I am provided a special place to sleep. I may be tired after my travels. I am furnished with warm hospitality and a good meal.
I ventured down to this kitchen to find a midnight snack. I'm sorry if I disturbed you, Your Highness. You come to another's home and feel comfortable sneaking around to eat the food. Didn't know this was my food, the King's food? Eating something that I have not given to you, is stealing from me. Stealing from me could be treason! Good heavens! I wasn't trying to offend you. As your guest, I felt I was entitled to making myself comfortable. Last night's vegan and gluten free dinner left me very peckish. I see. The Queen has forbade animal products from the castle. I've hidden some meat on that shelf over there under that pot. Get started on making me something to eat. Just know, if the Queen catches us, I'm going to tel her it's your meat. Yes, please! I will happily take the blame. This meat looks delicious. Let me seer it quickly on the stove and then we can sit down to a delicious midnight snack of steak and mead! We don't have any mead. The Queen thinks there is gluten in the hops and forbade it. The wife only keeps Kale and Wheatgrass juice in the house. I'm so miserable. Handmaid! Come and wife your King's sad tears! See... this is just a sad existence! Perhaps I can smuggle some in when I visit again. Man cannot live by bread alone - or in your case, no bread! Excellent. But I only consume what is fit for a king. I want you to bring me only the most rare and exotic things, but I want you to make it all by hand. Can you leave now and come back in a few hours with this? I can, indeed! What sorts of rare and exotic things do you seek? Take this vegetable, and kill a Direwolf: make sausages with it. I would also like you to travel to France and pick some grapes for champagne. The Queen can never know about this. I might have to behead you after you're done just to be sure. Do you have a problem with any of this? I have a serious problem with the beheading. Aside from that, I'm fairly certain I cannot get all this done and be back within a few hours as you requested. It might take a few days. That sounds like the attitude of someone about to be beheaded. Has your King's presence not inspired you to be all that you can be? Do you want me to give you a bit of magic to help out?
