Daenerys
She had made Jon hers, and he had made Daenerys his. She loved him, even more so than she had loved Drogo. When they made love she could only look in his eyes. She really did hope to marry him at Winterfell, she even confided it to him. She had found love again, with her she wasn't "the rightful queen" or "the unburnt" or even "the mother of dragons". She was Daenerys, and he wasn't the warden of the North, he was Jon Snow and they shared their love for eachother, as if their bodies were one. A song of Ice and Fire, she thought. After, if Jon wouldn't stay, she often cried, not because he left her, but because she'd imagine their children they could have together, the children they'd never have. It didn't made Daenerys love Jon any less, and she hoped it didn't made Jon love her any less.
Today they would arrive at Winterfell, she had noticed that Jon would ride beside Jaime sometimes. She noticed that the two seemed to have grew mutual respect for one another. She wasn't sure what to think of that, Jaime Lannister was the man who killed her father, though he was still mad and wanted to burn the city to the ground, the kingslayer had failed to protect Rhaegar's children from being slaughtered. But he had also saved Jon from certain death, and for that he would have her eternal gratitude, she didn't imagine herself losing another lover, and her potential husband. She didn't understand why Jon was friendly to him though, Jaime was suspected to have taken part in the plot of the Red Wedding, but as he had told her after he learnt of what she did to the Tarlys A good act does not wash out the bad, but a bad act does not wash out the good. She had to judge him for both, but she also saw what the Lannister man had suffered when she looked at his hand. Justice has already been served cold to him, she thought.
"So, I've heard talks of marriage." Ser Davos had caught her offguard with his inquisitive tone, despite the fact that he was riding alongside her, looking for conversation.
"Who told you that?" She replied
"Well, Jon himself." Davos said, to which Daenerys replied with a facial expression that showed that she was caught.
"Tyrion has tried to discouraged me from doing it. He thinks I should marry someone else to claim more allies instead of marrying someone I already have on my side. Are you here to discourage me too?" Dany said, which did discouraged her a bit.
"I think you should marry Jon in fact." Davos said, now Davos had caught her attention."I know he bent the knee but, the Northerners and Valemen are proud and honorable people. If there's one thing I learnt in my time in the North, it's that they won't bend the knee to a family that they ousted from power a bit more than 2 decades ago. Especially after said family has almost no lands, and this family's army is composed of invaders."
"What's your point?" Daenerys asked, insulted
"If you marry him, the men of the Vale and the Northerners will see it as uniting behind a common cause rather than being submitted. And if they feel submitted, they'll want to overthrow both you and Jon, but if they feel it more as an union, they'll rally behind you and Jon. Besides, who else would you want to marry? You already love eachother, and you'd simply break the man's heart and face yourself with a friend turned enemy, and all this time on Dragonstone would have served for nothing." Davos said. She was surprised that Jon had confide so much in Ser Davos, but at the same time she saw why he trusted the man, and she could only agree with him. A marriage between her and Jon would only be beneficial, it would also honor the Pact of Ice and Fire, that was established during the Dance of the Dragons, which if fulfilled would appeal to the sense of honor of Jon's bannermen.
"Thank you for your counsel Ser Davos. Tell me, why do you serve him?" Dany asked
"During my time as Hand to Stannis Baratheon, I was sent to Castle Black to gather men and supplies for him. But, as time would tell, by the time I got there, Stannis had already died. I had nothing left to fight for but Jon, was lord commander at the time and allowed me to stay. One night though, shortly after I came to Castle Black, I found the Lord Commander, in a pool of his own blood. He'd been stabbed, you saw it for yourself." Dany nodded. "And later, we secured his body, the wildlings he rescued had came to defend his body, they loved the man. There was a red priest, who served Stannis too, I saw her did... unnatural things while serving Stannis, I didn't knew much of Jon at the time, but I know the man was loved, and that he didn't deserved to die, not yet. So I asked the Red Priestess to reanimate him. I thought maybe, since she was capabled of doing certain unnatural things, she could bring the Lord Commander back to life. So she tried a ritual, I don't think any of us thought it would work, so we left the room when it seemed like it wouldn't work. And then, as I was leaving, I heard him breathing. I couldn't believe my eyes. The man had been dead, there was no doubt about that, but now there was no doubt that he was alive. I didn't belive in gods, and I still don't, your grace, but I know there is something that needed Jon Snow alive. People were saying that he was a god, others that he was a prophesised hero, the red priestess called him The Prince That Was Promised, but what I saw, is a man who gave his own life for his people, and would do it again. I knew at that moment, who I wanted to serve."
"Thank you Ser Davos." The young queen said.
"And if I may add, he only fought for other people, never for his own life. When he fought for Winterfell he didn't fought to get it for himself, he fought for his siblings. I thought the man was a fool, he was too hard on himself, fighting for others is one thing, but he wouldn't allow himself to live over others. Then, he met you. He wants to live, he fights to live now. Not for the crown, he never wanted a crown. He wants to live, because he loves you. And I have to thank you, because of that, or else the man would have end up consuming himself, and turning mad." Ser Davos finished. The words he said were true and honest, she knew it. She didn't expect any less from the Onionknight though, he was renowned for saving people, not killing them. And she didn't expect Jon to surround himself with anyone but people like him.
