Not To Be Dramatic // Jon Snow

29. Deal

"How many people live here?"

"A million, give or take." Tyrion answered.

"That's more people than the entire North crammed into that. Why would anyone want to live that way?" Jon questioned.

" There's more work in the city. And the brothels are far superior."

"Gross. Jon dont befriend Tyrion," Selma cut in. "He is not proper friend material."

"Lady Selma." Brienne said nodding to her.

"Brienne!" Selma hugged her. Brienne chuckled feeling like she had a little sister in Selma. "How are my siblings? Rickon and Bran, arya came too I heard." Selma said quickly looking up to the large woman that had protected her for moons. SHe had a great respect for Brienne.

"They are safe, for now."

"Because of the war and whatnot approaching winterfell." Selma agreed. SHe nodded.

"Your sister is quite the warrior."

"Arya? I never doubted it." She agreed. "I miss them. And Bran?"

"I left this shit city because I didn't want to die in it. Am I going to die in this shit city?" Sandor demanded.

"You might." Tyrion agreed

"And this is all your idea. Seems every bad idea has some Lannister cunt behind it." Sandor spat.

"And some Clegane cunt to help them see it through." Tyrion agreed.

Selma couldnt focus as they started to talk, to discuss. Daenerys made an entrance and Selma and Cersei collectively rolled their eyes. Cersei stared back at Selma. Of course she wanted to end this war but she didnt care who was queen in the end. She didnt like how Daenerys looked at HER Jon and she didnt think that Cersei had the peoples best interests at heart.

"this isn't about living in harmony. It's just about living. The same thing is coming for all of us. A general you can't negotiate with. An army that doesn't leave corpses behind on the battlefield. Lord Tyrion tells me a million people live in this city. They're about to become a million more soldiers in the Army of the Dead."

"I imagine for most of them it would be an improvement." ceresi countered

"This is serious. I wouldn't be here if it weren't." Jon shouted

" I don't think it's serious at all. I think it's another bad joke. If my brother Jaime has informed me correctly, you're asking me for a truce."

" Yes. That's all." Daenerys agreed

" That's all? Pull back my armies and stand down while you go on your monster hunt. Or while you solidify and expand your position. Hard for me to know which it is with my armies pulled back until you return and march on my capital with four times the men."

Selma hadnt see the beast, she froze when Sandor unleashed it. She didnt want to be in the same room as that thing, chained or not. She looked to Jon, he had gone up against hundreds of those things. He survived, but her Jon was always brave.

" We can destroy them by burning them." Jon set the hand aflame, and it writhed.

Jon was so sexy, Selma wasnt paying attention as he explained how to kill it and why they needed to end the great war. This was the great war, not the one for the iron throne.

" I'm going back to my island. You should go back to yours. When winter's over, we'll be the only ones left alive." Euron smirked back at Daenerys before leaving.

"He's right to be afraid. And a coward to run. If those things come for us, there will be no kingdoms to rule. Everything we suffered will have been for nothing. Everything we lost will have been for nothing. The crown accepts your truce. Until the dead are defeated, they are the true enemy." Cersei decided.  "In return, the King in the North will extend this truce. He will remain in the North where he belongs. He will not take up arms against the Lannisters. He will not choose sides." Cersei demanded.

" Just the King in the north?" Daenerys countered.

"I would never ask it of you. You would never agree to it" Cersei chuckled. "And if you did, I would trust you even less than I do now. I ask it only of Ned Stark's son. I know Ned Stark's son will be true to his word."

Daenerys was ready for him to say no, fuck off but he cleared his throat.

Jon in turn didn't swear loyalty to daenerys, he felt no obligation to break this union that he could make with the lannisters to save the north. So when asked from cersei not to rise up against the south he agreed.

"You have my word." Jon agreed. "I will not rise up against the south, the north can be an independent realm." Cersei hesitated. "No part of the rest."

"You stay up north." Cersei clarified.

"We stay up north and the houses of the north are free from this war." Jon agreed. "If you send your men to help us end this."

"Deal." Cersei agreed, she could rule over the six kingdoms. "I will sent my armies north to help. When its done you stay put."

Daenerys was furious
