Rightfully Mine // Ned Stark

134. Your loyalty stands

'The objective is to kill cersei without destroying kings Landing, thankfully she's losing allies by the day. the iron islands have been taken back in your name and the new prince of Dorne offers his allegiance and his support'

'How many lords turn against her? it does not matter if she can still call herself queen of the seven kingdoms.' Dani told them. 'We need the capital!'

'I watched the people turn against the king when they were hungry and that was before winter began. Give them the opportunity and they will cast cersei aside.' Tyrion told her.

One tyrant for another, Sasha thought. Her people were doomed.

'We will surround the city if the Lannister's and the Golden company attack we will defeat them the dragons will kill them.' jon said

'Once cersei see we are the only enemy she will see her reign is over.' tyrion told her.

'Alright' dany agreed

'Our men are tired and many are wounded.' Sansa told them. 'They will fight better if they have time to rest and recuperate'

'How long do you suggest?' daenerys asked, annoyed.

'Can't say for certain that without talking to the officers' sansa informed her.

'I came north to fight alongside you at a great cost to my armies and myself, now the time has come to reciprocate and you want to postpone?' danys anger rising by the second, sansa still refused to bend the knee and now shew as questioning her in front of her council.

'The people are yours, do you want to throw them into a war they are not ready to fight?' sansa questioned.

'everyone needs a break.' Sasha spoke up. 'they are tired, you need to put the peoples needs above your own. Cersei will still be a bitch a week later.'

'you were not asked, bastard.' Dany spat and sasha's eyes rolled up to her. Tyrion could see the pain wash over sasha but she bit her tongue, ned pulling her back. Tyrion noticed that ned calmed her temper. Kept her from harm, but Tyrion did agree with Sasha. Of course he did. Sasha always had the peoples interest in her heart. Yes she wanted the crown but she wanted it for the right reasons. 'The longer I leave my enemies the stronger they become!' Dany shouted at them.

''The northern forces will keep their promise and their allegiance to the seven kingdoms.' Jon reminded her. 'to their queen. what you command we will obey.' Sasha sucked in a pained breath. Their queen, she commands, they obey. She wanted to slap some sense into him.

'So if we are all in agreement,' tyrion asked looking around the table. 'Jon and ser Devos will head down to Kings Road with the northern troops. We will sail to dragon stone with our queen and her dragons above us-' tyrion went on explaining the plan

'We have won the great war and now we will win the last war. In all seven kingdoms men will live without fear under their rightful queen' Daenerys told them confidently.

'couldn't agree more.' Sasha whispered but Tyrion heard. Ned heard. Dany glared back at her. who was this woman?

+++++

'We need to talk' arya told jon and he looked back at his siblings, his father and sasha. Jons face pinched.

'Do you understand? we will be dead without her.' jon told them. sasha couldn't listen to this but ned kept a hand on her arm keeping her put.

'Sasha is the one that killed the night king.' Sansa reminded him.

'Those men died defending-' jon began.

'That does not mean that I will kneel before her.' sansa told him.

'I gave my respect to her' jon told them.

'I respect that.' arya said.

'you respect that?' sansa questioned

'We needed her army and her dragons and you were doing the right thing by telling her you that but we do not trust your queen.' arya told him.

'We don't need her army, her dragons, the great war is over. She is not our queen.' Ned told Jon confidently.

'You don't know her.' jon reminded them.

'I will never know her. She is not one of us.' Arya snapped.

'Thats a shit way to make allies' jon told her

'I dont need many allies' arya informed him. 'I have faith in the rightful queen. Sasha Baratheon. She is to be our queen!' arya exclaimed 'you know she is a better option then that dragon tyrant.' Sasha tried to keep the smile from her face, she kept her head down, not able to look at jon.

'jon come on, use your head, not your cock.' Ned told him.

'says you.' Jon remarked.

'you know sasha would be a better queen. She wants what is best for the people. Daenerys she only cares for herself.' Ned reminded him but jon shook his head defiantly.

'We are family the six of us. The last of the starks' arya reminded him, she turned back to her father. 'I mean right?' she nodded to sasha and sasha couldn't help but chuckle, covering her face with her hands.

'Ive never been a stark.' Jon told them.

'You are just as much as stark as the rest of us' sansa told him

'you are my brother, not my bastard brother but my brother.' Arya reminded him.

'it's your choice.' Bran said when Jon looked over at him

'I need to tell you something but you have to swear you will never tell another soul.' Jon told them

'What is it?'

'You have to swear it before I tell you' jon demanded.

'How can I promise to keep a secret if I don't know what it is?' Sansa questioned.

'Becuase we are family. Swear it.' Jon demanded.

'I swear it' arya said He looked at Sansa.

'I swear' she agreed. Jon looked to ned and sasha.

'this will change everything.' He told them.

'you already made your stance, your loyalty very obvious jon.' Sasha told him finally looking up to him. 'tell them, it does not change my mission.' Sasha informed him.

'Tell them' Jon told Bran.
