Jon decided to head straight to the Sealord's house while he ordered some of his ships to be steered to the closest point to the mansion by sea, since the city was entirely surrounded by waters.

"It was quick." Jon met his wife and Arya as soon as he left the meeting room, quickly informing them that the meeting had ended as they finally exited the building and headed north.

The Iron Bank was in the north of the city, but not at the highest point, since this place belonged to the Sealord's own palace, which was beside the Iron Bank, so they saw it as soon as they stepped out of the bank's doors and headed there.

There was a huge tower when the sea became visible to him on the east side of the city. Jon saw Arya looking intently at it.

"Do you know what that is?" Jon asked with a smile.

"Yes... They're the city's defense towers, as there are also walls to protect the city, with its only entrance being under the titan, these towers are high to combat potential enemies and are scattered throughout the city to take advantage of their height and protection while their archers are spread out," Arya spoke quickly while Jon nodded.

"Exactly..." Jon replied, pleased that his sister had remembered that. "And in a fight, what's the best way to beat this city?" Jon wanted to know what she thought about it.

"It's simple, we knock down the titan by blowing up its legs and destroy everything else!" Arya said, sticking her tongue out at Jon.

"Well... I think you are too accustomed to wildfire..." Jon murmured as Ygritte laughed beside them.

At that moment, the Sealord was in front, and only his guards were there, so he didn't hear their conversation. "Jon, there's the black and white house in this city... do you think they would accept me to be an assassin?" She asked playfully.

"I don't know... maybe, but you would have to swap that sword for daggers," Jon shrugged.

"No! I'm not giving up this sword," Arya responded immediately.

"You would have to live in Braavos and I heard you'd have to renounce all your family and name," Ygritte also spoke while Arya's face grew increasingly displeased.

"Forget it..." She pouted in the end before turning back to Jon with curious eyes. "How would you deal with an assassin in Jon?" Arya asked.

"These assassins are very good, your chance of success is very good with your skills and planning... so I can use my animals to identify them, besides that, I believe they are deadly to almost all people in this world," Jon thought a bit and responded sincerely, they could mimic the appearance and voice, his advantage was that the animals could alert him, after all, their instincts are much stronger than the disguise of these faceless assassins.

They continued talking as they finally entered the mansion with a large courtyard. "Welcome to my humble palace, come, I want to introduce my wife and children," he said as they approached the family.

After the introductions, they were escorted to a high-standard place near the main rooms. "You can make yourselves at home in the palace, I'll leave a man in charge to guide you through the place, I would just like to invite you to a banquet honoring your arrival in this kingdom, King of Arctica," he spoke while Jon nodded. Essos seemed much more welcoming than Westeros, the nobles here weren't as proud at least, or that might have changed after the chaos he created on the other continent.
