Lyanna POV
In my room, Rhaegar sleeps in his crib next to his dragon egg. Lucaes play with Snow. Viserys Targaryen sits opposite me "How did you do it?" I give him a questioning look "Forget what Daeron did to you"
I say "I did not forget but I forgave him, People don't stay together because they forget, but because they forgive"
Viserys says "She let them kill me and just stare watching proud of her husband"
Arthur Lannister and Gwen Grestark rush into the room and open the door without knocking they look worried.

Narrator POV
In Winterfell, the great hall. Jaime Lannister stands in the Great Hall of Winterfell. A multitude of guards are placed around the room and many who ally with House Stark.
Sitting at the head of the room is Daenerys in the centre of a long table; Jon Snow sits on her left and Sansa Stark on her right and Jaime is standing in the middle of the room facing Daenerys.
On the left of the room, there is a shorter table where Tyrion, Myrcella, Reagan, Laela, Lord Varys, Missandei and Jorah Mormont sit.
On the right, there is another table where Davos, Lyanna Mormont, Lord Yohn Royce, Alys Karstark and Brienne of Tarth sit.
Daenerys says "When I was a child, my brother would tell me a bedtime story about the man who murdered our father."

Lyanna POV
Arthur Lannister and Gwen Greystark rush into the room and open the door without knocking they look worried. I say "Gwen!"
Arthur says "I'm sorry but there is a court downstairs and I am sure both of you must be there"
Gwen says "Jaime Lannister arrived alone without any army with Myrcella"
I stand looking at them "What? Take care of the children" I rush past them running downstairs.
》》》》《《《《
In the Great Hall, Daenerys says "Who stabbed him in the back and cut his throat? Who sat down on the Iron Throne and watched as his blood poured onto the floor."
Jaime's eyes lowered. I and Viserys walk in followed by Arthur Lannister. I stop in my tracks seeing him and Myrcella. Viserys and Myrcella catch eyes and she looks away.
Daenerys looks at Viserys "He told me other stories as well. About all the things we would do to that man once we took back the Seven Kingdoms and had him in our grasp" She pauses "Your sister pledged to send her army north."
Jaime says "She did."
"I don't see an army. I see one man, with one hand. It appears your sister lied to me."
Tyrion looks up at his brother.
Jaime looks back "She lied to me as well. She never had any intention of sending her army north" Daenerys turns her glare toward Tyrion. I and Laela share a look. Jaime still gives me his back didn't see me yet "She has Euron Greyjoy's fleet and 20,000 fresh troops. The Golden Company from Essos, bought and paid for. Even if we defeat the dead, she'll have more than enough to destroy the survivors."
Daenerys wonders "We?"
"I promised to fight for the living. I intend to keep that promise."
I smile proudly at him.
Tyrion steps forward towards Daenerys "Your Grace, I know my brother__"
Daenerys says "Like you knew your sister?"
Tyrion says "He came here alone, knowing full well how he'd be received. Why would he do that if he weren't telling the truth?"
"Perhaps he trusts his little brother to defend him, right up to the moment he slits my throat."
Tyrion looks at Jon and Sansa.
Sansa says "You're right. We can't trust him. He attacked my father in the streets. He tried to destroy my house and my family, the same as he did yours."
Sansa, can't you just shut your mouth for a while?
Jaime says "Do you want me to apologize? I won't. We were at war. Everything I did, I did for my house and my family. I'd do it all again."
Bran says "The things we do for love."
I and Jaime look down. Daenerys, Sansa and Jon all turn slowly to look at Bran who sits to the side of Sansa. Jaime looks at him and Bran maintains eye contact.
Daenerys says "So why have you abandoned your house and family now?"
Jaime says "Because this goes beyond loyalty" He looks around to see Brienne then turns back "This is about survival."
Tyrion turns to look at Daenerys.
I walk towards him and he stares at me as the first time we saw each other. My heart beats faster and I am sure he does too, as all the people disappear around us for a moment. We aged, eight years ago we met be we feel old and tired like we are hundreds of years.
I stand next to him looking at Jon and Daenerys "Your grace, I guess when Jaime Lannister is here you should call for me, Sister" glare at Sansa "Her grace new in North do not know the traditional"
Jaime and I share a look.
I to Daenerys "I'm talking to you, not as part of your family, I'm talking to you as Queen of Tridents and allies to you. This is man take Dragonstone with me and give it back to your family."
