy, then placed an exquisite goddess statue to represent the goddess, and asked with some self-deprecation:

"Come on, come on, tell me, what should I do with these people?"

Diana said confidently: "If I can handle everything, what's the point of having you as an ally?"

Matthew: "..."

Hiss, that seems to make sense.

"You are my contract owner and my ally. You have always been smart. I came to you just to ask you to help me solve my problem, but you want to ask me?"

Matthew finally figured it out.

Diana only had the determination to make a coup, and everything else was left to Matthew.

Matthew asked, dumbfounded, "Have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?"

"I have thought about it, but I don't care, because I will only fight to the death but not defeat. And with the blessing of the goddess, I will definitely not fail."

I have seen the stamp of a firm victory-oriented thinking, but I have never seen one as solid as this.

Matthew was also convinced.

Looking at Matthew's expression, Diana leaned forward, grabbed Matthew's sleeve, and asked loudly:

"Let me ask you, is the home Goddess Fate gave you a fake one?"

"of course not."

"Are the miracles given to us by the Lord of Holy Light fake?"

"No."

"Is the soul origin given to you by the God of Souls fake?"

Matthew said nothing, he knew what Diana meant.Although I haven’t figured out many details yet, I have no doubt about destiny.

He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth.

Diana was right. When he led the army out of the grassland, was he completely sure?

If you want to deal with a behemoth like the Holy See in one go, how is it possible without taking risks?

Not only was this coup risky, but everything he did after that was risky.

If you don't dare to gamble, then get off the table.

He looked at Diana with pride and said loudly: "Okay, I will rebel with you. Even if we fail and go to the underworld, we will have many companions."

"We will not fail!" Diana's tone was full of unquestionable confidence.
