The siege of Kings Landing was weeks maybe months away. The Northern Army was still fragmented and all that was left was a raven from Lord Bartherton of the Stormlands to arrive from the south. The Stormlands wouldn't be bring in a full contingent as many of the houses in the Stormlands had not yet claimed young Gentry as their Lord. There were some houses from Dorne that may provide soldiers for political reasons so they could claim they were for the Dragon if victory ensued. These are issues that could not be corrected with the short amount of time needed to storm Kings Landing. For lucks purpose the function of the Southern Army was to prevent the fleeing of the Lannister Army to the south and show strength to the people and Army of Kings Landing that they were surrounded by all sides breaking their resolve.

The trek to Kings Landing would be new ordeal itself. The Wedding that happened at Winterfell surprised everyone. The Northern Lords weren't really sure how they felt. Jon needed an act to show his power before the North started to splinter off and loose what allies they had left.

Lord Glover came down from his castle with his men in arms to congratulate King Snow on his nuptial's and for defeating the Night King as only he could. A conclave of all the Northern Houses met four days after the Wedding to see what direction the North was going in the near future. At the main table sat King Snow dressed in Stark colors with his direwolf right by his feet. To his right sat his Queen Daenerys looking composed and confident. King Jon's Northern wife, Sansa, sat to his left with the direwolf emblem on her fur and with Sir Brienne, Lady Arya behind her, and Bran off to the side watching it all.

The strength of the King and his wives were on full display to let the North know who was in charge. The Northern Lords in audience looked different then before the war with the Night King. Many of the houses were not represented as they and their members or were decimated by the Night King in the Winter War. Noticeably absent was house Mormont, others were led by boys and girls as the elders of their houses died in the Winter War.

The collection of houses was brought to order by Sir Davos and the meeting was begun.

King Snow. " I like to thank all of you for arriving, my Queens and I know of the sacrifices everybody in this room made. We have lost a great many of friends and family and know that their actions will not be forgotten. I have brought you all here to tell you of our plans going forward in the near future and after."

Lord Manderly. "Your Grace, I'm a little confused. Are you King of the North or King of the Seven Kingdoms? Is Queen Sansa Queen of the North or of the Seven Kingdoms?

Grumbling started in the hall and conversations started happening in pockets all over the room. Before things got out of control Tormund started banging his axe on the floor to get control of the room.

King Jon stood up. "Currently Cersei still holds the realm. So I am neither the King of the North or of the Seven Kingdoms. Queen Daenerys is also not Queen as of yet so that will have to be fixed in the next few months. Queen Sansa is and will remain Warden of the North and will reside in Winterfell when the realm is ours again. Queen Sansa will have control of the North and will make all its decisions with the backing of Queen Daenerys and myself. It is our wish in the next year we will have control of the realm and be able to give you better answers."

Sansa stood up. "King Jon has informed me of the realms plans for the future and it is my mission to bring the North back to its glory and protect all the people under the Stark banner, but before that we must reclaim the throne back for King Jon and Queen Daenerys. I know Cersei and she is vindictive. She won't stop until the North is wiped out or in chains, this I promise you."

More grumblings from around the hall.

"This means that every man capable of bearing arms will be escorting myself , King Jon and Queen Daenerys south."

This time Balon Flint, who was the new head of House Flint, stood.

"My queen, my house like many in this room have been devastated by the Night King. Surely we need to stay and rebuild from this past war."

Queen Daenerys. "I wish that were so, we need to defeat Cersei now before she gains anymore strength. Each day she sits on the throne she is getting stronger. We need to defeat her now before she marches North ".

King Jon. "Cersei's first mission if I were her is to secure the Riverlands as well as the Erie. I will travel with Queen Sansa to the Riverlands and Queen Daenerys will lead a contingent with Lord Royce to the Eerie. If we get there in time I hope to unite our forces before we lay Siege to Kings Landing. The only way to live in peace is to secure the throne. We will be running a propaganda campaign in Kings Landing to get the people on our side. With the lack of food being transferred to Kings Landing the timing will be in our favor. When we arrive at Kings Landing we plan to have little resistance from the people as they are not our enemy, but we must plan for the worst."

Lord Glover. "This is all a good plan until it goes wrong. Who will be watching our backsides once we leave and how will we eat before the siege and once we get Back?"

This brought a lot of conversation among the room.