I to Jon "He honoured me and give me his name, I would never be alive without him. He protected me and made me a queen" I to Sansa "Lady Catelyn trusted his loyalty once and he swore an oath to her and look at you back home" I look at Jaime "No man like him, The golden lion of honour. He is here abandoned everything and came despite he knew all the dangers he will be in" to Daenerys "but he pledged to you"
Brienne then stands up "You don't know me well, Your Grace" She walks from behind her table to stand in the middle of the Hall beside Jaime "But I know Ser Jaime. He is a man of honour. I was their captor once" I and Jaime share a look "But when we were taken prisoner and the men holding us tried to force themselves on me"
I look around trying not to remember. Jaime looks at me worried.
Brienne says "Ser Jaime defended me. And lost his hand because of it" to Sansa "Without him, my lady, you would not be alive. He armed me, armored me, and sent me to find you and bring you home because he'd sworn an oath to your mother."
Viserys walks towards Daenerys and whispers in her ear "Stop what are you doing, our father, not a hero here, you don't know all the story"
Daenerys whispers "What story?"
Viserys whispers looking at the people "Not here"
Daeron walks into the hall "Well as Aerys's older son but I have to say the truth, this man served well to our brother Rhaegar and if Rhaeger was here, he will let him stay, sister"
Sansa looks down and then back up at me "You vouch for him?"
I say "I do."
Sansa asks "You would fight beside him?"
I say "I would. Not first time"
Sansa says "You're my sister"
I give her a look Now I'm sister, because if any bad thing happens to be on me.
Sansa says "I trust you with my life. If you trust him with yours, we should let him stay."
I smile nodding then look at Daenerys.
Daenerys asks "What does the Warden of the North say about it?" She turns to Jon who sighs.
Jon says "We need every man we can get."
The room falls silent as Daenerys thinks to herself "Very well."
Tyrion exhales sharply in relief. Jaime raises his head but I look down smiling. I and Daeron share a look.
Grey Worm picks up Jaime's sword, and walks over to him, handing it over aggressively "Thank you, Your Grace."
Daenerys stands up and the rest of the room does as she does. Sansa exits. Daenerys turns to Jon who exits after his sister.
Daenerys then exits followed by Tyrion, Varys, Jorah, Brienne and Missandei.
Jaime then catches my eyes as I leave with Daeron who putting his hand on my back leads me outside.
Arthur walks towards him "So are you a fool or smart as Uncle Tywin, cousin"
Jaime says "I will be good with fool this one"
》》》》》《《《《
In Jon's chamber, I get in as he sits looking outside the window at the sky as always and drinks. Jon glares at me.
"I let you think but it has been two weeks Jon, you avoid me and avoiding Daenerys and everyone since this night and now the court you stayed in your thoughts silent" I approach him and put my hand on his shoulder "could we talk"
Jon turns to me and releases himself from my hand "I did not sleep for days barely closed my eyes"
I sigh "Jon, I could not tell__"
Jon puts his finger on his mouth hashing me "Lies!! all that came out of your mouth is lies"
"I swear an oath"
"Really? Since when you keep an oath, you never believed in gods new or old. You have always messed up things and I clean after you, you were running out of the castle at dawn and I was doing everything I could not to let Father know" he sighs "The night when you went to the brothel with Daeron"
I stare at him "How, How__"
"How did I know? Ros told me and Robb, why do you think Robb hits Daeron that night? all I did that cover behind Ros not to tell anyone, you think they called you a dishonoured girl because you are a bastard. No, sister because that night and the title became suit fully for you"
I warn him "Jon!"
"I am done with all of this, you saw me fall in love with her and did not warn me, she is my aunt. you are married to your uncle and you know it"
"I was worried to tell you because___"
"Rhaegar will be the king and now he died but his first son will be the king but Aegon is dead so Laela will take it but guess what" I stare at him "You let Laela marry happily to Harwin and she became Strong and can not sit on the throne then me here I am will not take it" he gives me a look "So who will take it? the youngest but guess what she is a girl"
"So you married Daeron he is the true heir after his brother and that will help you to sit on it"
"I married him to protect my son"
"No, Lyanna, you told me that I know what you want and inside your head with my heart. I asked the high Septon and guess what you legally married to Jaime Lannister so I am sure you knew that"
"Jon, I know you are hurt but__"
"You saw me how I was hurt hating our life, you saw me take the black, you saw how I was pled to know my mother and you were on every step with for seventeen years and how people treat us.
"I love and care about you, Jon. I did not mean to hurt you"
"You do not care about anyone, Lyanna"
Narrator POV
Outside Jon's room, Jaime is walking in the hallway, Jaime hears Jon's voice "You do not care about anyone, Lyanna"
Jaime stands to hear what they are talking about.
Lyanna POV
Back to Jon's room, I shout "All I did, I did to let you sit on the throne"
Jon shouts "You were jealous when Daenerys came as queen" I sigh looking around "You are a hateful woman, Lyanna" He walks past me hitting my shoulder with his shoulder and walking outside.
