'I'm waiting for an old friend.' Bran said to Samwell.

'You're his brother shouldn't you tell him?' Samwell asked nervously.

'I'm not his brother and he trust you more than anyone, now is the time' Bran told him but his gaze shifted to Salem. She was ever the chipper one this morning, Magnus was on her chest and babbling out, she smiled running her hands through his tuffs of black hair. 

"Secrets, secrets are no fun unless they are shared with everyone." Salem remarked coming up to Bran. 

"What secret?" 

"You looked like you were conspiring. Bran, my little perfect Bran?" Salem tsked. 

"It's not my secret to tell." Bran countered.

"So if I ask that nervous little man, it will be his secret to tell."  Salem agreed. "Just tell me I'm going to find out anyways." she deadpanned. 

"Jon is... Targaryen." 

"What?" Salem spat. "He married that-"

"No, his... father." 

"Our father?" Salem countered. 

"No, his mother is Lyanna Stark." 

"Gross." Salem whispered. 

"Salem." Bran shook his head. "Lyanna Stark fell in love with Rhaegar Targaryen." 

"Fuck." salem hissed. "No! Does Jon know? Does that bitch know?"

"You worried about your crown?" Bran offered. 

"Yeah." Salem agreed immediately. "I can take the dragon bitch but my jon? Damnit." She muttered. "He has a real hold on the crown now, I mean I suppose this is better than Daenerys but..."

"You wanted it." Bran realized. 

"I wanted it." Salem agreed. "I'm a good leader. Right?" 

''I have a high septum diary and Bran has whatever Bran has.' Sam went on.

'What are you talking about?' Jon questioned

'Your mother was Lyanna stark and your father, your real father was Rhaegar Targaryen you have never been a bastard, you are the true heir to the iron throne you are a Targaryen Jon... I know this is a lot to take I'm sorry!' sam called as jon began to pace back and forth.

'My father was the most honorable man I have ever met, you are saying he lied to me all my life?" jon questioned.

'Your father... Ned Stark promised your mother he would protect you and if he didn't Robert would've murdered you... you are the true king, protector of the realms, sixth of his name, all of it.' Sam told him.

'Daenerys is our queen.''

''She should not be.'' Sam shouted back. 

'That is treason' Jon warned him

''It is the truth! you gave up the crown to save your people, would she do the same?' sam questioned. "Salem is a better queen than Daenerys, she fought the evil not everyone, she could have killed all the Bolton men for what they did, they followed Rooses lead, I heard what she did instead. They are loyal to her, to the starks!" Sam demanded. "She didnt go around killing those men for just following orders. Like Daenerys killed my family."

"Not in the mood Tormund." Salem sassed but he came in sitting beside her on the couch, she leaned into him unintentionally, he was just heavier and the couch sunk on his side more. 

"What's wrong, Queenie?" 

"I'm not going to be queen for long." Salem whispered. 

"You can still be queen of the north when that bitch claims the throne right?" Tormund countered.
