If Julius hadn't repeatedly told her to live, she would have committed suicide long ago.
She didn't know what Diana would do with her. After thinking about it, she would probably accuse her of a bunch of unfounded charges and burn her on the stake.
Being able to die on the stake is considered a good ending.
If Diana was evil-minded, there were many ways to manipulate her.
Thinking of all the past events that have been directed at Deanna over the years and the head-on conflicts today, she certainly would not have the luck to think that she could escape like Under Armor.
Under Armor is different.
Under Armor was just an unlucky guy who was instigated and bewitched, but she was completely conscious and was even one of the masterminds against Deanna.
If she were the winner, she would never spare Diana.
Now the identities of both parties have been reversed 180 degrees. Diana has become the interrogator, and she has become the unlucky prisoner.
Just when the wolf-like guards pressed Yurishia's shoulders and forced her to kneel down, Diana raised her hand to stop their rude behavior.
"enough!"
"Urishia is a saint, who allows you to disrespect her?"
"Urishia was deceived by an adulterer, did something wrong, and must be punished, but until she is convicted, she is still our saint. Is this how you treat the saint?"
The guards were confused. What was going on?
Not only were the guards confused, but the people standing in the audience were also confused.
What's going on here?
Could even Yurishia be forgiven?
Many senior conservative officials breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Diana's attitude.
They took it for granted that Diana was seeking balance after victory.
After all, the power of the conservatives is very strong. If Diana takes them all down, at least half of the local bishops will have to be replaced.
In these years, Pope Eugene was old and frail, and the actual power was controlled by Julius alone. He not only controlled the financial power of the Holy See, but also had the power to appoint and remove official positions below the cardinal.
After many years of operation, the entire Holy See was filled with bishops he promoted.
Even if these people are not loyal to him personally, at least they are loyal to him in their hearts.
This is probably why Diana is willing to compromise.
The conservatives thought silently.
They also thought that Diana would stabilize everyone before taking action, but most people preferred to believe that Diana would not dare to carry out the ultimate reform that would involve replacing everything from the head down.
Looking at their expressions, the corners of Diana's mouth raised slightly.
These guys underestimated her.
If the Three Sages hadn't stopped her, she would have declared the Holy See an illegal organization and disbanded it on the spot.
Although she agreed to the three wise men to serve as pope and continue to retain the papacy, the three wise men also acquiesced to her drastic reforms.
The three sages also know very well how the Church of Light ended back then.
When internal problems cannot be solved, they will eventually self-destruct.
The problems of the Holy See today are not as serious as those of the Church of Light back then, and there is still room for help.
The Holy See is like a person whose body has been hollowed out by wine and sex. It looks bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact it is already an empty shell.
She must change the Curia.
The basis for change is to eliminate these die-hards.
Diana coughed lightly and said calmly: "Why don't you untie the saint?"
The guards escorting Yurishia quickly untied the saint, but the demon-sealing ring was still on her wrist.
Yurishia rubbed her wrist that was bleeding from the rope, feeling mixed feelings in her heart.
The feeling of being tied behind my back is really uncomfortable.
It's much more comfortable now that my hands are free.
Although the combat power is still sealed, it is not so uncomfortable at least.
She looked at Diana, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "His Majesty the Pope, what I did today is unworthy of the goddess and the organization. I am no longer qualified to be a saint."
"I beg the Pope to remove me from the title of saint and give me a chance to atone for my sins."
Although the words were spoken calmly, for Yurishia, who had always hated Diana, this was undoubtedly an indirect plea for mercy.
She just made it clear that she would never dare to go against you again, and she just wanted to let you go.
However, her words caused Diana to chuckle.
Listening to Diana's laughter, everyone's hearts skipped a beat.
Sure enough, she could let anyone go, but she would never let go of Saint Urrishia.
Yurishia's personality is not very good, and she is very direct in speaking and doing things, but she is fair in her actions, and most people love and hate her.
Seeing that Diana was going to liquidate Yurishia, these people felt uncomfortable.
Now it’s Yurishia, and they will probably be next.
It seems that it still needs to be moisturized.
When the ceremony is over, pack up and run away!
Hearing Diana's laughter, Yurishia's heart dropped.
She thought bitterly, Father, as you can see, it's not that I want to die, it's that Diana didn't give me a chance to live.
If she had chosen to commit suicide early, maybe she wouldn't have had to face this tragic outcome, right?
Thinking of Diana's strength, she shook her head helplessly.
Diana can use the Wind of Resurrection to forcefully pull up the recently deceased person whose soul is still there.
This resurrection technique is imperfect. Although it can be resurrected, the soul of the resurrected person is very seriously injured.
But with Matthew here, this is no problem.
Matthew can take back the soul of the resurrected subject.
