LION AMONG WOLVES
— 102. Coronation
Several months had passed and the Great Houses had finally called a meeting with the Unsullied on matters regarding Tyrion and Jon's imprisonment. Annalys had been forced to leave the city by Grey Worm, despite her trying to stay. She ended up traveling to Casterly Rock, where she reclaimed her Ancestral Seat. It had been the first time she had been there since she was a child and it was oddly comforting.She practically cleaned the entire place on her own and fixed it all up inside. There wasn't much bannermen left, but soon enough, numerous people pledged fealty to her in the Westerlands and named her their liege-lord. Well, liege lady.
Now, in the middle of the Dragon Pit in King's Landing, there was a large tent with the Lords and Ladies of the Great Houses sitting underneath it.
Annalys sat near the Starks, watching as Tyrion was brought toward them by Grey Worm. Tyrion glanced around before locking eyes with Annalys. He sighed in defeat, quickly looking down at the ground in shame, "Where's Jon?" Annalys suddenly spoke up, a questioning look when she saw Jon nowhere in sight.
"He is our prisoner," Grey Worm responded, earning a glare from both Sansa and Annalys.
Annalys had always gotten along with Daenerys' men, but there was something she didn't like about Grey Worm and it was clear he had a disliking toward her as well, "So is Lord Tyrion," Sansa reminded him in a stern tone, "They were both to be brought to this gathering."
"We will decide what we do with our prisoners. This is our city now." He informed the group, not intimidated by the look Annalys was giving him.
"If you look outside the walls of your city, you'll find thousands of Northmen who will explain to you why harming Jon Snow is not in your interest," Sansa argued with the man.
"And you will find thousands of Unsullied who believe that it is," Grey Worm retorted, just before Yara decided to speak up.
"Some of you may be quick to forgive. The Ironborn are not. I swore to follow Daenerys Targaryen," Yara reminded the group, earning a glare from Sansa.
"You swore to follow a tyrant," Sansa argued with Yara, who was quick to glare at her.
"She freed us from a tyrant," Yara corrected the Stark woman, "Cersei is gone because of her, and Jon Snow put a knife in her heart. Let the Unsullied give him what he deserves."
Annalys shifted uncomfortably, clearly feeling uneasy about Jon being blamed. Just then, she turned her head, glaring at Yara, "Say another word about killing Jon Snow and I'll kill you without blinking," She threatened Yara, who noticed the hint of Cersei Lannister in the woman's eyes, oddly enough, "Maybe then, you'll get what you deserve."
