Basically this. It doesn't always sound awkward, but it's one of those things that make you go "this is definitely fantranslated Japanese media-kun".


What part of it makes you confused? "Fate" is more or less predetermined poo poo you can't change. It's basically how you normally say something like "it can't be helped" in English. I think the line "as fate'll have it" is a quite good way to convey that he's not too pleased with the order, but it is still an order.
