When I reached the castle I found that everyone was looking at me with some complex feelings. From the maids' whispers, I understood why they were looking like that. Due to yesterday's loud shouts and screams of pleasure from Ros's house with me in there, all the men were for not being able to perform like that with their partners, and the women felt jealous for it not being them with me. Not caring about their thoughts I reached Ned's room where he is talking with a woman who is not that beautiful but from her body and the scars that are visible on her face and hands, I could see that there is nothing wrong in calling her a warrior, She-bear.
Seeing me entering the room Ned introduced me to Maege as a traveler and food trader from afar. She said, " I heard people talk a lot about you from when I arrived yesterday." with a smile on her face. From her face and words, I understood what she was talking about. I just smiled and didn't say anything. Then they continued their talk, she came here to ask Ned to help the bear islands as the bear are constantly attacked by pirates and wildlings. And on a recent attack, their food storage burnt to leave only enough for a couple of months, and with the money they currently have it is not enough to buy from the market. Generally, Ned would have given them enough money to them to buy the necessary food. But before he made a decision I made her an offer that she couldn't refuse. I said, " I don't know if you have heard I have recently established a trading company and I have enough food to feed bear-island for many years. But as you don't have money to buy from me I will give you food that will last for 2 years in exchange for a marriage proposal to one of your daughters". She didn't immediately refuse so I continued and said, " You may not believe my words but I recently exchanged the same amount of food with Lord Paramount Eddard Stark in exchange for free trade all over the North without having to pay taxes for any Lords". She immediately turned to Ned to confirm my words to which he nodded his head and confirmed. After thinking for some time she looked at me and said, " You may be able to last longer in bed but to marry one of my daughters you will have to defeat her in a one-on-one battle this is the rules of the bear island. So the one you chose ended up defeating you then you have to give us the food for free of cost and can't marry her and you will lose your chance. So are you up for the challenge?" her eyes were shining with confidence on her daughters. I accepted her challenge and made a written agreement with Lord Paramount of the North, Eddard Stark as a witness.
Earlier I decided to stay in Winterfell till Ned goes south and to make Cersei my sex slave but now I decided to go to bear-island. We are going to leave in two days. I took my dire wolf pup with me and gave him to Ros to take care of and explained about our journey to bear-island. I also bought Fenrir bloodline for the dire wolf and carefully merged it with him. Now that I think about I haven't named him. I asked Ros to name him as she is going to take care of him from now on. Ros said, " I am gonna name him "Shadow" just like his color. Shadow the night hunter." as she picked him up to her face level he started liking her face showing his affection for giving him a name and that he liked it. In these two days I got an order forged by Ned stating that I can freely trade in the North without having to pay any taxes for nobles and can recruit or develop my own army for the protection of the company and its goods. I made a document as he will die as soon as he decides to go south.
No one in Westeros except the Starks and Mormonts people know of my origin as the word didn't reach others as the messengers were assainated by my shadow soldiers. So the people playing the game won't change their plans. They may change their game plan after hearing about a new big trader coming from afar as I will soon expand my company to the South. I am going to make bear-island my first military port base. Then I will develop port bases on islands surronding the Westeros while Kings battle each other. Bear island, Iron islands, The Arbor, Stepstones, Tyrosh, Lys, Tarth, Dragonstone, Three Sisters, Skagos.