Even if she commits suicide, she will be pulled back by Diana and Matthew to continue the torture.
It is written very clearly in the scriptures that life is the power given to every living creature by the goddess of nature.
In the eyes of the goddess of nature, killing each other is part of the balance, but suicide is not.
Suicide is blasphemous.
Those who commit blasphemy will pay a huge price in the underworld after death, and there is almost no chance of reincarnation.
As long as there was still a glimmer of hope, she would not dare to commit suicide.
It was just because she didn't dare to commit suicide that she ended up in her current embarrassing situation.
Yurishia closed her eyes and waited silently for Diana's verdict.
Matthew, who stood beside Diana, remained silent. He also wanted to know what Diana would do.
Of course, the simplest and most enjoyable way is to put a bunch of hats on Yurishia and then burn her to death in public.
A slightly more humane approach would be to give her a more merciful death, with a fair evaluation of right and wrong, and to prevent her from dying unjustly.
Just as Matthew was thinking hard, Diana's voice sounded.
"Urishia, you are a saint, do you want to evade responsibility?"
"The prayer ceremony must be presided over by the saint. You have wasted a lot of time, so start it quickly."
Chapter 282 She Has Changed
No one could have imagined that Diana would say such a thing.
Not only did Yurishia and Matthew not expect this, but all the bystanders were also surprised.
Everyone saw Urrishia's attack on Diana today. There was still a grudge between them, both public and private. No matter how you thought about it, Urrishia had no chance of surviving.
But Deanna gave her the chance.
As long as you can live, who is willing to die?
When she was first captured, Yurishia was determined to die and felt that being able to accompany Julius and others on the road would be a good ending. However, as time went by, this thought faded a lot.
No matter what Diana thought in her heart, at least she gave Yurishia a chance.
Yurishia is not a fool, of course she knows what to do at this time.
Faced with Diana's arrangement, she quickly agreed and was taken down by the staff to change clothes.
After Yurishia withdrew, Diana looked around the audience, but not many people dared to look at her.
The leaders that people fear most are often not those who like to lose their temper, but those who cannot see through them.
If you can't see what your boss is thinking, it will be difficult to make targeted preparations, let alone cater to your boss's wishes.
While everyone was waiting for Yurishia to come back, Diana's eyes fell on another person.
She looked at Archbishop Cochon and said calmly: "Archbishop Cochon, do you understand your sin?"
Caochon's expression was a little stiff. He knew that he would probably not be able to escape revenge, but Yurishia was lucky enough to save her life, which made him have some unrealistic illusions about his own destiny.
But he didn't know that in Diana's eyes, Urithia could be saved, but he was an irredeemable person.
Urrishia herself had no bad deeds, she just happened to be Diana’s enemy.
The situation is different for Cochon. His crimes can only be described in four words: "too numerous to describe".
Facing Diana's question, Archbishop Couchon knew that no matter what he answered, he would not be able to escape guilt, so he simply responded very forcefully:
"My only crime is that I failed to help the Speaker bring you down."
"I'm sorry to the Speaker, the referee, and even more sorry to the goddess, because I haven't been able to reveal your true face so far."
"Diana, do you dare to say in your conscience that you have no feelings for Matthew?"
Faced with this question, Diana replied calmly:
"Cochon, you are still messing around now, and you still want to dress yourself up as an innocent person?"
She very calmly listed over a dozen of Kexiong's crimes, and then asked calmly:
"Cochon, can you deny what I said?"
Cauchon didn't expect Diana to grasp his crime so clearly, and his expression changed instantly.
What shocked him wasn't that Deanna knew this.
As long as there are clues about what someone has done, they will be discovered. This is normal.
What shocked him was that Deanna had even included him in the blame for his earlier conflict with Matthew.
He couldn't figure it out, the people around him were not stupid, of course they knew.
There is innocence between Diana and Matthew, but there is also innocence.
Innocence because their actions did not cross the line and the goddess was not angry.
I don’t understand because Diana has indeed moved her heart.
Of course, it was none of their business whether Deanna liked Matthew or not.
As long as she is willing, she can overturn her vow and marry Matthew at any time.
Whether it's a public commitment or a red wedding officiant, it's just a convention, not a written commandment.
The Holy See’s regulations on marriage and love are very simple, with only one sentence:
"Religious believers enjoy the freedom of marriage. Believers can freely choose whether to marry and who to marry. However, same-sex marriages are not blessed by the goddess."
Regardless of who interpreted the doctrine, Diana had the right to marry.
At most, people would complain that everything she said before was a joke, but they would not criticize her for her idea of getting married.
The senior staff of the Holy See may not have figured it all out, but the emperor, officials and envoys from other countries who returned to the meeting saw the clues.
