What a nerve-wracking situation!!!
Motan struggled to turn off the skill instruction in front of him and sighed faintly. He was convinced that 'honesty', which is part of the knight's spirit, is not what it appears to be. Moreover, although he often gets teased for his uprightness, he's not really that honest...
For instance, back in the library when he switched out the picture books for regular textbooks, he didn't confess when the librarian questioned him.
So, he never thought of himself as an honest person, even though most of the time, Motan, under a 'lawful and good' state, won't lie.
But that doesn't mean he doesn't need to lie...
