_________________________________________________
The reason I am going to Lannisport is to recruit personal guards. My father give me unit of 100 guards and some red cloaks, but the problem is that they are loyal to my father. And didn't follow my orders.
'They are like spies for my father observing me and reporting everything back to my father'.
The problem for gathering men is already solved as, Uncle kevan said that due to rebellion Lannisport has thousands of refugees.
As I was thinking this, suddenly Month ask " But my lord, How are you going to be able to pay for all this? I know you're a Lannister but between this as well as your other projects, you might find your pockets becoming empty." Monty's voice draws me back into the Litter, still confused due to not being able to tell where I recognised those pair of eyes from.
"I still have around half of the compensation the Dornish gave me, and your father Lord Falwell sent me a part of the profit earn from selling crops."
"Even then My Lord , you'll have to sort out sleeping arrangements, training, equipment, disciplining them as well as a whole load of other things. It will just add more onto your workload and slow down progression in other areas." Monty warned me.
"I know Monty, but that is part of the reason why I am doing this. If I am to be Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West one day then that means I need to have experience leading men, my father also agreed that this would be a good for my development as his heir." I reply, whilst all the points I explained were true, my main reason is that I need men loyal to me instead of my father. This doesn't mean I am going to overthrow him someday or something like that, it's just that the Redcloaks who guard me as well as others constantly report back to father on me.
It will also help during the Greyjoy Rebellion in a few years time. I am unsure whether they just destroyed the Lannister fleet or whether they landed men ashore and attacked Lannisport itself, if it is the latter then a well-trained, unsurprised force that I can mobilise easily would make quite a difference.
"Even though there are many unemployed young men, you still have the problem of getting recruits. The war is over, people will not like the idea of becoming soldiers again, it might even cause some to worry." Monty said, all the points he raised were reasonable and understandable.
"I doubt some people will be hesitant when they find out they'll be in my service, after all saving the Lord Lannister's heir could make them a landed knight, just like House Clegane." I explain to Monty, who just nods his head.
"I have also told Uncle kevan to look for abled bodied men, between the ages of 18 to 24 and at least 5 feet 7 inches tall to join my personal guard."
'The reason why I choose those ages are more eager to impress as well as being less onset in their ways and malleable. The height restriction is there because I would like a uniformly in them and height is included in that. And the main reason is that they are inexperienced in world politics, easy to manipulate and can't betray easily.'
