The Knights and Jestro were training together one day. They had a lot of fun, except for Lance. He hit his lance hardly at Clay as the 'Uptight Knight' swiftly blocked the attack.

"Woah! Easy Lance... You look a little...unhappy today. What's wrong?" Clay asked him.

"Umm... I-I'm fine, Clay. What's wrong about me? I'm okay, just a little tired. I-I-I attended a celebrity reunion party yesterday! And... I came home late. Trust me, I'm fiiiiiine, Clay." Lance said as he walked back to his room, looking at the ground.

Clay felt suspicious and went after Lance.

As Lance sat down on his bed, Clay knocked his door.

"Come in..." Lance said tiredly.

"Lance, I don't get it," Clay said after he went into Lance's room. "You don't usually look this tired. And you were always the one who cheers me up, and not vice versa. Tell me, Lancelot. What's wrong? I need the truth. "

"I dunno... You... won't like it." Lance said as he turned his head, avoiding to look at Clay in the eye.

"Even if I don't, or won't like it, you still have to tell me. You won't feel well is you decided to keep your secrets to yourself. Be honest, Lance. Tell me, I can help you." Clay said with a serious face.

Lance sighed.

"Well, okay... You see..."

"Clay! Lance! It's time to meet mom and dad- I mean the King and Queen!" Macy called them.

"Coming!" Clay and Lance replied as they dashed out of Lance's room.

Lance still looked a little blue, Clay thought. I wonder why, though...

It appears that the Royal Couple invited the Knights to the castle to show them an enormous golden statue given to them by Cuthbert and Goldie Richmond, as a gift for Macy's coronation a few months later. They were about to discuss where to put the statue.

Lance smiled at the statue, but frowned instantly. Clay was looking at him, and he felt sympathy. He really wanted to know what happened to the shiniest Knight around.

"Lance," Clay called him. "You may tell me your problems now, the quicker the better. I want to help you..."

"Let's NOT talk about this now, okay, Clay?" Lance asked him. "We have something Royal to discuss about."

"Okay, then." Clay said. "Let's...enjoy ourselves first, then talk about it later at the fortrex. "

"Sure, maybe..." Lance replied.

"Lance...Lance!" Lance heard someone calling him. "LANCELOT RICHMOND, COME HERE IMMEDIATELY!"

Lance turned his head and saw a mysterious someone wearing a black hoodie.

"I wanna talk to you about something! So come!"

Lance scratched his head, looking confused. But, he followed the person to a quiet and dark place where nobody could find them.

Lance didn't feel so well.
