In my chamber, Jaime and I sit around a table, and I pour us some wine "He doesn't want the throne. That's why he bent the knee."
"Not because he is your brother, Lyanna but as a ruler, he is a good soldier and commander. He's temperate and measured."
I sigh "I hate to say it but he's a man, which makes him more appealing to the lords of Westeros, whose support we are going to need."
Jaime gives me a look "Joffrey was a man"
I shake my head "He was a child and I pity him, if he had the right father and a mother, he would not be like that and you see how Robert treated him"
Jaime nods "Jon is the heir to the throne. Yes, because he's a man and the only trueborn to Rhaegar, They could rule together as king and queen."
"She's too strong for him. She'd bend him to her will, as she already has. and for fuck sake became like her puppy"
"Jon's the one man alive who might actually be able to keep the North in the Seven Kingdoms."
There knock at the door and I open it, it was Jon and I smile at him "Brother"
Jon smiles "I will not attack King's Landing with Daenerys" I stare at him and share a look with Jaime "Cersei will not give us peace and you know that so I guess we need Varys's help"
I smile "Long live Jon Snow" I jump on him and he hugs me tightly with a smile.
Jaime approaches us with smile and pats Jon's shoulder "You did the right thing, Jon"
Jon smiles "For my daughter, you, our half-sister and our siblings"

In the painted table chamber, Daemion sits at the head of the table. Around it me, Jon, Laela, Aemon, Saera, Daenora, Daella, Viserys and Daenerys. Legolaes, Bard and Maelys stand behind us.
Daemion stands "I gather all of you after losing my brother and your father and grandsire. The King was well last night... by all accounts. Which of you here can swear that he died of his own accord?"
Aemon argues "Which of us are you accusing of regicide, uncle?"
"The killer between us" Everyone shares a look with one another "Or we have a traitor in the castle" he takes a deep breath "The next King must be Rhaegar as the eldest son and he is also dead so for his eldest child Aegon and he is also dead then to youngest child Aegon" Jon looks at him with a nod "Would you take the Throne?"
Jon looks at Daenerys "I bend my knee already to my queen but The situation is imperative to me because I am the only trueborn male for Prince Rhaegar and the heir" Daenerys stares at him "I will take the reign" looks at Aemon and Viserys "because we have no time to separate us, we must unite as my grandfather and your father wanted, Aelor" he looks around "Where is Aelor?"
Aemon sighs "Aelor is not here"
Daemion wonders "Excuse me?!"
Aemon shrug "I had no idea, where he is. He did not back since the funeral three days ago"
Jon nods "You have to find your brother right now, I want you because" he points at all of us "The people here are the ones I really trust"
Daemion asks "Do you have a plan?"
Jon nods "I have one without exhausting a single drop of blood, but it is not my plan alone, I could not do it without my sisters, Rhaenys and Visneya."
Laela and I share a smiling look.
Laela explains "Everyone here has an important role to play in this plan. We must follow it step by step and not mix up the steps"
I continue "The most important person here is you two" I point at Aemon and Viserys.
Daenerys asks "What is the first step?"
Jon to Aemon "You find your brother, and then we will give you a map of the secret entrances to the castle" to Viserys "You are going to take Marcella your hostage"
Viserys snaps at us "What?"
I give Viserys a look "Trust us, Viserys, or me at least"
Jon makes his point "The most important thing now we'll do is get Missandei alive" he wave to them to come close "Give me all your attention and please"
》》》》 《《《《
In Daella's chamber, Daella sleeps on her bed. Larissa and I stand together on the balcony, Larissa wipes her tears "I could lose her any time"
I assure her "Maester said it may if these days go well, she will survive"
Larissa looks around "I lost her father, lost uncle Aeryn, I am not ready"
I put my hand on hers "She will survive"
Larissa nods "Where is Rhaegar?"
"I send him to Harrenhal with Laela, after what happened he is safe with his aunt"
"Good what you did if did not Daella sick I was going to send her to Driftamrk but you see"
I look at Daella smiling "My sweet girl, she will survive"

Outside King's Landing, Varys, Grey Worm, Daenerys, and Tyrion stand in front of a phalanx of Unsullied soldiers.
High above them, Cersei, Euron, and The Mountain look down upon them from atop the gate. Missandei stands with them, shackled and frightened. They are flanked by a long line of scorpions that are loaded, manned, and ready.