Queen Daenerys stood as she addressed the room. "My Lords, we up here on the dais realize our obstacles but have made short and long term plans. With over half our people traveling south our food should hold out. Lord Brandon Stark will remain in Winterfell and all without homes are welcome here. Lord Gentry of the Stormlands has been given leave to negotiate with the lords of the Stormlands and Dorne to open trading lanes through White Harbor. When we have secured the Eerie and Riverlands King Snow and I plan to ride our Dragons to the Reach for their assistance before we take Kings Landing."

Lord Glover spoke up. "We have served the Starks for over 1000 years, what you're telling us could lead to the end of our houses and death to our children. A true Stark wouldn't take those risks."

Sansa went to stand up but Jon calmly put his hand on her arm. He realized the whole North was looking at him now and a wolf wasn't getting through to these people. He would see if a Dragon would. King Jon walked around the table to stand looking over Lord Glover.

"Lord Glover, right now the strength of your house is in question. I look over at Alys Karstark, she is hurt and she has lost family in the Long Night yet she offers no complaint as I know she has, as anyone in this room has. The wildlings who have no allegiance to House Stark are here as they were during the long night as many other houses who fought brave and valiantly were here. Where were you?" Jon got nose to nose with Lord Glover. "I'll tell you were you were. In your castle ignoring an order from your liege Lord."

The whole room seemed to hold its breath as the only sound was the winds blowing through the cracks created by the long night. "Right now I don't have time or patience for people questioning me as a Stark. If our plan does not please you maybe we can have a conversation between you, me and my dragon and I will see where your loyalties lie."

Lord Glover stood motionless and looked out over everyone in the room and back to King Jon. "House Glover will be accompanying you South. We will stand by house Stark as we have for a thousand years."

This seemed to placate everyone in the room. King Jon "tomorrow at this same time Lord Davos will be meeting with all the Lords to give you assignments going south, the meeting is over."

As the lords and people of the north bowed and started to file out King Jon rose with Queens Daenerys hand in hand and went through to the kitchen. Queen Sansa spoke to her small Queensguard and after a few moments followed Jon and Queen Daenerys out.

As she entered Sansa found the Queen and King in an intimate moment and feeling out of place as she saw Jon and Daenerys there. At that second she didn't know how she felt. Part of her felt like an intruder while another felt jealous that she will never be able to have the intimacy or love that Jon and Dany have. When the king saw this he quickly separated from the Queen and questioned Sansa.

"Is there anything that you need from us to help organize the trek to the South?" Sansa looked at the royal couple and shook her head. "Lord Royce and myself will organize the logistics with the North. Most is done and we need to start now."

Jon looked down and shook his head. "The Queen and I will be in the camps preparing the Dothraki and Unsullied." Both Jon and Daenerys looked at her as an uncomfortable silence came over the room. "We will see you on the meeting tomorrow." Jon still did not know how to look at Queen Sansa with his other Queen looking upon him. Everyone in the room was feeling the awkwardness and all looked at each other before leaving the room. Queen Sansa bowed her head. "your Grace" as she left the room.

Cersei

The dusk was falling on the Red Keep. The usual noises could be heard from the city below. As Cersei stood on the balcony overlooking the city with the Mountain by her side her Hand approaches her quiet and calculated stopping a distance away until the Queen acknowledged his presence.

Cersei overlooked the city as she spoke. "Lord Qyburn, what news have you brought me this evening." The slight master nodded to the Queen to answer. "Surprising news from the North, the Night King was defeated and to your prediction most of the Northern forces were decimated." A grin filled Cersei's face as she sipped her wine.

Qyburn spoke. "An interesting development has occurred in the North. Apparently the Targaryen Girl has wed the bastard boy Jon Snow."

Cersei laughed out loud at this. "Fools, she wanted the Seven Kingdoms and she marries to the weakest house that just got destroyed, this may be easier than I thought. Any news of my brother?"

Qyburn replies. "No news other than he was present at the battle but news out of the North has been hard to come by, but there is another piece of news that may be of interest."

Cersei sipped her Dornish Red and looked at her hand. "Apparently the Bastard has married his sister Sansa also."

At this a shocked Cersei nearly choked as she sipped her wine. What could make Sansa do such a thing?

"This is interesting." Cersei said as she looked back over the city. The bastard boy and the Targaryen she could understand but Sansa, she can't be this stupid, can she?

"Lord Qyburn, if the official from the Iron bank is still here please send him to me to see me midday, and Lord Qyburn."

"Yes, your grace"

"See if you can contract the faceless men in Bravos, I may be in need of their services."
