Lancelot leisurely walked through the corridors of the castle, thinking about events that happened not so long, as well as their first meeting. Even then, watching Sonic from his hiding place, he considered it his duty to decapitate the blue hedgehog. However, he hadn't just lost a battle then, but knew that Sonic surpasses him, Knight of the Round Table, in the mastership of a sword. Or maybe it was the fact that his sword is magical? Anyway, since their fight, Lancelot has shown respect for Sonic, and when he discovered that Sonic is the true king, knight has faithfully served him.
Of course, Sonic wasn't the one to agree to be a ruler because he is not from this world. But when Merlina couldn't help him get back to his world he had no other choice.
Lost in thought, Lancelot didn't notice that he went up to the most important doors in the castle. Going into the throne room, he was surprised to find that nobody was there.
"It's strange, usually he is here, - thought Lancelot. – Well, perhaps he is training or running, as usual."
But, searching through almost the entire castle, Lancelot still couldn't find Sonic.
"It's just not like him. I usually don't even have to look for him, because he already would have been right here. Something must have happened", - a knight worried.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked new king's bedroom. Rushing there, he cautiously opened the door, so as to not wake Sonic if he is sleeping. But he wasn't even here.
- My Lord? - asked Lancelot. - Are you here?
Only silence served as his response. Lancelot sighed and was about to leave, when suddenly his attention was drawn to the book lying under the heavy curtains. The book surely wasn't at its place.
Wondering, the hedgehog came over and took out this book. It has been quite heavy. In the book, he found the bookmark. Opening the book at this point, Lancelot saw the tab saying "700-th page, the third line from the bottom." The book has been opened exactly on this page. The third line from the bottom: "Water procedures are very useful. They strengthen the body and invigorate the spirit, as well as..."
Grinning, Lancelot closed the book.
"This hedgehog doesn't cease to surprise me. This time, he managed to come up with a puzzle. But now I know where to find him. "
With these thoughts Lancelot raced to the lake.
