”I never requested an audience with a human, let alone a hemomancer.” the darkin hisses, red eyes narrowing at the man. ”Why do you present yourself to me?”

Please someone to be telling me what is a 'fuckbucket'. I do not get this reference.
Vlad after overhearing Young Walter call someone a 'fuckbucket', too tired to properly English so now we have this gem.
The Foreign Merchant
A merchant from a foreign land visited Tirgoviste. Aware of the reputation of Vlad Dracula’s land for honesty, he left a treasure-laden cart unguarded in the street over night. Upon returning to his wagon in the morning, the merchant was shocked to find 160 golden ducats missing. Then the merchant complained of his loss to the prince, Vlad assured him that his money would be returned. Vlad Dracula then issued a proclamation to the city—find the thief and return the money or the city will be destroyed. During the night he ordered that 160 ducats plus one extra be taken from his own treasury and placed in the merchant’s cart. On returning to his cart the next morning and counting his money the merchant discovered the extra ducat. The merchant returned to Vlad and reported that his money had indeed been returned plus an extra ducat. Meanwhile the thief had been captured and turned over to the prince’s guards along with the stolen money. Vlad ordered the thief impaled and informed the merchant that if he had not reported the extra ducat he would have been impaled alongside the thief.

The Golden Cup
Vlad Dracula was known throughout his land for his fierce insistence on honesty and order. Thieves seldom dared practice their trade within his domain, for they knew that the stake awaited any who were caught. Vlad was so confident in the effectiveness of his law that he placed a golden cup on display in the central square of Tirgoviste. The cup was never stolen and remained entirely unmolested throughout Vlad Dracula’s reign.

The Nobleman with the Keen Sense of Smell
"On St. Bartholomew’s Day in 1459 Vlad Dracula caused thirty thousand of the merchants and nobles of the Transylvanian city of Brasov to be impaled. In order that he might better enjoy the results of his orders, the prince commanded that his table be set up and that his boyars join him for a feast amongst the forest of impaled corpses. While dining, Vlad noticed that one of his boyars was holding his nose in an effort to alleviate the terrible smell of clotting blood and emptied bowels. Vlad then ordered the sensitive nobleman impaled on a stake higher than all the rest so that he might be above the stench."

For a second time tonight, she’s speechless. A small nod, her head bows to hide the tear sliding from her right eye. “I understand.”
She was not quick enough to hide the tear from his sharp eye, and he felt a pain in his chest at the sight that he was certain had nothing to do with being hungry. Perhaps he'd misinterpreted things, it wouldn't be the first time. Nor was that particular twinge of pain a new one. He gave another smile, though, and raised her head with a gentle hand under her chin. "Such a beautiful lady knight should not hide her face so. Nor should she be sad." He clucked his tongue at her, and released her chin, looking away. "Is there something you would like for me to do?"
