Jon shook his head in disbelief. He tried to take in what Daenerys just told him. He tried to hold himself together but it was no use. He shook his head ''No. No, Dany. You can't ask me this..'' he mumbled while trying to hold back his tears.
Daenerys broke down as well. She walked towards Jon. She placed her hand on his cheek and gave him a glance of a smile, ''Jon, If ending my life will save Westeros, I'll gladly give it up. You're the true king, the heir to the Throne and we both know it. You are, Aegon, the future of House Targaryen'' she said reassuring Jon.
Jon didn't know how to answer to Daenerys. He had never wanted to be king. Even before he found out his true parentage he never cared for ruling Westeros. It was just not who he was. ''Dany..'' Jon said trying to find the right words.
He took a deep breath before finishing his sentence ''I can't kill you again'' he admitted.
Daenerys saw a glance of hurt in Jons eyes but he masked it away pretty fast. ''Jon, I know it's still a difficult subject to talk about. But we both know that you did what you thought was right. This is in the past. We both have to face our demons, Jon. My demons are hunting me every day, what I did to the people in Kings Landing will always hunt me. That's my curse after returning from the dead. I see all of their faces'' Daenerys admitted.
Jon was surprised to hear that from Daenerys ''I didn't know..'' he mumbled. Instead of saying another word he pulled her closer to him. Daenerys put her arms around him and rested her head on his shoulders. Jon placed his arms around her and embraced her as tightly as possible.
Daenerys pulled away from the hug when she heard a knock on her door. She turned around and focused her attention to the door ''Come in'' she said.
The door opened and Daenerys saw Greyworm walking inside the room. He stopped when he faced Daenerys and Jon. ''Your grace'' Greyworm said.
''Good morning, Greyworm. Where can I help you with?'' she asked.
Greyworm scrapped his throat before talking ''We found someone who tried to sneak into the keep'' Greyworm said. ''I wanted to kill him but he kept insisting he was a friend of Jon Snow'' Greyworm said a bit irritated.
Daenerys turned around to face Jon. ''Do you know anyone who would come here?'' Daenerys asked surprised. She didn't expect anyone to show up looking for Jon. She had been extra careful ever since they found out Bran could warge into people.
Jon shook his head ''No, I'm not expecting anyone. I haven't been exactly social since my banishment'' Jon admitted.
Daenerys nodded at Jon before turning around to face Greyworm again. ''Bring the prisoner to the throne room. I'll talk to him there'' she said to Greyworm.
Greyworm nodded before leaving Jon and Daenerys behind in the room.
Daenerys turned her attention back to Jon. ''Do you want to accompany me?'' she asked him. Jon nodded at Daenerys ''Yes, I'd like to. Gimme a moment tho'' he said with a chuckle. Jon walked back to the bed and grabbed his shirt from the ground. He put it on before gesturing for Daenerys to lead the way.
Daenerys and Jon arrived in the throne room about 10 minutes later. Daenerys decided not to sit on the throne, instead she sat down on the stairs in front of them. She heard the doors of the room open and saw Greyworm walking into the room with no one other than Samwell Tarly.
Jon was taken by surprise to see his friend walking into the room. Jon gave Daenerys a worried glance because he didn't want his friend to get hurt. Daenerys met Jons look and gave him a reassuring look. Jon didn't say a word but walked towards his friend and Greyworm and stopped in front of them.
''Release him at once'' Jon said, with an angry tone to Greyworm.
Greyworm didn't obey and looked pissed off at Jon. He didn't trust Jon one bit, but he knew he had to because his queen had decided otherwise.
''Greyworm, release lord Tarly right away'' she ordered. She gave Greyworm an angry glance and he obeyed right away. ''Yes, my queen'' he said before uncuffing Samwell.
Samwell rubbed his wrists because the cuffs had been too tight. He was relieved when he was released. He looked at Jon and saw the change in his friends eyes.
