Ex-Machina on Dimensional Travel

Anyway, Gord now looked utterly pathetic.

He was indeed arrogant. Aside from the head of the family and that King, he acted the same even toward Servants.

But that depended on the circumstances, especially when Saber was by his side. Now that no Servant was around him and a Ruler who clearly disliked him stood before him, Gord chose to admit defeat.

Staying alive was nothing to be ashamed of.

He knew the other party had probably misunderstood something, so despite the pain in his abdomen, he immediately explained the entire situation. That was what led to the current scene.

"Is that so? I'll believe you for the time being."

Joan pinched her chin, judging the truth of Gord's words. Although she said she would believe him for now, she had not truly accepted his claims.

Just as when she had faced Xiu Er earlier, she would not blindly trust anyone's words. After all, someone could easily embellish things and completely twist their original meaning.

She would determine for herself what was true and false, but getting out was the most pressing matter right now.

"How did you get in here?"

Joan asked the question instinctively. She had been captured and brought here by that person, but what about these two Masters?

The moment the words left her mouth, Joan regretted them somewhat. What did she mean, "How did you get in here?"

She had been captured, so these two Masters had most likely been captured as well. It could not possibly have been that they came in on their own, could it?

Sure enough, Joan saw the expression on Gord's face that seemed to say, Are you joking?

Though she felt somewhat embarrassed inside, Joan forced herself to remain composed and maintain a stern expression due to the situation.
