After some explanations, Lancelot finally understood the situation. He had arrived ten years in the future—ten years into a parallel world—and he had to fight another Holy Grail War.
Lancelot felt rather pitiful. On one hand, he pitied himself; on the other, he pitied the other Masters and Servants participating in the Holy Grail War.
"Xiaolan, don't panic. I'm here." Seeing Lancelot's mournful expression, Duke indicated that this trivial matter of crossing through worlds was something he knew inside out. Great Duke spent every day either crossing worlds or on his way to cross worlds. What hadn't he seen? His dead parents could circle the Earth twice by now.

Lancelot silently recited those words in his heart, nodded, and said nothing. He was in a bad mood and wanted some peace and quiet!
"Xiaolan, are you in a bad mood? Don't be like that. We've already won one Holy Grail War and are about to win a second. You should be happy."

Lancelot stared at Duke