''Sam'' Jon said before taking a few more steps to his friend to pull him in for a hug. Sam hugged Jon back for a second. But he noticed Daenerys staring at them so he pulled away. ''What are you doing here, Sam?'' Jon asked a bit confused. Not knowing what his friend attentions were.
Sam took a deep breath before looking up to meet Daenerys' gaze. ''I want to help you find the sword'' Sam blurred out.
Daenerys looked confused at Sam ''Why would you want to help me?'' she asked.
Sam looked down for a second and gathered all of his courage to answer ''Because I saw what Bran is capable of…''
This took Jon and Daenerys both by surprise. They had no idea what Sam was talking about.
''What do you mean, lord Tarly?'' Daenerys asked worried.
''I was in the keep the day you two invaded the keep and faced Bran. I saw what he did to your dragon, Jon. But I found something out as well..'' Sam said.
''Wait, what?'' Jon asked.
Sam took a deep breath again, not knowing how to tell them what he knew ''I overheard Bran talking about how he manipulated, you..'' Sam said before pointing his finger at Daenerys.
Daenerys was in disbelief and tried to take in what Sam just told her. She tried to find the right words but was stuck. ''But, how? I remember everything..'' she admitted.
Hearing this gave Jon a chilling feeling all over his body. Knowing she remembered everything made him worry about her.
''Do you really remember everything? Every second?'' Sam asked.
Daenerys tried to think back to the moment in Kings Landing. She tried to remember exactly what happened, but she realized that she didn't remember every second of it. In shock she shook her head ''No..'' she admitted.
''Exactly what I thought. Bran isn't strong enough to control you for a long. He can only take over for a few seconds'' Sam explained.
Daenerys tried to hold herself together when she heard this revelation but she didn't know how to deal with this. ''So you're telling me that I didn't burn down Kings Landing?'' she asked confused.
Sam shook his head ''I think you're partly guilty. Bran was the one who started it, probably by ordering your dragon to burn down the city when he controlled you for a few seconds, but your own rage is the reason why you kept on going'' he explained to Daenerys.
Daenerys realized what this meant. She knew she was the one responsible for the massacre that had taken place. The thought of that made her feel sick to her stomach. She felt the tension rise in her body and the tears were starting to form in her eyes. She looked down but she felt her lips tremble. Her heartbeat racing and her breaths were quickening. ''Excuse me..'' Daenerys said all of a sudden before running out of the room. Daenerys ran past Sam out of the room towards her room.
Jon was frozen in his place, still trying to deal with what he just heard. He saw Sam standing uncomfortably across from him. Jon was deep in his thoughts until he realized Daenerys was running past him.
Jon focused his attention to Sam for a moment ''Sam, you're no longer a prisoner. Greyworm will lead you to my room. I wish to speak to you in private'' Jon said to him.
Sam nodded at Jon. But Jon was too distracted. He ran after Daenerys to her room.
Daenerys just got in her room and locked the door when she heard Jon knocking on her door. She heard his heavy breathing ''Dany! Please open the door!'' he begged her.
Daenerys let herself fall down onto the ground. She sat down, placing her head on her knees, sobbing. All of her guilt came out at once. She felt disgusted about herself and she realized that she couldn't blame anyone for her actions except for herself.
''Dany..?'' Jon begged. He knocked on the door again. ''Please, let me in'' he added.
''You should go..'' Daenerys said between her tears. Not wanting to bother Jon with her problems.
Jon placed his hand on the door before he answered ''Dany, I'm not going anywhere. Please open up..'' he begged one more time.
Jon didn't hear an answer and he was about to turn around when he heard the sound of the lock opening. He turned around and hurried towards the door before walking into Daenerys' room. He saw Daenerys sobbing uncontrollably on the ground. Jon sat down next to Daenerys and put his arm around her before pulling her closer. He didn't say a word, neither did she. But they didn't have to. In this moment they just shared their demons that were coming back to haunt them.