The small company of Unsullied are vastly outnumbered by the archers and soldiers of King's Landing. An Unsullied soldier shouts and the company thumps their spears to attention.
The gate rattles and Qyburn walks out. Tyrion steps forward to meet him halfway between the gate and the Unsullied.
"My lord."
Tyrion says "Queen Daenerys demands Cersei's unconditional surrender and the immediate release of Missandei of Naath."
Qyburn says "Queen Cersei demands Daenerys's unconditional surrender. If she refuses, Missandei of Naath will die here and now."
Tyrion says "Qyburn, you're a rational man."
"Or so I flatter myself, my lord."
"We have a chance here, perhaps our last chance, to avoid carnage."
Qyburn nods "Yes."
"Help me. I don't want to see this city burn. I don't want to hear the screams of children burning alive."
"No, it is not a pleasant sound."
"I- I don't want to hear it. Help me save this city."
Qyburn explains "My lord, I am only a mouthpiece for our queen."
Tyrion corrects "Your queen."
Qyburn says "Cersei is Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. You are her subject."
"Her reign is over. You understand this. Help her understand it."
"We understand nothing of the sort. Your armies are battle-weary and depleted, while ours have been reinforced with the Golden Compan___"
Having heard enough, Tyrion walks past Qyburn so that he can address Cersei directly. As he approaches the wall, The Kingsguard responds to the thread "Ready! Nock! Draw!"
The scores of archers draw their bows back, aiming at Tyrion. The Imp continues to approach until he is within shouting distance. Looking down at him with contempt, Cersei raises her hand, ready to give the order to her soldiers.
After a tense moment, she makes a fist and brings her arm gently to her side. Her men stand down.
Tyrion nods, grateful "I know you don't care about your people. Why should you? They hate you and you hate them. But you're not a monster. I know this. I know this because I've seen it. You've always loved your children. More than yourself, more than Jaime more than anything. I beg you. If not for yourself, then for your child. Your reign is over, but that doesn't mean your life has to end. It doesn't mean your baby has to die."
Cersei weighs his words. Daenerys looks on, anxious and angry. Cersei steps forward next to Missandei and clutches her arm.
In response, Daenerys and Grey Worm move closer "Cersei to Missandei "If you have any last words, now is the time."
Missandei stares below for a moment and takes a few shuddering breaths before raising her eyes "Dracarys."
Horror and disbelief show on the faces of Daenerys and Grey Worm. Tyrion mouths "No". Cersei smiles cruelly. She looks to The Mountain, who steps forward, drawing his great sword.
I walk between the crowd of the army wearing one of Lyanna Stark's blue dresses and wearing a crown of winter roses and making my hair like hers. I shout "Stop, stop" All of them turn their attention to me "Sister in law" I smile "I missed you"
Cersei stops the mountain and he put down his sword and gives me an annoyed look "Bastard of Winterfell, you still alive"
I smile with a slight nod "I am, you know I am a cat with nine souls" I wave to her "Get down, We must talk together"
Cersei wonders "Have you lost your mind or something, Lyanna?
I laugh "Sister-in-law, it is shameful to talk like this in front of people, saying that I have lost my mind and you are crazy" I point at Daenerys "Especially in front of the exiled princess"
Tyrion whispers to me "Lyanna, What are you doing?"
At the same, Euron shouts at me "Oh you, what do you say?"
I roll my eyes "Has anyone told you to open your mouth, shut it up before I make my lion close it for you with blood"
Cersei looks around "Is Jamie here?"
I shake my head "What will Jaime do here?"
Cersei on her nerves "Didn't you say: My lion, you imbecile"
I smile "Oh yeah I mean a real lion, Jamie's not here, didn't you know"
Cersei trying to calm her nerve "Know what?"
I look at Tyrion "Jaime is a hostage of the Stark family. He's in Winterfell. I haven't seen him in ages" I sigh "sadly"
Cersei annoyed "What are you doing here?"
I smile "I am here to take Missandei with me, I came to save her" looking at Messandei "She has a poor lover waiting for her return in my palace"
Messandei looks at me confused, Grey Worm stares at me and Daenerys gives me a look 'What?'
