WHEN HELAENA FINALLY REGAINED HER STRENGTH BACK all she saw was rage, Towards Winterfell, Towards the Lannister men, to everywhere
She walked down the halls with her hands behind her back, the unsullied men behind her now following their new Queen, She had a bag attached to her side with rumbling coming next to it, and her dragon flew overhead as they went towards the dragon pit
Talia was next to her with a proud expression on her face but it mirrored her sad one, The Children were safe in the keep
Helaena finally stands up to the Dragon pit and throws the bag of bones in front of the stark siblings, The bones fall in front of them
"Your brother obviously doesn't know how to greet his new Queen" Helaena said smirking, Arya had a look of disgust and anger, Sansa had a tear-filled face while bran had no emotion as he stared at the skull which landed on his feet
"I tried to get what remained but my dragons wouldn't want to leave any leftovers" Helaena said as Syrax and Caraxes landed on the walls roaring at them
"If you look outside the wall of your city, you'll find thousands of Northmen who will explain to you why harming Jon Snow was not a good idea" Sansa threatened
"And you will find thousands of Unsullied, who believe that is it." Greyworm spoke up for his new Queen
"Some of you may be quick to forgive," Yara Greyjoy says, "The Ironborn are not. I swore to follow Daenerys Targaryen." she said "You swore to follow a tyrant," Sansa says
"She freed us from a tyrant. Cersei is gone because of her, and Jon Snow puts a knife in her heart. he got what he deserves."
"Say another word about saying my brother's murder was true and I'll cut your throat," Arya threatens.
"Friends, please," Ser Davos says standing up, "We've been cutting each other's throats long enough. Torgo Nudho. Am I saying that properly?" Ser Davos says
Grey Worm doesn't respond, "If it weren't for you and your men, we would've lost the war with the dead. This country owes you a debt it can never repay, but let us try. There is land in the Reach. Good land. The people that used to live there are gone. Make it your own. Start your own house with the Unsullied as your bannermen. We've had enough war. Thousands of you, thousands of them. You know how it ends. We need to find a better way."
"We do not need payment," Grey Worm says, "We need justice"
"It's not for you to decide," Tyrion says.
"You are not here to speak! Everyone has heard enough from you." Helaena speaks up, You can hear in her voice that the girl everyone saw in winterfell is gone
"No one has done any better from me speaking. But it's not for you to decide. I committed a crime here. My fate is for our queen to decide" Helaena says as she smiles wickdy
"We don't have a king," Royce says. "Why? she already has heirs?" Talia asked "and if something happened to them?" Royce asked "Are you planning something my lord?" Helaena asked as he went quiet
"The smallfolk fear you, Helaena it is best if you have someone loved next to you" Tyrion said "Choose one then, if you cannot decide then I will choose and it may not be from someone from this council," Helaena said wickedly
"Well, we have to choose someone," Yohan Royce says.
"Um," Sam says, "Why just us?" He stands up, "Um We represent all the great houses, but whomever we choose, they won't just rule overlords and ladies with Queen Helaena. Maybe the decision about what's best for everyone should be left to well, everyone."
Some start to laugh, "Maybe we should give the dogs a vote as well," Edmure says "I'll ask my horse" Royce said "Could learn to like that one" Helaena whispers to Talia who smiles
"I suppose you want the crown" Edmure asks Tyrion
"Me?" Tyrion says, "The Imp? Half the people hate me for serving Daenerys, the other half hate me for betraying her. Can't think of a worse choice and I don't think I should marry" Tyrion said
"Who, then?" Davos questions. Everyone looked at Helaena who looked around at the people on the table before meeting eyes with someone "I choose Lord Brandon" Helaena says
"Bran has no wish to be King, he also cannot father any children" Sansa reminded her still teary-eyed from Jon's murder
"My lady, You don't know until you try" Helaena said smirking as Sansa sucked in her breath as Bran slightly smiled
Tyrion noticed this and smiled "I know you don't want it. I know you do not care about power. But I ask you now if she chooses you, will you wear the crown? Will you lead the seven kingdoms to the best of your ability from this day until your last day?" Tyrion asked
"Why do you think I came all this way?" He smiled at Tyrion as Helaena smiled at him "To Brandon of House Stark" tyrion said and it was silent for a long moment but soon every man and woman around them of every great house agreed that Brandon Stark would be a good king consort
Sansa turned to him before she agreed "I love you, little brother, I always have and always will, you will be a good king but tens of thousands of men have died and have seen too much to ever kneel again the north will remain an independent kingdom as it was for thousands of years" Sansa told them
Talia didn't know why Sansa declared that to Bran when Helaena was Queen "I apologize my lady, but the North can kneel again and will" Helaena said "My sister and I sacrificed a lot to fight your pathetic war, You say the North remembers until it's a Targaryen saving you" Helaena said
"Agree to the terms or be labeled as traitors," Helaena said as Sansa looked up at the two dragons before nodding in defeat
