3 I have money, let others fight for me

Claw Island - 275

1 year has passed, at age 11, Vigar has fully gained his father's trust, his chocolate business has become huge, basically the island has started to focus entirely on producing chocolate in addition to fishing

In addition to the crown lands, chocolate is now sold in Westerlands and The Reach, the two richest regions.

With the money, Vigar build looms, honestly it's extremely easy to build old looms, with his modern knowledge it wasn't difficult, now he has the best looms, soon he started buying a lot of silk

Vigar hired women and taught them to use the loom, they live nearby and are faithful to the Celtigar house, only 1 woman with the new loom could produce the same as 10 old looms

Based on the crafts, 100 looms were made, enough to produce colorful silk garments.

Due to the climate, it's hard to sell chocolate in Dorne, but selling colorful fabrics is easy, the people of Dorne love colorful clothes.

----------------------

Claw Island - 276

Chocolates in 3 regions and clothes in Dorne, Vigar's fortune has increased, but the biggest problem has arisen, lack of ships

Whether to buy cocoa or silk, it takes long trips to the summer islands and free cities

So Vigar somehow convinced his father to start the project to build a dock.

This dock will be able to produce ships for trade, fishing and war galleys, if necessary; unfortunately, large warships are out of reach.

In addition to commerce, Vigar did not stop training, he hired his own warrior to be his bodyguard and help him train, Ciro Sand, a mercenary from Dorne

Having the last name of Sand, Ciro is a bastard of some noble house but Vigar didn't ask, he is satisfied with Ciro, unlike the knights, Ciro doesn't care about honor in combat, he teaches battle arts for survival and killing

Ciro is good with spears and axes, as well as poisonous weapons.

"Damn boy, you almost beat me, it took me years to master the axe, and you're 12 years old and almost" Ciro

"hahaha, I had a good teacher" Vigar, he wore a little black leather armor and held a black and red ax in his hand

The Valyrian steel ax was given to Vigar as a gift from his father on his 12th birthday, the name of the ax is the glow of death.

In particular, Vigar doesn't like the name, but it is customary for Valyrian weapons to have only 1 name during their lifetime.

Vigar is only 1.53 at 12 years old, very young but he still manages to lift the huge war axe, whoever looks at it doesn't believe

Vigar's body is thin, small and white, something that doesn't look like a warrior, but his physical strength is already the same as an adult's.

Ciro in comparison is big at six-foot-five with massive bronze-colored muscles.

Ciro abandoned mercanary life, Vigar offered a monthly salary of 100 gold dragons, he became Vigar's bodyguard

Although Vigar is a strong warrior and gets stronger every year, he has no experience in fighting or killing, so he wants to keep an experienced bodyguard.

Vigar wants his own reliable army, obviously the best are the unsullied ones, the only problem is that it is forbidden to buy and sell slaves in Westeros

Vigar has already figured out a way around this, just send someone you trust to a free city, buy the unsullied ones and start a mercenary company, then Vigar will buy the services of those mercenaries indefinitely

Ciro is the perfect choice to do this, but first Vigar still wants to test and ensure he's loyal, so well paid, that to go in person, Vigar doesn't want to risk himself at sea without a war fleet

"Ciro, are you training the castle guard?"

"Yes, although they are a lot of rubbish, I try to improve them a little" Ciro

Ciro like all Dornes doesn't like polite words, he loves whores and wine, but his battle skills are unquestionable.

"Alright, just train so they can at least avoid any attacks" Vigar

-----------------

Vigar went back to his room, he was planning something

Crackclaw Point is a place that should be the Celtigar house, but recently his father sent tax collectors and only half came back alive, the residents of that place humiliate his family for centuries

Although Vigar plans to acquire it fully, just after entering court after Robert's rebellion, he will already start to weaken these bastards.

As a merchant, Vigar knows the power of money, he doesn't need to attack these people, just hire someone to do it

Brave Companions, an infamous mercenary company, its members are generally criminals of the worst kind, probably the only mercenary company in Esso to accept work in Westeros

Crackclaw Point has some recent noble houses, but generally they are descendants of the first men, no diplomacy and refuse to accept Celtigar's rule, no king cares as they pay taxes

However if "pirates" start looting small fishing ports and stealing their wealth, they won't pay tax

Unfortunately for these savages, Vigar doesn't care about honor and has enough money to lure the relentless mercenaries

"Idiot savages, I want to see if you won't beg my house to dominate your territory and protect your people" Vigar

An anonymous little soldier went on a trip to Essos to hire the Brave Companions
