Evermore // Bran Stark

87. Loyalty

'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.' Dany 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 confidently.

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

'Alright' dany agreed stiffly.

'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?' dany's anger rising by the second, sansa still refused to bend the knee and now she was questioning her in front of her council. Amelia glanced over to them as she nudged Rickon back towards the fire. If Daenarys started screaming Dracarys she didnt want Rickon to be caught in the crossfire. Amelia knew first hand how stubborn Sansa could be but she agreed with Sansa and her stance not to bend the knee. No one knew enough about Daenarys Targaryen to know if she would burn the world down or help build it up. 

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

'The longer I leave my enemies the stronger they become!' Dany told her.

'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.'

'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 meet win the last war. In all seven kingdoms men will live without fear under their rightful queen' Daenerys told them confidently. "Amelia... a word please.' Daenerys asked and Amelia glanced back at Bran before following her out. Tyrion watched her go cautiously before following after her. 

'We need to talk' arya told jon and he looked back at his siblings

'Do you understand? we will be dead without her.' jon told them.

'Amelia 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.'
