Both Dany and Jae rode on dragon back to Dragonstone. Jaehaerys had noticed something was off with her sister, she wasn't the same girl she'd grown up with, but ever since they'd left Winterfell, she had been quiet. Not much had been said between the twins and Jaehaerys followed Daenerys when she stepped off of Drogon.
"Are you going to tell me what has been bothering you? Or are you going to wallow in it all by yourself?" Jaehaerys asked her sister who stopped and glared at her.
"Do not act as if you did not know." Daenerys said harshly and Jaehaerys scoffed grabbing Daenerys' arm.
"Know what?" She asked. Daenerys looked back to see her Unsullied army emerge from the water after their fight with Euron Greyjoy and his fleet.
Daenerys had lost Rhaegal, her other dragon, while Jaehaerys two smaller dragons were wounded.
"That Jon Snow is actually Aegon Targaryen, the son of Rhaegar and Lyanna." Daenerys said and Jaehaerys stopped.
"What?" She was dumbfounded.
"I had no idea." Jaehaerys swore and Daenerys sighed.
"If he were to tell anyone about it, he'd have claim to the Iron Throne." Daenerys said.
"Jon doesn't want that. He didn't want to be king of the north anymore than he wants the Iron Throne." Jaehaerys explained and shook her head.
"But it doesn't matter what he wants! It's what the people want! If there is a male heir, they will never accept me as their queen!" Daenerys shouted.
"Neither of us were ever supposed to be queen. That was our brother's throne. You've freed slaves all over the world, and you helped the north win their fight! Of course the people would choose you!" Jaehaerys tried to reason with her.
"They only listen to fear. No one wants Westeros to have a queen, but I have dragons." Daenerys stated and Jaehaerys shook her head.
"You can't intimidate everyone with a dragon! A good ruler-," Daenerys cut her off and stared at her twin sister.
"What would you know about being a ruler? Where were you while Robb was King of the North? You know nothing about running a kingdom!" Daenerys claimed and Jaehaerys stepped back slowly, her hands shaking.
"Neither do you!" Jaehaerys screamed.
She turned around and noticed Grey Worm looking disturbed.
"Yes?" Daenerys asked. Jaehaerys shook her head and bit her lip.
"Misandei is missing!" He exclaimed and Jaehaerys looked wide eyed and back to her sister.
"We have to get her back." Jaehaerys said and Grey Worm nodded. Cersei had taken her.

Daenerys laid down the lion figure on the war map. Jaehaerys had stood quietly beside her sister.

"We will storm the city, my queen. We will kill your enemies. All of them." Grey Worm promised, his despair and sadness showing through his words.

"Your Grace. I promised you I would look you in the eye and speak directly if I ever thought you were making a mistake. This is a mistake." Varys told Daenerys. Jaehaerys gasped and looked at him.

"You saw my child fall from the sky." Daenerys told him harshly. Varys nodded and looked at the other twin sister with a look of desperation.
"They took Missandei." Daenerys said. Jaehaerys took her hand and squeezed.

"Cersei needs to be destroyed, but if we attack King's Landing with Drogon and the Unsullied and the Dothraki, tens of thousands of innocents will die. That is why Cersei is bringing them into the Red Keep. These are the people you came here to protect. I beg you, Your Grace. Do not destroy the city you came to save. Do not become what you have always struggled to defeat." Varys asked. Jaehaerys felt his words rang true. He was right to not want Daenerys to attack Kings Landing.

"Do you believe we're here for a reason, Lord Varys? I'm here to free the world from tyrants. That is my destiny and I will serve it, no matter the cost." Daenerys told Varys. He stayed silent and glanced at Jaehaerys who closed her eyes for a moment.

"It could be a fortnight before Jon and the allied armies make it to King's Landing. In the meantime, demand Cersei surrender. Offer her her life in exchange for the throne. If there's a chance to avoid the coming slaughter, we should make the effort." Tyrion explained and Jaehaerys nodded.
"I will not have my dragons attack innocents, sister." Jaehaerys told Daenerys.
