Was she aware that the staff whispered about the perceived threat of being broken down for alchemical spare parts and/or Flandre feed?

Heh, you know I could picture Meiling delivering a line like that, but Sakuya doing so seems... well my brain renders it almost like Meiling's voice coming out of Sakuya (perhaps she's narrating a truly bizarre dream she had over breakfast.)

I'm curious now if we readers have seen mention of the item in question or not. I have one guess, related to vampiric fertility, or rather the lack thereof, since I could see a girl as traditional at heart as Remilia still can be thinking that might be a deal breaker (despite knowing G does not exactly lack for offspring.)
