The audience surprisingly boughts it.

Rhea knew that what was she doing was a very big risk gamble for her, for all this talk about the purity and innocence of her nakedness directly contradicted what she had been teaching all these years about the need for modesty and prudeness in society. Still, considering her current embarrasing situation, it was the only way she could think of talking her way out of it without looking like a pervert for taking her clothes off, or an idiot for not noticing her nudity until now.

"I wonder if they really will buy this...", wondered Rhea to herself as she finished her new speech, barely being able to hide the fear and shame in her almost red face as she waited for the reaction of her audience, fearing the worst.

The faces of the audience as they silently listened to what Rhea said were a mix of intrigue, confusion and skepticism, making difficult for her to know what would be their reaction. Yet, rather than respond with disbelief, repulse or anger, the first of her followers to speak offered some very unexpected words for her, "Wow Rhea..., you are so brave for doing this...", a girl in the audience said, to which the rest of the audience agreed to.

"Yeah, i knew that our Archbishop would be full of wisdom from the goddess", a faithful man exclamed as he cheered for her.

"Ehh....?", muttered Rhea shocked as she listened to the positive reactions of her followers, which were sharply different to how shocked and outraged they were just moments ago.

"Of course, how could we ever doubt you, or think you were some pervert ?", a female knight of Seiros exclamed.

"Only you can look so holy and pure while disrobed...", shouted a student of the academy who appeared to be a big fan of her.

"What ?!, how ?!, how can these idiots believe this clear lie ?!", yelled the shocked Thomas to his co-conspirators confused at the unexpected reaction of the audience, wondering if they really did buy this, or if they were just pretending to like it out of fear of Rhea's wrath.

"Well..., looks like i sucessfully managed to convince them...", whispered Rhea to herself with an smile as she looked upon at the now calm audience, "Alright, now it's time to get some clothes then...", Rhea thought as she began to plan about getting dressed again. However, little would Rhea know, that now that she was nude, it would be a lot harder for her to get dressed again, for there were one or many in the audience, who would like to see her naked for longer.
