"Um, I'm very curious about one thing." Fiore looked at Kriemhild, who had started eating voraciously after returning, turning her grief and indignation into appetite, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Servants aren't supposed to need food, right? But why do the Servants of the Ruler Faction…"
"Fiore, you have to understand one thing." Daniel spun around in his boss chair and then stopped in front of Fiore. "Although Servants don't need to eat, there is no causal relationship between that and whether they like to eat."
"In other words, they just simply like to eat, so that's why…" Fiore looked a bit guilty. "Indeed, we were too presumptuous in this regard."
She planned to ask Chiron if he wanted to eat when she went back. Anyway, since everyone in the Ruler Faction was eating so much, it shouldn't matter if she added one more portion for her own Servant, right?
But she probably never imagined that among the people present, the only ones who could truly go without eating were the two true Servants, Kriemhild and Sanzang.
Even the true Ruler, Jeanne, still needed to eat because she hadn't formed her own physical body but was borrowing someone else's.
And Kriemhild's unseemly binge-eating right now was also done with the philosophy of 'venting a little of my resentment'.
After all, the variety of gourmet food in Romania wasn't that great, and she was almost tired of the exquisite food made by the homunculi.
Knock, knock.
There was a knock on the door outside the RV.
After Daniel nodded in agreement, a homunculus walked in.
"Lady Fiore, Lord Darnic wants to see you."
"It seems there is work to do. Dear guests, please forgive my lack of hospitality." Fiore nodded at the homunculus and then looked at Daniel and the others with an embarrassed expression.
"Oh, that's alright. After all, it was my intention to resist anyone other than you and Caules from entering the RV." Daniel waved his hand and replied.
"Um… Mr. Li Lin, may I ask, why is it me and Caules?" Fiore asked, looking at Daniel before being pushed away by the homunculus.
"Hmm—probably because I feel that your ethics are the closest to mine in this castle." Daniel smiled and replied. "After all, I'm just an ordinary person with slightly bizarre luck."
Fiore left the RV, filled with confusion.
Just as her wheelchair touched the ground with the assistance of a homunculus, Chiron appeared behind her in time, taking over the homunculus's task.
"Archer, would you also like to taste some cuisine?" Fiore asked, looking up at Chiron.
"Hm? Why does master ask that?" Chiron looked at Fiore in surprise.
"Because Mr. Li Lin said that there is no causal relationship between not needing to eat and liking to eat," Fiore replied. "So I was wondering if you, Archer, might also want to taste the cuisine of this era."
"Well—if you ask me whether I want to, my answer is definitely yes," Chiron replied. "Although the common knowledge of this era that we were infused with includes information about cuisine, we only have a literal understanding of the taste of food."
"If possible, I would also really like to taste the sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty flavors of this era's cuisine."
"Hm, I understand." Fiore nodded. "I'll have the homunculi prepare a menu of the Servants' preferences later."
"Thank you very much for your consideration, master." Chiron looked at the girl sitting in the wheelchair with gentle eyes, constantly marveling at his good fortune this time.
To be able to form a contract with a master as considerate to her Servants as Fiore was surely the greatest stroke of luck in his life.
"Uncle, do you have any new instructions for me?" Fiore, having entered Darnic's room accompanied by Chiron, asked, looking at Darnic who was standing behind Vlad III.
"Ah, Fiore. Take a look at this first." Darnic handed a newspaper to Fiore.
The news on the newspaper was about the murder cases that had occurred in Sighisoara in recent days.
"This is..."
"Hm, if there are no surprises, the culprit behind the serial murders haunting Sighisoara should be our faction's Assassin, Jack the Ripper. In fact, the corpse of Assassin's master, Hyoma Sagara, has already been found. There is no doubt that the one who killed him was the very Servant he summoned." Darnic nodded and said, "Fiore, this is the latest instruction I have for you: head to Sighisoara, find out the truth, and then, if you confirm that Jack the Ripper is beyond redemption, have her removed from the war."
"We no longer have the spare capacity to let an unscrupulous murderer roam within our territory."
"By the way, just in case, have Caules and Berserker accompany you."
"Yes, we will definitely handle this properly." Fiore nodded solemnly in response.
"Hm, I believe in you, Fiore." Looking at the only heir who could give him some peace of mind, a rare smile appeared on Darnic's poker face.
"By the way, Count, is there any cuisine you like?" Fiore suddenly turned her head to ask Vlad III. "I intend to have the homunculi prepare some cuisine that everyone likes, and I am currently collecting menus."
"Hm?" The expression on Darnic's face froze.
Vlad III, on the other hand, seemed caught off guard. He turned his head to look at Fiore with a hint of astonishment, and a touch of warmth gradually appeared on his face.
"Hm, I see. Cuisine I like... Roast meat, I suppose. No, it's only roast meat!" Vlad III twitched the corner of his mouth as he gave his answer.
"Roast meat, then. What kind of flavor? Glazed with honey? Or with chili? Or perhaps with extra salt?" Fiore pressed on.
"Have the flavors of roast meat become so varied? Then prepare some of each flavor." Vlad III nodded and said.
"Yes, I have noted it. In that case, please look forward to some delicious roast meat with modern flavors, Count?" Fiore said with a playful tone.
After Fiore and Chiron left, Vlad III couldn't help but chuckle a few times.
"Darnic, you have a very good heir."
"Yes, I think so too." Although Darnic wore a smile, the veins on his forehead were throbbing with a massive headache.
Damn it, is it really time to sell off some assets!
I didn't expect this!
Fiore, to think that you would be the one to backstab me in the end!
