A few hours into the ceremony, the moment of truth arrives.

A few hours later.

Following Thomas succesfull pouring of the dissolvent into Rhea's robes, the only thing he needed to do now was to wait for the show to unfold, which he did.

As the ceremony preparations were finished, and the event itself properly began, nobody save him and his fellow Western Church infiltrators knew of the events that soon would be about to come. Either way, as the dissolvent potion was of retarded action, they would have to lay low and wait a little before it took action.

And so, with that said, Thomas and co spent the next couple of hours or so attending the guests at the ceremony, of which they were litterally several hundreds, which included everything from the students and faculty of the academia, local villagers, several major figures in the Church of Seiros, the knights of Seiros, and of course, multiple delegations from all the three nations in Fódlan. This will be fun.

Fast foward a few minor events and speeches, it was finally time for the major event and centerpiece of the ceremony, the inauguration of the new renovated Cathedral of Holy Seiros, and to preside over the grand speech, it was nothing but Archbishop Rhea herself.

As she climbed the huge colorful podium over the front of the Cathedral, everyone in the ceremony could see her with her beautiful angelic robes, covering her holy body, for too wear anything more, would be an afront to the position of Archbishop itself. But as Thomas and it's fellow conspirators knew, the time for the dissolvent to take action was only just right around the corner.

"People of Fódlan, Fellow followers and believers of Saint Seiros, welcome to our Ceremony, were we, will preside over an historic moment in the history of the church", Rhea said to everyone as she recited her speech, "Today, in these dark times, when heretics and traitors want to sway people with their dark words, we must be strong as an community, and not let ourselves be led astray by these false profets and idols, for we are the strong and faithfull of...", she said, as she continued her long speech with dedication.

However, as she recited her long speech, something in her had clearly began to happen to her, for her saintly robes, slowly but surely began to seem more translucent and transparent with each passing minute, as if they were dissolving in front of everyone. At first, nobody in the audience paid attention to the fact, for how could they dare to think of they in such pervy ways ?.

Yet, as her robes slowly dissolved more and more over time, to the point that her undergarments could be beggining to be seen from afar, everyone began to realize that there was something wrong going on, yet at the same time, Rhea, too focused in her speech, didn't seem to notice her current predicament, as she continued to recite it, even as her clothes were dissolving thread by thread.
