Lance reveals that he has become pregnant and concedes the fight

The two combatants step onto the battleground, Remus is wearing his newly polished plate armour. He is armed with a short sword and shield. Lance is in his red leather armour and has his large two handed Longsword. However, as they approach each other Remus has adopted a fighting stance whereas Lance has yet to draw his sword. He finally does this when they meet but instead of taking a defensive stance or an offensive one he drives his sword into the dirt and kneels before Remus.

"What is this?!" exclaims the announcer. "It looks like Lance is forfeiting." There are some boos from the crowd.

"I wish to withdraw from the tournament and forfeit my place to Remus. I have become pregnant and do not wish harm to my unborn child." Saying this Lance stands and walks away leaving his sword in the ground. Remus, puzzled, chiefs his own sword and draws the longsword from the ground claiming his victory ensuring that he will get land and a title should he make it to the end of the tournament. The crowd is stunned at the change of events.

The announcer reads the arena and says "Fear not people, out next fight promises not to disappoint as the defender is none other than Iskierka, her fire magic should defiantly heat up this tournament!"
