"Jon Snow..." Finally, that name came from the mouth of the council. As Ned finally spoke those words, it made everyone at least surprised to hear that name.

But the question was how. What would explain all the secrets uncovered, all the rumors, and how their own secrets were now being heard by everyone in the city? And how had he managed to do that to the King of Westeros? Moreover, how would they explain the roar and the appearance of the monster?

The Hand of the King was forced to name his primary suspect while telling the council everything he knew, hoping they would help him.

But not even Varys had truly heard of anyone in the city with purple eyes. After all, it was a unique color that no one else there would have. The only thing he knew was that his little birds were being taken down one by one within the secret passages.

The entire council simply wanted to catch this Jon Snow. After all, no one there had any love for him when Ned stated that he was the main suspect.

Now that they had the name of the mysterious man who was supposed to have been missing for over eight years and had returned causing chaos, he had drawn the wrath of everyone on the council by exposing all their secrets.

The Queen immediately wanted to say that Eddard Stark was involved, which could be understandable, but no one saw the Hand of the King as an enemy—not yet.

In the end, a large operation was unleashed upon the city, searching for any individual with black hair and purple eyes, claiming that the bastard of Winterfell had tortured the king.

"Go! Go! Go!!" Janos Slynt shouted orders as the men in red began to flood every street of the capital, searching for any suspicious person.

Hooded individuals were violently approached as their hoods were ripped off and they were thrown to the ground.

"Stop this!" A woman shouted, but the soldiers did not stop and entered her house by force, searching for any suspicious person inside the homes.

"You're scaring my baby!" She cried out as a soldier pushed another woman while they searched through the bedroom of another house, ignoring the sound of a child crying.

There was no more hesitation—the order was to search every house. The population was stunned by the abuse from the men, which would only make them more outraged.

"You have no right to enter here!" A common man exclaimed, trying to protect his family like anyone else on those streets.

"Get out of the way!" The guard shouted, pushing him aside.

As the guard was entering that house, a hooded man stood with his arms crossed atop a rooftop, watching everything and looking down with curiosity.

His gaze fell upon several houses along the city streets he could see from there, while the guards continued, and the people screamed, trying to stop them. They weren't just looking for Jon—they were also invading homes and rummaging through people's belongings, stealing anything valuable they found.

"Seems like they've made a rather reckless decision... Would be a shame if the whole city rose up against them long before any war could happen." Jon commented, shrugging it off. This was the path they had chosen to deal with him.

He set it aside and decided to handle this madness later. He simply jumped off the rooftop, falling more than 15 meters before landing on the ground with a small sound from the impact, and began walking as if what he had just done was normal.
