You looked at the growing number of workers that were gathering. And then you realized something. You were looking not only at the workers…
But also of the port owners… or rather the men who were tasked to run the port by the Crown, men who were, above all else, your equals.
Yet when you saw them screaming and pushing at your men to start killing the striking workers. You could only snarl at them, and realize one thing.
You just wanted to go home, and deal with many of the things that you wished to work with. However, you were here now, and they were annoying you.
They then saw you, and immediately they realized what was going on. "Treason." The man said. "That is what you are all committing!" He shouted. It was Lord… Well, you didn't really know the name, he was some crownland house who was from the Claw, but more a knight than anything more, with no noble house or title, but he did have an education. "Lord commander!" He pleaded.
"Silence." You whispered as you looked at the man and made him look like he was about to die. After all, he might not have seen Grey Ghost, but the very threat was something that was on every mind when the Silent Prince spoke to them.
Though you spoke… your very presence was enough to make men bow to your will. "Here is what is going to happen…. Ser." You said the word in almost a whisper, almost everything about his face turned white as the winter snows. "There is a list of demands that these workers will make, that the King will learn about if the port remains closed. They are demands that are keeping to their sacrifice and work. And you know you cannot replace these men, not when they still control the port, not when my men will not break this strike."
You took a breath and looked at the lads, and they were with weapons that were… ready. "Now. I am going to leave. If the lads do not come to kill you, then you succeed."
You then turned away. "If not well… Who will they believe? You, or one of my lads?"
"What is it you are trying to do?!" He demanded.
"Nothing." You replied. "Except for bringing order to my city."
A few days later, you learned the port was open, and the new contracts and workers' safety was approved. Something told you that the King approved.
Reward: The Strike is successful, and many of the workers drink to your health.
The Port's safety and wages lead to the port authorities being able to get more cargo off and into the markets, making the entire city more prosperous.
+20 to the Westeros Rumor Mill.
Gain Title: The Master of The Port

-[X]The White Wrym: She calls herself Lady Misery. Daemons paramour, on and off again… lady of the night he frequents. Something tells you she has things she wants to do. And not enough time to do them so she needs extra muscle. Cost 5 BP Rolled:
D100 + 100 => 149
She was quiet. Very quiet when you entered, only looking at her strange skin and hair as she eyed you. "You are the one who Daemon calls his child?"
You nodded. Then you held up your hands. "Do you know what I am?"
"A silent one." She nodded as her hands moved. "I am in need of your help." The lads who followed you did not understand the sign.
And you liked it that way. "What is it?"
"I need to deliver a message to my contact in the Red Keep, and you need to give it to them." She signed. "All I ask is that you do not reveal the information to him."
You raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
"Daemon will be needlessly worried, and it is for the best that he is not warned of this."
You nodded. "What is the message?"
----------------------------
You looked at the Hand as the Rain fell. It was a downpour that you could not be seen, especially when the night shaded your appearance.
You made sure to play the role of the beggar. The street rat… was a role you like to play, and you played it well.
You turned down, letting your hood cover much of your defining features. "Ah, the White Wyrm sent you." He said.
You nodded. "Yes, M'lord."
The Hand seemed to pause as if he recognized you before he shook his head. "What does she have to say? Speak."
"She says she received word from the Sparrow. They believe the King is the one who is the Bat. and he is the one who is disrupting your investigation into… the others."
"The King?" He scoffed at that. "She must be drunk or stupid."
You then spoke. "Is that why he is always so wounded?"
That made you walk away, but the Hand's Voice stopped you. "Lucien." He said with a commanding tone. You turned, hiding, yet facing him. "If you are going to be playing this game, you might want to try and make sure you aren't recognized. Very few boys, let alone people know of the king's injuries." He then let you go with a nod. "I'll make sure Daemon doesn't know you are playing courier to information."
Reward: You learn that Viserys is the one roaming the city in a Bat costume… And he is disrupting several plans.
And Otto has been helping the King with his escapades and keeping them hidden from Daemon.

-[X]To the King's Court and Council: The King has requested your presence if you can make it to the court. He is trying to tout you around, maybe make your name well… and marry you off if he can before your parents come back from Dragonstone. Rolled:
D100 + 100 => 193
The King was incredulous as he smiled at you among his councilors. He was incredibly happy with your arrival, and Daemon was there as well.
It took you a moment to see Rhaenyra was there as well, pouring cups of celebratory wine into the cups of all the lords. "So this is how the Great Prince of the city handles worker strikes. Committing treason and siding with the workers, seeing their plight and forcing my port authority to be given much to… other matters." He seemed to cross, but you could see just how happy he was beneath the surface. "Yet you decide to take their side, plead their case, and after months… productivity is higher. The city makes more money, and I wonder why it was not changed sooner."
Several lord's of the council, most noticeably, Lord Beesbury, were looking shamelessly at the ground. "So… Do you all have something to say?"
"The Prince is well suited for much of the many of our jobs."
You then stopped the lord's from their rehearsed speeches, and you took a moment to scoff. "You honor me your grace, but I do my duty." You stated. "If people stop me, they will know, and they will be punished."
That made Viserys Smile. "Indeed."
Viserys then turned to them. "I might make him a member of this council. If you incompetents don't do your jobs properly."
Reward:
You have embarrassed many of Viserys' Small Council, and they are shaping up, or shutting up.
And that means in the future, things might be better. As well as less factionalism.
Otto really likes you.
