Questions for Mab
Mira:
--- Quote ---I don't think there's any "rule against" salary, no.
If Harry had included a cash stipend in his negotiation, I don't think Mab would have blinked or balked.
But there is now a rule against Harry being paid: he didn't bargain for it... and Mab fulfills her bargains with surgical precision, and zero charity.
--- End quote ---
No, Harry didn't bargain for himself, he offered himself so his daughter would live. Then when he woke up at the end of Ghost Story he made it clear to Mab that while he'd do her bidding as far as he could but that he was and will remain his own man. Mab wants that because that gives her a good effective Knight. That was the bargain, being well off or secure financially was furthest from his mind at that point because he had never been well off financially or secure.. Now with children to think about and others his outlook is different.
--- Quote ---Molly has no such inhibitions. She owns a luxurious condo in an ultra-secure enclave, paid for with magical service.
--- End quote ---
She never had any inhibitions of that type that's what got her into trouble in the first place. Molly was always rebellious, long before she discovered her talent.. Remember her going up to the tree house and removing make up and putting her school uniform back on when she came home from school? No, she is more like Charity was than Michael is.

Mab has solved Harry's castle financial problems already: she engaged him to Lara. Lara has plenty of resources including cash and lawyers to help him out. From Mab's perspective, Harry can get on board with her solution or come up with another one.

Would Harry be ok with that? I can see him having a hard time with using ill gotten gains or going into debt with the White Court.

Mab doesn't care.

--- End quote ---
Mab doesn't care what Harry thinks, but Harry also doesn't particularly care what Mab thinks unless it touches upon his family or friends. Mab may have set it up that he has access to non-Winter Court resources, but that does not mean that Harry has to use the resources if he objects to the source.