I continue talking "Harrenhal, if you see him" I sigh sadly shaking my head "you will grieve about his condition" I act like whispering putting my hand over my mouth and shout to let them hear me "Their relationship is secret, as you were with Jaime and I was with Daeron."
Cersei widens her eyes and Tyrion stares at me.
Euron orders "Shoot arrows at her" No one in the army raise his crossbow or be ready to shoot "I ordered you
I smirk "They will not" I point at everyone "They can shoot anyone here" I point at myself in challenge "Except me"
Euron smugly "And this why?"
I proudly pace around "I was raised from the dead, they think I'm some goddess" I stop and look at Cersei "Give me Missandei so I do not cause too much confusion here, Cersei" Cersei raises her eyebrow "Give me the lady so you will not regret it"
Cersei nods "You talk a lot. You came to prolong the conversation and delay the execution__"
I cut her "You know the worst thing you did in your life___ you made me like you, and I learned a lot from you" I smile "and I thank you for that" I look at Daenerys then at her "You will not love anyone in your life the way you love your children" I shout "Viserys!!"
Viserys came holding Myrcella and put a dagger in her neck "Nice see again"
I smile "Oh look who came" play with Myrcella's hair and look at Cersei "The princess who was supposed to be in the rock" I leave them "So Myrcella's life versus Missandei's life"
Myrcella cries "Mother" Cersei looks at her worried.
"Kill Missandei, He will kill Myrcella so get down to take your daughter and give me Messandei and I will take all this army back and we met in the open field soon enough"
Cersei looks at us thinking but did not move Myrcella calls for her crying as Viserys starts to put the dagger on her neck more and a stain of blood came out "Mother!"
Cersei looks at the soldiers "realize her"
I smile "Please get down with her to take your daughter" I share a look with Daenerys who smiles in victory.
Cersei bites inside in her mouth angry and Euron stops her "What are you doing?"
"I am getting my daughter"
"They can not hurt her"
"Are you blind?" Cersei walks past him with Missandei.
I hold Daenerys arm and whisper to her "Jon is fucking smart"
Daenerys whispers to me "Yes" We smile at each other
I to her "Let the army march back then"
A soldier came to me and whispers "Your grace, Prince Aemon is inside with Prince Daemion"
Daenerys nods "We are ready"
Cersei gets down and walks towards us pushing Messandei harshly "Here"
I walk towards her smiling "Oh I missed you" I kiss he two cheeks "It is been a long"
Cersei pushes me back "Give me my daughter"
"Before I give you Myrcella, I did not tell you that I know my mother" Cersei scoffs and I bow like Lyanna as Jaime taught me how she was acting and hold my winter roses crown "Lady Lannister"
Cersei stares at me like a wet cat.
I laugh "Oh, I was surprised too" I whisper in her ear holding her arm "I am not a bastard, I am trueborn, my mother Lyanna Stark married my father" Cersei gives me a look "Prince Rhaegar Targaryen" I laugh smugly "I was never a bastard" my smiles fades "I am the daughter of the only man you loved in your life, look at fate, your brother always told me that fate is weird"
Viserys left Myrcella as Daenerys takes Messandei and hugs her. Myrcella runs to Cersei and hugs her.
Cersei kissed Myrcella's head "This is not the end, Lyanna"
I noo with a smile "I know honey"
Cersei looks me up and down "Now you will know the meaning of fear for your child"
Daenerys asks "What does that mean?"
"Means Harrenhal curse smell fly since yesterday" She walks back with Myrcella.
Daenerys looks at me worried as I felt my heart falls.
I warn Cersei "If anything happens to someone I care about, I swear to eat your liver while you are alive"
Cersei smiles and walks away.

Lyanna POV
I arrive at Harrenhal and see the huge smoke, I jump from the horse and run through the gate "JAIME!"
Jaime runs to me "Lyanna" he stops me holding my arms "Hey! Stop!!"
I frightened "What happened?"
"The castle burned" I stare at him "Harwin and Gwen did not survive"
I grab his arms "My son, Jaime, Where is Rhaegar?" Jaime does not find the words "No!" Jaime nods sadly "NO! Jaime" I look around "He is with Laela"
Jaime shakes his head "Lyanna__"
I back from him "I want to breath"
"Lyanna"
"I can not breath" I put my hand on my chest "I can not breath" I fall between Jaime's arms.
