Jon's POV

"Lord Snow, Lady Stark, please take a seat."  Lord Athen said as we sat in the council room that was destroyed only days before. We were joined by Lord Athen, Lord Jarson, Lord Trorak, Lady Lenya, Lord Alf, and Lord Astor, Lord Astor took the seat between Sansa and I. Lord Athen took the seat next to me followed lords Alf and Trorak. Lady Lenya and Lord Jarson taking the seats next to Sansa.

I sat down in the chair and watched quietly as people began to fill the room, "Where is Maliya?" I questioned looking a Lord Athen, "The Princess will be here soon enough, Lord Snow." He said. 

"Don't worry Jon, I know it's been a few days since you've seen her, but I assure you she's fine."  Lord Astor said standing up as the council room was now full. The chatter quieted down. 

"It's wonderful to see my people's smiling faces once again."  Lord Astor started the room fell completely silent, he took a deep breath and continued, "Our mothers, daughters, sisters, brothers, fathers, our family... as of today have been mostly freed from the ice that has trapped them for decades, we owe a big thank you to our Princess. She has worked tirelessly over the last couple of days to free as many of our people as she can, sacrificing her time to heal after the battle of Blackmoon to help us. Princess Maliya has succeeded where I have failed, and shown great leadership, fighting ability and strength to bring the once fallen House Astor back to its glory."

He stopped as people cheered. 

"Today, we have three pressing matters. Sitting besides me are Lord Snow and Lady Sansa who have asked us to join sides with House Stark and aiding in the battle to take Winterfell back from the Bolton's. The second matter of business will be the discussion of the future of House Astor.The third matter of business today is the trial of Lady Ellena Astor and the traitors from the small council."  Lord Astor said. Athen then stood. 

"Joining us now is Princess Maliya." Lord Athen said. The crowd parted as Maliya made her way to us, people bowing their heads to the woman who saved them all. Our eyes connected as she stopped in the center of the room, she mouthed hello to me as a soft smile graced her bruised lips and face. 

She was dressed in a beautiful dress, hair curled perfectly,  she looked exhausted but happy

"Thank you for the kind words father."  Maliya said. Her eyes fell on Sansa and then on me.

"Lady Stark, Lord Snow... I brought you here with intentions of giving you men to fight with, and now we finally get to talk about it."  She said looking at the two of us. 

"We need all the men we can get." Sansa said standing up. Maliya smiled gently at her. Lord Trorak jumped to his feet. 

"We just got our men back and you want to send them to another war. While I'm grateful that  you brought our Princess back, I do not agree with giving you our men. House Stark and House Baratheon's attempted attack on Blackmoon all those years ago is why we got stuck in the bloody mess to begin with." Trorak said.
