1. January 546., White Harbor
Lord Jon Manderly waited for Daario Mataris in his solar. The Tyroshi came a few days ago and was already payed his first fee. But Jon doesn't plan to pay the man for his services, he plans to make Daario a man of the White Harbor. Someone knocked on the door and Jon allowed him in.
The person was Daario Mataris, a man with a blue forked beard and mustache with a bit of green. He was dressed in long, golden silk robes. He had an arakh on his hip.
"Ah, master Mataris." said Jon
"Lord Manderly." the Tyroshi bowed "Why did you want to speak to me?"
"I wanted to speak to you about your service to White Harbor and the kingdom of the North. I now own six and ten warships, plus your five. My plan is to create the navy of the North, a navy made only of loyal followers. I do not want you to leave, I need your knowledge of ships and your men, so I have to make you my loyal follower. I offer this deal to you, Daario Mataris; life in White Harbor as one of my captains and admirals, knighthood, a luxurious apartment for yourself and great respect in the North. You will eat with me and my family in the castle. What do you say on this, Daario Mataris?" asked Jon
The Tyroshi was deep in his thoughts, thinking about Jon's offer "Hm, silver or all these things. I think I choose the latter, my lord." said Daario
"Kneel then, Daario Mataris." the Tyroshi knelt and Jon took his sword. He put the blade on Daario's shoulder saying: "Daario Mataris, I hereby name you the knight of house Mataris, vice-commander of the Northern navy. Rise now, Ser Daario Mataris." the Tyroshi stood up
"Thank you, my lord." he bowed his head
"You can leave to tell your men the news, Ser Daario. Come to dine with my family in the evening, Ser."
"My lord." Daario said, bowed and left the room

Symon and Jon were sitting in Jon's solar.
"My lord, what did you do with the Tyroshi?" asked Symon
"I knighted him, gave him a solar in the castle and named him one of my captains and commanders. He isn't a sellsail anymore, he is now my household knights and captain." explained Jon
"That was a clever move, my lord. You made him more loyal to you, stopped paying him and he is happy. You still have his five ships, but you don't have to pay for them. Reed and Stark will be very happy to hear that the North has one more fine naval commander and five more ships."
Jon smiled "Ah, Symon, I have business for you. This will be hard, but I want you to break through the Neck and go to the Westerlands. There, you will spread my spy network."
"As you say, my lord." said Symon
"Good. Lannisport is your first destination."
30. January 545., Lannisport
It was hard to travel through lands at war and even harder to enter Lannisport. Symon barely swam in through the port, as guards were all around. Who to hire in this city? Everyone was cautious, fearing for their own lives. But there are always people that respect money, there are always whores.
It wasn't hard to find the whores of Lannisport, as they were always on their positions. The problem was that most of the whores couldn't write.
1. February 546, Lannisport
Symon was happy with himself as he left the city. In stead of doing his first plans, the one with street-whores, he hired a lot of local thieves and pickpockets, even a man that called himself the Prince of Thieves.
This "Prince" was obviously once a man of high position, but he was now a man that owned a network of thieves and whisperers throughout Lannisport. He was also a man that could write.
Symon instructed him to write to the Blue Light tavern on Sweetsister, where Manderly had a man that proceeded all the letters to White Harbor. Symon realized that he employed enough men and that his lord would be satisfied.
