My idea was that he gives the key at second tier of Affinity while "several Foreign Knives" will get one to the first tier (rosy cheeks, silent chime) and no ammount will get one higher (pink halo, loud chime), cause only the quest can do it? But

Then I tried few outcomes of the Supply and Demand: relying on some guard relaying the precise message to Julien, taking the precise meassage to Julien himself (btw He arrives Duke's Demsne at 10AM so I had to wait a bit ;). Even talked to Julien without precising how many rations are needed.

- When brought just the good news from the guard I would not receive the key, but handing Ser Daerio just three knives would do the trick. And Ser Daerio didn't  "chime" when was giving it too. I even got to the first tier of Afffinity before clearing the quest and then brought the good news, and would receive the key next time I spoke to Ser Daerio.

- When I brought the meat Ser Daerio was NOT chiming and gave the key in the subsequent dialogue.

- when I deliverd the not so precise message to Julien it took a bit more knives to gift, still not enough for first tier of Affinity, and I finally got the key.

So, I revise my hypothesis about blocked Affinity. It's the quest that unlocks the option of receiving the key upon even slight rise of Affinity and one doesn't even need the first tier! Only in this context the article is correct.
