The Young Lion.

Part 49

Jason's Pov, 

Walking back into the Great Hall with my mother all heads turn in our direction while I keep mine up high. Passing the many lord and some ladies I soon walk onto the few steps before turning around as I stand in front of the large table with my mother beside me. 

"You all stand in front of a choice, and each of you has to make that themselves. My name my true name is Maekar Targaryen son of Aerys II Targaryen and Alysanna Stark, we can all turn to the blind side but some of you knew what Aerys was, what he did to his wife how his madness is one of the reasons the Rebellion happened. He forced himself onto my mother and after that he wed her, some King's think they don't have to answer to anyone and he didn't care he was already wed to Queen Rhaelle." I begin as I look around me at the people and most are silent while some whisper amongst themselves. 

"The Lannister army came here because I asked them too, Jason Lannister their Lord called upon them and now I am not even a Lannister anymore." I say with a shake of my head. "The Northerns Lods and Ladies came not only to fight for House Stark but also because they were summoned here by Sansa Stark as did the Knights of the Vale. My claim to the Iron Throne is the strongest, I am the last living son of Aerys Targaryen but I will not persue something if people do not wish to follow me. The Vassals of the Westerlands they know me, I have fought with them, I've bled with them but yet now they must choose what they wish to do. To follow me or to not follow me is not my choice, but if you choose to follow me I will fight beside you! I will bleed beside you! And if needed I will take my last breath beside you!" I say loudly as I look around me at the people before Edwin walks forward and pulls his sword out of his sheet. 

"House Sarsfield will follow you, your grace!" He yells and I don't think I've ever heard his voice so hard? First thing for everything I guess? "Joffrey Baratheon did not fight beside me, Tommen Baratheon did not fight beside me but you did. House Broom will follow you!" Lord Broom yells as he flies up  with his sword in hand before I see uncle Kevan slowly get up and walk over to me. 

As his eyes search mine I see him raise his hand before he grabs my chin and looks my face over. "A Dragon and a Wolf raised by a Lion what could be more dangerous in this world than he who learnt from the Great Lion, but has the fire of a dragon coursing though his veins, the loyalty of the wolf?  I have seen you grow from a babe to a man, the Westerlands will follow their king." He says before I pull him into a hug that he returns. 

"I am with you Jason, this doesn't change that we are family." He says as he pulls away but his hands stay on my shoulders before he looks towards my mother. "We all have things that we regret and wish to make right." He speaks before stepping down again and walking over to the Westerland Vassals. 

"Y-you want us to follow him? His father killed yours and your brother! Tywin Lannister is responsible for the death of your nephew and his mother! His whore of a sister sits on the Iron Throne and let her bastard behead your brother!" Lord  Manderly yells and I or well the Fur Ball  release a roar at his words. "He himself foug-" 

"Ill give you two seconds to shut up Lord Manderly before I will help you a hand, if you were born in the Westerlands you would have fought when your Lord called! He isn't different than any of us, look around you for once! Lions and Wolves, teeth, claws, a pack or a pride it doesn't matter! My son is your King by right, he's the last Targaryen male heir, he came here to right his wrongs to take out the Boltons and yes maybe to claim Winterfell but it would have been his right! He fought while you stayed behind your walls, he gave you a choice something many others would not have done." My mother quickly says as she cuts him off and shoots daggers towards Lord Manderly.