Narrator POV
Jaime hides in an empty room as he heard Jon walks outside, Lyanna walks after Jon and gets into another room.
》》》》《《《《
I walk into the boys' chamber, I check on Lucaes and Reagan the blankets on them. I head to my chamber and close the door behind me. I find Rhaegar sitting on his crib next to his egg touching it. I smile "Hey, How are you?" he smiles "You stayed all day with your sister" I kiss his head and head to change but I hear a knock at the door. I open the door.
Jaime in front of me "I couldn't sleep" he gets inside. I make sure no one sees him "No one saw me" he walks in looking around the room "It did not change, same like last time we left it" I close the door behind him and approach him and Snow runs towards Jaime circles around him in happiness and Jaime smiles "Hello, Snow" he pets her "I am happy to see you too" I hit him in the chest hard "Lyanna!"
I hit him "... Why? Why did you come back? You didn't know they hate you here"
"Lyanna, stop."
I hit him in the chest "It was one man against a dozen. They would have killed you! Why would you do something so stupid?"
"Because I love you."
I stare at him "Oh really?"
"I love you I always love you tell me it's not late. And because it's pretty obvious now that for us to stay sane, we need to be together."
"But what about not having control of our lives... ? And... and King's Landing and... and Winterfell... ? You did not back as you promised and I found out she is with child, yours"
"There has been entirely too much thinking going on and when I got back she told me she is with child and I could not leave her" I stare at him "She is my sister, my twin. she was changing to something I do not know. I know you will be safe away and I could not send a raven, she will know. I pledged to fight here and I swear I love you. I and Myrcella left everything to be here with you"
I with tears bit my lip "But it's too late" Jaime looks down "I married Daeron"
"You are still married to me, I must be dead, you can not marry him until I am dead, you were planning to kill me or something"
"I was going to send you to the wall"
"You are very generous, Princess"
I roll my eyes "I married him in Valyrian tradition, with my real name"
"Why Lyanna?"
"Maybe because our marriage broke with Jon's death. I and you in upside-down life for the last five years. Rhea wants Larissa to take Rhaegar and me to play some part in his life"
Jaime sighs and sits at the chair looking at me "I can not do this anymore. Every time I chose, It is too late, father was right"
"He was right. The dragons pit is more dangerous than the lion's den"
"If you just waited"
"I could not, Jaime. I was protecting myself and my brother and my son and now everyone hates me"
"Why?"
I sit "I told Jon the truth about us, we fight and now I had no idea what will happen after this war"
"No one hates you"
I smile with tears "I am a hateful woman"
"I want you, even if you are the night king himself"
"Jaime, It's too late"
Jaime sighs "I know but you are still my wife and I do not know your truth" he smiles "I will win you again"
"You are mad man, I am married"
"As Visneya Targaryen and only people know, you, Jon, Laela, Daeron AND Harwin"
"Prince Aeryn and Daemion and you"
Jaime smiles "No, I do not"
I roll my eyes and Rhaegaer bubbles in his crib, I look at him who tries to hold on to the crib "you meet Rhaegar"
Jaime stands and takes him from the crib "He does not look like Daeron or you" Rhaegar catches his face "Hey, Rhaegar" he smiles "he looks like Malia"
I widen my eyes "No way"
Jaime smiles "Well, he maybe has a little bit from Rhaegar and maybe Princess Daella"
"Yeah"
"Well as your maybe yes or no husband, do you have room for me"
"Yes, I will open the room you stayed before"
"Daeron sleeps her!?!"
"No man sleeps in my room"
"Except me when we married" he smirks "I am going to love what will happen in the future" I raise my eyebrow and he looks at Rhaegar "Well, I am going to get your mama back and piss off your baba"
I shake my head "I think you hit your head hard"
"First time we met I told you I wanna be yours remember We swear an oath to each other, you are mine and I am yours until our death day" Jaime puts Rhaegar carefully on the crib "This marriage I will not let you be in it, I will make sure you two broke your vows"
"Jaime, please do not ruin what I built here, it's already damaging but I want to protect my son"
"So tell me that you do not love me and I will not do anything"
"I do not love you"
"Look me in the eyes and tell me that"
I look into his eyes and with a serious tone "I do not love you, Ser Jaime Lannister" I am lying, I know but put yourself into my position for one second, it sucks to be me.
Jaime smiles "I do not believe you and I do not care" he kisses my forehead "See you tomorrow"
I shout after him "I hate you"
Jaime closes the door smirking "Dear wife"
I look at Rhaegar "Can we run?" Rhaegar laughs falling into his back and kicking the dragon egg with his leg, I smile "And who I am asking"
