“Heck, I was sure he did. Anyway, yeah, I don’t think you wanna keep Father waiting for much longer,” Mordred said. Now that their issues were sorted, she dismissed Clarent, once again allowing her helmet to shield her identity from anyone who hasn’t been there when she released her sword. Mordred kinda felt the urge to laugh when even Lancelot was making jokes at Tristan’s expense but refrained from doing so since there was something else she had to say before the purple-haired knight left.

“By the way, when you see Father could you… erm, keep it a secret that I’m here as well? I haven’t had the chance to meet her yet so I… don’t know what she’ll say if she learns about it from a someone else,” Mordred said in a flustered voice while scratching the back of her head nervously.

“Anyway, Master, do you have anything to do later?” the blonde knight asked Seria not very long after Lancelot left them. Considering the contents of the conversation Mordred had just a moment ago, the intention behind her hesitant question was pretty obvious. The only thing forbidding her from speaking it out loud was her pride.

[h2]Hinami Asakura[/h2]
Hinami came in not long after Gilgamesh made his grand entrance. She had an apologetic smile in her face, as she stared at the sorry state of Lord El-Melloi II from behind Gilgamesh’s back. She wasn’t trying to excuse her Servant’s actions — Gilgamesh wouldn’t take that lightly, after all — but rather apologize for her own inability to foresee such an outcome.

The fact that the King of Heroes cared enough about this issue of his to summon his armor and let out enough of his kingly aura that even she felt shaken added another drop to Hinami’s curiosity bucket. There was only one explanation for this sequence of events, but even Hinami had to think that such a coincidence was unlikely to happen in her own lifetime, much less that of a man in his thirties like El-Melloi.

Nevertheless, no matter how much she felt like asking about it, or even introduce herself properly, Hinami kept quiet in the same way as El-Meloi’s companions did. Speaking out of place in Gilgamesh’s presence was a pretty hard thing to do after all.
