Jenny sat on her chair in the dragon pit her arms crossed and one of her eyebrows raised. Sometimes she looked up to Sansa who sat on her other side. Podrick stood two paces behind her assuring her that it was alright. She was there as Jensen Lannister not as the murderer of the queen. Jon was accused. No one had seen what Jenny had done. They had assumed Jon had shot her.
Jenny wanted him to be freed. It was all her fault anyway. She couldn't let the only good leader she ever knew suffer in prison for no reason.
Greyworm brought Tyrion in who was in chains as well. Jenny was angry. She was always angry these days. Her long fingers held onto the wood so tightly as she listened to the storytelling of her uncle. He was definitely just trying to save his ass. Not like anything that came out of his mouth made any sense. No one noticed her fury until she held the chair so tight that the massive wood broke. Everybody looked at her rather terrified from the action maybe just because no one expected that from a girl like her.
"And all of you believe in that?" She spit out as she already had everyone's attention. "You believe that story's end wars with yet unknown enemies?" She looked in everyone's face in disbelief. "Maybe the white walkers were scared of you spying on them" She continued making most of the lords chuckle as Sansa's glare hardened on her as did Arya's. "There's just one king among us"
"And you suggest yourself I assume?" Yara, the last remaining Greyjoy asked glaring at her.
"You just wanted into the pants of the dragon queen so you better keep your voice down a little" Jenny snapped at her making Yara jump out off her seat and charging towards her.
"Everybody stay calm" Sam Tarly suggested as the air between the two young woman got thicker.
"He's the king in the north. The king we deserve. The last of a long blood line" She said looking at them all.
"The others from that bloodline turned out mad" The knights of the vale snickered viciously. Everybody's know who Jon was actually. No bastard.
"He's our king" Arya said suddenly making all of them stare at her. Jenny looked at her with surprise. Greyworm looked triggered.
"He's our king" Sam joined in as did the others soon did as well. Jenny smiled satisfied as Sansa threw her a satisfied smile.
"He's a murderer" Greyworm broke in making the two girls look at the soldier again.
"As are you. As is everyone here. We all kill for different reasons. Jon killed her for the sake of us all. To protect his people; like a king should" Everyone joined in the loud growls. Jenny was the first to bend the knee to the man who had knelt to her days ago.

The blonde smiled at Pod as she let her hand run over her beautiful dress for the coronation of the new king.
"Is it pretty?" She asked as she looked at her husband. Her smile was brighter than the sun itself when she looked at him."Sir Podrick Payne I am sorry"
"You could wear rags and still you'd be the prettiest woman in the world to me" He said as he took her waist and looked at her with adoration in his eyes.
"You met me when I wore rags" She looked back at him with a smirk those bad memories only distant.
"Yes and you know I fell for you when you stabbed that Bolton man" He mumbled as he stared into her eyes looking at all the colors.
"You know I remember when I really first saw you. On Sansa's first wedding with Tyrion. I looked into your eyes when my brother threatened that he would rape Sansa. May I quote; it doesn't matters which Lannister gets you pregnant so I'll just come to your chamber when my uncle is sleeping. And then I said : right it doesn't matters which Lannister she's going to share her bed with. My brother swore to kill me, again. Spoiler I eventually slept in her bed that night. I remember you serving drinks, eyeing me as if I was a flower from a far away country" She snickered as she also stared into his dark eyes.
"And now we're together until the end of time, hopefully" He said as her thin fingers ran through his hair again.
"Weird" She replied as she pecked his lips."And still the world doesn't stops. Everything keeps spinning and I don't know if I'm going to be excited to see the new world or if I just wanna go back"
"The future is always better. We keep evolving" He said looking down at her smiling so very love drunken.
"I wish everything wouldn't have changed. Robert wouldn't have died. Nothing of this all would've happened" Her voice sounded clouded with sadness and bitterness. She had confessed that she missed both her mother and her father.
"Hey" He cupped her cheeks and moved her face closer to him."I really, really like how things turned out in the end" He kissed her passionately as if their life was going to end soon.
Maybe it was. Maybe they would be murdered soon and there are would only be songs sung over the golden lioness that fell in love with a squire. Maybe she would die giving birth to one of her children. Maybe a illness would kill her and Pod. Maybe a direwolf. Maybe a different Lannister would end her. Maybe, Maybe, Maybe.
All these possibilities were so very superficial in that moment. Everything that seemed to count was her and him as two little being in the game. The game they would never stop playing no matter what.
And maybe, Pod and Jenny had won that game on their own way.
