Damn it, just his luck. Uchida had taken another request without looking at the name of the client. It was this Lord Servas character again. The first time he took a job from this man, he got really bad vibes from him. He wasn't really sure he could stomach meeting this guy again. He even thought about withdrawing from this particular job but honestly, there was nothing else better to do or anything even remotely paying this well for a mediocre job. Uchida lets an exasperated sigh leave his lips as he made his way back to Castle Phantasm. This time it seems it would be a little bit more difficult getting in as last time workers were coming in and out when he was checking on the beacon signal. So he had to get in the hard way and deal with all the waiting and the constant stand by procedure. Upon making it to the castle, he noticed that the gates were closed this time around and he had stop by a guard booth and state his business. "Hey, my name is Shichiro Uchida. I'm here on official business for Lord Servas. I was here before, mind you, doing a previous request for the lord of checking on his beacons to see if they were up and ready to code." The guard looked up as if he heard a familiar voice. "Oh, it's you! You're the one that woke me up and informed me to stay alert. Thank you. Shortly after you left, i saw a group of beings from the forest rapidly approach my area. I got out of there as fast as possible. You saved my life! You want to go in? I'll take you to the Lord as top priority so you don't have to wait outside like the common folk do when they want to make an appeal with Lord Servas." I guess helping people does have it's rewards, even if it isn't in money or trinkets of power. Uchida watched as the guard straightened up from his booth and exited, motioning Uchida to follow him. Uchida was led into the castle by the guard and this time, he took time to look around and take in his surroundings. He didn't his first time because he never thought he'd make a second trip to this place but this time for sure he was gone make note of his surroundings. He stopped some paintings of what seems like family members and previous generations of family but there seems to be multiple paintings of a rather gorgeous woman. Uchida couldn't help but be charmed by the beauty that was captured in the painting. "Astounding, isn't she?" a familiar voice had asked him. It wasn't the guard that was escorting him. It was Lord Servas himself that had been apparently watching him and asked this question.

Uchida was a bit startled at this fact. He was so smitten by the paintings that he had forgotten that he was walking behind somebody and din't notice when he arrived in front of the Lord himself. "S-sorry, i was admiring the paintings of the lady in the paintings."  Uchida had said apologetically. "It's alright lad. Actually, that's the reason why you're here. I need somebody that has some decent awareness and fighting experience to go fetch something for me. I need you to go down into the dungeon and pick me up a flower. I know it sounds strange but can you do it?" The lord had asked. Uchida nodded slowly changing his opinion about the lord. "Good. I need you to go here and recover this flower or flowers. Good day to you." he had said in a rather unnaturally commanding voice. With that, Uchida set out on his journey to a near by dungeon to recover some flower. He didn't even know flowers could grow where there wasn't sunlight but he wasn't a botanist nor did he really care too much about flowers unless they could be made into some sorta salve or productive item. Anyways, he arrived at the dungeon entrance and all that was left to do was delve into it. He went inside as the light shone brightly at the entrance but as he continued to go through the dungeon, he noticed that it was getting darker and darker  as he was deprived of light. Maybe he should have brought a torch or a light of some kind. Either way, it seems he was literally gonna be feeling his way through the dark as he continued to delve in the dungeon that he finally made it to it's deepest of levels.

It was pitch black now but he knew the flower was around here some where as per what he was told. He got down to his knees and gently brushed gently on the source to find traces of the flower but not crush it. Uchida crawled around for a little while making sure to thoroughly check before moving on in fear he'd accidentally crush the flower. At last, he found the flower and plucked it from the ground. He also found an additional flower to take back with him in order to try and score bonus points. With that, he got up and hurried back up to ground surface and made his way back to Lord Servas' castle. Upon entering the gates, it seem Servas was already waiting at the entrance instead of inside. There, he handed him the floor and he nodded, signalling that the mission was complete. Servas nodded back and asked if he would like to know the connection between him and this flower. Apparently, it was his wife's favorite flower and that she had died recently of illness. He also explained the woman that he saw in multiple paintings happened to be his, said, late wife. Servas then handed Uchida his pay and turned to complete the rest of his plans for her funeral. Uchida bowed and offered his condolences before turning and going his own way.
