Gulltown has still not really recovered from the war, and the harbor is at one half of its usual efficiency. The city guard is in chaos and ride with corruption, and with everyone at war crime is skyrocketing. King Terrence did send the twin daggers, Bryen Redfort and Dacey Frey, to assist her, and the sellswords from the original conquest remain.

The man is allowed entry. Amelia sat on the high chair wearing a magnificent gown of white and silver Lyseni silk.

"My lady," he begins, "It is good to haave someone to talk to finally...the city has gone to shit. When the northmen fucked up the city everything went south. My lady I'm doing everything I can to keep things together but without proper protection and help things will get worse."

Amelia raised her eyebrow. "And who exactly are you?" She asked, crossing her magnificent legs. "I do not want to appear rude but, well, I barely know anyone on this city!"

"I'm Maester Ray, after all the death and confusion I found myself helping people as best as I can. There hasn't been someone with enough power to get everyone to even rebuild the city properly. There are people without jobs after having their places burned to the ground. I helped rebuild one and I own a few other places now with the coin that I had."

Ami nodded, looking interested. "So you are man with a name in the city? People know you? This is good. There will be gold coming soon into the city and perhaps, if you know how to make yourself useful, some of it will be yours. For investing." She smiled.

"Yes, you could say that." The gangs cursed him when he set fire to some of their hideouts but the good folk had taken to frequenting his places. The few that were left anyway."
"Who is the gold coming from? The Northmen were the ones that raped and pillaged the city some time ago."

"All conquerors do such things, Maester Ray," Amelia responded. "Though I cannot condone such behaviour. The gold will be coming from my husband in Braavos."

"They do, so they should be responsible for correcting their own errors rather than letting those that conquered clean up the mess they made."
"I own a tavern and some other...establishments. You're welcome to come by, and I can show you what state the city is in on the ground."

"The North did conquer, Maester," Amelia responded with a smirk. "Do not forget that it was the late lord Grafton who rebelled. As for the common people... yes, show me. Right now. We will go into the city with a detachment of guards. I want to see my people and they should see me."

"We didn't want Grafton, but trade flowed smoothly people had money in their pocket. Now, not so much. People remember who bring them prosperity, not defeat."
He bowed to her, "Okay, things can get a bit dirty and the people are rough around the edges. But they're good at heart."
